[hawleywe]

fantastic!!! Love the song choice too! Glen Miller is timeless

[inmate1577]

Stunning!

[Dinosorable]

When the engines blew their whistles, it looked like they were talking to each other.

[deloreanman14]

Very well put together!! Thumbs up and favorited!

[Jared1452]

Love the 40's style music, it fits steam trains well :)!

[ThomasRivette]

Its hard to beleive this happend just a year ago.

[Jemalacane]

I would love to see the Santa Fe 3751 and Union Pacific 844 doubleheaded together.

[ThomasRivette]

@Jemalacane Don't forget 4449, that way we'll see 3 northerns together!! =D

[Dinosorable]

@Jemalacane Same with Milwaukee Road 261, and Southern Pacific 4449.

[tinman3804]

That was AWSOME!!!!

[ThomasRivette]

And that my friends is exactly why my Playlist is appropreately named "Extreme Steam 2009"

[ThomasRivette]

Its a Shame that Pentrex didn't

cover this : (

[SierraRailway]

You can see the same scene from a different view in "Chasing the Union Pacific 844 steam locomotive" at 4:30.

[ThomasRivette]

2472 looks taller than 844 o_O

[adfgfds]

I was on top recording. I'll send a video reply :)

[ThomasRivette]

One of the best videos on youtube.

[HorsegirlJenny]

VERY nice! I love the shot at 1:40. Great video....

[ThomasRivette]

You gotta love these chicks.

[ThomasRivette]

You should add this video to the Rolling Thunder in the Canyon DVD as a bonus feature.

[railfan101]

This is an AWESOME line up of locomotives! Nice music btw.

[divanola]

I miss the Greyhound paints cheme...she looks like she should be hauling a freight train

[SierraRailway]

With this scheme, the 844 looks more like a passenger locomotive than she did in the Greyhound scheme. I still like the Greyhound scheme though.

[divanola]

either way she is a stunning beauty!

[ThomasRivette]

If she were grey, she wouldn't match 2472 and the 3, as they are black too.

I do want to see her in grey though.

[SierraRailway]

I know. My dad and I like her in the greyhound scheme. Black is too basic for a big steamer like her, though my friend Johnny HATES UP and the greyhound scheme.

[tetongirl]

I live in Florida... be back in CA in Dec. to ride the Train of Lights.

[tetongirl]

Did you take any video of SP2472 on Memorial weekend? If you did, please share it. .

[jfilmsinc]

Hi tetongirl, we shot all day yesterday. I will post today. By the way. Where were you? Don

[gantondale]

Excellent! Great vid. 844 is awesome.

[trainboy94]

good use of Tuxedo Junction, I filmed the 844 when she came into Roseville from Stockton, and when she left for Oroville

[jfilmsinc]

Thanks trainboy. I've found after doing my first train DVD (see preview of new SP 2472) that people hate music or love it. The 2472 DVD had sections of both. There's a segment where the engine has stopped on a curve with a heavy load. The wheels slip every time the engineer tries to start up. We happened to have a HD camera mounted right behind the drivers. It's spectacular watching those drivers slip. I wouldn't think of using music in that section of the video. Again, thanks Don

[scorekeepn]

Can't wait to catch 844 on the Keddie Wye this weekend :)

[battleshipiowa]

How come you didn't show ACE getting in front of your camera? ;-)

[daveinthepoint]

Great video! Captures in three minutes the 45 minutes 844 was there. UP was very cooperative setting up several photo ops for us.

The period music fits the steam era and fills in where there would only have been wind blowing. The whistles on these locos sound great!

[tetongirl]

Awesome!!

[train9899]

If I wanted to listen to music, I would have turned on my radio. What a shame that the historic sounds are ruined with this noise. Thankfully, they stopped with the looney tunes in time to hear whistles!

[jfilmsinc]

This is a long, long shot. All you would have heard was wind. There was no engine sound at all from that distance. This would be very boring to watch with wind sound for over a minute of the video.

[fabforrest]

tuxedo junction is no "looney tunes." an appropriate choice to cover the wind sounds. nice.

[Jazzyhorn111]

@train9899 Hey wake up you can hear other engines on other videos but his one is awsome,Do you recognize the song as good classy music, or do you always shoot you dumb mouth off before engaging yourbrain.

I recognize this song and I am 53. How old are you. If you are a WW2 vet then thank you for you service to this couyntry and I apolgize for calling you an ________________?
