Wish the UP had the balls to let other companies run steam on their trackage for another event. Shame

Northwestern Pacific made 2 comebacks in fact. However the 2nd one is just more of a small budget shortline today. YES, they used to roster some cool locomotives like the Ex-ATSF GP7u or NWP GP9, but both of these are no longer used. They now operate the Gensets and a SW1500. (Bloody nose paint scheme). In my opinion the 1990s NWP comeback was better, especially with the fact they were able to organize a public train ride, and all locomotives having a same "black widow" paint scheme that had slight changes.

I bet those things are a pain in the butt to operate and maintain.

30 years ago today.

At 0:05, I see the Mediterranean Revival architecture of the train station, similar to what the South Shore Line uses, even today (the station at Beverly Shores, Indiana is the last remaining station using that architecture).

Classy rools on u 💛💚♥️ 2 gpood luk on u

I wonder what year were any of them filmed?

When were each of them filmed, like what year?

Magnificent!

I know that route! I got that as an add-on to my Train Simulator Classic game!

I used to ride my dirt bike up and down from Northbrook all the way to Harms on the abandon line. 1972-1976. It's all still there too.

I watch this back in 2005 on RFD-TV

51 kinda reminds me of the S100, except articulated

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

When I was recording this railroad it was during the end of The McCloud River Railroad and the beginning of the McCloud Railway. The last tape I made was when the 25 was in the shop in mid rebuild. SO this is SOOOOooooo good to see. I love this footage. Great STUFF !!!! The railroad is in limbo for the 18 miles between Mt. Shasta and McCloud. Everything else is pulled up. Not much of a future but good to see the line when it ran !!! THANKS FOR POSTING. October 2023.

Great stuff!

Let me tell you folks, 1993 was probably the best time to visit this line. Between early March into early May, three maintenance-of-way projects took place on the Southern freight route through Texas & eastern New Mexico resulting in work windows disrupting the normal flow for hours at a time. As a result, CHICO decided to send their fleet of UPS SHOOTERS over the Northern Route via Raton & Glorietta Passes. The end result was that railfans had the RARE opportunity to witness SF'S fleet of FOUR-AXLE SUPERFLEETS sprinting across the flat Colorado & New Mexico deserts at 70MPH splitting the fabled semaphores & battling the steep grades of Raton & Glorietta in both directions.

Thank goodness we still have the SouthShore line. It's been alter the last 2 years,but this last interurban as of 2023 has a great future. The Hammond to Dyer Indiana line will be the first interurban rail branch built since the NorthShore Skokie valley route in 1926.The SouthShore branch to Dyer will open in 2025

Everyone is talking about 0:17 but nobody is talking about how one of the trains casually didn’t do the sequence while the other one did

The federal court of appeals is a brown nose agency for biden and his commie cronies

To kill those painting schemes was a crime of anti-culture.

My son would really like the Tennessee Pass line from Dotsero to Parkdale to be restored and used again for both freight and/or passenger trains. But does not want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality!

Would like to see the whole Alameda corridor from Dolores thru to West Redondo jct.

SP 4449 has had a nice variety of paint schemes that have been applied over the years, the BNSF black/ silver paint scheme is a reflection back to the paint scheme that was worn by Southern Pacific steam engines during their final years of service during the 1950s. SP 4449 looked unique and attractive with this black and silver paint scheme from 2000-2001, the 4449 is a true supreme quality steam excursion star representative locomotive.

I remember seen this and other train videos like this on the RFD TV channel. I really miss that videos: the BNSF Stocktown Tower, the Rio Grande route, the Southern Pacific Tennesse Pass, the Union Pacific in Modesto CA... a lot of them. Greetings from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico✌

The Santa Fe rr definitely had some incredible steam power for their steam era engine roster, I like the Hudson 4-6-4, Northern 4-8-4, and the Texas 2-10-4 type locomotives as my 3 favorite classes of steam power.

GREAT vid, glad I shot this line before UP mothballed it . NOTHING like EMD's in run 8 up the Tennessee Pass ! Thinks it will EVER reopen ? Lets run the F Units to Minturn yard !!

0:43 Is that 2467 or 2472?

Sad we don’t get to see Uintah 50 or 51 today.

Very good color footage, but where was this exactly, in or near what town, in which state?

This stupid country gave up all the mass transit for air pollution and crammed highways.

Holly cow, that cabover Peterbilt just cut the car off ....that truck musta been very new here.
