We rescued the cab forward Steam Locomotive!

[@charsbob]

Sadly, 4274 was scrapped in 1959. Also, it weighed something north of 600,000 lbs., meaning that it would snap the masts of 100-ton cranes like matchsticks. This is a lovely fantasy, but only that.

[@maximomiglionico430]

It's not AC-12 4274 it's AC-11 4252!

What a Great Rescue and Recovery...... A major undertaking... However, this proves that Man has created this magnificent machine and Man such as Mr. Gustave ( The Magnificent ) will bring it to its former glory... Rest assured that... The Golden hands of Mr. Gustave with his superior knowledge and imagination will bring this masterpiece of engineering back to life such as others that warranted restoration..... All The Very Best... Mr. Gustave... ( The Magnificent )...... George and Irene Stouraites.

[@immortlsans99]

That was a very satisfactory piece of engineering and the process was phenomenal to see, I hope to see the gratifying restoration of this magnificent locomotive and its tender. Brilliant.

[@uniontrains.8631]

4274 and 4294 would make a nice doubleheader together.

[@F40M07]

4274 is scrapped and 4294 is preserved at the CSRM with no plans to restore it. What I’ve heard from people in the museum, there was water left in the boiler when SP donated it to the CSRM. She’ll never run again

[@sycho-blud]

@F40M07 I wouldn't say that. Maybe in the future, 4294 will come back. Btw it's a He.

I wished that all cab forwards were saved from scrap and bring them to Oregon.

[@milak111234]

WOW!!Excellent well planned Rescue operation of rare ex. SP AC-8 loco!!It is a miracle thta SW shunting loco can take such sharp curve!!!I love it!!I will wait for the restored loco!!All guiding wheel s are not spinning I hope that they will not become square form until they reach Repair shop!!

[@RandomRetroTrainGuy82]

It’s AC-11

[@milak111234]

@RandomRetroTrainGuy In the first video if You watch carefully it was AC-8.Find real photo of SP AC-8 4188,4198 or 4201.Let Gustavtime tell!!

[@sullyway51]

Also Sacramento only has one and its in the rail museum in Old Sacramento. All the old railyards and maintenance facilities have been torn down and removed.

[@Trainmaster437]

Ever thought of using a 35 ton Plymouth Locomotive it has a shorter wheelbase it can make that curve. 35 ton Plymouth Ml-8 can do it under 18° radius

[@joshthetrainfan]

Man, it's amazing you got that thing out of there! Restore this baby to SP 4274! Maybe make an abandoned BNSF/GECX C44-9W next!

[@RandomRetroTrainGuy82]

2:54 Meanwhile, while the workers were getting the crane to rescue the cab forward before the number was revealed, an unknown person tagged the number 4252 on the back of the engines’ tender secretly.

[@Collinthetrainfanatic]

Then my guess is this former SP cab forward must be an AC-11

such a tight fit you wouldnt catch me standing under that loco like those workers were if the wheels turn there is hope

The forgotten Cab Forward is getting the love he deserves. No. 4274

[@SEIC2K6IsImproving]

Successful recovery of the cab forward. Now it's on the path to restoration. However the consist is moving slowly due to the cab forward being in really bad shape. It'll take a while for the recovery consist to get to the workshop. Once it's there, restoration and repair work will commence.

My question is how did a cab forward get in an ally way in the first place?

[@F40M07]

Good question

[@ncpalafox]

Maybe there used to be a switch to the tracks that’s why?

[@BF-qt2wp]

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

[@josepantoja5033]

let’s hope this locomotive won’t get in an accident or get forgotten… again.

[@jhonsiders6077]

You all know this is not real right ? You would need a lot more crane to pick that locomotive I own a heavy haul outfit worked with a lot of rigging and crane companies have moved rolling mills stamping presses and brakes over 200 K weights . Where are the air lines to the locomotive and did they lube it and fill the oil reservoir and check the pump ?

[@Dr.Disney]

How cool would it be if it actually happened

[@matthewpowell2429]

I can't wait to see this beast back in operation. BTW, what about the other engines you found, any progress?

[@GUSTAVTIME]

@matthewpowell2429 Right now we are preparing all the restorations!

[@trentduggan5650]

Cool

[@bcgrittner]

I saw 4452 on the tender. Perhaps it was borrowed from a GS-4.

[@RandomRetroTrainGuy82]

It’s actually 4252.

[@Franco-dg9bn]

Here are some options for the cab forward steam locomotive after its restoration: 1:send the locomotive to a railroad museum 2:allow the locomotive to be back in service

Lucky all the linkages and pistons still move on that steamer after sitting for 50 years. I thought it would get dropped onto one of those flatcars.
