Such amazing celebration great to see my old friend wearing the number when I first met her back in the 90s even though the front appearance was different as when I met 400 she had her headlight centered in the middle of her smoke box front but very great to see my third oldest friend in steam locomotion wearing her Older Texas State Railroad number celebrating the Railroad’s 50th anniversary in grand style

Outstanding video Aaron! The hard work repainting 30 into 400 really payed off!

Another awesome video Aaron! Love seeing this paint scheme again. And the old drum head on 1511! Nice touch! I wish they’d show some love to those coach roofs. Is 28/300 still undergoing its running gear rebuild?

Excellent footage! Hoping to go down there this summer.

[@aaronmccreight_trains-tractor]

Is the 400 going on its overhaul?

[@reidthenavyengineproductio7002]

Going to see it painted like this on the 4th.

[@aaronmccreight_trains-tractor]

Awesome!

[@RailfanDude610]

What kind of whistle is on 400? It sounds very pleasant!

[@Bluebonnet_W_3162]

That's a Lunkenheimer 6" 3 Chime! A very smooth sounding whistle

[@EveningStar92220]

How do you find the schedule for the TSRR? The website only seems to say the departure time, so do you just get there an hour before then? I try and visit as often as i can but i always have the worst luck, and always end up just seeing it leave.
