[cber8860]

@scorekeepn wherre does it have the batteries to run the lites and for the radio so there isnt a wreck

[garbon2535]

Great, more video please! I'd love to watch the entire engine go by.

[ptakkrolowa]

I am having difficulty finding this train's route on a Portland map. I am curious why I can hear the whistle from our home near SE 82nd and Madison St., between Stark and Division. Could it really carry all the way from Oak's Bottom?

[jelakejr]

This run was down in Oak's Bottom. I think the locomotive normally resides in the old SP roundhouse at the UPRR's Brooklyn Yard. Not sure what you're hearing up along 82nd and Madison.

[gaycowboy31]

I agree with you what an idiot he odviouslly has no appreciation for history ...it sort of makes me wonder what Doyle Mc Cormic would say about putting down his baby so much

[gaycowboy31]

hell yah we all would it ould me a mass pounding there are more of us than him....this is one of the most beautifull locomotives I have had the honer of photographing and rideing and I have photographed alot of steam locos

[gaycowboy31]

well hell I cant type tonight but you get the idea it would be a mass pounding I ment

[emmeressen]

Like aniu15228 said, I'm done wasting my days here. The exterminator is coming so goodbye!

P.S. Im only 49! AHAHAHAHA!

[jelakejr]

I have fixed the issue...thank you for your patience

[emmeressen]

Im talking about fighting with cockroach. i still like this video.

[Trainfanatic192]

Awesome video jelakejr, I feel really sorry for you that this video has so many comments from Cockroach. 5*****!

[jelakejr]

I have fixed the issue...thank you for your patience

[Trainfanatic192]

That previous comment was a reply to Cockroach2008, not the video.

[aniu15228]

jelakejr - The video is nice. I wish you'd kept filming to watch it leave, though. The old engines were built to fly, they look amazing when moving. :) Ignore the pest; he's the one that needs glasses, seeing as mine are up to date and perfect.

[jelakejr]

This was taken on a point-and-shoot digital camera, and the darned thing timed out on me.

[aniu15228]

I am officially done wasting my time.

Anyone have the exterminator's number? There's some intolerant smelly piles on this page...

[aniu15228]

Oh so you're greedy and looking for an excuse to make money?

At least the engine has class.

[emmeressen]

whyy does the label on her pilot say 4443 instead of 4449?

[emmeressen]

Shut up you! If you wanted me to call you else, like your real name, why are useing that as your username?! what do you want me to call you by? You kids these days have the stupidest concepts! And almost never honest either. anyways, you have used swears in this disscusion so beat it,Whippersnapper!

[aniu15228]

My final say to our wonderful spammer: But if you dislike these so much, don't go to museums where they stand proudly and get a life. You're as bad as the church, intolerant to any way except your own. You sad and unlucky soul; at least I don't need to resort to name calling when I talk. I actually learned manners. Hm, do you own one of those wonderful flags?

Here's an idea: stop watching these videos and go start a protest. We'll send you a postcard.

[emmeressen]

Cockrouch, the people who do want to save it do pay. No large amount of money is being taken. Please be curtious of others.

-Emerssen

[gaycowboy31]

this is a trully magnifigant locomotive I have had the honer of riding behind several times

[emmeressen]

Cockrouch2008,you can have ur own opinion but let people have their own as well.

[jurassicjoshua]

ooops i did it again

[jurassicjoshua]

whatever you're such a loser

[LoneSniperSG]

Clearly thousands of people love them, so why bother arguing? 1 < 1000, bizatch.

[RavenBlah]

You're going around posting on every train video on YouTube saying this exactly same statement only with different wording.

You're just trying to pick a fight with a bunch of train-lovers.

Get a job.

[LoneSniperSG]

Same can be said for your brain. It's dumbasses like you that keep screwing the world out of good things.

[clubtcb]

Those old steamengines are moving pieces of history! Would you take a cuttingtorch to a museum?

[Cockroach2008]

These old steam locomotives are junk iron!

History belongs in books and pictures.

They should be parked, parted out, junked down, cut into pieces and melted down. The materials should be used to make new, more efficient products.

Cutting torches are the same. There is no need to preserve them. There are plenty of pictures, diagrams, and written about. There is no need to preserve the article.

The same thing for the steam locomotive. No need to preserve it. Junk it, cut it down!

[aniu15228]

History belongs in history books...

Then why are confederate flags still out in the south? And with that crazy attitude of yours why aren't you in the history books?

At least steam engines don't hurt anyone and instead inspire wonderful feelings. It's the better alternative.

[aniu15228]

Clearly they inspire many more, because it's the public that donates to the preservation of these magnificent pieces of machinery, things that we could never rebuild now that we've sold ourselves out to the rest of the world. They also pollute no more than the average truck. In fact, they're cheaper when it comes to carrying cargo than the trunks - at least they don't tear our roads apart with their weight.

[aniu15228]

Actually, I referring to the fact that preserving and running one steam engine is far less polluting than our sad little trucks. And at least we don't pay taxes to replace the highways afterward for these beautiful machines. You're paying more money for the trucks than the engine.

And at least I don't go around deliberately aggravating other people, you sad soul.

Go buy a flag, it suites you as well as your username.

[darkhound891]

@Cockroach2008 buddy the only one who is sick is you!!! you fucking pest do all of us who like these beautiful peices of american craftmanship a favor stay away from commenting on the videos of steamers you can keep your opinions to yourself just stay away from these vids of steamers ani mean it STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THESE VIDEOS LIKE YOUR NAME APPLIES YOU FUCKING COCKROACH!!!!

[Trainfanatic192]

Here's a thought... junk your car! It's over an hour old, so you shhould do the green thing and scrap it for a newer one. SCHIST BRAIN!!!

[Owner4567]
