Its larger firebox, supported by the two trailing wheels, gave it greater steaming capacity than the 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler; the added pair of drivers gave it greater pulling power than the 4-4-2 Atlantic; and the additional front wheels gave the Pacific greater stability than the 2-6-2 Prairie. This combination of virtues made it ideal for giving passengers a smooth ride at high speeds. The Pacifics were so successful, for their time, that virtually every important passenger-carrying road relied on a fleet of Pacifics to head up their most famous passenger trains, including the famous Jersey Central Blue Comet, which was a sign of luxury and grand service for twelve years.
