Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In 1955, veteran ATSF engineer Dr. Kelley Skeet faces his last run on a beaten up yet unbeaten Texas class steam locomotive, the 3829. Coupled up to the point of a lower-class, extremely late express train, Skeet aims to make the run to Los Angeles the best one he's ever made, even if it means a brush or two with certain disaster.
Recut, reformatted, and rerecorded with newer technology, the award winning short film is back!

the fact this was filmed with models is amazing
When the railroads dieselized they had to adjust the "gauge spread" of the track in curves. The diesels used a short-wheelbase truck and smaller diameter wheels. With their long wheelbases and big driving wheels, the steam locomotives required a "spread" (widening of the curves) to allow the steam locomotives to stay on the track in curves. Also diesels weren't (and aren't) as top-heavy as steam locomotives so less "superelevation" (banking) was required to keep the motive power from rolling over in fast curves.
I’ve been looking for this for like 3 years
My father drove an engine like that when she got scraped he missed her a whole lot
Which locomotive was it? (if you know the railroad (way) and number, that's really all I would need)
Epilogue. After his retirement from the Santa Fe, Dr Skeet lived a quiet life with his wife in Pasadena, California before passing away in his sleep in 1979. He is survived by his son, daughter in law, their children, and grandchildren. Following its retirement from mainline service, 3829 sat in a deadline outside of Needles, California until being sold to a scrapyard in 1962. What happened afterwards has become one of the most well known mysteries in Californian Railroading. On August 8 1962, 3829 was placed dead in train on an orange growers special bound for Bakersfield, and was meant to be set out in Los Angeles to be broken up. Upon reaching the yard, it was found that the locomotive was no longer a part of the consist. Subsequent testimonies by the employees responsible for the train swore that the locomotive had been a part of their consist as far as the Techaipi loop, but had not had visual confirmation since ascending the hill. Because of his attachment to the locomotive, Dr. Skeet was interviewed by local law enforcement, and was found to have been visiting family in Michigan during the week in question. As of this writing the only tangible piece of evidence that could point the way to the locomotive is a story that Dr Skeets Grandson told to NBC ten years after his grandfathers death. In it, he claims that his grandfathers fireman, and conductor bribed the crew of the special to set the locomotive out on a siding that connected to a shuttered ore mine deep in the mountains. The grandson went on to state that he overheard Dr Skeet, ask both of them “Is it done?” Both the conductor firemen said: “She’s safe.” “Nobodies gonna find her for a hundred years.” Both employees passed away just before the story was aired to the public. With subsequent searches conducted by scores of amateurs and professionals coming away empty handed and the increasingly destructive weather systems that have ravaged the state in the subsequent decades it is unlikely any new clues to the engines whereabouts will be discovered, and the fate of old 3829 shall never be known.
This a very nicely done video. I enjoyed the animation and the plot with its drama and suspense!
It was reminiscent of a Hollywood movie from the 40s and 50s.
Nicely done remastering this video!
Nice. My friend has a HO 3829 and It can pull 16 feet like it’s nothing.
That, Was an incredibly suspenseful, and emotional, little story. Well Done!
I got to ask. What company made this texas (the model)
Look's like a hybrid between an ATSF 2-10-2 and 2-10-4.
Its a broadway limited model
@@ClassyDeerBoi It was part of the ATSF 3800 Class 2-10-2 Santa Fe's, but was fitted with a four-wheel trailing truck instead of one with two wheels as an experiment
Love how the end result came out.
this is the best thing since sliced cheese
Where did you get the audio of the ATSF 6 chime whistle at 5:49? If you don’t mind me asking? That whistle sounds awesome!
Sound's like it's from Texas State Railroad 300. Since she has an A.T.&.S.F. 6 Chime.
Very well done story using models, Brian! Nice looking layout as well. 😊
This brings back memories, I used to reenact this video on the bus when I was a kid and pretend that it is a Santa Fe steam locomotive.
What's the name of the song at 5:17? It just fits so well with the entire chase sequence before Skeet dumps the air.
This engine to my knowledge has been preserved in real life
This specific locomotive wasn't preserved. However, there are several other ATSF Texas types still around today, including Madame Queen (ATSF 5000)
Was this based off a real event?
I love that he said that her jobs were left to the war babies. Because the Santa Fe 2-10-4s were war babies.
Only the 5011 class, 3829 was a rebuilt 2-10-2, and 5000 and the 5001 class were both built before the war.
He probably meant the 2900s.
The Arctic Gamer thanks for the info
Steam engines scraped, ☹️

I see the same set from old the final arrival
Why would they put a 2-10-4 on passenger duty rather than a 4-8-4?
In true fashion, it was the only thing sitting at the station that still worked. ;)
@@HighIron oh.
ATSF used their large drivered 2-10-4s on passenger trains.
@@kitchenjail3546 Probably only for important events that involved passenger trains (and if they were available)
Is Brian himself narrating this I think it’s another UA-camd I know but not 💯
Doc Is voiced from Anthony form San Juan
In comparison to the model series of Thomas and tank engine and friends, I actually found this to be quite entertaining. If there were unique voice actors and more twists in the story, this would make an epic series like when Thomas was it's prime in the 80s and 90s. Only the model series though, no CGI. But I get it. This kind of content is just so resource, energy, and money intensive.
I believe I know this layout... Or what used to be this layout. :(
What happened to 3932?
First, the number was 3829, and second, it was cut up for scrap in the mid 1950's
5:48, that's my favorite crossing whistle I've ever heard.
Wow, is this based off a true story?
Pretty awesome story, also I wonder what and/or where this model layout is?
This is one heck of a video.
I was skeptical about this video at first but I have to say I enjoyed it. Reminds me of Thomas the Tank Engine.
what happened to the real 3829 though?
most likely scrapped
@@MiddletownBranchProd. That's exactly what happened to it (along with the other 3800 Class 2-10-2's)
@@NW2174Fan yea
Was 3829 saved
Sadly it wasn't
Too bad this engine was scrapped
Joey the Blue A3 it actually was not
@@RanchOfficial wait are you saying the locomotive still exists or was it scrapped later
@@RanchOfficial Sadly she was in 1955.
Hey but we got 5011
@@joenayrikafletcher738 and 5000
What happen to the original?
It was scrapped :(
I wish it was still up, I mean the remastered is okay, but the original was much more exciting and the music was more appropriate. From my view anyway. But still.
@@oddjob1795 oh wait, I thought you were talking about 3829 :/
Well that and the original vid.
Any chance of it be reuploaded?
I personally think that this would be really cool if you could remake this in trainz.
