ATSF 3751: How did this Steam Engine become an ICON?

[@t-12productions15]

Foamer dream: have 3751 and 2926 doublehead to the Grand Canyon from Albuquerque and from the Grand Canyon to San Bernardino.

[@toysallyear]

Don’t forget Chicago. ATSF Went to Chicago.

[@lonewolfe31619]

@@toysallyear but will it happen again in today's Class 1 Railroad I'm really doubting that but it is nice to think about.

[@rainierbagatsing1073]

There's also the santa Fe employee recognition special in 1992, where santa Fe 3751 traveled from LA to Chicago and back on santa fes transcontinental mainline

[@ModernLstudios]

@@rainierbagatsing1073 a video on that specific trip is in the making

[@RailfanIan1225]

3751 is a Top 3 for me! Grew Up with videos of it on VHS

[@KatyPacific382]

Very nice video! 3751 was the first ever Santa Fe steam locomotive i ever liked growing up. When i was a kid, I saw old clips of it on either Cajon or Ratton Pass with those warbonnet diesels back in the 1990s in There Goes A Train. Its always nice seeing the history of the first steam engine you've ever heard about growing up.

[@TheWinnipegRailfan]

Very well done! Keep up the great content dude!

[@ModernLstudios]

Thank you so much!

[@West-Coast-2010-Railfan]

Awesome documentary. This Northern is my most favorite, and also cool shots.

[@evanf1293]

I've seen this engine twice since her recent restoration was finished. Not sure what's planned for her in 2024, but I have my fingers crossed knowing that SBRHS has gotten the money to fully install ptc on the engines, gives me hope of a possible excursion seeing how she hasn't done one since 2014/the last year San Bernadino held Railroad Days. And I was told by a volunteer when I toured her cab in 2022, that they're hoping to do another excursion to San Diego. If it happens, I'll be there for sure!

[@eccentric_traveler]

Another reason she became an icon, she was in ‘There goes a Train’

[@chrisloomis1489]

Over 100 miles an hour : magnificent.

[@traincrazymotive]

3751 was later given a ATSF 6 chime, as did a few others of it's class.

[@RobloxRailfannerdude]

Nice video Also nice editing

[@ModernLstudios]

Thank you!

[@Pensyfan19]

This is one of the most well edited railroad documentaries I've ever seen! The breaks from narration with train sim showcases are a great way to highlight parts of its history. My only suggestion is to lower some of the songs, and/or make the narration audio louder. But other than that, amazung job, and this channel deserves more subscribers, starting with me.

[@ModernLstudios]

Thank you so much for your encouragement and feedback! Definitely will work on the audio

[@chesapeakedproductions3009]

A very well put together and well edited video. What was the intro background music?

[@danielboone3770]

I enjoy the story!

Very well put together documentary! Your channel will definitely do well! (i hope at least)

[@ModernLstudios]

@@protosheep thank you!!

[@DaylightTwinkle]

You left out when the engine made that trip from LA to Chicago in 1992, but it’s all right.

[@cableyoutuber]

The 1920’s-40’s steam locomotives are my favorites. Don’t know why, but they just look more “American” to me

[@TrainLover-wt9ix]

6 chime feels better fitted fir these Northerns. The 5 chime sounds like it should be on a smaller locomotive, you get me? (What Trainz routes were used? I know one was the Mojave Subdivision)

[@joenewstead4848]

It should also be mentioned that 3751 is the very FIRST AND OLDEST 4-8-4.

[@lukePMberkshire1225]

That’s incorrect. It was the first northern built by Baldwin, and Northern Pacific designed the first 4-8-4 northern. The part about her being the oldest surviving one is correct though

[@CodysTrainz]

The number 3751 is where my channel got inspiration from.

[@DarkLink1996]

I like how the first thing I see is my area of Fullerton

[@johndavenport6782]

What’s the music in the intro?

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

The oldest surviving 4-8-4 is number 3751 built in 1927 she’s about to become 100 years old

@@ModernLstudios thats a sketchy russian pirating site. Its actually on WIT Simulations

[@joshmeister4449]

The 1 reason I actually don't care for 3751 is because of the crew that was operating her at railfair 99 when my dad took me. They were absolute ass holes when my dad put me (a 9 year old at the time) up on the front pilot step for a photo while others were doing the same thing. Not sure if the same crew still runs her now, but back in 99, those guys were a bunch of pricks.

[@justarandomf-4gphantom170]

You Blame the FUCKING TRAIN for the behavior of some stupid people. God DAMN. Blame the people for their behavior, not the locomotive. Half the people I met who drove Silverados were dicks. Do i hate Silverados? No. Leave the vehicle out of the equation. I know everyone has their favorite and least favorite engines, but I have never heard such a baffling reason.

[@dominiquecampos1512]

He didn’t mention the fact ATSF sold it for two dollars

[@brianpacos4072]

Too bad K&L Trainz haven't built their ATSF 3751 yet, would've been perfect for the video 😂

[@Boxwood2909]

And I'm still here going: Fire up Madame Queen YOU COWARDS!

[@patrickwade4394]

The animation ruins the story.

[@toysallyear]

First of all, this is a game, not an animation. Second of all, you shouldn’t be watching if you hate it, this is a masterpiece.
