Must of been great to see 4960 running the trains again after a year. Though 1 thing surprises me that it's bell sounds a but different t like it's being rung slower.
This locomotive was once owned by a man named Richard Jensen who owned several other steamers including Grand Trunk 4-6-2 no 5629 which got scrapped in Chicago back during the 1980s, A friend of mine's relative knew him.
Actually it was 4963 he owned for a short while before CW&I illegally sold it and CB&Q 5632 to a scrapyard. 5629 however was lost at Blue island, not Chicago like 5632.
I'm planning on possibly making a visit to GCR later this year or next year to ride behind 4960, hopefully if all goes well I'll be able to see the nearly century old mikado in action
I used to enjoy watching the steam train come into the Grand Canyon village. When Xanterra changed the train into a boring commuter train, I stopped watching it. I enjoyed the OLD train SO MUCH MORE!!!!
"I refuse to die" Oh hear my haunting whistle you modern men and women! Your forefathers built me and I refuse to die! For I steam down the tracks in North America and I refuse to die! The Government might hate me and even try to put me in a museum but I refuse to die! I steam into the new day and with a smile on a youngster's face and a grin on an old man's face, I refuse to die. -Anonymous 2021

9:38 god damn that echo is amazing
Super scenery for a preserved railway. That's some ambitious shunting move to turn the coaches. 🤓 Fabulous video Michael. Well done 🤓 stay safe 💙

I am in canada and things aren’t going so well here :(
Time to move to Williamstown AZ
Sounds like she has a new bell. Cause I rode it back in 2014 and it had a higher note but maybe it’s just me.
They changed its bell?
Hey mate what video camera do you use?
was the 4960 given a new bell?
Hey man! Was wondering if I could use a clip for a mikado compilation I’m making. You will be credited
Amtrak 19 and Grand Canyon 239 the same beeps are heard.
There’s Something Different About 4960’s Bell Tone Sound Hmmm.....
