Now, this one is for any railfan out there who may look at this video, so tell me if you agree or not. These giants of steam and steel that shake the ground as they roll past, from the 4-4-0's of the 1880's to the H-8 2-6-6-6, were the FINEST ENGINES EVER TO RIDE THE IRON RAILS IN THE USA. The TRUE AMERICAN does not destroy history, he PRESERVES it in working order for future generations, so they may see the history at work as it was when trains were the primary mode of transportation.
@Cockroach2008 NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THE LOSS OF OUR FREEDOM, THE LOSS OF OUR ABILITY TO CHOOSE WHAT JOBS WE WORK AND THE CAREERS THAT WE CHOOSE, NOT COUNTING THE LOSS OF MANY OTHER FREEDOMS THAT OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE. THE STEAM ENGINE BUILT THIS COUNTRY, FROM THE GLORY DAYS OF THE 1880's TO THE GILDED AGE IN THE 1920's, FROM THE EASTERN SEABOARD TO THE WEST COAST, THUNDERING GIANTS MORE RUGGED THAN A DIESEL, STRONGER THAN ANY AIRPLANE. 1 STEAM ENGINE CAN OUT-PERFORM TWO DIESELS.
@Fireheart528 The steam locomotive served it's purpose as a transportation tool. Now, more efficient, less polluting designs are doing the same work.
It is time to junk the steam locomotives & use them for military weapons targeting! Or remove the parts & get paid CASH with NO QUESTIONS ASKED for the gauges, headlight, whistles or bell.
@Cockroach2008 ALSO, YOU FAIL TO NOTICE THAT WITHOUT RAILWAYS, THIS COUNTRY COULD NOT HAVE STOOD FIRM AGAINST JAPAN IN WWII WHILE FIGHTING AGAINTS GERMANY IN EUROPE. HAD WE NOT HAD RAILWAYS AND THE PIONEERING MEN WHO BUILT LOCOMOTIVES CAPABLE OF HAULING FREIGHT TRAINS THAT CARRIED THE CRUCIAL SUPPLIES< WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STEAMROLLERED IN WWII, THE COUNTRY BROKEN AND INAGURATED AS A JAPANESE STATE. EVEN WORSE, CHINA COULD ANNEX US BC OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT THAT WE OWE THEM.
@Fireheart528 The railroad was a vital part & the steam locomotive was just one of the transportation tools. The railway is fine in my opinion. It is the equipment which needs to be scrapped when it comes end of life.
Besides, I have a scrap yard crew I need to pay every week. When we get the steam locomotive to scrap, it makes my day & pays their wages.
None of us care about the steam locomotive except cutting them up is known to be a great way to keep them employed for a while.
That headlight makes a wonderful rifle target! These steam locomotives should have been cut apart for scrap iron 65 years ago! Now it is time to have them keep this appointment with the scrappers torch!
Just before destruction, it would be great if someone got on to the property & applied a beautiful urban graffiti paint job to them! Then remove the gauge sets, whistle, bell, headlights, number boards, extra lights, builder's plate & sold them for CASH at a flea market! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
@Cockroach2008 Ok, now you've gone too far! A headlight used as a rifle target is TREASON!!!!!! How about we scrap YOU?? How about we show YOU what the flame of a scrapper's torch feels like?!? YOU ARE A COMMUNISTIC B**** WHO HAS NO REGARD FOR ANY HISTORY WHATSOEVER. ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO MADE THE SYSTEM WHAT IT IS TODAY. AMERICANS WHO DON"T LIKE AMERICAN HISTORY ARE TRAITORS AND USURPERS, CLEARLY NOT DESERVING THE TITLE OF "AMERICAN CITIZEN". THIS MACHINE BUILT OUR COUNTRY AND WILL NEVER DIE.
@Fireheart528 I don't care what you think! I still think a headlight of a steam locomotive would make a very nice rifle target! I made the system what it is today? That is interesting to me! You think corporations should retain financial loosing equipment because they are historical? Since you think I don't deserve citizenship, what about the corporation who decides this equipment is no longer an asset. What? Preserve it just for you?
Wake up! Steam locomotives are over! Time to shoot at them!
@Cockroach2008 Listen here you miserable little b****, I've put up with enough shit from you. You think that you alone made the system what it is today? Harr harr, not just you, but you and the rest of your little communistic pals who want to destroy progress for progress' sake. This is America, and if you are allied with the people who are trying to tear this country apart, then get the f*** out and go somewhere else, like Russia. They can use commies over there.
@Fireheart528 How is running a scrap metal yard in a free enterprise system communistic? Russia is becoming democratic! It appears you may have missed some education about governments or slept through the classes.
The steam locomotive is a looser! Even the railroad gave them up for their mainstay of business! Not an hour too soon!
They are junk, should be graffiti painted, scrapped, junked out, cut apart & melted down into new materials for new products.
@Cockroach2008 And another thing: never call a steam engine a "money loosing piece of equipment" again. Preserve it just for me? Harr harr! You fail to see beyond your own mindset, and realize that the children born nowadays have little to no experience of a steam engine. The dedicated people that keep these relics alive for the next generation so they can experience what a steam engine is like don't deserve to be bashed with your lies about your scrapyard.
@Fireheart528 The steam locomotive is a "money looser". I don't preserve anything for anybody. I make a living cutting down articles made of metal for a living. I also pay my crews for their living.
Children born in these times need no acquaintance with a steam locomotive other than what is found between the pages of a history book, photograph or perhaps a film. Otherwise, they are junk!
@Cockroach2008 If the corporation decides that they want to retire an engine to static display, thats fine. But there should be as many as possible kept running for future generations. The best steam engine ever built was built under the direction of Andre Chapelon in France, and it was broken up just bc of some heartless people in the company who had, like you, no regard for history and no wish to preserve it..
@Cockroach2008 Now, I believe that I can represent the whole youtube community here in this particular comment. We do not want you here. You have generally made a nuisance of yourself, spreading hateful comments on any video you find that has mention of steam engines. We do not want trolls here, and you are hereby asked to refrain from commenting on any more videos that feature steam engines.
@Fireheart528 You only believe you represent the whole of YouTube. You have no facts to offer. Not surprised.
I have said nothing hateful to any one. I am only expressing my comment as YouTube invites. I don't have to express a comment that "everyone will like". I have made no personal attacks.
Your request is hereby acknowledged, considered & rejected.
@Cockroach2008 Take a good look at my username. It says Fireheart, doesn't it? Well, that describes the passion that burns deep inside me or any person. Anger+Emotion=Passion. It's seperate from the other type of passion, which is a bit complicated to describe. Now, when someone tells you that 'their blood runs hot' when they see something, it defines an intense passion for that interest. They don't give up on that interest for anything.
I also have a passion for cutting apart articles of metal for scrap & paying my crews. It is money. It is income. It is a living. It pays my bills. It makes my crews happy to be working. That is my passion.
I am not going to permit the nostalgia of a steam locomotive stand in my way. If I get another one, it is going to end up in the induction or blast furnace of a foundry.
@Cockroach2008 Hopefully, this will help you start thinking about others instead of just yourself. Maybe looking back at all the comments on the videos you hate would be a good place to start; it might just show you why people don't like you. Maybe it will motivate you to change the way you comment and stop trolling on Youtube. Why not give it a try, and take a look from another person's viewpoint when you re-read all those comments.
@Fireheart528 I have started thinking about others than just myself. I am thinking of the good crewmen & crewwomen who work in my scrap yard, earning their way everyday & providing for their families.
I really don't care who likes/dislikes me. I am just expressing my opinion as YouTube invites. You don't have to like my comments. I never asked you to do so.
I just look at all that scrap iron & know how much money my business & crews could make.
i dont get why people want to get rid of these things i mean there isa great deal of interesting history on these i mean all these high powered super speeding diesel trains didnt just pop out of nowhere these WERE the diesel trains of the old days
The now diesel operated Quincy RR still exists today in the Feather River Canyon, connecting the Quincy log industry to the UP mainline. My friend and I spoke to the Quincy RR maintenance crew this spring right at the spot where the Quincy RR connects to the mainline high up in the hills. It's good to see the Quincy RR Co 2-6-2 is still running a few miles west and in such a good shape too! Keep up the good work, we'll be back soon to visit Niles Canyon.
Hey, Cockraoch2008; is that coz your little appendage is actually a roach, and about as big? Anyway, we need a moving target for a proton beam; wanna volunteer?
No worries, Cockroach, the scrapper will get to work just as soon as he's done with your mom. Just one of her hearty Portuguese breakfasts and a puff of a Sneaky Castro and he'll be on the torch...and off your mom.
No worries is right! I hope he uses the torch well because if he knows what he is doing, he can have this thing out of the scrap yard and load into the smelter in about a week.
Steam locomotives have a considerable amount of recyclable materials.
It is a known fact, the steam locomotive is no longer a cost efficient of means of transportation. They only serve now as amusements for so few.
As the non-profit groups loose members, contributors, donors & volunteers, they are being forced into bankruptcy. Without money, the junk cannot be preserved.
Then the junk will be towed off to the scrap yard to be junked, scrapped, cut apart & sent to the foundry for melting!
Then cut apart and melt all of your precious diesel locomotives Cockroach. They're metal. The only thing that actually costs more with the steam locomotives is the maintenance. But think. What's the cost of a steam engine that doesn't even operate regularly compared to running HUNDREDS of diesel engines daily? Money hungry scrapper... go cry to UP or other railroads to scrap them and see how long it takes for security to get you out. Who's with me on this?!
I already have cut up a number of diesel locomotives, I just want some more fun cutting up steam locomotives.
I am after all steam locomotives.
There is an easy way into the yard where this junker is just waiting for people to come & remove parts. Bells, whistles, gauges, controls, number boards, marker boards, hoses & many other parts.
It is just so easy! So much money to be earned by selling the parts. No questions asked.
Then the NCRY will find it uneconomically to maintain!
Go ahead and cut up the most powerful train engines on the planet. And if this is just for your fun, good luck. Here's my suggestion to you: Hang yourself, stab yourself and run to mommy telling you the bad guys did it, or cry to Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, N&W, Niles Canyon, and whoever else owns any steam engine. But chances of you getting Union Pacific or Southern Pacific to cut up 844, 3985, or 4449 are pretty low. Go live with Saddam Hessein. You'll get what you want. (I know he's dead
All of the mentioned clunkers are easily accessible to remove parts & sell them with no questions asked. They are such easy large targets.
Bells, whistles, gauges, controls, headlights, marker lights, number boards, builders plate, herald, linkages, tools, hoses & so many other quickly removable parts. Carted off in the night to be sold in a flea market 100's of miles away!
It is just such a pleasure to see another steam locomotive wrecked & junked!
Worse financial shape, they can deal with it. You'd be helping them take stolen money from OTHER PEOPLE and then putting THEM in bad financial shape. Yes it *IS* a crime.
If this gets it's parts stolen & sold off in far away places, it is just the way things are.
If they end up in bad financial shape, they may have to sell the "asset" to a scrap metal operator to dissolve all debts. That is where I can help out by purchasing the relic for it's scrap value, cut it apart & send it to the foundry for melt. Just helping them out!
It is not a crime to say to someone, "There is the bank. There is money inside!"
I understand that steam locomotives are loaded with materials which can be reused. Recycle the materials.
Children & grandchildren can see what they need to know in a history or engineering book. I don't need to budget, finance or store anything more than that.
I do like trains, but I know they changed & so did my view of what needs to be kept.
I have the good sense to scrap, junk & dispose of articles which no longer serve. Costs less to dispose of than preserve.
It is just a matter of time for the NCRY. They are slowly going bankrupt trying to preserve all their garbage. It won't be long before they will have to junk their steam locomotives.
OK, I am sick off your conversations, SHUT UP ABOUT THESE JUNKERS! They're not junkers, they are what made trains, trains. And YOU must kill yourself!
I have decided that junking the steam locomotives is a better alternative.
I would like to help out some people who need some cash, very quickly.
Steam locomotive parts are not difficult to remove & can be sold quickly. The locations where steam locomotives are stored are not secure. Go to the storage yard, remove the parts & make off with them.
The parts are easily sold from a car trunk. No questions!
Junk the steam locomotives! Junk the NCRY steam locomotive!
Steam locomotives are more important to history than you will ever know!!! We'd all sooner kill you than scrap these precious pieces of history! Sierra railway No.3 is more famous than any of us! Its served its purpose here! If you really liked trains, you would love the steamers first!
Steam locomotives will remain famous & important between the pages of a history book. There is nothing precious about this article of junk iron. Sierra railway did serve, but that is all it was built for. Now that it's service life is over, it is time to cut it apart, scrap it, melt it & make new products with the materials it will yield. It is a truly green effort, recycling itself! Think of it as a noble deed of self sacrifice so other products can be manufactured.
I think everybody would rather see steam locomotives in action rather than in pictures. Who gives a Good God Damn about the environment?! At least enough to scrap an exciting piece of History! If you hate steam locomotives so much, then why don't you go stand in front of one while its highballing!
There are many who care about the environment. From what I understand of your statement, you would foul the atmosphere & poison the world to preserve the steam locomotive? If everyone dies, who will appreciate your metal junker?
It will be well appreciated between the pages of a history book. So it is time to drop the fire, drain the water and hit the junker with torches, gas powered diamond bladed cut off saws. It is time to junk them all, cut them apart & melt them for new products.
But in order to cut them apart and melt them, you would cause more damaged to the environment wouldn't you?
You don't what your talking about, volcanoes have caused more damage to the environment than man ever has, Wackos like you always take everything to the extreme, your only repeating what you heard, along with the other sheep who drank the kool aid. Try having an original thought if you can, I now it must hurt you.
Oh yes, the Religion of The All-Powerful Environment (a term never used before 1990, I might add).
Screw it. I'm sick of all the talk in every single quarter, from gov down to push-over suburban peon neighbors, as if we must all pay homage to the pagan Earth-god. I naturally conserve and I don't need anyone lecturing me about how holy and sacred it is, and I better do it or I'm evil.
These things must be shut off forever because they pollute. If the operators will not shut them off, then, they must be wrecked, scrapped, junked, cut apart & melted in a foundry.
Thank you for the compliment! It is much appreciated.
Steam locomotives exhaust more than just heated water. I have no problem with the water exhaust. It is the inefficient burn of fuel to produce heated water or steam. There nothing which can be done to make the steam locomtive junk pile match the efficiency of the diesel electric locomotive.
Junk the remaining steam locomotives, scrap them, cut them apart & melt them down into materials for new products!
Nothing wrong with the fuel or burning it. There are better, less polluting ways to burn fuel & obtain power with less pollution the steam locomotive produces.
I have a sense of history. Defined: a past notable for its important, unusual, or interesting events.
Past service of the steam locomotive is significant & historical. Maintaining, operating, sheltering & insuring them is not necessary.
They have been photographed & documented.
History belongs between the pages of a history book!
That is your opinion of what the pollutants level. It is biased by your own desire to see this pile of junk metal & pot iron remain. Nothing scientific!
Your opinion!
I would be great to see how much CASH someone can obtain for the selling of the whistle, bell & gauge sets from this old clunker!
OOOOOO...MY OPINION!!! (And where is your science?)
Insignificant because there are so few - at least in this country. That's not opinion. Compared to how much is emitted by automobiles every day here, it's a pittance.
Go tell the Indians to junk theirs; I'm sure they have more per capita. Oh wait, they actually use them for serious purposes.
You may consider it insignificant because they are few in number. It will be better & even more insignificant when these junkers are cut apart & melted. Better yet, just made inoperable when the the parts are removed.
If people need cash quickly, may I suggest that they visit their local steam locomotive museum & help themselves to the parts.
BTW, I guess you need to scrap ALL the existent historical pieces of every kind that still exist all over the world, because they're just a waste. It's not just old locos that are still being run never mind sitting idle.
Dude your just plain stupid, and your post proves it. What black market exists for steam loco parts, since most steam locos were individual, not like a carb off a 74 Chevy.
@gearedsteam12 There is a market. Some people don't have the place for an entire steam locomotive, but having the whistle, bell, gauges, valve handles, builder's plate, marker lights, number boards or other parts is something they would like to have.
Besides, their removal renders the steam locomotive inoperable & closer to the foundry crucible!
You know you are starting to sound like Communist China in the 60's and 70's. Destroying "relics of the past" to make room for "progress". That's it! you must be part of the many communist movements i have been hearing about.
,,Obama want's these old locomotives destroyed as well because they pollute to much and they represent the white man's dominant world which could offend latino and muslim immigrants !
@david245611 The reason is to inform people that if they need QUICK CASH with NO QUESTIONS ASKED, there are many parts on these relics like gauges, whistles, bells, headlights, marker lights, generators, pop off valves, valve handles, control levers, brass bearings & so many other parts which can obtained for that need.
You can love your steam locomotives from the pages of a book, photograph or film. Nobody will take that from you.
I just want to see the article stripped, scrapped & melted!
Wow, check out the big sounding whistle that little tug has! After years of seeing pics of this one in the train mags, never thought it would have such a whistle like that. Neato....
yah listening to it I agree it does sound like wigwags hell I am suprised someone has not asked what a wigwag is yet LOL.. hell I own one in my collection of signals, I was enjoying that SP 6 chime to much to notice before
Dude, can you please block that cockroach guy? He posts so many hurtful and infuriating comments on railroad equipment.

Should have been cut up and melted down 60 years ago!

No worries, Cockroach, the scrapper will get to work just as soon as he's done with your mom. Just one of her hearty Portuguese breakfasts and a puff of a Sneaky Castro and he'll be on the torch...and off your mom.

I am delighted to know you agree that the steam locomotive has come to the end of the line and should be cut up and melted.
The materials can be used to make new products. Anchor chain, manhole covers and trench plate are great uses for this old junk iron.

Go ahead and cut up the most powerful train engines on the planet. And if this is just for your fun, good luck. Here's my suggestion to you: Hang yourself, stab yourself and run to mommy telling you the bad guys did it, or cry to Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, N&W, Niles Canyon, and whoever else owns any steam engine. But chances of you getting Union Pacific or Southern Pacific to cut up 844, 3985, or 4449 are pretty low. Go live with Saddam Hessein. You'll get what you want. (I know he's dead

I understand that steam locomotives are loaded with materials which can be reused. Recycle the materials.
Children & grandchildren can see what they need to know in a history or engineering book. I don't need to budget, finance or store anything more than that.

Steam locomotives will remain famous & important between the pages of a history book. There is nothing precious about this article of junk iron. Sierra railway did serve, but that is all it was built for. Now that it's service life is over, it is time to cut it apart, scrap it, melt it & make new products with the materials it will yield. It is a truly green effort, recycling itself! Think of it as a noble deed of self sacrifice so other products can be manufactured.

Steam locomotives exhaust more than just heated water. I have no problem with the water exhaust. It is the inefficient burn of fuel to produce heated water or steam. There nothing which can be done to make the steam locomtive junk pile match the efficiency of the diesel electric locomotive.

Nothing wrong with the fuel or burning it. There are better, less polluting ways to burn fuel & obtain power with less pollution the steam locomotive produces.
I have a sense of history. Defined: a past notable for its important, unusual, or interesting events.
Past service of the steam locomotive is significant & historical. Maintaining, operating, sheltering & insuring them is not necessary.
They have been photographed & documented.
History belongs between the pages of a history book!
Cockroach2008 2 years ago
Insignificant level of pollutants. There aren't many, so there is really no net gain stopping those few.
But then, burning wood or coal is really not that terrible, anyway.
But I will agree - the exhaust is partly the actual heating fuel. Not merely water.

Insignificant because there are so few - at least in this country. That's not opinion. Compared to how much is emitted by automobiles every day here, it's a pittance.

You may consider it insignificant because they are few in number. It will be better & even more insignificant when these junkers are cut apart & melted. Better yet, just made inoperable when the the parts are removed.
If people need cash quickly, may I suggest that they visit their local steam locomotive museum & help themselves to the parts.
