  • I hope we can keep these engines running but there is a ned something in the est steamtown railfans being railfans they call it a waist of money thre is still a feeling there shold be trolley musseuems but steamfans will have to take a back seat doneatons are coming forthe PM 1225 but will they be able toget the RR to permit triss and the longer ones they runnare diesle powered and uts te ssteam instutue could htee be enought corperate support to cover other then boiler the need for coaches

  • at 3:41 is that at or near Mukilteo or Picnic Point beach?

  • Was this a executive train or did they actually pull regular people?

  • having the two powerful steam engines backward seems demeaning, to me.

  • @traincowboy I wouldn't think that the make has much to do with it. If each locomotive operates well on it's own, then experienced crews will be able to coordinate with each other for smooth operation. Seam engines have a neutral position on the "Johnson bar". If you don't need steam, you just keep a low fire going so you can b ready to pull if you need to.

  • When double heading two steam locomotives that are different makes how do you get the engines to work smoothly together. Also when the diesel was driving are the steam engines under power, in a neutral gear? How does a steam engine work when you are not using the steam for power?

  • Love the diesel train with the gorgeous steamy surprise at the back. :)

  • beautiful.

  • @Starrywarz she still runs just not often

  • There is nothing like the sound of the whisle blowing on those babys!
