SP&S 700 departing Oaks Park - 4pm Trip

Here is a clip of the 700 departing Oaks Park on the 4pm trip, sadly my little camera doesn't pick up the bass/booming from the 700 but it gives you a good idea of how she sounds working 100lbs in the cylinders. During this event, they only operate at 260lbs instead of the full 300lbs boiler pressure with the short run and light load.

SP&S 700's maximum boiler pressure is 260 PSI whereas SP Daylight 4449's maximum boiler pressure is 300 PSI. That's the difference.
