  • This past weekend, I had the opportunity to see, chase, and tour the 1927 Steam engine that is AT&SF 4-8-4 #3751. In this video you will see the departure from Union Station in Los Angeles, a pace of the train down the I-10 freeway, a few roll-bys in El Monte and Upland, a few shots in San Bernardino (where it was displayed for the Railroad Days), and the return trip through Upland. This was my first time seeing the Loco in action, and I had a BLAST! I'd like to thank everyone who I met or hung out with this past weekend, and I hope you will enjoy my video!

    Riding in your car on the interstate and this beast comes along beside you. Gives you a true feeling of being very very small.

    Give me great pleasure to see steam locomotives restored and back in operation. This is the most favorite video of trains that I have in my playlist. April 16 -17 are very special days for me. It’s great for me to watch this video taken on this special day.

    My first love is English steam, but Im becoming transfixed by the might of American steam. This shows just how big an American pacific is compared to so called big British locos. Some of my favourite locos are the Pennsylvania K4s and the Bigboys. How great it would be to see a Bigboy running but my understanding is none are in working order. 3751 is mighty and beautiful

    Seeing the world's biggest Northern going down the freeway: priceless. Also wild and crazy. Glad the various railfan drivers could jockey for position without a pileup. And no road rage shootings that day to boot! (Funny how that SP car keeps changing colors all chameleon-like. Oh that's right: different trips on different days! Shazam!)

    That being said, I love steam locomotives and wish they'd make a comeback...with modern technology they could make one that required much less maintenance and I'm sure the added fuel savings would make them competitive against diesel.

  • @Oddman1980
    @Oddman1980 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The reason diesel locomotives took over has less to do with the environment and much more to do with cost. It's very labor intensive to run and maintain a steam locomotive. Look at that thing, it's beautiful but it has more moving parts than a silo full of swiss watches.
