Charles Damery ;-) The Union Pacific already has one locomotive that could single-handedly pull this Auto-Train in the form of #3985, a 4-6+6-4 American Single-Expansion Articulated, Class CSA-6; #4014, a 4-8+8-4 American Single-Expansion Articulated, Class BSA-1, in the teardown phase of a pilot-to-tender overhaul at Cheyenne, WY, USA, as of 20 June 2015, is scheduled to join the UP Excursion Fleet sometime in 2019-20. #3985 packs 6,000 gal. Bunker-5 for her two burners plus 25,000 gal. water, as will #4014. (As of June 2015, #844, a 4-8-4 American, Class FEF-3, is down for major repairs at Cheyenne due to boiler failure.) However, some railroads, such as CSX, have a no-steam rule. This may be due to both roadbed design and rail specification, as both the UP's American articulateds impose a point load that has yet to be matched by any turbodiesel-electric; even the Union Pacific/Electro-Motive DDX-40A weighs no more than the typical 4-8-4 American heavy Northern with tender.
I don't get it why doesn't anyone view my videos even if I have a good camera I tried my best to tape it good with a tripod but I'm not getting any viewers what's going on?
i still remember watching this guy back in 2016 with my grandmother lol
Great catch Alan!!!
Millenniumforce Awesome Video as always, Alan!
Love how the bell keeps ringing
Awesome video!
Classic at HOME CROSSING!
Nice Video!
Hey melleniumforce im heading to Florida next Wednesday at Universal Orlando.
Interesting how the bell kept ringing, even though you are still in Florida.
Taylorover9001 It appears that the gate on the signal with the bell didn't lower all the way.
Nice catch Alan, but it would so much more impressive with a Steam Locomotive on the front. Thanks.
Charles Damery Too bad CSX is anti steam
Most of them are unfortunately. In this case though, it's AMTRK not CSX.
Charles Damery No because Amtrak and all the other railroads permit steam, because CSX since 1994 was always anti-steam (still is!)
Could be they have a fear of starting bush fires in the dry season, but that can happen from wheel sparks too.
