This is so Cool!

"Why is there no smoke? The fireman (the guy who makes the steam for the engineer to use) is firing the engine well. He is using as little fuel as possible, to make as much steam as possible. This means there is little smoke." I was going to comment the same thing - this is impressive firing indeed.

Jethro Tull approved.

Man, just look at all those rods GO! She is really bookin! Even keeping up with that probably brand new at the time FJ Cruiser (10 years later, those have retained their value well). Wish I could come across some old iron moving at speed like this irl. 🚂💨💨

Whereas this video with thunderstruck playing in the background. I saw it once

There is nothing like the oldskool ❤

The last time America was actually great was went trains were its main focus. Not highways and traffic jams.

She's beautiful. Go baby go!😊🇺🇸👍🏼👍🏼

The USA’s only steam locomotive.

Casey jones returns… I wish I’d lived in the USA, endless space, deserts, forests mountains, tropical beaches, cheap fuel.

Badass!

Beautiful.

Sorry guys,I was wrong in saying what I said.

I came to this video because I remember very vividly seeing this locomotive pass by overhead on the freeway. I remember it was the 10 freeway and I remember spotting this thing. I was very young and now I wonder the whereabouts of this current locomotive. also that blue suburban rocks

Steam Punk to the MAX 🙃

4:56 I bet your morning coffe is not like this. What a joy!!! :D

It’s a magic carpet on a rail Never takes a rest (Finish the song in the replies)

Espetacular😲👍🏽🇧🇷!

Marvelous train 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

No need to wait in traffic jams when you can just puff on by and wave 👋

4:30 Sudden trip to nostalgia city.

Cool supper entertainment

4:42 that’s an epic shot

Truly a work of art.

Metrolink car at 1:03, taking notes. To think that it's a large engine on wheels-- Just like each of the vehicles driving beside it, if you could see in their engines. Engineering power. Beautiful machine

I'm surprised he didn't get stopped by CHP for an emissions test 😅

Wow! So Cool to See on Christmas Day 2025

Very good train 🚂🚃🤠👍

Appears to cross diagonally?

Where is that

Every time I watch this video it makes me think about this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4DRk5iXpb2ooNEsi=Ujuk-8SYetYQVx4w

I think the reason I always loved steam engines is they almost make no sense to me. I've engineered rocket propulsion systems, high-bypass turbofans, high performance electric motors, but that stuff all makes sense to me, they are pretty straight forward. Just watching the cyclic rate on some of those coupling rods, considering how heavy they are, seems like the kinetic energy should just rapidly disassemble the entire thing. It's so violent but so orchestrated and balanced at the same time. When you take into account how well timed it needs to be to operate at any meaningful degree of efficiency in order to attain these speeds, it is just a complete work of art.

I like the K5HLB by a slight margin. It reminds me of the old Leslie RS5T, except that the Leslie had a sharp octave, with the no.5 bell sounding C#, instead of C. The most shameful sounding horn these days is the one NS has put on most of their AC44C6M rebuilds. I don't know which one it is. It's plenty loud, but it's high and screechy. Thanks TrainTrackTrav for putting the horn pattern on the screen. There's only a half step difference between the two.

Sweet

Yo Trav. Nice short of Metra and the crossing. Keep it up

In Indonesia, the locomotive that uses the Nathan Airchime horn is CC 206, yes of course because the locomotive manufacturing factory is from General Eletrick. Sometimes the train lover community in Indonesia often calls it "CC 206 horn" or "puooongggssss" because the horn is very loud and resonant. so that someone around him was shocked to hear the sound of the horn

Such a beautiful beast! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Thomas and Bertie in the 21st century

Babe. I'll stop the car. You'll be driving untill I lose the sight of this train.

Imagine if you were a little kid in the backseat of that Toyota when that whistle started screaming, that'd be a core memory

4:40

*gasps in shock* I KNOW DAMN WELL THAT DAMN TRAIN AIN'T ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY!!!!!

Get off your fucking phones and mind the road

I don't know why, but I feel happy like a child when I hear the sound of a train.

why is that there?

It was a great night that that night and an amazing P3

Nice catches Travis I hope there's a lot more down the road
