There is probably a "Train Drivers POV" video in here somewhere. The driver and his assistant (Engineer and Fireman in USA speak) have a serious lot of work to do to keep this toy running right. I bet some people would like to see a portion of this. And I don't THINK it would fall under the NS no-see-um rule. The road from this train to a FLIRT is a long road. Over all I think it's good we took that road. But there is a strange majesty in some of these old steam engines. One advantage of living where I do was visiting Big Boy when he was parked at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. L and I saw its final move out onto the mainline to take it off for repair and rebuild. Now THAT is serious machinery! I had my handheld ham radio equipment that happened to tune to RR frequencies for listening. That added to the party. {^_^}
@@CabviewHolland I don't know how to describe it. Words simply fail me even if the Big Boy as I saw him was a wounded bird. (Something so big has to be masculine.) The engine alone is heavier than three times what Wikipedia says is the heaviest FLIRT "loco". It takes 28 short tons of coal to fill the tender. Then you add nearly 100 kL of water to complete it's load. It's all so large it makes everything near it, even the Diesel locomotive that came to take him away for refit and repair. I'd love to see him fly by someday under full steam working (mostly) the way his designers intended. That must be indescribably awesome. He is the limit of how far steam technology was ever pushed, the true King of the Road. On the other hand, I've also always loved the electrics like the GG-1. They just didn't work economically in much of the US. Electricity is absurdly expensive in California, for example. (Nobody wants generating stations of any nearby, we have too few reliable rivers for water power, and we have an insane government that forces the purchase of electricity as needed at the highest premium cost. So we get Diesel locomotives that are huge, ill maintained, stinky, and noisy.) {O.O}
Tip:op de landgrens Duitsland Denemarken Jutland/Jylán.rijden ze door het wat met 70cm spoor,10 tallen kilometers lang,ook voor touristen.het is maar een weet Mr Vincent.
