    Which Coast is Dominant Coast?

    The West Coast will always be always be remembered for the speed of the London & North Eastern Railway with it's racing track to Scotland. Home of the famous A4 Pacifics, (Mallard, a member of this class, holds the speed record for steam at 126.6 mph) and their slightly lesser A3 brother, the LNER had the speed for the "Race to the North" with it's old rival the London Midland and Scotland Railway with it having the West Coast. While the LMS didn't have the line built for speed like the LNER did, the West Coast Mainline produced brilliant displays of engine and crew excellence as they worked to try and beat the LNER's time to Scotland.The ECML had it's apple green engines and teak carriages while the WCML had it's marron engines and carriages.The ECML was home to one of the great Locomotive designers of his day, Sir Nigel Hurbert Gresley, the man that gave us Flying Scotsman, Mallard and Green Arrow, to name a few. His successor, Mr. Edward Thompson, did his best during the War years but mainly destroyed what Gresley had built up. Mr. Peppercorn who followed him, did something of restoring the LNER's pride with the building of his A1s and A2s.If the ECML had speed and the glamour, the WCML had the ability to get the job done. William Stanier, poached from Swindon on the GWR, started to turn the railway around from "run it light and run it quick" into a railway for the modern day. He gave us classes like the Princesses, Jubes and famous Black Five.So East Coast for speed and West Coast for the "everyday" atmosphere.Oh wait you're talking about America aren't you, guys?
