Totally understand. I tried to to keep that in mind when I did wrote the script for the video. Doesn't hurt to know those extra little tidbits. So, oh well. Thanks for the comments!
There is a still shot showing the crew in the cab of 3751 when it pulls into the Grand Canyon. I'm the one standing in the Gangway with the Bowler Hat. Is it possible for me to get a digital copy of that photo?
Great job on the editing Shane, although (personal taste) the narration is a bit long winded in a few spots where'd I'd just rather listen to the train and let them tell the story. (steam climbing 3.55% grade) personal taste though, and not meant to be a slam at all. Without being so rude as "Voice for radio", you really do have a good, inviting voice for narration.
Great footage, I saw wheel slippage on BOTH 4960 and 3751 !!!!

I think I can dig it out. Gotta figure out which hard drive it's on. My email is scsmiley19@hotmail.com. Feel free to send me an email.

That song in the beginning of this video was featured in the first Disney Santa clause movie. What's it called?
+Pinchie08 Gimme All Your Lovin' by ZZ Top.
+IndianaRailfan I found out at the end of the video. I have ZZ tops songs gimme all your love and sharp dressed man.
maybe be a silly question but why do nearly all steam locomotives need a diesel helper engine ...? cant they pull trains anymore. ..?
I think, in this case, the diesel was there for mostly HEP (Head End Power) for the cars and would assist when needed.
"did" is not supposed to be there. Forgive me.
Be nice to hear something besides that damn whistle.
