SP 2472 Steams Onto Hearst Interchange 4-22-09

[88mroux]

What a awsome beautiful sounding bell!! Do you know what kind it is?

[Lark2207]

the flare up was unburned oil in the firebox.

[deloreanman14]

Whoa @ 0:59 - POOF!!!

[ThomasRivette]

Did you film Robert Dollar 3 steaming onto the interchange?

[gasnebula]

Great video. This was a great day for Bay Area rail fans !

[MuddParts]

Wish we had trains in Eastern NC

[SierraRailway]

Yeah. there's nothing out there. You should join the party here on the west coast, where we have the real action!

[trainkids]

NICE!!! It would've been cool if the 2472 and the 844 doulble headed!!!!

[SierraRailway]

No it wouldn't. A 4-6-2 pacific and a 4-8-4 Northern wouldn't make a great match. It would look like the 2472 was running for its operation right in from to the 844, trying to keep from getting run over. that would be strange.

[trainkids]

I don't know where you came up with that kind of crap, but I think it would be cool alright! Also the if you think a pacific and a northern wouldn't be good match guess what, 2472 and the 4449 acually double headed back in 1992!!!

[SierraRailway]

so what? they actually looked good together! Besides, they're from the same line! UP and SP don't match! take it from my friend Johnny. He HATES UP.

[trainkids]

Well that's your freinds opinion and I'm sticking with my opinion. And BTW UP is my favorite railroad!!!!!

[WildGuy00000]

UP and SP dont match, what about the 4449 and 844 double header two years ago?

[johnsobrero]

How many florescent light bulbs does it take to off set the carbon foot print of one steam train.

[tetongirl]

NICE!

what happened a the 1:00 mark

[ANDREWAMTRAK]

Looks like somebody opened the fuel a little too much.

[crosscompound]

He lost his fire, and relit. The momentary black smoke is just a little un-atomized fuel burning off in the pan. There's a 3% grade leading up to the crossing which isn't too fun for an engine that light on its feet with those big 'ol drivers.

SP 2472 is one of my favorite locomotives. WHat a beauty.
