And for your contemplative fun, just think how big those UP engines would have been if built with the same percentage overhang vs track gauge as the 2' stuff!

PS I don't have the data on, for example, SR #23, but if you work the calculation using D&RGW Class K-36 (extreme width [over cylinders] 10' 5" on 3' gauge rails) you'll come up with about 18' total width! Now THAT would be a Big Boy!
