Santa Fe 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive #3751 High Speed Pass

This is an unedited video shot in 1080p of the AT&SF Steam Locomotive 3751 doing a high speed pass. It was taken on May 2, 2010, at the Carlsbad, CA, Poinsettia Station.
My six year old son is with me and you can hear me in the video telling him to keep low as the train is about to steam through the station at 60mph. My wife and daughter are on board in the full dome car (4th car from the end). We rode the train that day from Downtown San Diego to Oceanside, California.
A Canon 7D with a Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens was used to take the video.

I can't believe it's almost been a year since I shot this video! Does anybody know when she is coming back to San Diego County?

Thanks for all of the nice compliments on the video!

@TheSteelersrock1010 Union Pacific and other railroads had steam locomotives that could run 120 m.p.h. England's A4 "Mallard" had the official top speed record of 126 m.p.h., however there have been unofficial speeds here in the U.S. that are faster :-)

This one great Baldwin Steamer and know about this one, I was a Fireman and Engineer on her from 1947 to 1950. I remember when the conversion was made to run on Coal Oil. One great memory.
