18:31 Start of the Sierra Railway #3, AKA, the Polar Express whistle! Quite literally my favorite steam engine whistle of all time! Thanks for including the tiny but might train with a strong whistle! Love it so much CoasterFan!
I grew up in Fort Bragg, California, and used to see #45 all the time. As a teenager, I was part of the model railroad club that operates a layout in a building right next to the depot, and on weekends I'd bring my model trains and help run the layout. When #45 was running, I'd always go outside when I heard it coming and feel the ground shake as it rolled by, not 20 feet from where I stood. I recent moved a long way away, and this video brings back memories. Man, I miss the Skunk Train.
I just want to say a big thank you for posting this footage. My little boy is obsessed with trains and he watches these on a daily basis with such joy. We don't live in an area where we have year-round access to steam trains like this, so being able to see it on UA-cam is a treat for him, especially in the cold months when the train museums are closed.
One of the very best vids I've seen on steam trains! The term "galore" is most appropriate. The variety is astounding : wood- and coal-burning locos (and the appropriate chimney!), 2- and 4-cylinders and geared locos, genuine 4-4-0 American and 4-6-0 ten-wheelers, all types of old cars.. A regal! Thanks CoasterFan!
Whoever put all the time and effort into this series: THANK YOU. This is my son's favorite series and we use it to get him to brush teeth every night. My husband and I have really come to enjoy watching the trains too!
Absolutely magnificent! Not a dull moment if you like steam trains. Beautiful American landscapes add to the pleasure. Superb to watch on my new 75"TV. I hope there is more coming. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Australia.
Wow! This is absolutely fabulous! I have always bemoaned the fact that camcorders came along only after steam locomotives disappeared. Thanks to UA-cam, I can view these beauties again.
My 2 year old son loves trains (real ones not cartoons) and he watches this video every morning. I thought it would be boring, but sat with him to watch it and it is very well made, interesting and has prompted me to look in to some travel-by-train vacations. Thanks!
My son absolutely loves all of Mike Armstrong’s train videos!! My husband and I actually enjoying watching them too. Thanks for all the effort in creating a wholesome form of entertainment for our family. Chooo chooooo!
Brings back very special and unique memories of riding and blaring horns on old steam locomotives. Let me just say these were rare privileged moments from the sixties. To be able to ride with the engineer and coal feeder on these huge, power monsters as a kid in his preteens, my most thrilling moment had to be when I could blast the loud horn by pulling the string (rope) overhead at will. Only when approaching a blind corner, unmanned crossings and the train stations he told me but I just couldn't resist doing it at will. He just laughed at my young mischievousness and the chuckle it brought from me. I still love the sound of the whistle (horn) when one goes by.

Wonderful video tour of steam railway. Exhilerating, life giving ..... something wonderful from the olden times. A feast for the eyes .....such heritage steam railways are no less than a moving museum!
Love all of the videos of the steam locomotives. I'm from a small town in Tennessee and we at one time had a steam train and it was called number 1 of the clinchfield railroad. But when CSX came in here we lost our little steam train. I wish the people and the town would get it back home ☹️☹️😡😡
I’m very familiar with Clinchfield’s little number 1 my father told me many stories about her. She was a beautiful little ten-wheeler with a silver smokebox and brass domes and she pulled a B unit behind her which was disguised as a passenger car. She now sits in the B&O museum on display with her cab open to visitors.
One story my dad told me was his first encounter with the little engine. When he was a little boy and he was heading over the bridge to Blacksburg SC he spotted the little engine sitting in the yard and he lost his mind nearly causing his mother to wreck the car. my father has taken me over that bridge and told me exactly what it was like and what his reaction was and it’s always a story that makes me feel like a little kid again.
Ah well, who could have imagined America was this beautiful? Old West trains restored to their former glory. Beautiful video. Greetings from Australia.
From Australia. I wished we kept our steam locos. Most of them are in mothballs and are too costly to run on mainline routes. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
tony brimson Thank you, glad you liked it. There still are a number of neat steam railway operations in Australia you should visit if you haven't already.
You had some amazing shots of the Inyo, she is a real beauty, hopefully in 2015, you can film the Nevada State Railroad museums newly restored Glenbrook, a narrow guage locomotive that used to haul wood by Lake Tahoe.
Thank you very much for the video. I love the 3 truck shays and the narrow gauge mountain logging engines. Thanks again. I love steam; the heck with diesels.
+Nick's Train Hobby Channel Thank you very much Nick, I appreciate it. These videos always get hit the hardest. I guess it's just the way things are on this site. By the way, when do you plan on releasing another Big Boy Update video?
CoasterFan2105 Must be easy hits for trolls. It still boosts your stats on YT so it doesn't really effect anything. I use to get upset about dislikes until I learned that. I have not heard anything about Big Boy, except that it might miss the 2019 dead line due to 844 and what is going on with Ed. Speculation as to if UP will even keep the Steam program going, but nothing really video worthy yet. Probably won't be another one till May when they have an open house again.
Very good, I look forward to the update. I'm hopeful that they won't abandon the steam program. That would be disappointing, especially so close to the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental RR.

Sir, thank you so much for posting this wonderful video about those sleek, cast-iron maidens. I've always been plagued that they might discontinue historical tourist sites in which you could ride a locomotive from way back when, however they are still everywhere as one of America's.......mascots. Hopefully the diesels don't take over their positions in history, popular culture, and steam-exibitions! ~Greetings from Tennessee
Tim Mack That first series of clips posed a challenge to me. I realized beforehand that the bell would be an issue, but I did not realize the extent. Unfortunately, that railroad is very hard to photograph, so I elected to shoot it on a special photo excursion. But, on the excursion, they rang the bell for every single run past. I tried to break it up with some on board footage, but that only helped so much. Oh well.
An excellent video. No distraction by music and narration, just strictly the focus on steam trains travelling through areas of California, Nevada, and Colorado--which is exactly I like a video to be.
Thank you for posting this video. Some how you've managed to get all of my favorite steam locomotives on here, and you did a fine job with the camera work as well.

10:26 That Whistle Brings me Back🫡
The steam came out of the side! Looked beautiful!!! Thank you so much for this video! (10:48)
It’s called a boiler blowdown. This is when the locomotive releases a lot of steam to get rid of any sediment that might harm the heating process.
