For more on this series of videos, be sure to check out Parts 1 & 2. But in Part 3, we start off with UP Steam Manager Scott George as he gives whistling the flag in a try while UP Steam Fireman/Engineer Ted Schulte looks on. From there, the train is shoved North and West onto the Great Western Railway for a brief lunch break. After lunch, we catch the train near Ault where the steam crew is wasting NO time in trying to get back up into Wyoming. Stay with us friends, as we will soon make a brief inspection stop, then get right back to it! Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!! Copyright Nick Valdez Railroad Photography 2017.

How can anyone dislike a living, breathing machine like this???????

@YurrickLamhfhada 6 лет назад

Because they have no soul.

Millennial people. They dont know the good stuff like we do.

@cofm2326 5 лет назад

I think the crazy go green people would have a melt down if we restored all these old steam trains.I think they need a come back for sure.

@izzynelson3156 7 лет назад

Really good to see top quality steam restorations happening in the US. What a beautiful locomotive. A real credit to the team. Thanks for sharing.

@yamahaguy1732 6 лет назад

Izzy Nelson were also restoring 4014 bigboy and the challenger don't know its number

@habibnetanukefuel795 6 лет назад

the paintwork is superb

@cellogirl11rw55 6 лет назад

Check out Southern Pacific's 4449. It's a fast passenger locomotive, like UP 844. It also has a superb paint job. 😁 I also have some footage of the newly restored ALCO #17 from the Hammond Lumber Company at the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad in Elbe, Washington on my channel. What a fun day that was!

@battlemouse1 5 лет назад

What a majestic machine. It glides down the rails like it's nothing. Totally AWESOME.

@DaveH953 6 лет назад

It's wonderful the way the Union Pacific Railroad keeps the history of steam alive. Keep up the great work guys.

@ricovali9245 6 лет назад

Thank you for letting us hear this glorious beast breathe and exhale. With no voice over like most videos do.

@Supernaut2000 4 года назад

That living and breathing steam engine looks so proud and is totally enjoying a good fast run on the rails!

@jordangroff7048 5 лет назад

One nice piece work great job Union Pacific team so nice to see old steam at work

@soyounoat2814 5 лет назад

6:36 to 7:00 may be the greatest 24 seconds of railroad video ever published. It is for me.

@nightlightabcd 4 года назад

What a magnificent machine! Even at full speed, it's side arms and wheels make it look like it is just loping along! Great machine and great video!

@916fanatic1 6 лет назад

Dude, thanks for taking the time to make and publish this video. Your footage is really good and very enjoyable.

@atilllathehun1212 4 года назад

Brit here. I've just ordered a model of this magnificent engine. Great filming, beautiful loco.

Up 884 has some good whistles

@gaylenemorley916 5 лет назад

That whistle is so out of this world sounding. I wish i knew a u p worker that would give me a ride with 844 pulling me to one end of usa to the other

@teacfan1080 7 лет назад

Man, do they have that steamer in tip top shape! Super nice and clean and black! Love your videos because the stability of the camera you use is incredible! Zooming clear up to the cab while in motion and steady as a rock!

@byronpink9061 2 года назад

Magnificent to watch!! Thanks for sharing!!

@pierrenoir8823 6 лет назад

Fabuleux ! Mon rêve.... !

@johnmcdowell5739 6 лет назад

Im going to watch these again but with a scotch and cigar.

@travisvive4463 5 лет назад

Union pacific need recover 814 and restore it.That would be so awesome to see 844 and 814 running double header.

@habibnetanukefuel795 6 лет назад

thanks for the upload Nick

@chubby7570 6 лет назад

who does not like steam locomotives?

@robertcampbell9946 5 лет назад

I find theseold steamers more fascinating than diesels cause everry piece of piece of parts to make them work is on the outside .You can see them working together .

@carenyard8383 5 лет назад

Bro the engine has no gender💀

@seanwhite7532 6 лет назад

I assumed the modern diesel electric loco 4 cars in might be providing power and or redundancy to the steamer, but what are the long cars with generators in them? And what are they for?

@Supernaut2000 4 года назад

Born to run!

@andie_pants 4 года назад

Bring back the choo-choo trains, damn it!

@EngineerDaylight 3 года назад

With the 844 you can really roll coal, literally. Even if she doesn't burn coal anymore

@Farmer-bh3cg 3 года назад

Really dumb question: At around 9:30 What are the flashes of light coming from between the last set of wheels just before the cab? Is it a flame exhaust from the boiler? Thanks and sorry for the dumb question!

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

thats the flame from the firebox

@TrainLover-wt9ix 2 года назад

Why is there two types of FEF-3’s? One with one lightbulb. And one with a lightbulb and a red lightbulb. What are they both called?

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

theyre the same thing, No. 844 red mars light was removed because the bracket supporting it has been detereorated

@TrainLover-wt9ix Месяц назад

@@voidjavelin23 Crazy. Also this was two years ago that I commented, so I know the difference now, thank you.

@theq4602 7 лет назад

Is there any chance that UPs steam excursions will come down to Dixie?

@jmead2294 7 лет назад

So do any of you know "If" and/or "When" U.P. will be making an 844 run to Harlingen Texas again? I followed it from Fort Worth Texas down to Hearn Texas and took pics in Hearn.

@TyTheThomasFan 2 года назад

8:12 my favorite part

@travisvive4463 5 лет назад

She's feeling like new again.There's one thing missing about the 844 where's the red head light. Its missing it should be right above the main head light.

@zuke-ci4vd 2 года назад

This is so fun to watch! I take it the flashes of fire coming from under the firebox are normal? (Around the 9:20 mark.)

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

yes

@RollingEasy 5 лет назад

What speed would it be doing on an open run here?

@yamahaguy1732 6 лет назад

I heard a guy say this locomotive is the air force one of Union Pacific and it's true

@carygrant8796 7 лет назад

I don't recall seeing flames under the rear wheels and the cab before.

@silverstatehighiron 6 лет назад

Cary Grant That's flames from the firebox.

@Shalako1946 6 лет назад

At time 9:20 I can see, what appears to be flames, appearing just over the rear truck of 844. Any idea what that is?

@miscellaneousyoutube5399 5 лет назад

It maybe the fire in the firebox burning

@CENsystem 4 года назад

It's just fire from the firebox flickering, it's normal on oil burning steam locomotives

@michaeld5888 Год назад

I remember in Africa when 7 years old watching an oil fired Beyer Garratt which has no wheels under the boiler climbing up an embankment and you could clearly see from the front the oil jets burning in the grate. it was an impressive sight and not hidden by a layer of coal

@carenyard8383 5 лет назад

How fast was she going?

@bangwezl 6 лет назад

What's that looks fire flashing between the back truck and the cab? Or am I finally too daggone old to see?

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

thats the flame on the firebox

@AIM54A 6 лет назад

Why is there a fire burning under the train at 10:34. Is that waste oil or something else burning under the fire box?

@timgreen4137 6 лет назад

Mini DK#9 That is caused by "blow back" from the fire box. At the slower speeds, the flue draft isn't full strength. So, in between exhaust pulses, the draft slows, which causes the fire to blow back, for a short time. At least that is the way I understand it.

@robb.675 7 лет назад

Am I right in assuming 844 has been converted to oil? I don't see any mound of coal in the tender.

@johnmorris3744 6 лет назад

Rob B. Union Pacific converted all of their FEF’s to burn oil shortly after WW2, when a series of coal worker strikes threatened the coal supply.

@timgreen4137 6 лет назад

John Morris I also hear that it was done to help prevent track side fires caused by coal cinders.

@aznmozez2214 3 года назад

I wish they can do a speed test, test how fast 844 can go full throttle and full engineer concentration. Hope she'll top over 100.

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

not gonna happend with the decrepit infrastructure

@urtooslow4415 3 года назад

844 is one fast engine

@kempmt1 3 года назад

Are bringing these steam locomotives back in service or are they for to show them to the country?

@michaelmoses8745 3 года назад

It is mostly to show off and engage in public relations. They do, however, on occasion, hail freight between P.R. stops.

@jeromep 2 года назад

Union Pacific is the only tier 1 railroad in the U.S. that maintains a steam shop and a heritage fleet. All of their operational steam is capable of pulling freight, in addition to their normal yearly excursion runs. They also have operational heritage diesel units. 844 is unique in that she was never removed from their register of motive power. An engine of this size is incredibly expensive to run, maintain, and restore, therefore you don’t see too many 4-8-4 engines in private museum service. You generally need the monetary resources of a profitable freight railroad to be able to keep,these kinds of units running.

@voidjavelin23 Месяц назад

it isnt doing anything other than giving a dynamic brake supoirt along PTC system compliance to be able run thru the mainline

@CyPhi68 5 лет назад

7:00 - 8:00 242 revolutions, 57.6 mph.

@Somethingisntright64 3 года назад

I also calculated ~57 mph @ 7:00.

@codymcglaughlin5258 6 лет назад

Why is there a diesel there

@alexphillips4325 6 лет назад

Cody McGlaughlin providing artificial load to help break in the locomotives new parts

@Kzoowallace 6 лет назад

2 reasons. 1 just incase of valve failure UP844 will not be stuck waiting for another loco to come get it. 2 they are using as an artificial load by using it's dynamic brakes system so UP doesn't have to find 150 loaded cars for UP844 to pull.

I hope I'm not the only one here because of the Onion Pacific meme

@timengland3649 7 лет назад

Another piss poor run with a diesel electric in the mix!

@coalcreeksteam 7 лет назад

Tim England, the diesel is using dynamic braking to create a load for the 844.

@916fanatic1 6 лет назад

Why does it need an artificial load? Can't steam loco's run without a train attached? Somehow I don't think you are correct about this. I think it probably is more likely that it's for insurance purposes.

@timgreen4137 6 лет назад

916fanatic1 This is a "break in" run after some maintenance. The only good way to break in the new parts, is to put the engine under a substantial load and work it hard. The diesel electric is providing the dynamic braking, or artificial load to properly break in the new parts after the repairs. Also, by using the diesel electric's dynamic braking, they don't have to find 150 loaded rail cars for a "real" load.

@manga12 6 лет назад

yes but 150 rail cars allowing her to pull a revenue run would be much more fun, rare and would make my day scratch that it would make my week as would many. also minus 5 points for the engineer not wearing an engineers hat or overalls, or big gauntlets for that matter this is steam not no stinking diesel electro after all, though they did let it get up to a nice galloping pace at an all out run the way a steamer is meant to run and does best at, unlike most of the steamers in the USA limited to 40 mph or below, this is a passenger loco and they are made to run like a Thoroughbred horse.

@sablesaber5930 5 лет назад

no, it was not even used for the run. It was only to power other carts and turned off for the rest of the excursion. You just want to point it out simply to complain to be a bitch.
