  • For the first time since 1953, AT&SF 2926 took the mainline in Albuquerque, New Mexico on September 30, 2023. We were there for the event and catch it as it was backed out of the barn and the tool car was coupled to the tender.
    After the tool car is coupled, the consist backs down the sawmill spur to the mainline where NMRX dispatch gives permission to enter the mainline for the first time in 70 years.
    2926 will be on display at New Mexico Railroad Days through October 1, 2023.

    My personal congratulations to everyone who labored so hard for so many years to finally see 2926 once again on the main line. Without a dedicated group of professionals and volunteers it would have never ever happened - period! 2926 is indeed a very large steam locomotive by any standard, and is now one of the largest active steam locomotive currently 'operating' in America. What a fantastic achievement and job well done!

    For those wondering at 12:20 the fireman was relighting his fire. If the fire goes out on an oil burner (which can happen for a number of reasons) then the fuel is increased to attempt to relight off of the heat from the bricks. It isn't uncommon but it is definitely not an ideal scenario: the increase in unburnt fuel and gas becomes a hazard if it doesn't catch quickly. That was a pretty subtantial flash but I wouldn't really fault the crew here, given this is the first time on the road for 2926. Stuff happens

    • @rrsteamer
      @rrsteamer 11 месяцев назад +5

      One possibility is loosening or dislodging the fire bricks in the lower firebox. If then firebrick is hot then most of the time relight is not a problem but if the firebrick has been in service quite awhile might be a bit more of a problem. The fire door should be closed and bolted to prevent flash back into the cab. Nicely done. Best way is to take the time to do it right.

    I have a special affinity for the A.T&SF as my grandfather was a machinist at the Cleburne, TX shops after WWII, and worked there till he died from lung cancer. I never knew him as he died before I was born but, my grandmother lived very near those shops for most of my life and it was always a joy to walk down to the tracks and watch all the freight trains coming and going from the Cleburne Yard. It's a shadow of its former glory and now this is a bypass viaduct on the south end of the yard but, Santa Fe still runs freight out of there and Amtrak still stops there, so it was always a joy to visit my grandmother. I am very glad to see A.T.&SF Steam on the rails once again.

    My Father was a Trainman for the AT&SF NM Division for 40 years, He hired on just after the company transitioned to diesel, but loved to ride the Narrow Gauges. He had two Uncles that were with the AT&SF through the steam years. It was very interesting to be around those Guys. So glad to see the 2926 out on the Main again.

    The whistle sounds awesome. The locomotive is amazing. The people who did restore should be very proud of what they did

    Gotta keep an eye on the fire else you get an explosion like at 12:21 when relighting from hot fire brick.

      The society is working with New Mexico DOT to eventually have mainline excursions from Albuquerque to Las Vegas, NM. Patience is a virtue.

    When will she run on the main on an official train? The lines of this beauty bring emotions up from deep. Just to watch this is a miracle 🙏
    In my lifetime. Wow!

      Laguna's a nice place. 2926 is going back to the barn tomorrow afternoon. Catch it then.

    I was 8 years old when 2926 was taken out of service. I lived in Cleveland, so I never saw her in operation. But I did see plenty of New York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad, Erie Railroad and Nickel Plate Railroad steamers. Thanks for the video. Jon
