Indeed :) Along with having a living and breathing Union Pacific Big Boy in operation since 2019, things are sure looking up for steam revival :3 Let's hope the same can apply to a steam locomotive that is No. 1 for me: Frisco 1522 :3
That is so freaking pretty. Both my great-gpa, my gpa & my mom all three worked for the Santa Fe. About 72 years & 6 months combined service between the 3. 30 years, 29 years & 6 months and 13 years, respectively.
I am eager to see ATSF engine 2926 start pulling excursion passenger trains throughout New Mexico now that it it has been restored back to operation again.
I had a dream, a beautiful dream. One day all the sirens of American locomotives hit and finally there was peace and quiet, and the beautiful sounds of the machine working and not that fucking noise every 3 seconds for damn sure what for.
Okay @Fan Railer... in one of your RRHMA Donation Special videos, you had the video length being 55:11 which of course matched one of the locomotives that the group in Silvis, IL obtained. :) And now shown here in one of your 2926 videos, you now have the video length being 29:26 ! :D Seriously.... how do you even do that? XD
@@FanRailer Nice :) In some ways it kind of reminds me of K&L Trainz whenever the promo videos for new content reaches a certain length :3 For example.... the N&W J Northern Pack promo had the video length being 6:11 and with of course 611 herself being the star of the promo. ;)
Very nice overall! I lament the loss of the old No. 8 brake equipment, but the installation of the 26 is well done. On an historical note, what old diesel-electric sacrificed the 26L stand? Nice cab interview and some very good questions were asked and good answers provided.
The brake stand did not necessarily have to come off a diesel. It could have just been new old stock, or a spare lying around in a shop somewhere that was donated. 26L brakes are so common, they’re a dime a dozen.
@@FanRailer well, you are correct -- but it could have also come from a scrapped D-E. Since we no longer have the historic 8EL equipment, I was just curious about the "history" of the new brake stand. And, I'd still like to know. I guess working as a railroader for 42 years and being a power braker and air artist will do that to one. I am as big of a fan of air brakes as I am the locomotives themselves.
I got to say, it's great to see her running.
The age of steam locomotive revival is here! What a glorious time to be alive.

That one has been on display for over two decades now.
Amen 🚂
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 And her 100th is coming up. :)
Cant wait to see this big steam locomotive on the mainline
The 20+ years of restoration work was worth it. Great job 2926 group!

She looks and sounds incredible!
The 3 chime steam whistle is amazing
Correction: It's actually a 6 chime.
Nice you got the cab tour on video!
Nice! It was so awesome seeing her running yesterday! Looking forward to potential mainline excursions later on.
00:11 She lives!
The return of steam has been resurrected

Still a long way, but at least it’s on the move again!

haha it's not terribly difficult. Just have more footage than the target length, then cut it down while editing.

Awesome. I was wondering when 2926 would run again
Impressionante como são lindas!!
Her whistle sounds similar to the SP 6 chime that the 4449 once sported.
That's because it's also a 6 chime although with ATSF's specific chord. 4449 is also at 300 psi giving it that slightly higher note!
I just realized that the length of this video is 29:26 lol
Funny
That ol' lady's back to her prime!

Haha nice. And yea, I get the sentiment behind the curiosity. I feel much the same about whistles.
Primeira aqui...like
I think that's kindacircle at 23:22.
yes it was
Wow, incredible locomotive. Is this loco the same class as 3751? Excellent video 👍👍
Thanks. No, the 2900 class was quite different from the 3751.
It's basically his younger, but heavier sister.
What's left to be done?
just curious how do you know what events for these trains are coming up? so i can witness it myself
The timestamp must be a Coincidence
Even the length of your video has 2926 that’s funny
;)
I noticed it as well. ;)
A little generous to call a 1 mile move an excursion, but still good to see either way
For the most part, we call that a test run or shakedown run.
Just moving outside of her yard under her own power was a logistical miracle. The twenty year restoration was the cheap and easy part.
@@jimmyhook4852 I know, but yeah it basically is.
