Awesome video! 148 sure looks great in original FEC livery. Also happy to see that former Pennsy observation car have a new lease on life.

Glad to see she's got the correct type of headlight back. Now if she can be given back a decent Nathan 6-chime whistle, that would be awesome. IIRC, FEC's light Pacifics historically had chime whistles.

Awesome shots!!! Mighty big whistle for a little high-driver Pacific, gotta love it. Looks great with fresh paint, and the darker graphite on the smokebox was a great choice in my book. 🔥

WOW! I, along with many others, have been wishing that #FEC148 have her original livery... and US Sugar certainly didn't disappoint! I bet that up there, 'ole Henry Flagler would be smiling, happy that one of his steamers is still running around!

Every time without wearing a 5 chime whistle. This is just sad when they changed her whistle again. Just want to hear her beautiful 5 chime whistle to listen our ears.

Great shots! This also gives me renewed hope that US Sugar shall, at least at some point, have Atlantic Coast Line 1504 in her ACL appearance at some point. I also hope that they use her original whistle on her as well. Based on photos I saw of her from her display in Jacksonville, I'm certain she still has it. I've only found two videos of an ACL whistle in use so far and they're both on one of the Cass Scenic shays. It be great to hear one on an actual ACL steamer.

The whistle does not sound like it should be on this locomotive. Sounds like it should be on a UP big boy, or a streamliner

The CB&Q 5 chime whistle that 148 had suits it much better. As much as I like N&W 611's whistle from the 90s nothing will suit 148 more than its original 5 chime

it’s only because of the lack of loops or wyes to turn the train around on. 148 is easily able to pull the train without the diesel, but unfortunately most round-trip excursions have a diesel
