Do you know how fast the top speed of this beautiful thing?

[SkipW]

@s2k26 easily over a 100 mph

[sgtredbluered]

Some great pacin', man.

[SkipW]

@sgtredbluered nothing but the best for my viewers & Thanks for the kind comments!

[Henryfan3]

skip how close does she get to the east coast

[SkipW]

@Henryfan3 St. Louis, MO and Little Rock, Ark

[308RoadReady]

@SkipW she was built to maintain over 90 mph hour but can go over 120 if they pushed her

I wish they'd come into Michigan, but that is CSX territory. There are no leftover

B & O steamers that I know of, and certainly none as fast as the 844 or powerful as the 3985. Sometime I'll have to go out to Cheyenne and see these things in action.

Great Video!

Excellent video!... I like it! ...

[ervans]

Amazing video, you are the best at pacing

[nakayle]

@RailwaySeriesKB I don't think the diesel is furnishing any power- it's just there to take over in case the steamer breaks down which is quite possible with such an old machine.

[Lil2010Diva]

i think i saw dat train^-^

[foroke1]

You going to Kansas City Skip?

[Dinosorable]

She was going fast!
