  • Coolio! Still gotta see 40 running, both times I've gone it's been 2198. BTW, how much was a cab-ride?

  • @indie1361 $45 last I checked. Gotta be 18+.

  • EXCELLENT!!!

  • @dwkcamman611 I'm glad you like it.

  • Great video of 40. Any chance of future videos from the 1974 Railfan Weekend with both 1533 & 40 running? Or even any videos of the 1533 in operation?

  • @CNJDave I don't have anything like that. I wasn't born yet!

  • @uratoolbag Its the cylinder saddle drain. Absolutely nothing wrong there, its doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

  • whats with the constant blowing of steam on the firemans side by the cylinders? dosnt seem right to me

  • Thanks for the info, the steamer I run sometimes primes so I just thought I 'd ask..thanks.

  • @andrewbnsf 40's timing is not out as much as you think. The locomotive is hooked up very high which in layman's terms means the valve motion is very short. Any lost motion in the valve gear is thereby accentuated. This way of running, contrary to popular belief, is sometimes ideal to achieve higher speeds with low steam usage. And yes, 40 was priming a bit. This was shot at a point just shy of boilerwash. Also, that particular day the TDS levels were on the high side which resulted in priming.

  • Great shots as always! Gotta love 40

  • @Engineer5344 Actually no, they were NOT behind schedule. To maintain the rediculous hour-schedule they have to run trackspeed, which is 20 mph.
