Yes! Another steam engine brought back to steam! 😁🚂
Yes it’s a very exciting time! I can’t wait to go see her again! ♥️
Really warms the firebox in your heart, don't it?
@@trainguy111 indeed it does especially WP power!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains be nice if the museum restored their 2-8-2 former UP. THAT would be a sight to see
@@nicholasmedovich6729 I totally agree! It would be badass seeing WP power on the Mainline in NoCal!
Ok, that’s now probably one of my favorite 0-6-0 whistles ever.
It’s an authentic Western Pacific Whistle that was on her sister 164! And so it’s an authentic sound!! It exudes true power behind every pull!
Thats me and my son climbing into the cab at 8:20! So my father was the store keeper at Portola from 1921 to 1942. I'm pretty sure my father rode in 165 many times. A circle of life moment for you to catch me and my son checking off a bucket list item!
Where was this at!? I’m sorry but it was a while back but that’s awesome! I’m really happy I got to film it!! Thanks for the awesome backstory too!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains Thats me and my son climbing into the cab at 8:20! My video of our cab ride here. th-cam.com/video/OJKf6C_DYf0/w-d-xo.html. July 2, 2022. I was there with my son. I have followed the rebuild of #165 for many years. My father worked for the WPRR from 1911 to 1961. I have quite a bit of WPRR history in my father's archives. This clip is an interview with my father a year before he passed away. th-cam.com/video/8N-8987sTuE/w-d-xo.html
Awesome, welcome back to life 165! Congratulations!
Yes Brian Fallon she came out and put on a clinic of how beautiful Western Pacific power can be! ♥️

Well thank you for the awesome comment! I really tried to put my best work into this video and it shows!
Great video I love the Western Pacific Railroad, SP too! Thank you for sharing!
Gregory Running Elk- I appreciate you watching. I was worried that it was too much content but I wanted enough footage of the event!
There’s been 25-35 steam back to restored operations in the last couple of years. When challenger is back as well as 5011. Man we no longer have to wish we lived to see these things run we are bringing them all back one by one
This is a beautiful thing to see beautiful American Steam rise to the level of European steam! Keep me updated on 5011!!
Awesome! And great video good sir 😊👍🏻
Thank you sir!
She's a beauty. Love the old work horse running under her own power.
@David Dryden yes she is and my gosh did she put on a great show that day!
I had no idea that this locomotive was out there and had been returned to steam; it's a great thing to see!!
Well she’s been in rebuild since I believe 2006 so it was a long time coming! It was a treat to see her strutting her stuff!
Absolutely amazing I had no idea they had this locomotive rebuilt and ready 😮 i’ve been to this museum only once out of my 42 years I’ve lived in the area, I’m only two hours away I need to seriously get back up there this spring 👍 thanks for sharing I’m really digging your channel you need more subscribers my friend don’t hold back keep up the great Content 😃
Aww thanks Sean I’m appreciative of the subscribers I have right now. I know I’ll get more but I’m appreciative of the ones I have now!😁👍🏼 yea 165 was strutting her stuff like a boxing champ!!

Can we give an RIP to that armrest on the engineers side! * Edit * thank you everyone for watching and having this video ROCKET in views!!! Y’all are amazing!!!🥹
Beautiful video my friend ❤️ 🇮🇳
Well I appreciate the kind comment sir! I really made sure that I put my best work into this video! I really hope to see you again sir!
Congratulations to all of the volunteers of the Portola Railroad Museum for restoring the #165 back to operating condition.
They all did a Bang Up job of it and she looked like a very good looking young lady out there on that amazing day!
i really enjoyed this.
Thank you for the nice comment. I just tried to keep as steady as I could and mitigate the wind noise!
Honestly, I didn’t even know there were any WP steam engines left. Most of the ones I’ve seen preserved in CA are CP/SP, V&T, and the like. Nice to see a WP in preservation, let alone operational.
What would be an amazing pipe dream would be to restore WP 334 and or WP 26! Big 8 driving wheel BEASTS of the Western Pacific!!

By far your best video that I have watch. So enjoyable to see another steam locomotive brought back to life. What beautiful weather you had that day. By the way I was wondering if you live near the Bakersfield area or did you travel to go to the Bakersfield train show? I live in the area and besides my parents I have no other train friends.
@James Close I do live in the Bakersfield area! However, Currently I’m in training with The Union Pacific and that’s taking priority currently! Also I have a discord and that’s where you can message me there! 👍🏼
First Western Pacific Steam Locomotive to run in the 21st Century!
Edit: My bad, there's also Western Pacific 94
Well 94 was last run in 1986 so this is the first run of steam for WP in the 21st century and I was happy to be able to witness history!
Does anyone know if 165 will receive boiler jacketing? I reckon it will considering how stark the iron red is compared to the shiny black of the cab and tender. Great video!
I actually don’t know that question but I puked assume they will put her boiler jacket on her!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains thank you!
Lookin' good, but, . . . . OK let's get 'er done (lagging & boiler jacketing).
Hey @2quintly haha ink really enjoy the way she looked in the video. Made her feel more alive and real. Also seeing parts of a steamer that don’t normally get recognized is also pretty awesome!!
That whistle sounds pretty good but it sounds a bit raspy/airy like not all of the notes are ringing out quite as well as they could.
It may in fact be I don't know unfortunately. However, I am a fan of it due to it being a genuine WP whistle from its sister 164.
@@WIPEOUT_Trains
They had issues kinda similar with Sierra 3 and had her whistle rebuilt. Could even be just in need of some tinkering and adjustments before needing actual machine work too.
🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
She was perfect that day too!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains steam locomotive is my favorite!
When’s the last time the 165 was under steam?
@Rudy Carlson at the time of the recording, it had been 65 years since 165 moved under her own power!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains wow! Was she coal bunning originally? I saw in the video at some point it was converted to burn oil?
@@rudycarlson8245 to the best of my knowledge, she was originally a coal burner but in modern California, steam locomotives have to be oil burners regardless!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains well at least The 165 is back under steam!
@@WIPEOUT_Trains Oil use is not a modern environmental requirement. The WP burned oil on all locomotives on its western division, coal on the eastern. Coal east of Winnemucca and oil to the west. The reason involved fuel-supply chains. By the end of steam on the WP, pretty-much everything had been converted to oil as it was easier to ship, handle, and it eliminated coal processing, ash disposal, and related maintenance.
