[EMDSD14R]

@RamblinAround oh great!!..thank you..i'll check it out as soon as u post it!!

[shartne]

what caused it to run a ground or come off the tracks? So now they think it will do it again so they cant afford to insure it?

Cool train

[ONWSCCO]

For example purposes, Locomotive designations such as 4-8-2, refers to the number of wheels and wheel configuration. Following info is excerpt from wikipedia: 4-6-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles (usually in a leading truck), six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles, and two trailing wheels on one axle (usually in a trailing truck). Loved video. Peace & Love

[hunhun23]

Awesome! My stepbrother would love this! He's a train enthusiast!

[RamblinAround]

@hunhun23 Thanks for watching, Maria. I'm sure I'll have some more train vids in the future.

[TheFred1952]

insurance is not the only facter I bet the EPA was not happy about that engine running ether

[RamblinAround]

@TheFred1952 You may be right........thanks for taking a look!

[67mustangreg]

I've been researching steam power and am amazed by the simplicity of their pistons. kinda like a 2 stroke.

[RamblinAround]

@67mustangreg I find it very interesting too....you should go to Jay Leno's Garage and check out his steam cars, if you haven't already. He has a steam powered tractor and a couple other engines as well.

[AddictiveBreedNICK]

Aren't they awesome looking machines

[RamblinAround]

@AddictiveBreedNICK Thanks for taking a look, Nick!

[woownelly]

I want a 36000hp engine in my car. Lol nice vid!

[RamblinAround]

@woownelly Yeah, that would do the job..lol

[RamblinAround]

@loverboy7905 I do a few train vids every now and then. I'm interested in just about anything mechanical. Thanks for watching!

[ScottieDTV]

Trains are so cool!!!

[RamblinAround]

@ScottieDTV Thanks for watching, my friend!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

3600 hp ain't so bad but a tractor trailer has a better hp to weight ratio :p

[RamblinAround]

@FatGuyWithAKatana I wonder what the torque is on that beast, I'll bet it's pretty crazy.

[dirtbike51000]

Never knew they measured hp on steam trains!

[RamblinAround]

@dirtbike51000 I don't know how important it is to know, but it is interesting. Thanks for watching!

[GeneralGHustler]

wow 3600 horsepower imagine if your car or truck had that lol

[RamblinAround]

@GeneralGHustler I think that engine would be a little hard to stuff under the hood of my truck though...lol The way things are going, we'll probably see a 3600 HP street car at some point.

[GeneralGHustler]

@RamblinAround LOl well just cut a hole in your hood lol and let it stick out lol

[samspace81]

very cool! Never seen old trains up close like this. We have a train car in Terrell, Texas that use to be a Bordello in the 1800s it was later learned after the city bought it. Mabye I should tour it too :)

[RamblinAround]

@samspace81 Terrell Texas...the home of Jaime Foxx. A bordello car..now that sounds interesting.

[rivercrestcolts55]

Gotta love the Frisco!

[RamblinAround]

@rivercrestcolts55 Thanks for watching!

[Vorahk3985]

This is a famous locomotive. I think that it might be the most well known 4-8-2 locomotive in the USA today...

[RamblinAround]

@Vorahk3985 Thanks for taking a look at it! Hope you found it interesting.

[Vorahk3985]

@RamblinAround I do. BTW I can't wait to see #2156!

[rap4trains]

Jeff, I have some video of 1522 in action on it's run to Hannibal a few years ago. I was driving 50 MPH and could hardly keep up. That thing can really fly. You're welcome to it. It'll take some editing but you could post it here on your channel.

Let me know.

[RamblinAround]

@rap4trains That sounds pretty cool, I appreciate that. Not sure how you'd get the footage to me. You could upload it to your channel privately, then give me the link and I could copy it.

[Bevoin1970]

Always great to see old iron with charisma being kept alive for future young eyes to gaze over.

It always makes me say "Wow" when your actually stood next to these massive machines, makes you realise just how big and heavy looking they are.

Thanks for showing us around. :-)

[RamblinAround]

@Bevoin1970 I'm glad there are places like this, that are preserving history for future generations. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!

[koioo2]

[RamblinAround]

@koioo2 It is a pretty massive locomotive...thanks for taking a look at it!

[dannyjn]
