This reminds me of what happened one afternoon on the railroad that I once was employed. My conductor and I were walking to the Yard building, when we heard whistle blasts from a group of locomotives that were near the diesel tracks. It turned out that a ten year old boy wondered into the freight yard and onto a parked locomotive!! It's a good thing that he didn't have a reverser with him!!
We see the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 4-6-2 number 1344. Build in 1912 by Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific, 73" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, compound cylinders simplified between 1922-27, engine weight of 284,230lb, tractive effort of 30,741 lb. Gone by 1954.
"Their parents had warned them to stay out of danger -- so they played in the railroad yards --" I guess they couldn't find anything safer. No open-hearth steel mills or ammunition depots in the neighborhood, so... :-)
@Steam_Dev ik the face is creppy but (if u know thomas and friends) i tried to drawn a face to this engine in the pic u ser but when i try to do the eyeballs they came to big so that is ehy there is this strange face om the profile pic
So simple that you just have to pull a few levers in some random order? Obviously those kids had no real understanding of engines, or else there wouldn't have been so much wheelspin every time the engine tried to move!! lol

Sister locomotive number 1339 played an important role in the 1926 movie "FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE" with Harold Lloyd.

This was back when railroading was still railroading.

Great old film. Lots of fun. The days before "don't try this at home".
Great movie clip.Love the old steam locomotives.

Movies of this serie were famous in Germany, during the seventys, as "Die kleinen Strolche". I liked it so..
"You kids stay off this engine till I get back!" Now if that's not tempting fate, I don't know what is.
i like the underside of the steam engine view.
So funny ! (though made me nervous)!
I wonder where these people went with their lives
Dude there is a dream railroad, it’s actually trainz
WELL THESE KIDZ SURE WERE GROUNDED
Now that is what I call "YOLO"! :)

I think they made it when diesel engines where invented

I suppose that's what happens -when previous generations have killed "all the Buffalo" and shot all the Red Indians "They get BORED"!
