Great video of the Lima built GS-4 4-8-4 locomotive number4449 that pulled many Southern Pacific trains in Daylight colors still runs & pulls excursion trains, The Southern Pacific Daylight GS-4 Locomotive and the Norfolk & Western J Class 4-8-4 locomotive number 611 which the Norfolk & Western Railroad built themselves also pulls excursion trains. Both of those 4-8-4 steam locomotives are my most favorite steam locomotives.

It's a Mars Light. Sort of a secondary warning and it oscillates in a figure-8 pattern to create a flash.
My four year old grand nephew Oliver loves this video, he's a train junkie :)
Great shot!
very beautiful video - lovely pov........
regards from india......
Nice perspective.
Has the quality of a 2017 camera wow
Its needed to power individual cars, that steamer is pulling the train AND that amtrak on its own power.
that mars light though...
I used a Canon 5D Mark 2 witha Canon 17-35 f2.8 Lens at 17 mm. on a tripod.
I Iike the whistle.
am i the only one who notices that the mars light looks like an 'eye' looking around?
no
Can anyone explain the bouncy light on the front please
Hugh Munro mars light its like a warming light
What type of camera did you use to make this excellent video?
why are all these steamers having diesels pushing them any more? has the steamers wore out that bad they can't pull anything on their own anymore?
They usually have diesels behind them for electricity for the passenger cars (and of course in case something goes wrong with her).
chris dav I do agree I don't like it but oh well
is it too weak? is that why it need the diesel?
The diesel is for powering the passenger cars
How come a 13 yro video has the quality of a 1 or 2yro video
