4 4 0 general steam engine being unloaded

[@randomgamer4048]

1:11 thank you for making me think my phone was dinging

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Sure thing!!

[@markfrench8892]

Any steam locomotive should never be handle like this. It's a good way to bend the frames.

[@Trackmaster_Tehachapi]

They’re lifting it like it’s some model train

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

It was a bit scary!

[@Galaxy-wg7lx]

Plot twist: it’s Jeff besos’ model train

[@TheBeeMan1994]

That boiler sheet took some damage lol

[@jaysontadlock1871]

A proper lift would have had a rig under it and no cable would have come near the locomotive.

[@MindfulAura73]

Where is the smoke stack???

[@superdave6889]

the proper class name is "American C Type"

[@TrainsWow]

Nice! I'll definitely have to visit once they are running live steam.

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Yeahh.. might be awhile for that!

[@aidonbutler6247]

Was this locomotive taken from Jefferson Texas?

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

I believe it did come from texas.

[@ogr7771]

What, no one there know how to give crane-rigging signs? Boom up, down, swing right, left, load up, down, extend boom? Good LORD!!

[@simonbowden136]

Wrong technique used to lift this engine, should be using a spreader beam/beams.

[@overpoweredsteamproduction513]

That’s not the general..

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Which general.?.that's the original from 6 gun.

[@eriknewland3686]

@@MikeSsuncoasttrains it's not "The General" that was used during the Civil War; it's a replica built for a theme park haha

[@STho205]

The one in Marietta Kennesaw, GA is not really either, fully. The General rebuilt several times differently, eventually was scrapped and all that was left was the frame. When it was rebuilt for the CW centennial and US bicentennial it was reconstructed in an 1870a configuration with a post war style pilot cowcatcher.

@@eriknewland3686 ok that makes sense

[@wildrrice]

I was there! The one on the guy line in the engineer cap and khaki shirt!

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Yayyyyy

[@hisexcellencytrump855]

Is this a reproduction train , orginal? What year?, are they going to run it on steam some day!?

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

This engine was at 6 gun territory theme park in Ocala fl. After it shut down about 1972 the engine made it's way around the country until it was in texas where mr kirby loaded it up and brought it back to Florida.

[@hisexcellencytrump855]

@@MikeSsuncoasttrains what year was it made!? Looks like a knock off.

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Early 1900s I think. Some railroads and logging lines still used 4 4 0s into the 50s.

[@hisexcellencytrump855]

@@MikeSsuncoasttrains thank you, to me it kinda looked like a reproduction, I see little brass on it . Its going to steam again? If so , when!?

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

We did some track work replacing ties yesterday. Hes got a lot going on. He has 6 steam locomotives right now some of which are hydraulic. Not sure what his plans are.

[@magicguystudios7940]

Where’s the chimney

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Unloaded already. It was on the other flatbed.

[@kennethserfass5361]

not every 4-4-0 is a "general". smh

[@MikeSsuncoasttrains]

Its not THE general.. it's the name they gave it. All locomotives at kirby have a name.

[@ronniewatkins]

Only THE General deserves that name. They should have named this Colonel

[@gregdannels1699]
