For an outside frame 2-8-0 I always thought the #40 rode well. of course at Georgetown we didn't go very fast and in those days the loco was always on the uphill end of the train. When we brought it to the White Pass it proved to be quite smooth at speeds up to 20+mph. That is pretty fast for an engine with small wheels and wide cylinders. On the other hand the WP&YR did have excellent track.
