It was very cool excursion trip with Frisco 1522. On going. It’s kinda sad that the locomotive isn’t possibly returning back to service anytime soon. Coolness. It’s another beautiful locomotive.
Frisco 1522 has been one of my favorite locomotives of all time. Without of doubt, Frisco 1522 is still one of the most recognizable and most famous steam excursion locomotives in the US. It would be fantastic to see her back on the rails again. Although, it maybe not going to happen anytime soon. Hopefully I'm wrong, all the above great video.
57:20 That statement would definitely make the front page of r/agedlikemilk. Though, I don't think her running again is impossible. But funding and manufacturing a new flue sheet to replace her bad one is hard, but I do not think that that's impossible. That or maybe I'm just a bit too hopeful and not drowned in despair like everyone else.
To be fair, the shops at the strasburg railroad could possibly make a new one. I toured the shop in June and they can make basically anything. There’s a reason railroads like the GSMR, N&S, Etc. send their locomotives to strasburg. It can happen, it’s just very hard and expensive
I remember when watching this as a child I wanted to see this engine in operation so badly. Sadly, I’d learn in 2018 at the age of 16 that it retired in September 2002 just 8 months after I was born as I was born in January 2002. I still hope to see this engine someday as 1522 is my sixth favorite steam locomotive and it sure is a shame she’ll likely never run again as the Museum of Transportation has stated many times it doesn’t want to lease or sell the engine as not only has it been a big part of St. Louis history but its flue sheet is cracked and would need to be replaced.
The chances are very unlikely. As I said, the museum doesn’t want to get rid of it, sell it or lease it out to someone to use it. Hell, it doesn’t even have a place to run so rebuilding it to operational again wouldn’t be worth it if you ask me.
Hey Folks, Sorry I missed the Premiere, because I was too excited to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie that night and I enjoy the Mario Movie and Frisco #1522, See you on Sunday for Santa Fe Mainline Memories
Mark my words.... I know that hopefully one day... Frisco 1522 can get the chance to run again once more. :) I mean... she is getting ever closer to reaching her 100th birthday in 2026. ;)
Unfortunately, the National Museum of Transportation has stated that a return to service is not possible, largely due to the locomotive's flue sheet being damaged beyond repair. A new one would have to be fabricated, and new flues would be needed before another steam-up.
@@andrewcrumb8027 I'm aware of that time and time again. :/ But I'm still hoping and dream no matter what for 1522. She is My No. 1 Favorite Steam Locomotive after all. Cause after all... there are those that also agree with me in hoping 1522 can run again once more, seeing that they also have her at No. 1 as well.
@@jimmyhook4852 I know. I hope that 1522 will run again too. I didn't mean to upset you. It's just that the museum needs money to pay for the new boiler flues and flue sheet for the locomotive.
She retired from excursion service in 2002 due to rising insurance costs, repair costs and lack of access to the mainline which lead to the SLSTA discontinue running it. That and they also didn’t want to allow new members to join them which is kinda a big reason they are no longer around.
It was fun while it lasted, but we do have other steam trains that run excursion trips like UP Big Boy 4014 in 2021, and Nickel Plate 765 in the early 1990’s and other scheduled excursions in this century.

it was in St. Louis Missouri that frisco 1522 is on the run!!! Good for her!!!
1522 is at National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri
I saw Frisch 1522 at the museum in St Louis last year. She was beautiful.
I love Frisco 1522! What a beauty. I love her whistle sound as well.
I've seen the preview for this program but never got the chance to see it entirely, so this will be a special treat for me!

1522 will live on as the only mountain type to be used on excursions. long live the frisco 🥂
I still have my hopes for her to still keep that title one day.
I hope so
CN 6060 was Also used, not sure beyond that but other mountain types have been used besides just her.

I guess with enough time & money, this Mountain type will run again.

@@andrewcrumb8027 Yeah
I wonder if funds can be made for the boiler flue and flue sheet. I also wonder of the cost these flues in the past and in today’s money.
I wonder what happened to Frisco 1522 today.
It’s at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri.
She retired from excursion service in 2002 due to rising insurance costs, repair costs and lack of access to the mainline which lead to the SLSTA discontinue running it. That and they also didn’t want to allow new members to join them which is kinda a big reason they are no longer around.

Frisco 1522 louis.
very informative comment
Operating before 2002
Can the Frisco 1630 run on the mainline outside of the Illinois railroad museum
No. It is land locked at IRM
OK but it's not fair that the Nebraska Zephyr gets to run on the mainline but the 1630 can't@@Mike_Squires
@@troy4579 the SGF will not allow that engine off site.
