ATSF Santa Fe 3751 arriving in to Fullerton , Ca for rail safety on 09/21/2022 . First outting after a 1472 inspection / rebuild that took 5 years .

Feels good to have the oldest surviving 4-8-4 back on the high iron after a long absence since late 2017! :D

[@zacharycalgher3978]

Plus 3751 continues using her ATSF 6-Chime passenger whistle.

@Krystal The Pink Poodle UP 844 was delivered in 1944, and was the last Northern UP ordered. ATSF 3751 was delivered in 1927. Math much?

[@hawkeyeten2450]

Wonder if 3751 and 2926 could meet up and do a doubleheader in the near future. Have a Santa Fe reunion now that both are operational.

[@jimmyhook4852]

@Krystal The Pink Poodle And plus... during last week... they were able to get the 8th Street Crossing repaired and upgraded to support the weight of 2926 when under steam. ;)

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Welcome back to the high iron, 3751!

[@rearspeaker6364]

she has the classic lines of a true 4-8-4!! on a side note, hope the bell cord is made from Nomex!!!

Is it going to be on virtual rail fans

[@SniperMachineryMedia]

It should be .. but the last time I looked, the WebCam was having issues

[@nolanharder167]

[@johnathanhardin152]

Will she receive a paint job soon?

[@benjamindeloney]

Why?

[@themandan1702]

Boy, that tender needs new paint.

[@BenBensonStudios]

Too bad she was just being pulled and pushed by Amtrak 203

[@SniperMachineryMedia]

Yes .. just spoke with the crew right now and it was confirmed it also WON’T be leading tomorrow night when it departs 🙄 . Will be lead by Amtrak 203 . Smh

Spectacular catches! Glad to see the 3751 is back in action.

[@davidng2336]

Good to see 3751 again. Hopefully it will be able to pull an excursion again in the future.

[@markjohnson4924]

Damn. You can see my fat rear end starting around 4:35. Hard to believe I was a weightlifter just 10 years ago.

[@rearspeaker6364]

[@zacharylucisbecker2352]

At long last, this fan favorite Santa Fe northern has returned, ready to continue its career as an excursion locomotive.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Hey she’s back! Haven’t seen her run for a while!

[@WilliamCreator57]

[@SniperMachineryMedia]

Yes , by all means !

[@uniontrains.8631]

She sure was very missed.It's good to have her back!

[@joshuatoro8977]

just wish I could have seen it with the better engine I'm not a fan of those new engines that Metrolink Amtrak and they're using I wish they'd go to a manly engine and not an engine that looks like it should not be around

[@Xander-m1w]

Will she be running during October 22nd and October 22th

I'm going on Saturday. How will the preservation work?

[@Interesting_Banana]

OMG FINALLY

[@rudycarlson8245]

This may be a stupid question but I honestly don’t know the answer to it what is 3751 built as an oil burner?

[@marcot3333]

Coal burner when it rolled out, converted to oil in 1937

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@marcot3333 Thanks for the info

[@trainknut]

@@marcot3333 among a number of other rebuilds between 37 and 41 that brought her up to spec with the later 4-8-4s. People often forget 3751 looked a lot more like 4-8-2 like 1522 when she rolled out of the factory than she looks like now. She's actually officially classified as a "heavy mountain" not a "northern" because of this, originally she was built as a 3700 series 4-8-2 with a larger firebox and extra trailing axle. They did the same thing with 4-6-4s, referring to them as Heavy Pacific's rather than Hudson's for the same reason, the original Hudson's were really just bigger 4-6-2s.

[@09JDCTrainMan]

Welcome back 3751!

[@Mauscmkwk]

It would be cool if they did a doubleheader with 2926

[@SniperMachineryMedia]

Or at the very least … do an excursion . LA to Fullerton is only a 30-45 min run

[@JesusRodriguez-jc1qo3751]

Do you want to see a back of the 3751 nukimoto steam train?😮
