PRR K4 1361 (The Spirit Of Altoona)

This is a Fan Made Music Video supporting the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museums efforts to rebuild PRR 1361 to operating status.
I have no affiliation with this project I just enjoy and want to raise awareness for it.

The lyrics were written and edited entirely by me and preformed by Suno Ai after a ridiculous amount of tweaking to make it sound how I wanted.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the Keystone State,
Lived a mighty iron horse.
Built in Juniata's shops, where dreams were born,
The P-R-R K4, numbered Thirteen Sixty-One.
With wheels that turned through valleys deep,
And hills that echoed its mighty leap.
It served the Pennsy line with pride,
A legend on the rails.
(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.
(Verse 2)
In 1918, this giant came to life,
A symbol of strength in times of strife.
Through wars and peace, it forged ahead,
On steel tracks where dreams are made.
From Altoona’s yards to Pittsburgh’s mills,
Its presence was strong, its power real.
A marvel of its time, a sight to see,
The P-R-R K4, in its glory.
(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.
(Bridge) (sad but hopeful)
Years rolled by, and time stood still,
For this iron horse up on that hill.
Rust and decay began to claim, as modern engines roll along its former right of way.
But the dreamers and the workers, with hearts so pure,
Saw the value in the past and a future secure.
With hands that toiled and minds that knew,
They will bring back a spirit that once flew.
(Verse 3)
Through the Allegheny Mountains
A silhouette of power against the sky.
With steam, fire, and a whistle’s cry,
The spirit of Americas railroads will never die.
The restoration began with a spark of hope,
As volunteers and donors helped it cope.
Piece by piece, they will bring it back,
(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.
(Verse 4)
Imagine the future when this engine runs,
Beneath the moon and the morning suns.
Through towns and fields, on ribbons of steel,
With magic of the past you can feel.
Please help make this dream come true,
To keep history’s spirit alive.
Donations and care, every penny counts,
To ensure this legacy surmounts.
(outro)
Join us in this quest, be a part of the tale,
Help us in restoring this iron horse to the rails.
Let’s bring back the Thirteen Sixty-One with pride,
And keep it with us for a long time.

Wonderful song! If a real artist can sing this one then that will be absolutely fantastic as she returns to steam. We may not have any New York Central Hudsons, but we do have PRR K4s still around.

[@Slipperyisimproving]

PRR #1361 is 100% the spirit of Altoona. She's soon to be the pride of the Railroaders Memorial Museum and Pennsylvania. Not even dieselization could stop #1361.

[@blairterry9435]

Truly amazing.

[@wolfzillaproductions4563]

This should play at the Railroader’s Museum when 1361 is steamed up again after the restoration is completed, it’s that good

[@amtrak1214]

This

[@blairterry9435]

For sure! 1361 is truly a legend on her way to rebirth and carry on the PRR Legacy.

[@Trainmanproductions]

I may or may not be working on that right now but thats all i can say rn.

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

Well done! This song really speaks me so much and I’m so proud to be a weekly donor for this beauty! Let’s make this viral!

[@zachycards]

I did say that I would make sure that the world watched this vid of yours. And I think that I've delivered so far.

[@Stussmeister]

Very nice. As a lifelong railroad/train fan and native of Pennsylvania (who has an HO scale model of this locomotive), I'm very hopeful and optimistic for the day #1361 steams under her own power once more.

[@Trainmanproductions]

I to have an ho scale model of 1361 and it currently lives on my office shelf lol

[@Stussmeister]

@@Trainmanproductions That sounds neat. Mine is in its box down in the basement where I have my (in progress) layout set up.

[@csxnspittsburghdivision8580]

They need more Pennsylvania railroad steam engines

[@blairterry9435]

Like 6755, 460, and with the new T-1 5550 alongside 1361 running representing the PRR’s Legacy of steam power.

[@amtrak1214]

The pride of Pennsylvania indeed! #spiritofaltoona

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

A family friend to me my great great great grandfather was an engineer to the Pennsylvania railroad and he might’ve had the opportunity to drive 1361 when she was in revenue service to this day I have his original Railroad rule books and his 101 year old railroaders watch when 1361 is fully restored I hope to bring my grandmother and family to see up in person for my grand Pappy Link to my lineage of my grand Pappy kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5qnmZt4j7aXqsUsi=ijkr8XwDCA3Pav7B

[@Stuntpilot22]

You should totally find an actual artist to perform this!

[@irritablerisk]

@nebraska66 can we get a cover please? Also how do tags work haha.

[@kevinjennerproductions2024]

Exceptionally good especially for an AI generated song. This slaps, once I ironically get my Bowser K4 up and running again, perhaps a Music Video is in order 🤔. Although mine is 830 and not 1361

[@Trainmanproductions]

I wrote the lyrics but im happy eith how the ai preformed i spent hours and hundreds of itterations to get it to this point lol

[@ALCO-C855-fan]

I'm in the process of making a song about the Pennsylvania Railroad. Could you collaborate with me to get it done? (help me to find usable footage of the J1, K4, Q2, S1, T1 & GG1. You'll get a special shout out when it's finished.) ~Lexie
