You could never know what it's like. Your fuel, like winter, freezes just like ice, Now there's a cold lonely light that shines from you, You'll wind up like the wreck you hide, behind that mask you use. And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I'm a-comin back again. Got a taste of love in a simple way, and if you need to know why I'm still steamin, You just fade away! Don'chu know I'm still steamin, better than I ever did? Lookin like a true survivor, Feelin like a little kid! And now I'm still steamin, after all this time. I'm picking up the pieces of their lives without you on my mind! I'm still steamin! (Yeah yeah yeah!) x2 Once I could never hope to win, You're starting down the road, leavin me again. The threats you made were meant to cut me down, and if our work was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now! Because I'm still steamin, better than I ever did! Lookin like a true survivor, Feelin like a little kid! And now I'm still steamin after all this time! Pickin up the pieces of their lives without you on my mind! I'm still steamin! (yeah yeah yeah!) x2
@BlaxlandRidge3 yo is it cool if i also say my rivoiossi 4-4-0 was built along side Rino. it was originally a rino type but baldwin was making it for my railroad (J.C.R.R) it bacicly has the same stuff like yours & rino but i switched the headlight for a older looking one and planning on switching the smoke stack and replacing my broken pilot beam & pilot. i have 2 jupiter 4-4-0 s but there pretty mutch a stock model only thing iv done is paint them. J.C.R.R #1 had its gears and tender motor removed (i model in N scale but like customizing ho 4-4-0 s) i had some old break line tube so thats the new smoke stack for #1. im close to getting J.C.R.R #1 done just need a swinging bell, but #2 #4 #5 are becoming a project still looking for a #3 its the u.p 119 the bachmann one but cant find one that is cheap and money is a nother reason why lol. i have a old rivorossi 2-4-0 (#5) but i probably wont mess with that one probably a parts engine. if you do read this thankyou for reading my long ass coment lol you were my insporation for customizing 4-4-0 s hell for getting into 4-4-0 s / 4-6-0 s wild west era (p.s blaxland ridge #1 looks beautiful great work man) -Austin
0:53 Did anyone wonder why did 844 is the only one in these videos from the 1990-2000s (if you dont know then its cuz 844 is the only american train to never retire so hr is the only one in the 1990-2000s
Out of all the steam locomotives that still operate today in the USA, there is perhaps no locomotive more fitting of the line “I’m still standing, after all this time,” than UP 844, the only American steam locomotive to never be retired.
A very nice video of magnificent locomotives. I live all the way on the East Coast, though I was very fortunate to visit Utah about four years ago and see #4014 and #844 in the Ogden Station as part of the Golden Spike 150th Anniversary.
I’m wondering how these locos are doing nowadays, I have heard recent news of big boy pushing a stalled freight train earlier this year so I think big boy is doing fine but I haven’t heard or seen any news about 844 in like 4 years so I wonder what happened to it
I know this might sound weird, but i found this inspiring ... I, too, want to reach an unexpected age and get to proudfully shout "I'm still standing!"
