On Static display there is a Baldwin steam locomotive in Amarillo since 1956. Nice to know about the #45...very interesting an informative. The #45 makes for a good one to run. The one in Amarillo is the prototype Santa Fe 5000 delivered in 1930. Because it is a Texas type 2-10-4 with 69" drivers it would be much more trouble to go on short trips.
Now you are in my neck of the woods. I was born and raised in Ukiah about 20 miles south of Willits, the eastern terminus of the Skunk train. As a kid, my family and I used to go camping near Ft. Bragg 4 or 5 times a year. I've never ridden the train, though. I guess it like I've lived in the Bay Area since '71 and never walked across the GG Bridge. Some day . . .
I enjoy your video's but have one correction. Boiler gauge is measuring pounds per square inch (P.S.I.), not temperature. At 175 degrees you'd only have very hot water, not steam.
