Here Comes the Freedom Train - Trainz

Happy 4th of July
**NOT MY SONG**

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

On my model railway every year since 2020 for July 4th, I always run a mockup of the American Freedom Train with the finest engines in my collection. In 2020 it was 630, in 2021 it was 4501, in 2022, it was 5448, and in 2023 it’s ACL 1525 and N&W 943 at the head.

[@xavi-kun]

Suggestion: for 2026, if you can get them, run it with one of the three original Freedom Train engines (Reading 2101, SP 4449 and T&P 610) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Train.

@@xavi-kun I’ll try. I don’t know if I’ll have enough money to get even one of them.

[@James89378]

@@xavi-kunI just got a 4449 freedom train

[@texasandpacific610]

I wish I could have seen the Freedom Train in action. Of course my favorite steam engine that pulled the Freedom Train has to be the Texas and Pacific 610

[@diddlebug7241]

I've had the privilege of sitting in the cab of T&P 610 located at the Texas State Railroad. The first time I saw 610 I immediately recognized it as having pulled the Freedom Train when it came to Mobile, AL. I was told 610 didn't pull the train outside of Texas but I'm positive it was 610 that came to Mobile.

[@simpson2008gaming]

@Rope the orca 4473 4449 is the one that came to al

[@xavi-kun]

I’m not exactly sure abt this but I feel like you might be confusing 610 for 2101. 2101 again took charge of the AFT from 4449 at Birmingham before switching again with Daylight in DC.

[@RobertDILLONIII]

America needs to remember this pride. We need this train in 2024!

[@erenn6476]

I remember my sister and I had this song on 45 growing up

[@blackhawk7r221]

The red white and blue Freedom Train steam locomotive sits outside the B&O railroad museum in Baltimore. Go see her, and about 50 others. World’s best train museum.

[@gamerfan8445]

You mean Reading 2101

[@HugoRomeroJiménez-i8h]

I didn' t have the luck to see it but i can imagine how great and incredible it was

[@tylergreen4843]

I really wish 610 would run again, same with Santa fe 5000

[@santafewarbonnetproductions]

Same I wish some of the ATSF articulated locomotives we're still around

[@jsgaming3248]

I really wish Atsf 3460 class 4-6-4 no.3463 would run again.

[@borkaberic8633]

Same with 2101

[@tylergreen4843]

@@borkaberic8633 it's only good for a cosmetic restoration unfortunately. But we at least have 2100 and 2102 coming back

Lyrics: All aboard America Here comes the freedom train, All aboard America, here coooomes the freedom train. The freedom train is rolling down 200 years of track. 200 years of glory, Never to turn back. The train is called America, Your ticket is a dream. That left the torcher's freedom board, For all the world to see. She left the station in 1776, And rode to Philadelphia, Where the Liberty bell was fixed. George Washington was the Engineer, John Adams shoveled coal, And Franklin punched the tickets, Thom' Jefferson added soul. All aboard America Here comes the freedom train, All aboard America, here coooomes the freedom train She rode to New Orleans, In the battle of 1812, With Ol' Hickory at the throttle, She drove drove the British out. The freedom was a fine train, The toughest that world has seen. Her whistle blows for Liberty, With a mighty head of steam. Wheels Sported theough the sweaty fields of Pittsburgh, And rolled across the Mississip' From Texas To Missouri, For one Real exciting trip, The BANG the track was broken, Smashed by a cannonball, With the Blue And Gray Divided, Will the nation Stand 'Er fall? All aboard America Here comes the freedom train, All aboard America, here coooomes the freedom train. When Honest Dave stepped in the cab, And the wheels began to roll, The Freedom train was never stopped, The rebublic never folds, Through the Bloody Fields of Gettysburg, Tears shone in his eyes, He drove the train with fury, And the Freedom Train Survived. And Again, the train rolled westward, To California Shores, Through the deserts and the Praries, Even Stronger than Before, From Atlanta to Mississippi, She rolled the rails with pride, She travelled along the tracks, With the good lord on her side. All aboard America Here comes the freedom train, All aboard America, here coooomes the freedom train There's much more to this story, Like Wilson And Roosevelt. They left the train with Truman, Who stoked it mighty well, And Dwight D. Eisenhower, And LGBK sang, And 2 brothers known as Giddidenne, and Martin Luther King. And still the train rolls forward, Over History's rugged trail. Straightened by the Journey, And the Land beneath the rails. And You & I roll along, Stroked with the freedom fire, For we stand all "Americans All!" Though honor can be hired. All aboard America Here comes the freedom train, All aboard America, here coooomes the freedom train. (Harmonica) The end. Happy (Late) 4th of July America!

The American Freedom Train

[@trainsignal123]

Thank you- I was able to see this wonderful train when it was in the Boston RR yard (which is now buildings) - we didn't have the 4449 up here but the number 1 because of the track. Did you know that after the conclusions 4449 became a movie star back in the original Daylight colors, but the road name was Changed to the "Coast Star" I believe in Disney's Adult Company ( Touchstone) in the movie Toughguys!!! Happy fourth of July and God Bless America! We need all the help we can get!!!

[@tylergustafson1904]

Happy 4th of July to you too

Nice video, Happy fourth 'o July

[@CJStheartist]

Fun fact: N&W #611 was supposed to pull the American freedom train, but they couldn't fire it up in time so they used #4449 from the southern pacific

[@maxwellsteam5810]

You've got a bit of that wrong. #611 was chosen for Promotional Art and a possible Candidate to haul the Freedom Train, but the AFT never got the rights to the 611.

[@CJStheartist]

@@maxwellsteam5810 wait really???

[@maxwellsteam5810]

@@CJStheartist Yeah, no restoration work was ever done on 611 until NS Got it in 1982. 611's feature was just promotional and theoretical, same with 759's promotional designs.

[@northtexastrainzfan3081]

Also 4449 was restored to pull the freedom train

[@Steamies2011-braydenthefef-1]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954

[@clinchfieldtheghostfriendly]

That’s where it’s wrong, sometimes they still do, they probably didn’t know it’s old.
