- Date: 02/10/03 16:35. Re: Largest Steam Engine. There were no 2-10-10-4\'s in the U.S., and I doubt anywhere else, either. The VGN 2-10-10-2\'s worked at least into the mid-\'40\'s. After VGN electrified west of Roanoke, these engines pulled the coal drags from Roanoke to Norfolk, before the Lima 2-6-6-6\'s took over.

How long can I keep raw brocolli in the fridge? They will last for 3-5 days in the fridge. Corn Keep corn in its husk in the fridge. Eat as soon as possible because its sugar quickly turns to starch, causing it to lose its flavor. Carrots, Radishes, Turnips, Beets, and Parsnips should be stored in plastic bags. They will last for two weeks in the fridge. Take tops off the carrots before storing, and leave greens on radishes, turnips and beets, with both roots and tops in the bag. Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Scallions, and Summer Squash will last for 4-7 days in plastic bags in the crisper. Spinach, Kale, Chard, Lettuce, Salad Greens, and Cooking Greens will last for 4-7 days in a crisper and should be kept in plastic bags.
