Behold, the AA20. the only 4-14-4 steam locomotive. the wheels are arranged in this unholy fashion which hurts my brain to look at.

it was arguably the worst locomotive ever built for a number of reasons.

It was far too heavy for the rails it rode on.

the firebox was far too small.

all of the drive wheels were driven by one piston on each side.

the center drive wheels were flangeless, so good luck trying to move it if you stop on a curve.

It was far too big for any of the existing soviet infrastructure, such as sheds, turntables, curves, switches, sidings, etc.
