I'm going to have to say, that it sounds like Cockroach was probably turned away from being able to ride on an excursion because of his disheveled appearance, horrible body odor, and unseemly personality. this would equate out to why he has such a disdain for this steam loco, as I have not really seen his comments on other videos. Here's an idea BOY, take a shower, get a haircut, take some of your recreational drugs that do make you artificially happy, then take a ride on a steamer.
Have you heard of the scrap yard workers dancing around a steam locomotive with flaming torches and itching to get cutting on it because it was being junked?
It happened and the people partied as it happened.
I am not worried about a thing. I have no fears of cutting up the remaining steam locomotives. There time has long past to scrap them all. Some escaped, but now they are big targets because they stand out as survivors.
They are expensive and labor intensive to maintain, operate, store and insure. As the economy gets tighter, the funds to preserve these wrecks becomes less and less.
It is just a short amount of time before they start rolling into the scrap yard for the final coup de gras!
Incorrect, sir! The Victor Vanguard ST5695FC Gas Axe is a great tool for cutting up to 14" of solid steel. Then there is my Victor Bulldog HC1160C and HC1161C torches when fitted with a Type 1 , 12-HWN Harris style tip and a cutting oxygen PSIG 45/55 can really rip up some railroad iron. It works great on steam locomotive tenders! It will take the side off a tender in about an hour!
So you are correct, they are toys and amusements to cut up and dismember steam locomotives which are junk toys!
First off the one in Austin is her sister 774 that one is her twin except th eone in tx has a smaller tender in water capacity.but they are twins. Now for the asshole who hates old things , shut the hell up go away if you like her or us then dont watch the video stupi!!!!!!!! go find another ideo to watch. I send my money to Lasta ever year to help keep her running (notice I said my money pinhead.
now there is a rumer that another one of these may be restored to run another sister engine to this one the one sitting in San Antonio at Sunset Station I sure hope so...I was in Austin that year the tornado went through and turned over the tender on the ASTA engine
It just hit me you are correct I am wrong 774 is in Grapevine TX not Austin my bad. We at Lasta borrowed a part from the Asta guys some time ago. The one in Grapevine is supposed to be restored soon so I hear.
well have you heard about San Antonios engine possibly being restored too the one at the amtrak station there ...I also remember when the one came to Grapevine Tx I was there when they deliverd it to them it was in pretty sad shape they butcherd it when they moved it from Victoria ....I was on the LASTA trip a few years ago when we died on Rich Mountain on the KCS some dame fool gave us bad fuel in Heavner we has to shut the egine down in a real hurry to save the boiler so I heard sad day
Besides, neither the defense or prosecuting attorney would allow anyone with a bias to be seated on the jury.
A scrap yard operator is just that! We look for the metal to be reused.
Have you found any chains wrapped around a single rail on the 4449 mainline? It only takes about 8 to 10 wraps of 2" chain link. On a curve track makes greater interest. A wheel climb at a fair speed and 4449 will be in the junk yard where it belongs!
and i take it this roach would be just as gleeful if there had been injuries or loss of life. Also this dimwit doesn't have a scrap yard, he is just an internet hater.
We lost too many steam locomotives you dumbass! Don't junk the steam locomotive, it's tender or caboose. Without steam locomotives, our lives would be boring, WW3 would begin, and millions of people would commit suicide. Injuries and loss of IS Cockroach2008's plan!
We have not junked out & scrapped nearly enough steam locomotives! Junk all the remaining steam locomotives.
Our lives are fine without steam locomotives. WW3 would not begin & perhaps we would be better off if all steam locomotive fanatics would commit suicide.
Junking, scrapping, cutting apart & sending steam locomotives to foundry melt to make materials for new products is my plan!
Right on, Thomas, you figured it out & I am glad to have you join me in this noble campaign!
i'll never join you you basterd! I didn't even say I wanted to be part of your campaign. If you can't read, after I called you a dumbass, I said, DON'T junk the steam locomotive, it's tender or caboose.
You obviously don't know what I'm saying to you. I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU! You don't have a scrap yard. Your just a four year old that doesn't understand anything, everyone including me hates you. Go fuking live with it!
@AlcoholicSemenStain Thank you for the VERY FLATTERING compliment! I sincerely appreciate it!
I am delighted that you agree the steam locomotive should be graffiti paint covered, stripped of it's parts, junked out, scrapped, cut apart & sent to the foundry in pieces for melting into new useful products!
Let's all hope that this rumor dies in bankruptcy and the locomotive is cut up in a scrap yard, cut up, awaiting to be hauled to the foundry to be melted.
so ignorant...its called preserving a part of history that made our country great...howd u like it if I said "Look another F59! Another Junker, ready for the torch, its dead and useless, cut it up!"
The past is preserved for you in the pages of a history book. I have no problem disposing of old articles and using the materials to make new items.
If you do, I would guess your garage is full of stuff and you park your personal transportation in the street or driveway. Maybe you understand it. Many do not!
I have no problem cutting apart a steam locomotive or an F59. When they have come to the end of their service life, or no longer economically practical to operate, cut it up and melt it!
see heres the problem: a history book can only tell you so much. You cant reach out and touch it, experience it, in real life. You can comprehend the power behind something life this in real life, not in the dusty pages of a stuffy book. I do hang onto things that are important, not crap. FYI my garage is clean and I can park my car in there. I do have a problem destroying either. Its called preservation.
If its not economically practical to operate, sell it to a private owner for them to operate if they please. People operate locomotives like this because they are preserving our treasured past for generations to come.
. 90% of all steam operations in our country are volunteer-based. Those people(including me) are doing what they're doing for a reason.
And if we go by your mentality we should destroy any relics we have from WWI, WWII the Civil War, anything from railroads or the airline industry or the road services thats not economically viable should be destroyed, genius...
No doubt you are doing what you do for a reason. Everything is done for a reason.
You are correct! All of that old relic and garbage which is not self supporting from it's own revenue is in need of junking, scrapping, disposal and replacement with a new article.
I thank you because like you have observed, it is genius! Thank you for the observation and very kind words.
People who operate steam locomotives are feeding their own ego at other people's expense.
Fools line up and give them their money. Fine with me!
I don't give them any of mine and I campaign my government officials not to give any tax dollars to support their ego feed folly! The benefit is for so few people for nothing more than their egos!
You want them, you preserve them! I will not purchase any excursion, exhibition, donate or recommend anyone do so!
holy crap you are the most arrogant bastard I've talked to. I meant 90%. We dont operate them for our own ego, we do it because we a preserving an intergral part of our countrys past. We dont fool people, they line up willingly, some of them are even free. These things were built to last. UP 844 outlasted its deisel counterpart. People need to understand what these things do, and no book can fully explain that, any author and historian and sane person will agree!
toys and amusements!? How about windows into our countrys great past! Days when men were men, people earned an honest living and didnt sit around on their fat asses living off welfare. Days when hard work was rewarded with wages that payed the bills and fed the family. Days when kids dreamed of being railroaders or ship captains or ironworkers, not rappers or gangstas or porn stars.
All that is now a memory which belongs in the pages of a history book. You can spend your life wishing for the past. Truth is, you can never go back! I look forward to the future and new products.
I look forward to the removal of all these old junkers and clunkers, melting the materials down and making new articles with them.
Steam locomotives iron is perfect metal for manhole covers, anchor chain, traffic light standards, construction rebar, fishing sinkers and elevator counter weights!
I was on that steamer when it died on us going south at Rich mountain Arkansas and we had to leave it in the sideing dead what a sad day that was going the rest of the way into New Orleans behind diesel

The steam locomotive is not worth saving, preservation or any more money spent on it than already has been on this transportation machine.
It is a clunker which missed it's date with the scrapper's torch 60 years ago.
Time ot tow it in to the scrap yard and give it the exclusive blue flame and cutting oxygen treatment.
It would look good melting down in the crucible of a blast furnace!
Good bye steam locomotives, forever!

Glad to hear about the wreck on Rich Mountain. Glad to hear that the locomotive was delivered in such bad shape that it was virtually wrecked.
I hope they find it so economically impractical to restore they end up junking this garbage.
Then send it over to me where I will cut it apart in about 4 days. On the 5th day, the pieces are off to the foundry for melting.
