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.

[@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

[@eccentric_traveler]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@traincrazymotive]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

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

[@mr.minebloxdaylighttwinkle442]

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

[@Tartaraki808]

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

[@TheWinnipegRailfan]

Very well done! Keep up the great content dude!

[@ModernLstudios]

Thank you so much!

[@danielboone3770]

I enjoy the story!

[@chesapeakedproductions3009]

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

[@cableyoutuber]

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

[@mumumaaaah]

Modern line studios are you a big fan of steam?

[@ModernLstudios]

@@mumumaaaah 1000% yes

[@CodysTrainz]

The number 3751 is where my channel got inspiration from.

[@RobloxRailfannerdude]

Nice video Also nice editing

Does anybody know the name of the song in the intro-?

Whats the name of the intro song please?

[@dominiquecampos1512]

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

[@Alaska_Air]

Whats the link to the Astf 3751

[@ModernLstudios]

@@Alaska_Air it’s on a site called trainzland, I modded the model slightly, but you can find the original model on trainzland

[@brianpacos4072]

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

[@ethansalzmann836]

hey does anyone know the name of the song in the intro?

[@JCmilwaukee]

What’s the first song that plays

[@get_emld]

How’d you get the 3751 model in Trainz?

[@ModernLstudios]

@@get_emld it’s on this site called “trainz land” search up ATSF 2900 class

[@Michael-eg3rs]

@@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.
