There is much to say about this video, but all of them are good in my opinion. To start off I do find it a little wholesome, that at least the final remanent of a Rock Island northern is in actual use behind pier Marquette 1225, at least isn’t a total loss. At least it actually does serve a purpose in preservation. I have to say I did not know that they were two Canadian pacific northern’s and it’s quite unusual for all members of a single class of locomotive to survive when there is more than one engine in a class even if they were only two of them in this case. Also on the Spokane and Seattle 700 engine, I think I saw the tender on that locomotive have a Burlington northern paint scheme and emblem, which I think looks pretty cool. My favorite locomotive on this list either is Union Pacific 844 because of its distinction of being the only American steam locomotive still in active service to this day or it would be 4449 because of its history with the freedom train. (also, I like the I love Toy trains reference with the freedom train song by James coffee) 611 is pretty close as well due to being a streamliner alongside 4449. It is really a shame We didn’t get to see a Niagara in preservation because I guarantee that would’ve been an excursion star right There. Also, I have an idea for a video you could make at some point and this one would be ambitious. You could make a 15 words or less video about every single North American streamlined steam locomotive. There are a lot of obscure ones that people don’t really remember such as the Chattanooga and St. Louis streamlined steam locomotive city of Memphis and another streamliner, called the firefly which was in a blue and silver paint scheme, which I believe was in service around Texas, but I don’t remember what its railroad was. There was also a locomotive that is a streamlined Hudson from the Chesapeake and Ohio that surprisingly survived and is at the Baltimore and Ohio railroad museum right now although it’s never been restored to operation. I was a little surprised to find out that it survived considering it seems like it was pretty obscure back in the day. Of course the New York Central Commodore Vanderbilt, Empire State express, and Dreyfuss Hudsons would have to be referenced along with the lesser well-known streamlined New York Central mercury 4-6-2 Pacific. Southern pacific also had some streamlined Hudsons that look vaguely similar to the daylight. There was also an Erie railroad semi streamlined locomotive that was a late 4-4-0 and I suspect it might’ve been one of the last ones ever built but I cannot know for certain. Then, of course the two surviving streamlined excursion stars 611 and 4449 would have to be mentioned. An honorable mention could go to the LNER A4 streamliners due to the fact that two examples of the class are on North American soil, specifically dominion of Canada, which is on display in Canada and Dwight D Eisenhower, which is at the national railroad museum in Wisconsin, which I’ve seen by the way.
The Northern Pacific Railway was the very first railroad to ever use 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotives (the wheel arrangement was actually named after the NP, as a matter of fact). There were 5 different classes of Northerns built for Northern Pacific, and they were all very good. Sady, none of the NP's Northerns were preserved, as they were all scrapped. However, we do have SP&S 700 today, and her class (the E-1) was the exact same type of locomotive as the A-3 class used by NP (the E-1's burned oil, and the A-3's burned coal). That means that SP&S 700 is the closest that we have to a Northern Pacific Northern in the modern day.

6213! My boi! Pain in the ass to us on the TRM traincrew cause there are some parts of the museum grounds that we can't go or else it will literally fall through the ground into a parking garage... But it remains our most prized possession.
Our 'Goat' class GN 2584 has the largest drivers you could buy, hence there insane speeds from engine crews I've talked to. It may be evaluated for restoration. I've talked to Steve, who is the president of the group.
Someone remembered the Big Apples and ACL R-1’s finally. For your 2-8-4 video hopefully you include the weird B&A berks that wound up on the TAG Ry since no one seems to remember that
HOLY CRAP My comment was pinned and showed in the video that is Awesome. Love your channel. Great video, please keep this up. Your hard work pays off. 👍 ❤️
@@harrisonofcolorado8886Sorry. But I wanted to add the fact one is in the US awaiting overhaul. And for a time NdeM had articulated steamers, so... They weren't the biggest
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 It's quite strange that there's not much information about the Mexican engines, heck we don't even know how ICRR 638 looked like in her time in Mexico
Reuploaded due to editing error. But anyways, if this video can get to 150 likes, then I will for sure make the 2-8-4 Berkshire video!

Glad to see another installment in the series, once again highlighting many forgotten northern classes out there.
4:45 Not to mention these are the Zeniths of all 4-8-4 locomotives and challenged the efficiency of the diesel locomotive
I got my own for a couple

2:12 Atlantic Coast Line 😎
2:34 Central of Georgia😎
2:49 ah yes, C&NW's unique comically large marslight for the H-1s.
3:00 Rock Island R-67🔥 lionel made MPC era o gauge models of these.
3:37 M-64 and M-68s
4:29 Missouri Pacific 😎👍
4:34 NC&STL J-2s😎😎😎
5:27 Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac 😎😎
5:34 Gs-1 northerns, the Texas & New Orleans engine that most people forgot about. 702 there is actually a T&NO engine!
4:03 That is quite a jingle. This is why Milwaukee Road is my favorite!
@@kyletroknya2419 I honestly wanted to do more than just put the "the Milwaukee Road" audio, and I couldn't resist using that song.
6213! My boi! Pain in the ass to us on the TRM traincrew cause there are some parts of the museum grounds that we can't go or else it will literally fall through the ground into a parking garage... But it remains our most prized possession.
That is gonna be my early birthday present. But oh boy, I’m excited!
thanks for including the GS-1s and the Pocono's
they never get that much attention other then crappy oc's
thats why I enjoy your videos :D
10/10
The C&NW engines had mars lights like the NKP berkshires did in service. So did the CB&Q O-5 class engines.
W upload
Harris would you do New York Central Steam Complition Please.
@@maxwellwalcher6420 maybe
I’ve been in the cab of 261 and I even have some coal from her tender
Great video, dude!!! :D

5:37 my favorite part of the video. For no obvious reasons whatsoever. lol 😂
Someone remembered the Big Apples and ACL R-1’s finally. For your 2-8-4 video hopefully you include the weird B&A berks that wound up on the TAG Ry since no one seems to remember that
4-8-4 was like The King Of Wheel Arrangements btw can't wait for one about 4-6-4
you should do this video but with 2-8-2's (especially the southern pacific ones)
Very nice!
My favorite 4-8-4 Northern of all (which is my favorite steam locomotive ever), is Santa Fe 3751
I own a piece of SP 4449
The western pacific got gs-6s because of the war production board diverting some of them from the espee during ww2
3:54 and trying to convince itself the accident wasn't its fault since 1945 🤣
4:33 NC&STL MENTIONED!!!

WERES THE TOUGH GUY REFERENCE WITH 4449
2:58 I’m standing next to a HUGE WEEWEE!
You outta do every type of 4-6-2 next.
@@Iliketrains444 I will, but I'm gonna make the 2-8-4 video first though.
@@harrisonofcolorado8886too awesome
every 2-8-4s, N O W!
I really want to make one just like your video but with 4-6-2s instead. What do you think?
@@BnuuyBoi2005 I was gonna make my own 4-6-2 video at some point, but go ahead I guess.
You forgot one. I'll break it for you.
