Right now the 737s are assembled in Renton but starting in 2024 they will begin assembling them at Paine Field too

It’s been slowly restored for decades, but the recent news means it’s full restoration is finally within reach! It is a long time coming for a worthy and often neglected locomotive.

@Trains! ...filmed by Russell Bynum I'm excited about it!

From a Railfan & Railroad Magazine article (4/28/23), that seems to be the size of it. A related MyNorthwest article (4/26/23) makes no mention of it, though the Northwest Railroad Museum has an extensive article on its website that relates the trade and a link to their blog about the arrival of 1246 on May 1st. Unsure if/when 529 is heading out, beyond “later this year”. Guess I should head out there and grab some footage. Also wondering how this effects their plan to restore another articulated locomotive already on site.

@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum 1246 belongs in Washington state and 529 in Oregon since OSL was a predecessor of UP.

It would be wonderful, but with the recent acquisition of GN 1246, and existing plans to restore another articulated locomotive already on site (whose fate is now unknown due to 1246), I fear she never will again; but I would love nothing better than to see it happen.

It’s a first for myself. It’s such a slow process! My poor filming arm was sore after that.

It is a joy to hear, indeed!

Glad you stumbled upon my video and enjoyed it! They really are. There is plenty more (on my channel) if you’re interested. Even if not, thanks for stopping by!

“Transmission: Single-speed transmission through reduction box and 90ºdrive gearbox to all 8 drive wheels.” This is from the C.P. Huntington Train Specs potion of Chance Rides’ PDF for the combustion engine version (for some reason, the electric’s PDF does not mention drive wheels at all). As the two shafts are at different angles, I’m fairly confident what is in between them is the 90°drive gearbox. In fact, my internet browsing found several mentions (and photos) of owners deliberately removing the faux drivers and rods to easier maintenance (that is, run the locomotive without them). I consider that strong supporting evidence for only eight.

Thank you very much!

Oh and btw it’s the 218, 276, and 272.

Glad I could bring back such good memories! It is a grand collection of railroad history! (If you are so inclined, I have an entire video series of all the rolling stock to be found at Union Station.)

Yep. (Well, it is one massive marketing campaign after all. At least it also benefits heritage railroads.) And thank you.

@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum but the AEG voice doesnt fit in the CGI model, if they could they do a AEG model i believe for this, right? (I dont wanna sound so agressive, sorry if it does heheh)

@@darkieproductionsmusic It is much easier (cheaper) to reuse existing assets and substitute the voice. I believe the face has also been exchanged on these non-powered units to reflect the voice, but I could easily be mistaken.

Thank you!

Absolutely! Especially when going at speed! (I have shots of that, too, that I’ll post in another video.) I spend all day down there filming and it was glorious!

​@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum you wanna know something? The 3 times I filmed 2 on the ground departing, the whistle was so loud and powerful that it scared the hell out of my mom constantly especially when it's in idle, she was not expecting the whistle to be powerful but I did

@@adventuresofamtrakcascades301 I must admit myself I wasn’t expecting such a powerful whistle myself; though I did not jump when I learned my error. That “little” engine certainly can and is not to be underestimated!

​@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum you know what they say, never overlook a little engine

Thanks. That reversal with passengers is rare and the town of day rarer still.

Thank you.

Thanks! It was running very late and I had tried (and failed) to catch it coming in. Glad I waited around.

Indeed. So stupid, too.

Indeed it is! Was a pleasure to film and experience in person.

Thank you!

@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum your welcome!

Awesome! Glad to hear they get around so often!

I believe I’ve seen her many times over the years. She’s very exact in her orders regarding safety. As someone who done volunteer work myself, I know the feeling when you’ve reached your limit with people’s obliviousness and stupidity… and deliberately ignoring you. If you heard how many time she and others had to keep telling people, often the same people, to get off the tracks because the train was about to start or was a crossing away on approach, you’d be unsurprised if she started cracking head… she didn’t, of course, but you’d not blame her.

@@TrainsFilmedByRussellBynum oh don’t get me wrong, I completely understand. I’m an active member of many social organizations and have a job in public service so I get it 100%, especially with my understanding and experiences regarding railroading. People are very ignorant and stupid around railroad tracks, as seen in my big boy 4014 chase video about 1/4 the way through. In that scene a man is seen less than 3 foot from the railroad track and despite my clear warnings didn’t move. I moved my camera set-up deliberately so if he was struck, I wouldn’t get hit by…. Whatever was left. Fortunately he didn’t get hit, but alls I mean to say is: I get it! God bless her for being a great helper to those railroaders!! Keep up the great work my friend, I subscribed!

Wow. I’ll have to check that out. And thank you for the subscribe!

I haven’t. They have their own videos I’ve already uploaded. Feel free to check them out. You will find them readily in my recent upload list. You’ll find them all and more in my ORHC playlist, including Nickel Plate Road 170.

To my knowledge, it is still Doyle McCormack. While retired from Union Pacific (2017) and from President of ORHF (2019), he is still active with SP 4449, NPR 170, and of course the installation of the Brooklyn Turntable. No where do I find anything about his hanging over the reigns as engineer of SP 4449; though doubtless that will happen sooner or later. I’m sure when he does, there will be unequivocal evidence of it; but as of a June 2022 East PDX News article, he is stated as “still a loyal crew member of the historic SP 4449 locomotive”.

They absolutely save lives by their swiftness. Glad yours was one of them.

It is worth the trip! By then, it will have a new addition to its ranks: Mount Emily Shey #1! Plus, the Brooklyn Turntable should be nearly finished (if not completed)!
