Good choice! Unfortunately the airline industry is what put a lot of these passenger trains and their locomotives out of business- both Steam and Diesel/electric.

Me too, although steam was long gone by my time, my first big fascination was anything and everything to do with the railroad. Now I'm a trucker, but what an era it must have been to lived during the tail end of the steam era! When my grandpa was a kid, he and his brother could catch rides on the caboose of a steam locomotive into town to take in a movie or whatever for 25 cents!

Beautiful, impressive loco, excellent video (shot 'out west' -- beautiful). I'm an 'airplane nut' but there is NOTHING more impressive than a GIANT steam locomotive shootin' out steam and smoke and sounding a steam whistle. Always amazed at how so many huge, heavy, 'loco' parts can be assembled and run at high speed without exploding and running off the tracks. Keep her running and best wishes to everyone who makes that possible. She's a national treasure.

It's a different monster when actually shoveling coal. That oil feed fire is not the same. The power it has when coal fire feels a true inspiring machine made by man. It's just sad that 95 percent of the steam locos are being converted to oil burners. I did fireman work for 6 years on 618 and 75 in heber, Utah.
@dickdaley9059

Two men could not shovel sufficient coal into the heart of this beast to keep the pressure at 300psi. It had to use the screw auger to deliver coal to evenly distribute the fuel inside the boiler. The Fireman controlled the auger from his seat and balanced water insertion with independent valves during the run. Every function was manually controlled. Nothing automated, nothing programmed. Just experienced operators trained to 1940’s operations keeping the monster happy and fed! 🚂

This was the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in the early 60’s. It was good to see parents bringing their children to see living history.
