Great video - thanks for sharing. I grew up on E. 47th St. and remember running over to the "hump back bridge" and watch these come barreling through on rare occasions. That whistle is something you never forget.
My husband got the privilege to drive this locomotive when it was restored in North Judson indiana on its way to Fort Wayne indiana he had a lot of fun to experience a footplate cab ride throttle experience at the throttle doing a wide open throttle at 85mph high ball as he called it in trains term of going very fast from North Judson indiana all the way full head of steam to Fort Wayne indiana museum
@@kristafoster7190 Did your husband know my late coworker Richard "Dick" Yager, from the SP 4449 crew? I was Dick's coworker at the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation (ORHF) / Oregon Rail Heritage Center (ORHC) in Portland, Oregon for a few years. I was proud to call Dick Yager a good friend, and I was honored to know him. Dick Yager was one of the coolest men I knew. Knowing Dick Yager changed my life.
A heavy train on a grade! "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I thought I could!" She did! A beautiful video of a hard working girl and a good engineer. Thanks for capturing it. 🎉😂
Great video. Been a terrific one if the idiots would have common sense to get out of the way. Specially when you see that someone is trying to video record it.
God, what a beautiful machine. While diesel and electric locomotives can be impressive, they just don't compare to steam ones. The sounds they make, like living, breathing entities combined with the whirligigs and moving mechanisms we can actually see make for a rewarding and unforgettable experience. Such an incredible sight!
Where there's smoke there's a fire. All the fireperson needs to learn now is how to turn the stoker down and use the water injectors. Well at least he knows the safety's works properly!
UN - glaublich : Eine Lokomotive mit EINER Radumdrehung in etwa *4* Sekunden - s o o schwer mußte sie _a u f w ä r t s - steigend_ ziehen - mit dauerndem Zischen des Dampfüberdruck -Ventils und mit einem irren schwarzen Qualm ((( beinahe wie ein brennender Öl-Tanker - _fast_ _!_ ... ㋛ ))) - Das muß man e c h t mal gesehen haben - ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ .
Amazing patience, and an interesting video in U.K. if not on the rails of a Heritage Railway Line, it certainly would not be pulling the load that she was carrying, it looks like she could still earn a decent living. I was well impressed.
Holy Smoke clouds Batman, what’s the problem, safely valves open and horrific clouds of Black smoke that’s bound to get every pollution nut in America wanting to shut down steam operations
In this situation 765 was as full throttle as you can get. They have the engine overfired hence the super black smoke and relief valve blowing off in an attempt to get every bit of horsepower to the track. The call was even given to the dispatcher that a stall was imminent and to send assistance. Luckily this is one of the best crews in the business and it wasn't needed.
@@Heat0ne Wouldn't it make sense to just highball it on the way to the start of the grade and then use all the built up energy to just scream up the hill with the throttle wide open?
I cannot believe I missed this. I live close by and I didn't know anything about this. What was the occasion, and is it Scheduled to come through here again?
That fireman has his job on the RED CARPET for wasting all that fuel and safety valve lifted and black carbon out the stack. He could get a letter of rec. with a water mark of a goose with a broken neck. That meant he has been black balled (NO JOB ON ANY RAILROAD).
Eu gosto da locomotiva Maria Fumaça,a do Brasil, e lindo quando sai passando pelas serras.adoro viagar,é um passado maravilhoso, esse trem deveria ser só de passageiros, tempo bom.obrigado,parabéns.ao maquinista.🙋♀️👍
