Oh man, I just LOVE this video - going into my favorite videos!

Nice !

The blower is so powerful that the steam from the cab is getting sucked into the firebox...WOW! Great Footage!! The best footage I've ever seen of a 15F at mainline speed! You do take some magnificent stuff!!!
-
Absolutely a gem of a recording, thanks so much for uploading.. Pure history and very evocative of real steam in action - love the complete disinterest of punters in the station! Can't believe the wonderful condition of the loco inside and out.One of my favourite videos of all time.... 5 star, can alomost smell the steam and oil! Has the loco been preserved?

Cool ! my dad was a steam driver at Capital Park !

Amazing footage in the dark, memoies of when locos and stokers were up early morning methodically tending their engines and preparing for the day. All fantastic footage!!!*****5

Wow!!! It must feel fantastic in the cab thrasing along like that at high speed - I think for the unexperienced it must be quite terrifying and exhilirating all at once!?

Well done, nice action and editing. Sure wish I could go along for the ride. Interesting in the cab of a steam engine there is always something leaking steam. I thought the 15F were had fired but we don't see the fireman working much.

Thanks. 15Fs were both hand-fired and mechanical. 15F 3094 is mechanical, with a Class 23 tender.
