TOP 15 STEAM TRAINS that look Awesome 

If I could I would display a stram locomotive in my front yard. The wife says 👎 . So I have a vintage whistle from a steamer connected to my air compressor in the garage. 🍻 👏

I absolutely love steam engine trains.... I plan on heading overseas to take a trip on some of the few steam trains still running these days..... These trains were the workhorses of the past that helped bring us into the future!

As a mechanical engineer steam locomotives are one of the greatest inventions of all time. The complexity of them for the time is impressive.

Trainy McTrainface... the land based version of Boaty McBoatface.... I'm still laughing.

I'm an American and I can say I think the Mallard is one of if not the most beautiful passenger hauling steam locomotive in the world!. If I'm not mistaken it was also nicknamed the blue goose lol. She's beautiful.

not a steam train; a steam locomotive which hauls a train

I’m not very fond of foreign railroading in general. But I’m very happy they have preserved some of their historic equipment like the Flying Scotsman., and have them in museums or operational.

I got so happy seeing the Scarborough Flyer because Scarborough is my hometown 😃😃

Nice video! What I've always loved about steam locomotive's is the big plume of steam!

2:28 That’s not the end of the story for 3985. In November UP did an equipment move including TWO steam engines one of those being 3985 and both steam locos are being fully restored to excursion service or tourist trains

I agree that the Q2, Challenger, S1, Allegheny, Y Class, and the Big Boy are beautiful

Flying Scotsman IS NOT undergoing restoration work, it is based at Bury on the East Lancashire Railway in Greater Manchester and is operational. She is RARELY at York

As a local, I've never heard anyone pronounce Scarborough like that.

Trains are the Best Thank you for the video🚂

I knew I would see abit of bury town in there somewhere.

Yo you forgot to say that Union Pacific 3985 was donated to a nonprofit organisation. Will be restored to operatonal condition.

Idea: Most revolutionary trains in America

I feel like the GS-4 is a good contender for top 10 somewhere.

So many trains with two wheels apart just like the union pacific challenger

12:28 The Scarborough Flyer is NOT a steam train. That green and black engine is called Duchess of Sutherland, she doesn’t pull The Scarborough Flyer and as of 2018, she is red and black.

Sadly you went from talking about locomotive classes in the US which is good but when you got to the UK you talked about train services, not locomotive classes. A train and a locomotive are two seperate entities.

Good afternoon and HAPPY LABOR DAY to all from SE Louisiana 5 Sep 22.

Aw . . . Missing my favorite, Santa Fe's 484. It's a strictly business poster model for steam locomotives that brings the kid out in grown men I'd replace one of those pretentious attempts at modern art with it. Then you could still put "A1", "Shak" and "Cigarette" all three aboard and it would still look the part highballin' through the yard and the fog at a frightening 100 plus MPH.

There is a other y class in Illinois at the Illinois Railroad museum

Their is a company rebuilding one Pennsylvania RailRoad T1 steam locomotive to beat the speed record and if you look at the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 it is the longest locomotive in the world and the length for 4014 is 132 feet long. The Mallard steam locomotive is only 70 feet in length.

Suprised not to see the engine hailed as the most beutiful, daylight gs-4

awesom video nothing like a steam locomotive the best

There were 4 triplex locos . 1 Virginian and 3 of the Erie railroad.

Norfolk and Westerns Y3A, 2050. Is at the Illinois Railway Museum, in Union Illinois.

amazing train

you might want to amend your list in the future, England will have several new steam engines running on the mainline soon, LNER P2 Class 2007 "Princes of Wales" will be one of them

I missed the GS-4 daylight on this list

So why, when you began talking about British entries, did you mix express services with the locomotives themselves?

To bad you missed one fully functional steam train in North America. The Royal Hudson based in North Vancouver BC, Canada.

PRR T1 is typing…

Bro cool video

I just love when I get that notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" Or "Someone has subscribed!" Makes my day better!!!!!😊🍻

I love steam trains

I noticed that the thumbnail was steam trains galore 5 from coasterfan2105

Cool

I like your choices but...How could you NOT include the iconic NYC Dreyfuss Hudson??? Although not anywhere as big, it's way more beautiful than the PRR S1. And, if you were going to include the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard, the Dreyfuss Hudson should be there, as well. Just sayin'...

Am I hearing the guy from simple history?!

Bro thanks for sharing this video 🚇

Them are some huge locomotives on display on the Iron Range of Minnesota! Heaviest trains in North America were/are iron ore trains.

4 triplexes were built 1 for the Virginian and 3 for the Erie

Top 1 steam train U.P 4014: Am i a joke to you dude

I'm surprised the Southern Pacific GS-4 isn't on here!

i agree a4 like mallard are very good looking engine running board is a bit difficulte to walk on

You’ve forgotten the ATSF 3751!

How about the South African Railways SAR Class 26 3450 Red Devil?

12:13 it's not a locomotive it's a train service

You lost me when you got to numbers 5 and 4 on the list. From 15 downward, you were talking about STEAM ENGINES, and therefore the aesthetic qualities of the engines - not the train. Cornish Riviera and Scarborough Flyer are the names given to a special train - which could be hauled by the most ugliest engine in the world, but would still be called “Scarborough Flyer” or “Cornish Riviera Express”….

Wait are u also the simple history guy?

you have to wait for Mallard to get correct terminology

Their are 2 y class 2156 and 2050

No Beekshires,,,calling a foul.

Mallard was faster than the Pennsy T1 4-4-4-4?

4:18 that's a british prarie not a triplex, I don't like that you mixed two countries up with COMPELETLY DIFFERENT DESIGNS

Flying Scotsman what about the mallard the fastest steam engine in the world

My favorite train is of course the Hogwarts Express 🚂

The Pennsylvania T1 is going to obliterate it once they build the new one look up the Pennsylvania T1 trust and also the most beautiful locomotive in the world hands down is the Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 GS4 484 Northern

While your narrative is good the accompanying photos and videos frequently have nothing to do with the locomotive (not train) that you are describing.

Big Boy still number one in my book.♥️

btw if you want to be accuact its locomotive not steam trains

Alec Baldwin?

A lot of the information in this video isn't correct

mfw the thumbnail is the same thumbnail from one of coasterfan2105's soo line 1003 video

WASATCH is pronounced "wah-satch" Just thought you would like to know???!!!

There IS a big difference between a "train" and a LOCOMOTIVE! LOCOMOTIVES are NOT "trains"...❗

Stop calling locomotives trains. A locomotive isn't a train unless it has red marker lights at the rear and has authority to occupy a running track.

Let's face it, you know nothing about what you ate talking about. To begin with, they aren't steam TRAINS, they are steam LOCOMOTIVES.

4014 is better u have false report

Mallard....best for last....yuuuuucccckkkkk.......how can you not have the NEW YORK CENTRAL 20TH CENTURY LIMITED

This video gets my thumbs down as there were several locomotives around the world that were far more handsome than locomotives like the XA Triplex and the Pennsy S1. moreover many trains like the Cornish Riveria Express and the Scarborough Flyer were names of trains, not locomotives. You started with types of locomotives than went to train titles then back to locomotive names. An example is that what many people don't realize is that the Flying Scotsman is that name of a locomotive and train. E.G. Flying Scotsman was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, who also designed Mallard. Flying Scotsman was a Class A3 pacific and had many sister engines such as Papyrus, Royal Lancer and Great Northern. Flying Scotsman was also the title of a train. During the age of steam it was possible for A3 Pacific No.4472 "Flying Scotsman" to haul the Flying Scotsman train. It was also possible for Mallard to haul the Flying Scotsman train, which still operates today, but with more modern rolling stock. The locomotives used on the Cornish Riveria Express were King or Castle Classes of the Great Western Railway. Famous examples were King George V or Pendennis Castle. I'm sorry but I feel that I should give you a thumbs down because you are viewing the world through the eyes of an American. E.G you only looked at the USA, UK and what was quite an ugly train in India. You failed to look at Africa were they are many beautiful locomotives and Australia, which is home to some of the most handsome locomotives in the world. I would urge you to please study your subject thoroughly before proceeding to publish videos like this one.

I hate to complain, however it irritates me to hear steam train, you're speaking about steam locomotives. A steam train is a steam locomotive powering a string of cars regardless of freight or passenger cars.

This video is poorly researched. There's far more beautiful steam locomotives that weren't included, even though they look better than some steam engines on the list

Everning Star, Dutchess of Hmalton and the Stiring single 1 i persoanly belive they belong on this list imo
