3751 Steam Locomotive Excursion

[pianomanmaestro]

Does this steam loco still run??

[Dinosorable]

@pianomanmaestro Yes it does. People are still filming her, running.

[jedi725]

And 1522's legacy lives on as the bell on 3751 sounds like 1522's bell

[saabnut98]

not very enviromently friendly are thry???

[southern4501isawesom]

@saabnut98 who gives a crap? and they polute less then you enviroMENTAList's prius so quit whining.

[360Nomad]

@saabnut98 More enviormental than any car.

[360Nomad]

@saabnut98 Besides, these behemoths are a part of our history. We should admire that our ancestors were able to construct these iron horses without all the technological wonders we have to aid us now.

[foroke1]

@saabnut98 What comes out of that locomotive is about 90% water vapor. What comes out of a car is pure carbon.

[CSX6000]

Awesome!

[JSimp140]

slightly unfortunate that the passengers got standard amfleets with no amtrak dome, but i guess that's better than nothing. i'd love to see it lead a surfliner in service for kicks.

[waterglass016]

Question, is the steam shooting from the top just access steam being vented from the boiler in the beggining of the video?

[Robkat3751]

@waterglass016 this is the safety valve venting excess pressure.

Wish I had been born 30 years earlier to see these works of art passing my house every day.

[spike2382]

i would love to see the day when these magnificent pieces of american history will run the rails again

[aitch3]

awesome.

[Guser223]

So, is there a reason why this train needs the Amtrak P42DC?

[ConrailJon]

@Guser223 The P42 provides power to the passenger cars, and is there as protection power in case 3751 encountered a problem.

[Guser223]

@ConrailJon ok

[Capecodpilot13]

Aw yeah. Love seeing that black smoke billow out of the stack.

[nxtvctm]

I think the diesels and the electrics lack the aura and soul of these steam locos

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

You couldn't be more right.

[codsixrules]

@nxtvctm couldn't agree more

[CoasterFan2105]

@nxtvctm Well put

[ThomasRivette]

She has a Beautiful sounding Bell and exaust.

[85mariafer]

didn't this engine visit the grand canyon railway once?

[RichardSwayne]

Yes

[OakViewFilms]

Yeah in the 1990s

[steved0689]
