*You can really sense the POWER here! - **35:17* That last 7 minutes is some of the most soothing stuff I've ever watched. Kind of dozed off watching it. Very ASMR - Thanks
34:55 Not one, but two patched ATSF units passing 3751... had the steam train not been there, those guys would've been the catch of the day for any railfan.
If we ever get hit by another Carrington Event, it’s good to see that some of our electricity independent engines are back in working order! But will we still have access to fuel oil or coal then???
The track speed on this run was 50 m.p.h. We may have reached that for a short time, signals, Form B's, slow orders and passenger traffic made it congested most of the time. @ 29:25 The Engineer holds his hand up with 4 fingers inquiring if the speed is 40 m.p.h. Our crew member holds his hand up replying with 5 fingers indicating 50 m.p.h. Due to the noise, hand signs sometimes is a better way to communicate. Thanks for your comments.
Awesome video! I'm going to sub as soon as I'm done with this comment! Lol Anyways, when a steam loco is behind a diesel loco, is it hard to sync speeds with the 2? Or is there an automatic system? I've been wondering about this for a long time! Lol.
At that time in 2008, vests were not required for engineers on the ground (Which everyone was as volunteers in this event), and to this day, hard hats are not required either.
@@centralnorthcarolinatrucks7472 I've posted this question above, however, can you tell me if it's hard to sync speed with the 2 locos with one being steam and one being diesel electric. Or does the steam push the d/e? Or an automated system? Lol, I'm really into trains but this is something I have no clue about.
@@knowledgeispowermediaprodu7094 that’s ok, the diesel is used to push the steam engine. Along with when it comes down grades it is also used for dynamic breaking coming down hills. Along with having any passenger equipment, it can be used for electricity into the cars. So a small bit of everything haha

I think this was one of the best videos I have ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely awesome!
But never got to see the 3751 running.
Great footage you were sitting in a much envied spot, excellent video! Thanks for posting.

And Also I like The Close up at The 3751's 80 inched drivers. Kinda Remind me of The Opening to Shining time station with Union Pacific 844.

I loved and saved the previous video that included this footage. You produced 2 of my all time favorite videos I have ever watched! Thank you.
best cab ride video I have seen.
Thank You !
The Footage in this video were also used in Above 3751 to San Diego.
You are correct. That was a fun day.
Yeah. Glad you enjoyed it.
New sub. Loved this video.
BEAUTIFUL CAB SHOTS NICE ENGINE ALSO FIREMAN AND ENGIEER WORKING GOOD TOGETHER FROM WALKING THE FIRING VALVE TO ENGIEERS CUT OFF Bill

Can you tell me what your top speed was on this run! It was an AWESOME run! Man, to be on a locomotive like that would be the dream of a lifetime!

Some AMAZING shots! I love it. Was that a little wheel slip at around 42:00?

The diesel is in control of everything, the 3751 in this configuration is basically like a maned helper.
did you work for pentrex? mostly because that footage was us in above 3751 to San Diego and back.
13:40 - I've often wondered why there are random freight cars sitting on a side track as seen here. Any suggestions?
45:45 Is that the American Orient Express on the adjacent track?!
Good eye...Yes it was.
Man these guys were zooming 💨
Kinda weird to hear a defect detector on a steam locomotive.
why isnt anyone on the ground wearing proper ppe. 1 visi vest 2 hard hat 3 only on person is wearing gloves.
At that time in 2008, vests were not required for engineers on the ground (Which everyone was as volunteers in this event), and to this day, hard hats are not required either.
Anyone know why 3751 operates with a BNSF diesel up front?
Jordan Michael It’s for protection when they are on a run.
@@ethanmorel2746 they used to
Use it behind for dynamic breaking and electricity for the passenger cars

@@centralnorthcarolinatrucks7472 If needed for real service Would there would be an easy way to hook up a generator for passenger cars?

Hey, Random RUclips, Can You Upload "Steam Train Engineer" RUclips Videos, Please? :-D
8:26 10:12
So Sweet !
That Engineer 12:00 reminds me
of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse back
in 2008, & 2009 for driving a 1927
Santa Fe 4-8-4 "Northern" #3751.
