IAIS Chinese QJ Freight in Davenport, IA

[dwkcamman611]

Love it!!!

[arkansastrash320]

Woner why they were going so slow through there?Maybe cause they were in town or waiting on another train up ahead to clear a siding?Very nice video...

[urs6audi95]

@arkansastrash320 Its because the speed limit is 10 mph, going across the government bridge.

[Vermont204]

LOL, the guy at 5:30

[PereMarquette1223]

Of all things why did Iowa Interstate pick Chinese Steam and not American Steam? Those whistles are butt ugly and the stokers need to learn how to stoke a fire right. Too much smoke.

[varacnahrim]

y dont they use diesle or how ever u spell it those engines pollute the enviroment

[Jemalacane]

This is amazing. You did such a wonderful job. Thank you for the upload.

[pdxsteam]

wow the drivers that ran the gates sure missed a great sight haha

[UnionPacificBNSF]

Just think they still use them in China in regular service.

[jkubajakiii]

You know, if it weren't for the ACF covered hoppers and ADM tank cars, this train would look like it just jumped out of the early 50's!

By the way, I know the CRI&P has Mountains and Northern on its steam roster, but does it have Santa Fe types as well?

[Cyclist051]

Besides the true human craziness of scramming your car in front fo that trian, who wouldn't want to be the lead car at the crossing? get to be there to watch this amazing pair of locomotives roll through.

[caracolillo79]

wow

[deloreanman14]

I love how people just take the crossing lights as a suggestion. That one car just FLEW through there.

[IamanOregonBeaver]

When I lived in Oregon we used alot of steam for freight too. Now that I live here, I 'm glad to see the trend continuing....

[BNSFbeagrett9647]

Wow!

[Trainbrain1949]

Nice video. Too bad that woman with the camera wasn't paying attention where she was. Some people live in their own world and don't somebody else with a camera!!

[2GUNBOY]

I suppose she thought I was only taking photos with my camera; I took the photo from the beginning with a different camera. You were right, though. She was not paying attention. I guess she does not realize that some of us are trying to record history, and do not want people dancing around in front the camera.

At least she did not do that as the QJ's approached the crossing. Thanks for the comment!

[trainboi21]

nice train !!

= D

[hella188]

it's the new fad, american railroads buy chinese steam! but its about time to see some of these trains being used for what they were meant for, freight.

[gtafan2006]

do they still use steam on the iowa interstate cause if they do im so gonna try to get video of them on the way to davenport when i go in june.

[2GUNBOY]

These are only used on special trains.

[bitterman112]

Are you freakin kidding me? 2 steam engines hauling long manifest trains? Jesus lol!!!! I can't imagine seeing these belching beasts pulling long coal drags or stack trains at highballing speeds!!!!! So what now? Steam engines are now competing to give today's diesels a run for there money?!!!!! GOSH!!!!

[FlyBikes089]

At 5:33, what up with guy stand by tanker there?

And, great video!

[BNSFbeagrett9647]

[George21T]

Lock at the fucking guy with the lawn-mower!!!He just looked away!?

[arkansastrash320]

I am just guessing but i am going to say those QJs would have maybe 4000 horse power or more each.Anyone who has the real power please i would like to know?The challenger was 4-6-6-4 and it had 5,200 horse power thats what i am using to make my guess Qjs are 2-10-2s big nice engines i love them..I have the dvd china steam too..

[xspfdhardcorekid417x]

hw about the guy jumping on the tank car, and off of the oter side..

[HighIronofWisconsin]

Holy s***! That is INSANE! INSANELY AWESOME! What is wrong with those people in the first few cars that crossed the tracks? Why did they not look down, see a steam locomotive coming, rub their eyes, and say "I gotta stop and see this!"?

[thingstodoat]

probably all that smoke

[WhyAyeMann]

cuz to them its just a "choo choo" B(

[mrfss]

I am amazed that the autos run the red lights, even though the train is a distance off, yet.

[2GUNBOY]

The second guy didn't even slow down to look.

[OSCALETRAINGUY]

All I can say is WOW!!!! Steam haulled revenue freight in 2008.

[SR722]

exactly! not having a crummy on the end of a freight train is like having spaghetti without the meatballs.
