Santa Fe 3751 Steam Special to San Diego 2010 

12:30 a perfect train shot in my opinion

13:08 Well this is more than familiar :0 That's a throwback for me

13:08 In my opinion, this is the clip from CoasterFan2105 that I will remember most of all. Always loved watching this channel since it was kind of what got me into trains!

I love that whistle, I even close my eyes

Oh, I love that 6 chime whistle. My favorite of all time.

13:08 Early CoasterFan2105 subs know wassup

Nice! It hard to believe its been 10 years since 3751 made a Trip to San Diego.

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

The collaboration between AT&SF and Baldwin during the years of steam sure did produce some good looking locomotives.

Hi Mike; Thank you for the great look back and the story that goes with it. Watching the railfans crowding the open vestibule windows and the baggage card doors reminds me of the early 1960's in Ontario when the Upper Canada Railway Society sponsored many steam excursions behind CNR's Northern class 4-8-4's locomotives. I spent many days in those baggage cars. They always had a number of large tables which were full of fans' reel to reel tape decks recording the history. It is sad that no organization stepped up to the plate with a commitment to preserve/restore such power when the certifications expired. Nice work ! And thank you for sharing.

This is definitely a locomotive that I appreciate like all steam locomotives due to the huge part they play in US History.

That was a great video. I love steam trains, they are so amazing to see and learn.

Thank you for the 3751 to San Diego video, Mike. I enjoyed it.

I love the Santa Fe 4-8-4’s. I didn’t know that the people who own the locomotive currently only bought 3751 for a d o l l a r

I think the 3751 has one of the best sounding whistles in the country

It's nice to see this train from the outside. I was riding in (as I recall) the 2nd Amfleet car back. Coincidentally, CoasterFan2105, this is the trip which first introduced me to Coaster and I took a great photo of their F40PH # 2105 at Carlsbad station.

15:18 Music to my ears. Nathan K5Ls are pretty rare to hear these days.

Best Steam Locomotive Ever! :-D

11:15 Amtrak 577 & 774, perfect surfliner set. Not something you see nowadays. EDIT: So is 785

13:08 That's the shot he used for his old intros!

The SEASIDE shot was EPIC! Thanks for sharing MIKE!! :D

Santa Fe 3751 is an interesting locomotive to me. If it existed anywhere else I really wouldn’t care for it but it was the large steam locomotive in my area and I have grown more fond of it because of that. It’s probably 3rd place on my list for the steam locomotive in restoration is due to return soon right behind 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley and 3801. I’ll definitely be seeing her when she’s back.

A wonderful video of an amazing engineering feat.. Thank you.

13:08 If that were me filming that meet, I wouldn't have been able to contain my excitement! What a shot!

Man, I can't believe 3751 is 93 years old. I thought it was built in the 1940s. Crazy to think it's close to 100 years old.

damn i miss the good ol days of los angeles railfanning... watching this is so nostalgic

Oh Yeah! I almost forgot... 10 years ago on this day, the 3751 sure got a lot of attraction by many people and just seeing so many videos!

Unusual to see 5 cars on a Surfliner in 2010. Also #507 was sold last year.

Man, this has got to be one of your best videos ever! But then again I biased because 3751 is one of my favorite steam locomotives! I only hope to be able to chase her someday.

Looks very nice Mike

Santa Fe 3751 is an awesome locomotive. Hopefully it will do some more excursions in the future.

Best RU-vid Video In The Universe

Great footage and video Mike! That weekend was sure a fun one and one of my first excursions behind mainline steam power. I too just recently re-shared some of those memories of the footage my family and I got of this excursion on my channel too. Thanks for re-sharing your footage to your viewers! Loved that K5L on 505 at 15:17 and K5LAs of the 460 & 461 F59s. -Jon

Sooooooooooooo goooood I love it 🥰

The Coaster Meets The 3751 Express! Just Love That Part!

From what I’ve read 3751 is scheduled to return very shortly. I’ve been following the FRA 15-year rebuild on their Facebook and according to the group, the rebuild is almost done.

CALIDOT Information: California Please note: Due to the current Pandemic, these cars are unlikely to enter service in mid-2020 The CALIDOT Fleet will be replacing the Comet Cars used on the San Joaquins along with 4 Nor-Cal trainsets. These sets will be sent to replace the Horizon set on the Surfliner. The other 3 will be broken up to replace the Superliners on the Surfliner.

13:02 the origin of CoasterFan2105's intro

It’s always nice to see steam running again.

This is one of my favorite locomotives of all time! You did a very good job with this video and I learned a lot! I hope to see her running some day in person

I’ve done the Amtrak trip before and I liked it and since I wear my railfan stuff I got to be in the cab engine ride with Timmy and I love it

Cool Picture Santa Fa Steam TRAIN 3751.

From before, when they would run this steam locomotive. They used to have real Santa Fe silver coaches behind it, and of course Santa Fe diesel locomotives as well to help. But nowadays I don't know if Amtrak owns the steam locomotive, but I would see some Amtrak locomotives and a mix-up of other coaches behind-the-scene locomotive. And that's not right. I hope to see you real silver Santa Fe coaches, and BNSF locomotives behind the steam locomotive if they ever use it again. Because I really want to see Santa Fe tradition for the steam locomotive itself, and to give some real nostalgia for the entire train itself. And to have BNSF locomotives behind the steam locomotive, I won't mind on that. I just want to see a real nostalgic tradition of the Santa Fe to be used for the steam locomotive itself, along with the help of two or three BNSF locomotives

I’ve always wondered what happened to 3751. Now I know now. Thanks CF2105

Oh my god this is memory lane for me. This was my first ever steam excursion, and a big one for me since I had been dreaming of going behind 3751 since I was a kid in the early 2000's. Great work on the documentary!

21:29 -- now that's a nice shot!

Thanks for the awesome flashback Mike 5/1/2010 was the first time I ever saw 3751

I remember seeing many videos of that May 1 2010 trip! My favorite was this one where the Locomotives ran over a guy's camera.

I love Santa Fe Steam Locomotive so much and they built in 1927

Nice catch of a 1700 series baggage cars.

This is Awesome

13:08 old intro

I was waiting to see the full video when 3751 Meets coaster train. Awesome! 3751 is a very cool locomotive! Santa fe 3751 pulls an amtrak train!

Wow, with National Train Day coming up I'm getting antsy to do some travelling but who knows what is going to happen this year. This is starting to hurt the smaller railroads and groups.

Very Well Done Mike!

Amazing, $1 saved this piece of steam history! :)

I was on this excursion, I will never forget it

Awesome video, I can't wait to see her return to service in soon when she passes the boiler inspection, hopefully Richard Anderson doesn't get in the way for ruining our railroads, everybody just hates him including me! One con I have to admit was 8:57 when you said quiet zone, it just makes me mad to see people not realise that more cars are getting hit every year thanks to them, and yet they claim quiet zones are there to help them feel relaxed and peaceful, but when the horn sounds off, it damages their ears supposedly causing noise pollution, I totally doubt that! I really hope they start removing quiet zones soon to teach those people a lesson about railroad safety, if they don't like the horn, either they get used to it or simply move to a different area, but asking for quiet zones, oh ho no, don't get me started with those!

great awesome trip video and catches with good whistle action of this famous steamers run to San Diego with other trains the steamer is back on service nawa after it had the inspection a while ago

Love the video Mike

I love Santa Fe 3751 and metrolink

Masterful

Gotta tell you coasterfan2105 but that was the first loco I saw on video and wat an awesome first! Can’t wait for her 100th birthday celebration! I might be there1

Awesome job Mike I absolutely love your videos there awsome keep up the awesome work and I noticed that the Coaster train meeting the special looks like your old Intro

I did heard that Santa Fe 2926 is soon going to be returning back to operating condition soon.

Love that whistle!

Nice shots at the old xings in Pico before the separation!

It’s weird that the San Bernardino bought the locomotive for ONE DOLLAR

13:07 the classic intro

Nice catches with Santa Fe 3751. ~Andrea.

This was a good video to watch! Great video, Mike! -Andrew Mangalindan

Be great if 3751 made another visit to san diego again in the future.

I ❤ this video! 🤩

12:41 I watched that about a million times

Thanks for reshowing this.

I actually caught a BNSF T4 GEVO with a trailing #173.

Tbh, the 3751's whistle reminds me of the sp 2472's in the 90's

by the way I love you videos I am such train fan and I bet you are to.

Thank for sharing nice video

Happy Friday! :-D

My dumbass really thought that a giant train was coming from behind the building in the thumbnail

I love the big Santa Fe Steam locomotives and my favorite ones are the 3751 Quince locomotives and the 2900 class locomotives

Delighted Thanks They do not make them like this anymore.

Certified Fresh Chocolate Chip Cookies for Very Very Awesome

Ckeck out Santa Fe locomotive 3751. She was made in the year 1927, and she's still a beauty.
