The N&W also built a coal fired turbine -- the Jawn Henry that was awesome and still an operational failure. Way to complicated and prone to mechanical breakdowns as an electrical generator of motive power. If you burn coal, make it a rod engine.

I find nothing wrong or disresectful of cremation. Come see me; visit me while I'm alive. When I'm dead, return my ashes to the earth from which I came. My spirit will be long gone and moving on by then.

This is what happens when a caller doens't give good info to dispatch. The FD doesn't know if it's a simple fracture or a major fire. So if you do give a 911 cal, be specific.

I'm 60 and still dig this. The 60's really were my years and still, " I THINK I'M GOIN' BACK."

Stupid people will kill themselves and only they themselves are to blame

SHE IS-----"GEORGY GIRL"-----gotta love her

My God this story is as old as wheels.I've seen three other generations go this same route. Just last week we buried my best friends grandson. 16 yrs old he was thrown from a flipping street racer.. Comon kids. We can do this better and safer.

I too have followed LB when I can find her. You have to admire her grace, strength, and courage to be the free spirit that she is. Someone who makes thisworld so special.

Congrats about the speed record. Now the truth is that these trains will never come close to being self supporting. They require huge gov't subsidies just to run. And route logistics are a huge economical nightmare. But it makes for a good show--as long as there are tax dollars to pay the way.

The T-1 was the cutting edge of the latest at the time development. Given more time and a chance to work out the bugs, we might still have seen steam working along side diesels today.

As incredible as they were, they did push all the limits. Fact is the UP wanted diesels instead of the last five BB's. We would all love to see one roll again, but weight and size as well as track limits spell it out that they will never be seen again in steam. However steam might have evolve...

Those hoe-rams can break any material known to man. I run them and it's amazing how well they break massive concrete structures. Also, as a young boy, I watched that bridge being built. So strange to witness it's end.

This was from Ampix way back like 20 years ago.

Being a crane operator myself, it's like being a pilot. Many hours of boredom punctuated by seconds of sheer terror. You can never take any of it for granted. Just when you think it's in the bag and all that, the bitch will eat you.

When snow has sat for a few days, it gets as hard as concrete.

This is the REASON THERE WAS ALWAYS BEFORE a brakeman and a caboose. In the interest of profit, the railroads have eliminated all that. Less eyes watching, more chance for things to go wrong. How much was saved compared to an engine truck coming apart and causing a wreck worth millions in dama...

What you seem to miss is that Mexico before Villa was so brutal.. The vast ranches were run like gulags. And many of these ranches were owned by W. R. Hearst who own vast tracts of Mexico that were sold cheap to him by the corrupt gov't in Mexico.

It's great that someone has posted some old Ampix vids which are still among the best amp vids around. Rose is a star.

darling might you be into bondage?

Jackie, you are incredible precious and beautiful. Just seeing you on vid fills the heart with joy. You fill this sailor's dreams.

Flaco is a legend on his own. American music would so be enhanced with this music.

I heard this when I was a kid and I'm now 60. Talk about lasting.

Just hearing this is like watching Jesus bleed on the cross.

Me too. A dark quiet nite in the desert away from all mankind. A cold beer, a cigar, and nothin or no one else. Just to get lost in my mind.

This is a GREAT video. Even my non rail fan friends and my girlfriend enjoyed it. I too am a fan of UP Steam. Oh to be able to time machine back to those days!! At Fairplex in LA county, we have Big Boy 4014 and the only surviving 4-12-2, No. 9000. These great engines were condemed before t...

The fucking news media again showed their contempt for true as well as decency.

Cass was a power to be reconned with. Given more time, she would have set a new standard. She was a songbird like the 747 is an airplane. We so miss you Cass.

That NO police cheif is a fraud. His officers participated in looting. So why does he think he can violate our rights/

The Constitution and Bill of Rights are being used to wipe their ass. THERE IS A LAW THAT THE MILITARY CANNOT DO SEARCH AND DESTROY TACTICS IN AMERICA ON US CITIZENS. It seems that Obama has more concerned about the rights of terrorists than US citizens at home.

Skip. Your vids are just great. I am jealous that I'm not out there chasing these locos with you. You know, now is the time for us to return to coal fire locos and get away from oil. They were in a renaisance in the 40s. They should return to the rails.

I actually rememeber seeing these run in and out of the southland about 30 years ago. Rumors I heard why they were shut down is that one, the diesels engines themselves were ultra stressed out and failure was common. Also that the trucks for some reason were hard on rail curves.

Steam would surly have a place in these days. Especially since they could burn coal and indeed I was told by the fireman of Santa Fe 3751, that that engine could run on reclaimed oil or better yet RAW CRUDE OIL. right off the boat no need for refining. Steam was abandoned just as it was going i...

They fucked this guy. Just shows what happens when you throw the Consttution into the crapper. What will be called an illegal weapon next? A framing hammer?

Ok a comment from someone older. The Beatles are what music are all about. They are the greatest band ever, and all others will be measured against them. I was lucky enough to be around when they first came around. Loveed them in the 0s and will always be an ardent fan.

Our pegleg Queen. Where did you go to.

This is what happens when buerucrats take over. They have no vision and no feeling much less any common sense.

This old favorite really comes across so wonderful with Cooder. I need to go to some old beer joint, have a dozen cold olds and cry into each and every empty bottle

He wasn't a hollywood pretty boy yeta strong and sincere presense. And a force in the Wild Bunch and as Dillinger.
