Santa Fe 2926: First Mainline Run in 70 Years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Earlier this year we witnessed AT&SF 2926 make its first run out of the NMHR restoration site and under its own power since 1953. Now we’ll see the engine make it’s first run on the mainline.
The engine went to the two-day New Mexico Railroad Days 2023 event just South of the Alvarado Transportation Center in downtown Albuquerque. Also on display was the tool car (NMSX 3939), A BNSF ET44C4 (3695), and Amtrak’s Operation Lifesaver unit (203)
The first shot early in the morning is at Lomas Blvd. right outside the Burger King. The next is the same location just across the tracks now, and we finish off with 2926 going down the Sawmill Spur across 5th St.

My 100 year grandfather who worked for the Santa Fe Railroad, was 30 years old when 2926 last ran. 70 years later, I took him to see the engine yesterday! Great work they have done!
😊👍
What a bohemoth 2926 must be, I love the whistle!!
I love the sound of this whistle on 2926 and 3751! California her we come!
Mazel Tov !!! We now gotz 2 beautiful Northerns / FEFs plying the rails again !!! A joy to behold, for damned sure !!!
Cannot wait to be on a train pulled by this magnificent locomotive!!!
Beautiful work by everyone involved!
Santa Fe 2926 is handsome and massive masterpiece of a steam locomotive and I glad to see this engine back in service again after 70 years. I am looking forward to seeing engine 2926 hauling passenger excursion trains across New Mexico and hopefully, this type of action will happen in 2024 as I am eager to see 2926 hauling a mainline passenger train.
Historic! I miss ATSF!!
Whoa did anyone notice that explosion on 2926 where the fire box is?? 1:00
I noticed it too. What in the world was that?
@@Corneli-l8ridk but at least 2926 is fine
I've operated an auxiliary package boiler that had problems with its atomizing air / steam system. When atomizing pressure to the burner was lost the fire would go out and come back a few seconds later with a big baWHOOOM that made the burner end wall flex outward - scary stuff when you're standing right there next to it, at ground zero!
Most likely, 2926 had a fuel delivery glitch to the burner or a problem with the atomizing steam system, perhaps a slug of water.
Oh
@@Corneli-l8rnothing exciting, just fuel igniting. Standard stuff on an oil-burner.
If the sound of that steam whistle doesn't touch your soul,then, you don't have one.❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
They restored it and ran it on the mainline. GOBBLES
THE mainline!
Very good as allways, Salutations de France
3:51
It's strange the things we find beautiful. But that looks incredible to me.
ATSF #2926 back on the mainline after 70 years. Heck yeah. Paves the way for future mainline excursions with ATSF #2926
I've watched a couple of these and most of the restoration videos over the years and I'm over it. IF and I say IF they ever decide to make an excursion run and someone videos it I'll watch, but I've seen more than enough of it puttering about.
bye 👋🏼
all aboard 2926
At least 2926 kept moving after that little explosion.
Is 3751 and 2926 from the same class or separate orders?
Separate classes. Locomotive #3751 is a class 3751 4-8-4 built in 1927, while #2926 is a class 2900 built in 1944.
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 cool cool. What’s the class model number for there northerns? Like the model designation description it’s usually like a letter and a number
@@jwrailve3615 No. 3751 is a heavy mountain class
Is it me or does 2926's whistle have a different tone to it at 3:29?
Boiler temperature most likely, probably adjusted the steam flow from the regulator (looks like a dome, you can see it at 1:34 just under the clouds and just behind the numbers) to the cylinders when it was really moving.
Pretty heavy mikado
No, it's a Northern type
What was the flame explosion at 1:00?
firebox backfired
American trains are the best on earth.
well best for freight design while brits are the best for passenger design
Is this an articulated engine
I agree!! This engine has a very good vocabulary!! This engine is very articulate!
Not really
No.
theres is not a single northern arrangement type locomotives being articulated, just because its big does not mean they are articukated
@@robertkensler2156 no they arent buddy
but why we need all of this
Because steam locomotives still prove to be intriguing to generations young and old. It’s important to preserve these artifacts as they helped build the United States. For many years, steam locomotives have hauled people and freight from coast to coast. They even helped the U.S. haul troops and military vehicles during WWI and WWII. Today, the locomotive has the potential to haul excursion trains out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This massive steam locomotive will draw railfans worldwide, boosting tourism in the land of enchantment.
