- This video showcases the Frisco 1522, a 4-8-2 'Mountain Type' Steam Locomotive built in 1926 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia for service on the St. Louis - San Francisco (FRISCO) Railway. The occasion was an excursion route of the First Subdivision of Springfield Division of the Burlington Northern Railroad from St. Louis to Newburg, Missouri, sponsored by the National Railway Historical Society on Saturday, June 16, 1990. The locomotive and passenger train was filmed heading west to Newburg through Rolla from the 10th Street overpass and again on its return east up the 1.2% Rolla Hill from a vantage point west of the old wooden bridge that crosses the tracks near the Phelps County Courthouse. The trip up Rolla Hill was a memorable challenge for the 1522 hence the title of the video: “Frisco 1522 Stack Talk”
One of my favorite 1522 videos. The work taking place to get up that hill is just mesmerizing.
My favorite as well, indeed my only one. The encounter is still remarkable after all the years since that day. We used a borrowed video tape recorder with no prior experience. The video capture was poor, but the sound was exceptional. The sound echoing off the surrounding hills was truly unexpected. A matter of luck, being in the right place at the right time. Glad I could share it. Thanks for commenting.
My grandma used to live one block from that old wooden bridge on the corner of 5th and Main. When I heard a train coming I would high-tail it down to the bridge to watch the trains pass underneath. You could hear the trains coming eastbound long before you saw them, as they struggled up Rolla Hill. Great memories from the late 50's and early 60's as a young boy who LOVED trains!
Wow! that is a heck of a grade! She was really laboring...but managed it - quite something to see and hear!!!
Engine crew did a great job. No wheel-slip!
Thanks for sharing, my grandfather might have done work on that locomotive, he was a machinist with the FRISCO Line in Memphis, Tn.
You can hear Frisco 1522 coming from 3 days away.
One of my favorite beautiful and loud
That was my first time as 1522 engineer on the main line.
Hope you enjoyed the video. It was a very memorable occasion for me, I'd guess even more so for you. Thanks for commenting.

@@Unionpacifcfan Bruh, in many of the shots, you are dead wrong.
"I THINK I can, I THINK I can..."
Lol that’s what I thought 1522 was saying
1522 is doing what she did best.
I love both Frisco 1522 and Frisco 1630.
David can I ask you something
What did the woman, in the background say?
As the locomotive and train pulls the grade and is nearly visible, I hear "here it comes" (my wife) and later towards the end as the train passes someone says, "that was incredible" (and it was). The rest is unintelligible to my ear. Thanks to everyone who has watched and enjoyed this video. The camcorder video was rather poor, but the audio was "serendipitous."
@@davidroede the audio was excellent. Listening to that stack thunder was awesome.
Shame this great steam locomotive will never run again
Well, it actually could. It just depends on who buys it and what it's mechanical status is.
@@regularguy7266 the museum has specially said it doesn't want to sell anything in its collection
@@atsfevan0242 why
@@rogerlollar4325 because they own the engine, and its their decision.
@@atsfevan0242 could someone lease it
