In the golden age of steam There lived a beauty queen Rollin' 'round the countryside She was a driver's dream. Workin' days and workin' nights Up before the sun They all tried hard to get aboard 3801. The queen of all the fleet The railways' pride and joy To ride upon the footplate Was the dream of every boy As she went roarin' by On another express run Everyone would turn their heads for 3801. Oh, 3801 You stood the test, you're still the best You just keep rollin' on. Far from Sydney town The black smoke rollin' high Across the Hawksbury River To Newcastle on the Flyer Over the Great Divide On the central western run On the southern line, right on time went 3801. But your greatest feat Was steamin' 'cross the nation All the crowds would gather 'round at Every country station. On the standard gauge Westward to the sun Across to Perth and back again went 3801. Oh, 3801 You stood the test, you're still the best You just keep rollin' on. The days of steam have been and gone But some remember well A big green flash as she went by Had such a tale to tell And now she's back upon the tracks She just keeps rollin' on She beat the rest, she's still the best 3801. Oh, 3801 You stood the test, you're still the best You just keep rollin' on. (Repeat and fade)
As a kid I was lucky enough to stand on her footplate when she was stopped in Wyong because my great uncle worked on the railways. Many many years later (2 years ago) I got to ride behind her on a heritage run.
Why do the neurotypical female athletes especially the volleyball players and swimmers at my local recreation center Asphalt Green know Let it go and Love is an open door from Frozen, but not this 3801 steam locomotive song a legend in steam?
Calling all rail fans of 3801: I recently was fortunate enough to scab this loco in the app game TrainStation 2. She’s one of the locos available to purchase during the Mars event. And yes, it’s dubbed in game by her nickname “C 38 Flyer” as in Newcastle Flyer complete with the green and gold stripes livery so it’s definitely 3801.

Amazing! I was wondering if you would be able to let me use some footage here of 3801 for a small 30 second meme on my yt channel? Also you are close to 7k subs!

MC3801 Productions That's a shame. I loved this song when I was a kid of about 5 or 6. My Dad had one of the specials made about the train with this song featured in the middle. I used to often ask him for "train song video". 😉 Still got that VHS.

I love the fact this is popping up in recommended pages because of the fact she’s back in steam again
Why has this legendary song only got 128 likes it should have over 2 billion likes
Agree completely
Best song ever!!! I have listened to this song for 5 years and will never stop listening to it
In the golden age of steam
There lived a beauty queen
Rollin' 'round the countryside
She was a driver's dream.
Workin' days and workin' nights
Up before the sun
They all tried hard to get aboard
3801.
The queen of all the fleet
The railways' pride and joy
To ride upon the footplate
Was the dream of every boy
As she went roarin' by
On another express run
Everyone would turn their heads for
3801.
Oh, 3801
You stood the test, you're still the best
You just keep rollin' on.
Far from Sydney town
The black smoke rollin' high
Across the Hawksbury River
To Newcastle on the Flyer
Over the Great Divide
On the central western run
On the southern line, right on time went
3801.
But your greatest feat
Was steamin' 'cross the nation
All the crowds would gather 'round at
Every country station.
On the standard gauge
Westward to the sun
Across to Perth and back again went
3801.
Oh, 3801
You stood the test, you're still the best
You just keep rollin' on.
The days of steam have been and gone
But some remember well
A big green flash as she went by
Had such a tale to tell
And now she's back upon the tracks
She just keeps rollin' on
She beat the rest, she's still the best
3801.
Oh, 3801
You stood the test, you're still the best
You just keep rollin' on.

Can’t wait to see her in March
Ando’s Railway that didn’t age well
😢
So was I. Didn't eventuate. Hopefully they are able to reschedule next year.
@@jamesbluntirules what
Even when she was still in regular service, people would still crowd to see her
As a kid I was lucky enough to stand on her footplate when she was stopped in Wyong because my great uncle worked on the railways. Many many years later (2 years ago) I got to ride behind her on a heritage run.
Got the Book on 3801 last year and the Uncirculated 50 cent Coin as well!😉🚂🚃🚃🛤️📗💰
I have the coin, never spending it
What a wonderful song, haven’t heard it in years.
Random K Set Nice to know.
@The Pacific Coast Railfanner Not anymore
@@localcarthief oof. I wish they did add 3801, it’d be great. And they can include the music.
The best Australian steam loco ever. I love her.
Sure you do daylight...
I have seen 3801 in person and she is spectacular. and it was at Steamfest 2023 and it was amazing.

Legendary!🏆
this is so damn good!!!
Well hello there
Would have loved to have seen when 3801 and Flying Scotsman ran together.
Best song ever sang
Came by moss vale yesterday
The best
Um you do know that flying scots man whet to Australia and flying scots man and 3801 did a run together
Yep, I certainly do. Ran a number of trips together around NSW, mainly in early 1989 during the Scotsman's Visit.
Flying scotman when he was in Australia
3801 and 3820 also ran with R707 from Victoria for the Steam Festival.
@@MC3801Productions I bet When the Flying Scotsman and 3801 met it was love at first sight
@@hugothomas1199 She*. All trains, ships etc are referred to as "her" or "she".
Amazing! I was wondering if you would be able to let me use some footage here of 3801 for a small 30 second meme on my yt channel? Also you are close to 7k subs!
Yes sure mate, that's fine.
i refuse to believe that they say rolllin', and i think that it really is "roarin' onnnn"

Was this song originally made in the 80’s? Or 70’s?
1987.
Is this on iTunes
No it isn't unfortunately
MC3801 Productions oh ok

Really wish this was on iTunes I would buy it on the spot!
1089 and 520 are just as grand as 3801
I agree they are two fine locomotives.
Never heard of em. 😅
Like flying scots man 3801 did 100MPH
@Aussie Pom Nothing official..2 late grate Uncle's of mine who were driver and fireman swear got 100mph plus on a downhill run
@@liamdunn6098 not to hard to believe considering the power of the beast! I believe you bud
How fast can 3801 go if she was pushed go as fast as she can?
3801 did 112 or thats what we think it’s not official sadly :(
This song is amazing way better than Jolly Green Giant.
