Sounds like the diesel has the dynamic brakes on to stress the 3985
sounds great!

Talk about some articulated stack talk! Love it!
-
Somehow it seems wrong to decorate that engine... like an insult to its masculinity or something.
-
@SkipW how long does it take to heat up the boiler to get under way??
-
This is one of my favorite vids ever of this engine. Best stacktalk I can recall hearing on a YouTube vid. :)

Skip, your the BEST. Thanks for what your doing here. Many of us just can't get out there as often as we'd like and your vids are so well done it's almost, well, maybe not almost, but sort of like getting to be there with her. The sound is excellent too. Steve sure does a superb job keepin' her up. He's the greatest RR Mechanic living. Keep it up Boys! We all need you and your passion.

@trainfart - thanks friends, for the kind comments, as it is the encouragement to go out and get another one as long as the UP steam crew is willing to light UP her fire!

this wasnt its VERY first run. A few days before they fired it off and tested it back and forth on P2 of the depot if i recall the right track

@jointlinerailfan - true, that was a test with out a Load for a couple of hours & they called this the Lynn Nystrom Special with a Full Load, and about 6 runs on the Cheyenne strech that day from 8-5, for a full day of steaming! = a sucessfull breakin run. As the plan was for Laramie this day but the wye was out of service. And the 2nd option that day was to do a speer run. but lets just say a malfunction at the junction prevented that function so this to pass for her road test unfortunatly
