If i EVER win the lottery I will restore the 3416 or 3424 (class sisters to the 3415) and make sure they go at least main line speed every so often. (hey a boy can dream, right?)
From an old retired ATSF Locomotive Engineer that use to throttle jerk Baldwin 2-6-2s and 4-8-4s 1948 to 1949 then along come the Diesels until 1974. This is one great looking Baldwin 4-6-2. Great video of great memories :-)
You Bet, A "family reunion" like that is always great ! It's a shame however that BNSF "derailed" 3751's journey east this summer. No tellin' when she will get out now.
@trains365 - Don't knock BNSF. If they decide not to allow steam on their tracks at all, a large number of west coast steamers will be marooned with nowhere to go, among them 4449 and 3751. Honestly, we should be kissing their feet because you know as well as I do that UP will never relent on their 'no foreign steam' policy.

I hope this locomotive someday gets the chance to stomp around on a class 1 run. With 79 inch drivers, that's what she's designed for!

@MrCraig1930 Thanks! I love those ATSF Baldwin 2-6-2's! In fact, my favorite locomotive is one of those!

@atsf3415dbr I have picture of one on my channel I use to operate in 1948. It's now a Museum piece in Wellington, Kansas.

Sure would be nice to see her meet up with Santa Fe 4-8-4 2926 from Albuquerque some day!

@trains365 Sure would! It'd be even nicer if she could meet up with 2926 and 3751 at the same time!

@Chadr7850 They go up to 15 with her. 5 is their fastest speed with the diesel, though.
