    The music is shite. Keep that rap beat garbage away from steam locomotives. Too classy to even remotely to be associated with that disgustingness.

    Great Western 90 is now still pulling on the Strasburg railroad, 90 will remain to her new home while modern railroads are taking over.

    Wow that’s very cool. There could actually be a way in very near future if not right now on how to enhance the quality of these videos to see specifically which numbers those are. What surprised me most here was the fact 2 of them were jointly hooked together rather than it being just 1 pulling all of the freight. I’m pretty sure 2 of them weren’t needed in this case but rather used for faster starting times.

    I love the Big Boys! Little fun fact, 90 percent of the time when Big Boys were doubleheaded with other big power like in this clip, it wasn’t because the train was to heavy but rather to transport the extra engine to another division point.

    Super. I never got to see steam on the C&S between Denver and Wyoming, but I did see the last steam at the Great Western of Colorado served sugar beet mills, and I know some of the history of this particular Mikado locomotive. I lived in Berthoud, north of Denver, and I remember the first SD-7 and SD-9 locomotives in the Blackbird paint scheme, (Missed the F units by that much.) then later on, the Chinese Red locomotives showed up with a tiny C&S on the side of the cab. The Q steamer looks like it could easily be in northern Colorado hosting a fan trip. 💙 T.E.N.

    This is awesome footage, I remember ridding on trains pulled by the 4466 in Sacramento in the early 1990’s as a kid. It’s a shame that she’s been shelved, all because of Californias emission laws in which no coal powered locomotives can operate in the state and the museums doesn’t want to convert 4466 to oil so she’ll just sit and likely never return to operation.

    The footage as-is seems a little slow but speeding it up by 1.5x makes it look more accurate. Great video nonetheless.

    I dunno. The exhaust looks like it's recorded at normal speed. If she's pulling anywhere near tonnage on the Harriman Line she'd be slowly slogging it up the grade.

Hammerin' spikes into tieplates at -50 F on the high line - left the house @ 5:00AM with a sandwich in every pocket... good times.
