FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS1: Is the Metrolink diesel pushing the steam locomotive? No, the diesel is there to provide electrical power for the coaches, as well as dynamic braking. Listen at 7: 55, that is the bark of a 1927 steam loco, not the rumble of a diesel. 2: Why is there no smoke? The fireman (the guy who makes the steam for the engineer to use) is firing the engine well. He is using as little fuel as possible, to make as much steam as possible. This means there is little smoke. 3: How much coal does it use? None. This locomotive was converted to burn atomized oil in 1936. 4: How fast is she going? About 55 or 60ish. This is no where near her top speed. 3751's highest recorded speed was set in 1941, when she hit 103mph. 5: How did you work the camera while driving? I didn't. My dad was driving while I was filming from the back seat.

A beautiful machinery. Much better invention than a iDevice. Im sure there are Democrats sitting in the train with their iDevices and trying to carve out a new green deal. Long live coal, oil and gas. This video is a true documentary of a legendary invention that divides from Sir James Watt time till now. Also, is this what I heard about clean coal? When I was young I used to get so much soot on me.

What an glorious engine Brits maybe invented steam traction but they never built such powerful, tough and fast locomotives like Americans. Really, LNER A4 Mallard is nothing compared to UP 844 or even to PRR T1 Duplex. Even in my country we were able to build bigger engine than Brits ( Czech Republic, Central Europe, the No. 498 series Albatros class.

great video and sound choo chooo train Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 3751 is a 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive built in 1927 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.

4: 41 that old truck and this. I bet this was loud driving beside. Could picture the guy in the engine window saying you like, well watch this, turns to feed guy says turn it up. Gotta wonder just how long it can run like that without ripping itself apart, thing is a monster.

Just look at the size of that beast. When Americans build something its always absolutely massive. This is something the Japanese can never build. Something as spectacular as that. I was waiting for it to lift off to go back in time.

Being from San Bernardino, I've seen that engine on display out front in front of the depot for most of my life. I've asked my dad. Why not keep it working? He said it would cost too much and it's obsolete. Guess not

That Light Blue 1953 Ford F100 beside that Santa Fe 3751 just made my day. It just made me look at the Mafia series and L. A. Noire games as a reminder to new generations that we innovated from those.
