If it weren't for BNSF there would be no steam on Class One railroads in this country today. I really wish UP, CSX, and NS would get their panties unbunched....
Whew! What a great shot at 1:27. ...her whistle is almost ghostly. I find it a challenge to NOT think of them as living creatures mourning their fallen comrades and trying their damnedest to show this generation they're worth more than the price of scrap metal.
I was out at a familly members house outside of krum TX when they turned this at Metro Jct and saw the smoke plume a few miles away and heard this sharp stacktalk needless to say I jumped in my truck and raced over to the main and chased it to Ft Worth hell we did no less than 70mph the whole time raceing through those small Tx farm towns it gave me one hell of a chase that day
I wonder when is she going to run again! I can't wait!

When will it be back in Texas? I remember standing at the tracks waiting for her in 2001...would LOVE to see her again.

Isn't that whistle off of CB&Q 4960?

It's a Hancock 3 chime whistle, listen to the one on WMSR #734, very similar.
