Really nice video. I especially liked the prep scenes in the beginning. You could almost smell the oil and coal. On a different note though, anyone know what those things on the poles are in the yard at 18:45?
+Randy Chadwick Actually, there is no coal. This engine burns a liquid fuel, rather than the coal she burned when in service on the Southern. She has been competently restored, with a new boiler and new tender. Well done, MRM volunteers! Keep up the outstanding work!
Great video. Always liked trains, especially steam.
Fantastic video; well done!
Thank you very much for the feedback. Have a good day.
Superb work, Luke! I hope to make it out to Monticello to see #401 sometime.

How often does this locomotive run once a month?????????????????????
I love it when I discover new American steamers that I love. What museum was this? Are there any other locomotives there?
Also does anyone else realize that this is Southern 401 and there's also Southern 4501?
It's at the Monticello Railway Museum. Last time I looked, it was the only steam engine they had running. Have about 3 diesel engines. www.mrym.org/
