happy birthday 491 😂 what a beautiful old lady she is, such a gun way to celebrate her age letting her blow out her candles and everything, I loved this
I will forever love this modern day tradition of chucking cakes into a firebox of a steamer on it’s birthday. One of the most wholesome railroad things I’ve ever seen and god damn does it put a smile on your face.
Reminds me saw another video of a crew tossing a cake into their train a few years ago. I think it was that cute lil Mason Bogie 0-6-4 #3 from Torch Lake / Calumet and Hecla Mining Co celebrating her 145th birthday.
HE DID IT, HE DID THE THING! That is so awesome to actually see it happen for real. I am curious will it leave a sticky mess when you guys go to clean it later. Or is this uncharted territory and you have no idea. And Happy Birthday 491 you beautiful girl
@@mikekuschka998 Yeah there is that part of me that says all of it was incinerated but there about part of me that the next time they clean out the fire box they'll find some sticky residue. Who knows but I was just happy to see it actually happen.
Belated congratulations 491! Hope you got your wishes and had a happy birthday! You don't look a day over 40, keep up your maintenance schedule and some overhauls later you'll be into the triple digits young girlie!
Happy birthday 491! Also did anyone else notice the fork that was also on the tray with the cake as it was thrown into the firebox? I wonder if they found anything remaining of it when they came to clean her out…
I’m sad I’m a couple weeks late, but still Happy Late Birthday 491! You are indeed a sweetheart and not just a Locomotive, you’re like a friend and family. This video is so sweet! 🥹
That throw made #491 kinda grumpy but is happy to celebrate her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO #491! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! 🥳🎉🎊🎂🚂🚃🚃
