Great locomotive, I'm always glad to see it out and about. Mr. Markoff has done a fantastic job keeping this piece of history alive. Hopefully, it will eventually return to the rails of D&S. Nice video.

I'm not sure if this train can ever run on these track anymore as of 2021 because the other trains caused alot of forest fires killing ppl and lose of many buildings, companie that runs the steam trains being sued. I believe they converted all to oil burning , so this being a wood burning train may never be allowed to run on tracks ever again

The 1472 SDI (service day inspection) means that at a minimum the jacketing and lagging is removed from the boiler, the sheets are ultrasounded, the tubes are removed and tube sheets cleaned and inspected, calculations are done for boiler strength, boiler cleaned, new tubes installed, driving axles are ultrasounded, frame inspected. This is in addition to the normal annual inspection (mechanical inspection, boiler wash, hydro test, internal boiler inspection, tender inspection)

It's a shame the chances of this engine returning to D&S is very unlikely now because it only visited for the railfest events which stopped being held after 2013. Not t mention the fire dangers with the fleet being oil fired now. I think it's fair to say, that the chances of Eureka retrying to this place is very slim.

I've watched a million videos of engines, but lately I've seen several of Eureka, and these are some of the best videos on this subject I've seen. Don't know what makes them so much better, exactly; it must be someone who really knows the art just stands out that way. What do others lack? Is the FRA deal that bad? What takes so long? The repairs? I'm sure flue tubes and sheet thickness is part of it, but what else? Eureka is a late-model replica, right?

I suspect that the folks who paid $$$ to ride behind the Eureka specifically asked for "All the Bells and Whistles". When I was an apprentice motorman on Galloping Goose #4 on its one and only trip on the D&S, I didn't over use the signals. Although, when approaching road crossings I did make lots of noise.
