Previous engineer still running a train...

That little lady knows WTF she’s doing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The craziest thing to me about these trains is there are only two limitations the engine actually has for speed: The amount of steam that you can produce and the point at which traction is lost from speed and the wheels slip causing the thing to slow down If there was no such thing as a traction limit then you could probably drive one of these big bastards at 150 miles an hour!

i remember this video years back shes cute how shes operating the train with these railroad track logos

What railroad is she on, and which loco?

😮

WOW! Thanks Brian!

80 mph at least

Dayum, fucking beast she was, like at the speed of an NKP 765 on the Joliet rocket or over, the conductor never pushed her this fast before! Also, I am good at steam language, and I think she said, “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!”*

Hello Brian. -The Future

What were the engine numbers

Shes just not sitting around playing on her phone😊

This might have been 80 MPH, because 844 did 80 MPH on a run without a diesel, and since she doesn’t have a diesel behind her in this video, perhaps this was from that run.

what stat is this in and or rail road

I can't believe I looked this up for nostalgia😂 Hey, look- Mountain's out! 🏔️🏔️🏔️

The funny thing is that if you play it at twice the speed, not only is it insanely fast, but each time a wheel set goes over the joint, it sounds like a gunshot. Just something I thought I’d point out

TRULY I TRULY REALLY TRULY LOVE SEEING A SOFT SEXY WOMAN STEAM LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER .

Who says a female can’t drive a train?

This man has more balls than block of coal in 844's tender

I'm no train expert, but I've seen the other gentleman setting where she is in another video running a leaver Is that an extra break or what?

Meanwhile the Fireman…🥵😰

Beauty 😍

So cool a yuong lady 😀

Ass

😉👍

And now you are serving whiskey behind #70

😱😱😱

With people in the background laughing and bantering, it did not distract her the least bit. She is a true engineer

Nice video. I just found out about this locomotive from watching a movie that starred in "Born to Be Wild". Is it still an operation in 2023.

Was this the locomotive used in "Born to be Wild"?

Sp 4449 going to columbia river gorge via deschutes river cayon

good catches and video Of SP& 700 holiday express and good clips inside the train too

No idea what she was doing but looked totally in control LOL . . .

I Would Like Her Autograph!

She Is Awesome! She Knows Everything! Makes It Look Easy! She Is So Serious! Always Be Blessed! MoPac Jack Kirkwood, Missouri 🚂

A couple of questions for Rikki. Traditionaly an engineer had to be fireman for several years before they could qualify and a engineer. Did you have to do this? How long did you fire locomotives before becomming an engineer? How long have a been doing this?

If anyone thinks her job is easy, think again! A steam locomotive engineer has to have complete knowledge of their locomotive. There is a myrid of valves, controls, and levers. The engineer has to know what each and every one what does and what they are for. Plus they have be able to make emergency repairs on the road far away from the shops and repair facilities. The engineer has to be a real "gear head" to run one othe these huge, complex machines. Finally, also have to be able "read" their smoke, "read" their steam.

Gut !

Dang the engines gave like a missle sound 😂

Amazing but too short of a 14L. I like when the hoggers blast LONG AND QUILL THAT WHISTLE

Her crew seemed to be preoccupied with things other than their job - what they were supposed to be doing.

Man, I love that sound every time she throws the reverser forward! What was the going to putting on the air, a show for the buffies?

I didn’t realize railfans were so damn thirsty everybody in this comment section is so freaking horny

Where is this

Good work and looking lovely lady

Well THAT was cool

I certainly Loved this video, of a young girl operating a steam engine , what a trimendous job she is doing & doing it well, her smile says it all - so many thanks to everyone who made this great video 👍👍 ( can I just say to this young girl, keep up the good work).

There's not enough fire in the box,no steam in the cab.or Or around the engine . Blast me if you won't to.ive road and watched several steam engines. And there's so Much steam around the engine. And there no Hissing noise. I think a diesel Engine is the power source.

That is true shaking point is valaebile

Interesting. Man, that "Johnson bar" sure is way back, . . . .
