4459 was built in 1920 by Lima and is one of the last batch ordered by Union Pacific. 4451-4480 S-6 was its class. 4455 & 4466 are preserved but 4459 went to scrap. Sweet engine to add up in Thurmond. Might need another one to help with Thurmonds yard. Great video Mikerowchip, vintage railroading at its finest.

Hey, thanks! Before I found this engine to use on the route, I have never even heard of an S-6. I really like it as well. Are the 4455 and 4466 still in running order? The information you have on this engine is quite impressive, thanks for sharing!

that building properly was a old signal box till the yard got to big now maybe a storage or chemical shed i have not noticed that cattle yard b4

So not a Starbucks? Would it have windows on it if it was a signal box? Come to think of it, does it have windows on it? I can't remember. It would have been tough getting the cattle to swim to that yard before putting them on the train.

401 videos in almost 2 years man time has fly by so fast.

I know, right? It is hard to believe I have made so many videos. It feels like I've made about 50 or so. I'd say I need help but I'm having too much fun!

Steam engines go by the size of the drive wheels so with the small wheels it's going to pick up speed faster than the bigger engines and the s6 is the model number

Hey, that's interesting! When I think about it, smaller wheels and faster acceleration makes perfect sense! So S-6 is the model, thanks for that as well.
