I agree with what the engineer said about hoping to keep these engines in working order so that other generations can enjoy them. I remember 4501 so fondly because we took her to Chattanooga in 1992 when I was only 9! Now, she's retired and rusting, and it breaks my heart to no end. I heard that they are supposed to restore her for the 100th birthday, but who knows. I sure hope so! Anyways, great video you have here :-)
I'll tell u first hand that it is an amazing machine... however I do understand now why they were happy to replace them... dirty and a hell of a lot of work

I thought I heard the whine of a turbine at 1:12. Didn't seem to be the dynamo or was it?
Great in-cab footage. This is what everyone wants to see.

no that was not the dynamo that was the water pump

Probably the whine of the cold water turbine pump, moving water to the heater.
