  • nice of you to keep up with the train, i love the old whistles on the train!!

    thanks for the upload.

    do you know how many of these Highballs are still running, Big Boys too??

  • @ricemolson around the western USA its just SP 4449 in Portland OR, SF3751 in Los Angeles, CA area, UP3985 & UP844 in Cheyenne, WY for operating mainline steam

  • Incredibly smooth camera work! Do you have a gyro mount, or just nerves of steel?

    

  • @SteamCrane gyros cost more than my car, but i shot machine guns from moving jeeps in the army like rat patrol cross training

  • The question of the diesel locomotive is for dymanic braking, to ease wear and tear on the brakes of the steam engine and if the steam engine breaks down the diesel can pull it out from where it's from. This is what the engineer told me when it was here in El Paso last month. Makes a lot of sense. Nice video! Awesome to see how fast it really can go! Love it!

  • @AJuarez764 Thunder on the Rails & the ground shakes if your standing near a crossing at these speeds. Good to hear you saw it in El Paso, TX that was a rare stop over !

  • holy shit that thing is fast! for a steam locomotive, i never though it still packed a punch

  • Steam engines forever!

    If Obama could, he'd do away with Western(WHITE) technology altogether just like he did with NASA..

    We need to get that anti-American communist out of the White House in November. I can't wait.

  • Fantastic!

  • thats awesome!.. i wish a steam engine would come flying by south florida!

  • fly baby fly.

  • @ricemolson nope no big boys. Just this Northern and a challenger.
