    I’m not a train nut but this is a magnificent machine! The smell, feel, sound of it whistling by must be fantastic!

    I'm loving the fact that someone has trained a donkey to act as an alert for the train's imminent arrival👍

    There was a time in America during the late 1940's when everyone in town would stop what they were doing and go down to the depot to watch the first stream line diesel come down the tracks. It see we have come full circle. Johnny Cash recorded a song about it. Google Texas 1947 and listen. I would love to read your comments.

    My wife and I saw it in 2019, unfortunately it was broke down in Casa Grande Az, and was not able to pull on its own power, it was being pushed, still a work of engineering, and massive, actually got to view it for quite awhile, so maybe it wasn’t totally disappointing 😁

    • @grandparails8858

    Hint - If you are going to video the train and you want to capture the sound of a locomotive stay away from any crossing by at least half a mile. Near a crossing all you'll hear is his horn or bell.

    We lived in El Cerrito, CA in the early 40's, and the Santa Fe train tracks ran just behind the homes across the street. During the war there were long trains of military equipment, and later on hospital trsind with large red crosses on the sides of the hospital cars. The service men near the windows would wave to us as the trains passed.

      @@grandparails8858 Many times people who are taking pictures lose their perspective of where they are and how close to the tracks they are. Many people don't understand that a train is wider than the tracks. No picture is worth a life or an injury. And think of the engine crew who have to watch all this going on and being unable to respond effectively if someone is being careless.
