AI Overview
The world steam locomotive speed record is 126 mph (203 km/h), set by
the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) ক্লাস A4 4468 Mallard on
July 3, 1938. Driven by Joe Duddington and stoked by Thomas Bray on the
Stoke Bank incline in Lincolnshire, UK, this record remains officially
unbroken for steam traction.
This video shows the historic run of the Mallard and its record-breaking
speed:
