So Skip why is this engine burning clean ? i mean there is very little black smoke out the stack, i noticed that from the first start up. its a beautiful sound guess i was born too late . I could listen to the music it makes forever.

[SkipW]

its not metalica, but is is metalic heavy metal thunder, when running at speed

[pete49100]

[SkipW]

Note the DDA40X as 'backup'...

Another timeless UP classic.

Warm weather conditions do NOT cause instant condensation of the exhaust steam. Other than that, the warm fire box is getting a sweet burn = no soot to speak of.

in my opinion, the most beautiful American steam loco ever made

@lockgnarvangoogen The whistle 844 is carrying is a Hancock 3 chime....she's never worn a 6 chime.

@ford427mustang A clean stack is a GOOD thing.
