Looked it up, and the "Blue Goose" was a streamlined 3460 class 4-6-4 hudson, and the 3461 set a world record for a steam engine with a 2227 mile run from LA to Chicago without maintence (only fuel). It's train was a fast mail express.
Without Otto Perry there would be a huge hole in the railroad history files.....nice job on this one.....................Cheers.......El Fat Boy Texcino
Do the producers insert steam and diesel sound effects? For the longest time, I though these were the actual sounds, but then I said Hmmmm.... why do such old videos have such clear sound? Why do they have sound at all?
People took along a reel to reel tape recorder when filming back then. The sound is in fact dubbed now in but that was the only way to have sound and picture.

Didn't anybody film SAnta Fe's Blue Goose. ? That was a high speed passenger locomotive from what I hear.
