1,472 day inspection and rebuild of B&SV #8419 is finally completed. She's ready for another 15 years of service on the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad. We also see some vintage diesels in the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad roster. Thanks for the footage on B&SV vintage diesels and B&SV #8419 the beautiful chinese Mikado in the US. She's been steamed up once more 😊☺️🤩

I love the new paint scheme. She’s no longer a China Railways engine. She’s now a proper Boone & Scenic Valley railway engine.

I've been to the BSVRR several times all the way from Texas! I'd go the the Labor Day weekend antique motorcycle show in Davenport, the old Thresher Reunion in Mt Pleasant and then to Boone. Happy memories that I hope to relive again next year. While I'm a dedicated Texan I love the mid west. I've poked around the yards in Boone and explored the Kate Shelly bridge, dozens of fast UP trains on the old Chicago and Northwestern.

Mighty glad they painted out the Chinese symbols and lettered the tender with an authentic lettering/logo and painted out the flags around the stack. Speaking of which, now all they need to do is take off that "box" over the stack and you'll have one good looking locomotive. 😁

6:08 that guy in the brown hoodie walking in the background is me. We had such a crowd that day that we had trouble keeping everyone back a safe distance. But, to be fair, after being hidden away for 6 years, people will come out and see it for its first official run, so we are happy for the supporters!

The fact that the 8419 has been on Boone and scenic valley a tourist line, it’s whole life I would say it’s had a relatively easy life

GLAD TO SEE HER BACK!!! WHEN SHE FIRST ARRIVED IN 1989, I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE ACCEPTANCE AND INSPECTION TEAM. DUE TO THE LOS ANGELES HARBOR DROP INCIDENT THERE WAS A GREAT CONCERN OF HIDDEN DAMAGE! THERE WERE SENT 5 OF THE DATONG FACTORY REPRESENTATIVES TO ALSO ASSIST WITH POSSIBLE ISSUES! WORKING WITH THE FACTORY REPS WAS A VERY INTERESTING AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE!! SHE SOUNDS GOOD , COMING UP THE HILL, THE CYLINDER VALVES ARE SET PERFECTLY!! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!!👍👍

Great to see this engine back. While I hope they add/paint on the flag details on her funnel, overall I’m not complaining. Feeling excited to see another Chinese steamer in action. Hopefully in the coming months we’ll see the same for 142 in New Jerseyz

@@metalheadrailfan what is your favorite steam locomotive? Streamliners, particularly the New York central ones, but my favorite ones currently around our union pacific 844 and some of the Chinese locomotives in America such as this one. I really wish one day we got to see O gauge models of these.

It’s disappointing that so much of the Chinese decoration has been removed from the locomotive.

From what I've heard, the switches on the run around track at Fraiser need repairs.
