1926 Locomotive 3600HP 4-8-2 Mountain Type St Louis - San Francisco

I thought you might like a look at the #1522 St. Louis - Frisco 4-8-2 Mountain Type freight locomotive. This particular locomotive was restored at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, with the help of donations and a lot of volunteer labor. I hope you find it interesting, thanks for watching!

Filmed at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, MO

MacLeod's description:

Genre: Blues
Length: 3:15
Instruments: Guitar, Bass, Kit, Organ, EP
Tempo: 90

With a jumping bass and off-beat syncopation, this is straight from Memphis' Beale Street. The Hammond organ and electric guitar play together as longtime friends, while the melody changes hands from guitar to organ to electric piano. 011

For example purposes, Locomotive designations such as 4-8-2, refers to the number of wheels and wheel configuration. Following info is excerpt from wikipedia: 4-6-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles (usually in a leading truck), six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles, and two trailing wheels on one axle (usually in a trailing truck).
