really interesting to see an american santa special... thank you , though like ours is there not something sad about a huge beautiful creature like that chugging along at 20mph just to raise funds, reminds me of a polar bear or tiger in an old style zoo insanely paceing back and forth in hopless captivity.
although it's short, this video still gives me chill bumps. that says a lot. i'm hard to impress. something about watching these old engines, in all their glory, makes me sad. their moaning, almost mysterious and melancholy whistles, and powerful chug, chug, chug of their powerful steam pistons make me long for an earlier time. i still remember when my dad used to take me to the station in dequincy, la. in the mid-fifties as they were phasing out steam. even at that young age, i preferred steam.
Thanks for the vids ervans, that's a really nice engine. Sadly today in Ireland there are few freight trains if any at all, I would spend my lunch break at school watching the Guinness train go past when I was 5 years old.
i love looking at trains and riding them, but i am sort of scred of them=S I live neer a railroad. This trian looks cool, and the horn sounds sort of creppy to me:P
Thanks, I was thinking the same thing the other day. A lot of people must watch them more than once, because the two of them get 4 to 6 k of views a day. It was a really great thing to hear and see.
this isnt high quality lol

I bet the folks in the cars that pulled up to the crossing weren't aware of what they were about to see pass by. "What th...did you see that, Maude?"
