How low can you go? If you could go Limbo dancing in a steam loco, this would be your natural choice. At only 7 feet 6 inches tall, Judy, and sister (brother?) loco, Alfred, are no higher than the top of a UK standard 5 plank open wagon. That means waist high to most UK locos, knee high to most European locos, and somewhere around mid calf height to a US loco. The reason for this stunted growth was a very low bridge on the entry to the Cornish port of Par, which is still a China Clay export port, still rail served. In getting under the bridge every day they were Limbo dancers in a way.
