[@rhark25]

What a nice restoration. The old girl looks factory fresh!

[@jfmeador-20thcenturybricks84]

Great to see a beautiful engine come back to life! Well done to Nevada Northern's crew!

[@airailimages]

It sure is!

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

Beautiful scenery and a really good looking consolidation steam locomotive make this video worth watching. 👍😉

[@airailimages]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@j.a.mccord515]

The run-by at 18 minutes is perfect: perfectly fired and working the grade with a bit of stack talk. WOW!!!

[@kennysherrill6542]

Cool old engine, nice to see the wigwaggs that Rick's Restorations fixed and restored. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸

[@thunderbird1921]

Great to see a third Nevada Northern locomotive restored. What a magical place Ely has become.

[@airailimages]

It sure is!

[@H.pylori]

had the good fortune to have ridden in the cab of old #81 one week ago. Did not know that it had just been returned to service the prior year. Your views of this venerable engine are fantastic. Thanks for posting.

[@airailimages]

You are very welcome. Glad you had the opportunity for a cab ride.

[@megatwingo]

Very nice video. Well filmed & edited. Amazing steam engine. Good, that they brought her into running condition again. Cool little yellow shunting locomotive with a formidable diesel sound. Thumbs up! :) Greetings Mega

[@ridemgis]

Love everything about this except for the safety first sign on the front!

[@ronweiss8529]

Beautiful restore. Good to see that Dirt is still on the job. Give him a behind the ear scratch for me.

[@cheezart895]

The sounds of the air compressors sound like the southern pacific cab forwards

Great video and coverage of #81 airailimages, greetings from New Jersey.

[@airailimages]

Thank you very much!

[@MacTonight50]

Great video Fred!! Thanks for highlighting 81's great restoration. We spend a lot of time in Ely at the NNRY as can be seen on my channel. Thanks again!

[@airailimages]

Yes -- the Nevada Northern Railway is always worth the trip. Thanks for commenting.

[@martinpennock9430]

Thanks again for another great train video! God bless you and yours. Thank you for all you do! Amazing stuff. I think I mentioned before my dad's uncle worked on the old steamers in Cheyenne for UP. Again, God bless you and yours! 🇺🇸😊👍

[@airailimages]

Union Pacific steam in Cheyenne was a big deal! That's neat to have a family connection to that era.

[@martinpennock9430]

@@airailimages He worked on all the locomotives, Diesel and Electric too. He was a master Machinist. He actually was still driving Hudson cars and trucks in the late 60's! He had a shop on his property and just kept making parts for them! Thanks for the reply. Love the channel!!!

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Another spectacular restoration now the Nevada Northern has three operating steam locomotives surprisingly the only three that have survived with 81 back-end operation now they can focus on finishing the long years mandate on number 40

[@paulaajohnson2597]

Beautiful.

[@valleycreekrailwayco1648]

A beautiful engine, love the green boiler jacketing.

[@diliphalpati7194]

Namaste Sir good night Sir very nice video & steam locomotive old is gold Sir. Very nice Sir hat's off to you Sir. Thank's Sir.

[@joebutterman3084]

She looks great now; she always seemed sad and lost, somehow, when she was on static display downtown across from the cemetary.

[@airailimages]

Yes, it is a cause for celebration each time another old steam locomotive returns to operational condition.

[@WasatchGarandMan]

I live fairly close to Ely, but I was out of town when they ran 81. Sad I missed it

[@Flyboy207]

Nevada Northern flew a job opening last year for a mechanic or an engineer(?), it was tempting but I don’t really want to live somewhere that cold ever in my life.

[@airailimages]

I was just there a few days ago. I always enjoy Ely. I dunno... it could be tempting.

[@lynnwashington3820]

I want to cry

[@brianfalzon6739]

That must be a Lunkenheimer 3 Chime on 81!

[@ChiefAUS]

I liked the cat story at the beginning. Why is the caboose at the front and not at the back where it belongs? At the 15:00 mark or about. What was that small engine? Great video. Thanks.

[@airailimages]

Don't know why they ran the trains that way on Friday; on Saturday, caboose position was normal (video to come soon...) The yellow diesel is a 1950 GE switcher used by Kennecott mines in Nevada.

[@ChiefAUS]

@@airailimages Thanks

[@cheezart895]

The air compressors sound like the ones from the cab forwards

[@atsf855sanbernardinocounty85]

When will Nevada Northern will restoration that Southern Pacific Heavyweight Coach Passenger Car @5:32-5:34 & restore Cotton Belt Boxcar they been just rushed hope they will do that this month or this next november.

[@JA-ds2cc]

Great restoration. What does it burn for fuel? Coal? Diesel conversion?

[@airailimages]

Coal. Thanks for watching!

[@joebutterman3084]

You're in East Ely, NV

[@MagnetOnlyMotors]

2:16 poor kitty needs a good bath. 7:47 something needs a bit of oily stuff. 9:55 that cyclist is keeping up with it.

[@leepenlack5548]

what is the top speed of this engine?

[@airailimages]

Good question -- maybe someone can supply that info. I think they limit train speeds to 15 mph on the track.

[@pramodbais1486]

🙏👍💕

[@darryldomingo7890]

This train has to be in No 95 78 No krm905
