I think that the UP 844 was the engine that Astrotrain used for his train mode in the G1 cartoon. (please correct me if I'm wrong) It was nice watching this video and catching up on the content. Thank you for such amazing videos Lazer!
I cant pick a favorite. As a kid who grew up watching the "I Love Toy Trains" series I love the J3 Hudson as they used it very often (and in 2 of their songs which I still get nostalgia for). As an adult I love 844 as its one of the few surviving steam locos here in America and there's tons of great vids of it. for anyone looking for that hit of nostalgia its "Streamliners" and "Ghosts of the Rails" both by James... something
While many railroad historians tend favor the Dreyfuss Hudson as the fastest American steamer ever there's speculation that the UP FEF-3s were in reality the fastest not only in America but also the world since it never got properly speed tested.
Laserjet, can you make another polar express where there is the real polar express which is pere Marquette 1225. And side by side union Pacific 844 with union Pacific coaches... The best model of polar express is in trainz but i think you can download it from somewhere for dovtail ts. The polar express coaches are also available with the train.
Hi LaZeR, I just want to tell you,YOU ARE AMAZING AND SO ARE YOUR VIDS!KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!p. S. Please use the br 18 in the German, Brittain , and America race...
The fact that the Union Pacific 844 won this race doesn't mean it won fairly, cuz It was running on some type of glitch, cuz in that one video where Lazer jet was testing which American engine was the best or in other words (fastest) all of the engines programmed to go on 110% power soooo yea, I think the NYC Hudson still has to be beaten fairly
Howdy! Think I might be able to answer this question for you. For a bit of background, I live in Utah, used to work the rails for UTA (awful railway, trust me), and I'm a passionate fan of Union Pacific and their steamers. 1: The US Government has no control over rail whatsoever, save Conrail which was formed by an act of the Federal Government. Railways are private enterprises, so the US has no say in how certain engines are or are not used. 2: UP-844 was a passenger engine during her hayday, and she was designed to be a passenger engine. She hauls fast and far, and rides quite smooth compared to other locomotives, but she's not meant to pull freight. Over flat land, she'd be capable of doing so, but you'd be much better off with engines actually designed to do that, such as the UP Challengers. She'd struggle in the mountains, which is why the Big Boys were created. 3: Steam is much more expensive and maintenance intensive than diesel is, not to mention there's nowhere near the same amount of versatility with crews. Keeping all your crews operating on the same machines or very similar ones reduces the amount of retraining needed to get them up to snuff. 4: Why do we need to haul freight fast? Freight rail in the US is usually run from factory to factory, or factory to distribution center (though even that is quite rare unless you're out east). There's no reason for anyone to stress about getting cargo anywhere as fast as humanly possible, provided it arrives within a certain window of its scheduled arrival time, all's well. 5: This is one of the biggest ones here. The majority of US rail is built for freight, and it's not rated for speeds much higher than 60-80mph. 844 makes a great express hauler, but you've gotta have rail that can handle her speeds and weight, especially since steam is typically much heavier than diesel. Until there's a massive need for express rail across the country, there's no reason for that rail to be upgraded. It's just not financially viable. With the insane network of airports across the US, most people would prefer to fly. It's faster, easier, and in many ways, more convenient.
@@casbrowne9055 Well that’s only hear the train simulator in the real world at the New York Central Dreyfuss Hudson was still around it would actually be the UP 844
I love this man by how he listen to his views and try to making his views ideas and make it possible

Astrotrain was a JNR D51.

UP 844 🚂 is my favorite steam locomotive!
Same
There's this sense of satisfaction, knowing that the NYC Hudson finally lost. Bravo to you Union Pacific 844!
Finally something beats it
Dang it you spoiled the race
Its actually not the 844 blowing up its actually (I think not sure) blowing a cylinder head
While many railroad historians tend favor the Dreyfuss Hudson as the fastest American steamer ever there's speculation that the UP FEF-3s were in reality the fastest not only in America but also the world since it never got properly speed tested.
Do a speed test with the UP 844, UP Challenger, UP big boy, and the New York Central Hudson and the City of Truro
I prefer the NYC Hudson overall, the New York Central is my favorite Railroad
The Hudson was like: YA WANNA SEE SOME REAL SPEED?But then the 844...
844 was like WHOAH BITCH GET OUT THE WAY!!!! and hudson was like fufufurueufuruvueusifofiaufovirughsuvisuvufu
How did you get the j3 Hudson? And how did you install it?

Good idea
Just leave the polar express alone it's my favourite train after all
@@carolinecable6250 I know right?

Lovely video finally I like the 844
HI lazer when are you doing your next speed test
First and the first like and the first view bruhh and do union pacific 844 vs tgv
What a race🏁
You can say that again
the 844 is its number and it is actually called FEF-3
I have a suggestion for the next race video, mallard going 100% power and the UP 844 going 78% to see which is the fastest locomotive
That’s a good one but lazer jet did it but it’s cool for a rematch from those two again
@@cesarcarranza216 I didn’t know my bad
@@sharkpuppetrf468 it’s ok the race happens a few years ago and now we have no race map it would be interesting to do it again
Let's gooooo. Another great video
You can do a race with the New York Hudson vs 4-4-0 Jupiter
That would even be fair
well jupiter might take off faster
@@geminatrafalgar8978 the Hudson still could win remember it's not the first to go the fastest is the first to stop
844 is the most amazing steam train in train sim 2021 (besides smokey joe)
WOW awesome race!
Alternate title:rematch of NYC Hudson and 844
Can you make a race with 844 & Flying Scotchman, but you drive the 844.
I like both of these engines
Great video Oliver
Plz do a HST vs flying Scotsman race!!!!
Who do you think would win?
Ooh that’s hard tbh probs HST
@@AdamPTrainz in real life, flying Scotsman hit its highest record of precisely 100mph, the HST accelerates and decelerates quicker with higher speed
My favorite is the Union Pacific 844 aka The Living Legend
Please do a race between Sir Nigel Gresley and Duchess of Hamilton
How about a world race from many different countries over the world
you should race the Hudson against the norfolk and western 611 if you can find a model of it
Great stream, Oliver!
NYC Hudson is my favorite steam locomotive
Mr Oliver Please Do All UK Steam Trains with wind Deflectors?
Can you race the Streamline and non streamline New York Central Hudsons?
Do another race with the N&W class j 611 please
You should try trainz railroad simulator 2019
Lazerjet do races with coaches And/or freaght
The Union Pacific 844 is my favorite engine I have ever seen in ma life because is body structure is amazing and speed is incredelbly unbetable
In real life both trains can do 120+mph. I read that the NYC Hudson's maximum speed was stated as 123mph 'at least'.
Hmmmmm. . .
The fact that the Union Pacific 844 won this race doesn't mean it won fairly, cuz
It was running on some type of glitch, cuz in that one video where Lazer jet was testing which American engine was the best or in other words (fastest) all of the engines programmed to go on 110% power soooo yea, I think the NYC Hudson
still has to be beaten fairly
BTW I was just saying my opinion
Exactly what glitch?
You got an Achilles class locomotive on this game?
Why doesn't the us use the 844 to haul cargo at high speeds, it's the second fastest operational train in the us
Sure then

Hi Oliver, I got an amazing video idea:a speed test with German steam locos...
I like them both but I like Union Pacific 844 more
The hudson wasnt on full power because in the last video it reached 160+ mph
The Pere Marquette 1225 is the real Polar Express just letting you know
Next: up 844 vs mallard
Up 844: 90% power
Mallard:90% power
A rematch but the NYC Hudson is at 110% power.
Does that mean Connor isn't the fastest engine on Sodor.
Conner was rebuilt as a NYC J3A Hudson yeah
Finally something beat the new York Huston
do big boy vs the duchiss of hammaltin
Can you do 2021 Big Boy VS 2020 Big Boy?
I mean the 2020 Big Boy beats the old Big Boy (unknown year) but can it beat the 2021 Big Boy?
Hhhhmmmm I guess the new big boy would win
UP railroad is like my gf
I like the 844 most
Up 844: Spin's piston and rods puff and puff
Do flying scotsman vs daylight please 🙏
Can you do a french steam locomotive race
Can 844 race Gordon the Virgin engine?
Hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm ?????????????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@makhaimikell2663 well obviously you haven't read Thomas the privatised Tank Engine
Can you race challenger vs 844 straight challenge
Can you please do a race with up844 and polar Express
Laserjet why not here is eurostar versus New York Hudson???
Do a race with tornado and the Union Pacific 844
do NYC hudson and union pacific challenger race
Those engines are in no way, shape or form a female but still an amazing video
Usually a ship or locomotive would be considered a she or her but the big boy locomotive is a male since it is a “big boy” locomotive
@@sharkpuppetrf468 why can't people just call it an it
@@grooviestglobe4907 that won’t show the true beauty of a locomotive by calling them an “it”
@@sharkpuppetrf468 in this case it's about what's on the outside instead of the inside
I like 844 the most
We still need to beat the Acela Express
Acela*
Nope
Something else
@@KyngRailfanner8090 It’s not called Acela Express
I know
How about the return Of the LJ Railway Get your hands on K2 Mogul A Foul tender and BOOOM James
Oliver pls read thes but can you do Mallard Vs the 844 Vs flying Scotsman?
Lazer jet can you do hudson vs mallard
Very good
If the 844 were to be on 100 percent power, the Hudson would be miles away.
the 844 is gonna speed up rapidly and either over take the Hudson
I Love Hudson's.
Laser remember me its me pro roblox
I wish someone recreates the nyc hudson
It's already been done.
Idea:smokebox big boy vs big boy original
it's the final showdown
Wow I was in the first 10 likes what a rare occurrence
So the Hudson finally lost
The Hudson lost because this race was not fair the New York Hudson should have been 175% power
@@casbrowne9055 Well that’s only hear the train simulator in the real world at the New York Central Dreyfuss Hudson was still around it would actually be the UP 844
Why does the Up 844 smoke very badly
844 is my favorite and flying scotsman
i love both
844 🚂 vs thv 🚄
NYC hudson
Plz do a race with flying Scotsman and the black 5
*844 beats Hudson* Ed Dickens: Get rekt
Hey I can’t see my steam engine on my train game
NYC Hudson favorite
maybe just use the great strategy for epic musik
I prefer the NYC Dreyfus Hudson
I like Both Locos
I thought that the New York will beat up 844 cause it beat anything is is path until now !
Does anyone remember union pasific 844 has a second tender.
844❤❤❤❤
OMG UP 844 IS VERY FASTER AND IT IS THE FASTEST .
Union Pacific 844 😊
