Il desiderio che mi porto dentro sin da quando ero piccolo era e' lo e' ancora di piu' di fare il macchinista di queste macchine meravigliose , capolavoro. dell'ingegno umano, ora vedere queste locomotive mi viene da piangere ,osservo i macchinisti con quanta disinvoltura armeggiano intorno .😢😢😢
What a beauty! I would expect to see it pulling an intermodal train, maybe a bulk, heavy or automotive train. It has the power to do it, we already saw the Challenger pulling an intermodal with power and even with the 844, why wouldn't this beauty do it?
Am I missing the BIG BOY logo on the front of the boiler? I plan on making it to Chi Town this September to check her out. Happy 4th to everyone and may God bless our country👍🏿
@@railgraphix Very understandable. I wonder if anybody can get a video where on the yellow yellow cars. There's a little site glass in the back. If I'm right, can one day record them feeling one of those cars all the way up with water?
Really enjoy your videos. If I may make a friendly suggestion, it would be to invest in a wind screen for your mic. Wyoming is wide open and windy as hell. It would enhance your production value so much if you could mitigate some of the wind noise.
NIce video - Thanks for the coverage! Strange consist - normally when she goes on tour it's the full 10+ passenger car consist - why are they short of passengers cars this time, and have loaded her up with Box cars and Grain cars?
@@IanRMcAllister they don’t always have the passenger cars. There’s been plenty of times the wasn’t passenger cars in the consist. They will be picking those up closer to the ticketed excursion.
