Is great to see history preserved like this. A bygone era where machines like this actually have a soul

4:27 "Largest operational locomotive." UP: "hold my beer and watch me build Big Boy 4014."

@ad356 4 года назад

he said privately owned. union pacific is a huge corporation. so what they said might be correct.

Oh my lord I have not seen a more beautiful train

@justforever96 6 лет назад

Thanks for the shot inside the firebox. I hadn't even realized I didn't actually know what a fire on a grate with firebricks, etc actually looked like.

@BalticFilms144 7 лет назад

I had a great time with the 1003 last weekend! Especially when I took my senior photos with her!

@DelayInBlockProductions 7 лет назад

You'll have the classiest senior photos in the yearbook!

Nice! 50 mph! This was considered high tech and state of the art in 1919. DIB is still the best.

@MrIdasam 7 лет назад

There is one of these locomotives on static display near where I live. I've always imagined what it would be like to see it run. Now I can. Thanks.

@thomasavensjr.2790 Год назад

It is enjoyable and an impressive learning experience observing the operational components of a steam locomotive, Soo Line 1003 is a fine example of Midwestern steam power and I really enjoy seeing footage of the 1003 in operation.

@RailFanMikeProductions 7 лет назад

Very nice work, loved the interviews and all the different clips! one of these days we've gotta meet up trackside

@orgcoast 7 лет назад

Great looking and sounding locomotive; terrific shape for its age. There are some very large loco's out West in Wyoming and Oregon. I believe they are all oil burners and are much younger; built in the mid to late 40's. UP has preserved a 4-8-8-4 Big Boy and a 4-8-4 Northern. In Portland there is another 4-8-4, #4449 with SP livery. Kudos to all who keep these things going.

Delay In Block Productions Thank you! I only wish I could get out and do more, but being a dad/full-time employee plus many weekends cuts down on that. But I'll be trackside next Saturday again :)

@alcopower5710 3 года назад

Have to agree with the one gentleman that I like them best when clean . She’s a really beauty. I’ve always felt it’s a real shame that Alco did not survive. Think about all the beautiful and significant steam AND diesel locomotives they built.

That engineer with the brown eyes is sooo hot. I was wondering why engineer guys always wear overalls and why the choo choo charlie hat? That train is sooo pretty!

@alexanderpoirier3350 6 лет назад

Beautifully done indeed! Keep up the great work! Just out of curiosity, but what is the story behind the 50’ reefer? Thanks!

Why the headlight it's so high? It should be in the center, right?

@dergenmusic2081 4 года назад

David ii From what I’ve seen, a lot of Soo Line engines had a high headlight. I personally like it. It’s something different so it’s nice

@raptorproductions1639 6 лет назад

Specifically where does the soo line 1003 run?

@GTWDude 7 лет назад

Can you do a video of when grand trunk western 4070 is restored I mean it's probably not for another 2 years but it would be really cool with what you do in catching trains

@DelayInBlockProductions 7 лет назад

It's definitely possible!

@TrainsofNortheastWisconsin 7 лет назад

did you at least the CN east of hartford?

@youtubevlogproductions7579 4 года назад

Hey you’re the guy that runs the steam trains at the Milwaukee County zoo! Let me know when you’re gonna run both steam trains in the same day because I have a RU-vid channel and I’m gonna film a quality video on it

@karlhaynes3887 7 лет назад

Delay in Block Productions There is a Christmas train like this but in Portland, Oregon called the holiday express. The motive power is a little lager than 2-8-2s more like the Spokane, Portland and Seattle 700 (4-8-4 Northern) or the Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 (4-8-4 Northern, also the locomotive to pull the train this year) or see them any time at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center located in Portland, Oregon. Hope to see you there one of these years. Link to the website www.orhf.org Hope you found this interesting. Please take it in to consideration. Karl, a loyal subscriber

@missourirailfan3948 6 лет назад

what line is this and what is the name of this railroad

@stephanschauer8266 5 месяцев назад

You guys lied about 1003 being the only operating Soo Line steam locomotive operating this day in age you forgot about the Soo Line 353 out at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion at Rollag Minnesota she too is operational but yes you are correct that 1003 is the largest operating Soo locomotive today since 353 is an 0-6-0

STOP IT STEP

@planebois Год назад

I have a dilemma. It is coming to my hometown of Chicago this Friday and leaving Sunday. Unfortunately, it operates Early morning late night style for some reason. Anyone else experienced that when they caught it?

@MichiganRailProductions 7 лет назад

Will #1003 be running any real excursions? (Passenger Runs. etc.), or will they just stick to photo frieghts and santa trains?

@TrainsofNortheastWisconsin 7 лет назад

Michigan Rail Productions they have been doing santa trains and photo shoots since '96... so i don't think so

@MichiganRailProductions 7 лет назад

Okay.

@TrainsofNortheastWisconsin 7 лет назад

Michigan Rail Productions SOO 1003 is owned by Wisconsin and Southern RR, and has been. They won't let there loco go off there trackage because of insurance and stuff

@MichiganRailProductions 7 лет назад

Well at least they should have some more passenger cars so that SOO 1003 can run regular excursions around the WSOR, like PM 1225, which runs excursions around the GLC.

@justforever96 6 лет назад

Whenever I see these modern day crews, although I'm highly appreciative of them, all I can think is "I bet a professional hogger from 1930 would have shook his head at them as he watched them work".

@Chasingrail 4 года назад

Actually, this crew is a very good crew. I think it’s slightly different, but Ken Ristow, the engineer, is part of IRM’s steam club (I think), and the lack of smoke and just tons of white smoke shows that they know how to run it.
