Santa Fe 3751 Steam Special to San Diego 2010

[@liam04294]

12:30 a perfect train shot in my opinion

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

THE most iconic shot of this entire channel with no doubt

[@urkenik1281]

NOT a train! Did you HEAR what Mike said? A trolley. Silly!

[@SoCalRailfanner6952]

13:07 the fact that 2105 was the F40 leading the coaster made it more memorable. Long live the famous intro!

[@MJSHorror]

I love that whistle, I even close my eyes

[@aerodisfunction9896]

I love the Santa Fe 4-8-4’s. I didn’t know that the people who own the locomotive currently only bought 3751 for a d o l l a r

[@Handlesarestoopid]

Crazy right?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Yup! It was really just for the purpose of making it a legal transaction from the city to the historical society.

What!? It was just something for PUBLICITY?

[@overpoweredsteamproduction513]

2926: pathetic.

[@Leatherface123.]

Union Pacific: They paid for it?

[@Cr1mesJugm3nt_shorts]

Oh, I love that 6 chime whistle. My favorite of all time.

[@stevew270]

The collaboration between AT&SF and Baldwin during the years of steam sure did produce some good looking locomotives.

[@nstrainfanyt]

13:08 In my opinion, this is the clip from CoasterFan2105 that I will remember most of all. Always loved watching this channel since it was kind of what got me into trains!

It's nice to see this train from the outside. I was riding in (as I recall) the 2nd Amfleet car back. Coincidentally, CoasterFan2105, this is the trip which first introduced me to Coaster and I took a great photo of their F40PH # 2105 at Carlsbad station.

Hi Mike; Thank you for the great look back and the story that goes with it. Watching the railfans crowding the open vestibule windows and the baggage card doors reminds me of the early 1960's in Ontario when the Upper Canada Railway Society sponsored many steam excursions behind CNR's Northern class 4-8-4's locomotives. I spent many days in those baggage cars. They always had a number of large tables which were full of fans' reel to reel tape decks recording the history. It is sad that no organization stepped up to the plate with a commitment to preserve/restore such power when the certifications expired. Nice work ! And thank you for sharing.

These sets will be sent to replace the Horizon set on the Surfliner. The other 3 will be broken up to replace the Superliners on the Surfliner.

Thank you for the 3751 to San Diego video, Mike. I enjoyed it.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Parovoz0251]

Santa Fe 3751 is an interesting locomotive to me. If it existed anywhere else I really wouldn’t care for it but it was the large steam locomotive in my area and I have grown more fond of it because of that. It’s probably 3rd place on my list for the steam locomotive in restoration is due to return soon right behind 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley and 3801. I’ll definitely be seeing her when she’s back.

[@AS768]

Top notch video, Mike! It was cool to go back in time.

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

Oh Yeah! I almost forgot... 10 years ago on this day, the 3751 sure got a lot of attraction by many people and just seeing so many videos!

[@chendersonrailproductions704]

Man, this has got to be one of your best videos ever! But then again I biased because 3751 is one of my favorite steam locomotives! I only hope to be able to chase her someday.

Great footage and video Mike! That weekend was sure a fun one and one of my first excursions behind mainline steam power. I too just recently re-shared some of those memories of the footage my family and I got of this excursion on my channel too. Thanks for re-sharing your footage to your viewers!

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

[@btomimatsucunard]

Oh my god this is memory lane for me. This was my first ever steam excursion, and a big one for me since I had been dreaming of going behind 3751 since I was a kid in the early 2000's. Great work on the documentary!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you very much! It's sometimes really neat to go back through all the old video and put something like this together. Lots of good old memories.

[@bandonBrandoor]

Santa Fe 3751 is an awesome locomotive. Hopefully it will do some more excursions in the future.

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

Unusual to see 5 cars on a Surfliner in 2010. Also #507 was sold last year.

[@theUP844]

Where did you hear that 507 has been sold? Unless you've heard that from an official source, I would take that with a grain of salt. Amtrak rebuilt the dash-8s a few years ago, so I doubt they'll be going anywhere for a while.

[@thetrainandtoycarchannel8018]

I was waiting to see the full video when 3751 Meets coaster train. Awesome! 3751 is a very cool locomotive! Santa fe 3751 pulls an amtrak train!

From what I’ve read 3751 is scheduled to return very shortly. I’ve been following the FRA 15-year rebuild on their Facebook and according to the group, the rebuild is almost done.

I recommend going there around the night time and afternoon because a lot of GE locomotives come by... also the best railfanning spots would have to be Bixby drive, Stimson ave, and Fullerton road off of Valley Blvd oh yeah almost forgot the best time to railfan would be around night would be 12 am and 6 am because it gets very busy over there at night and for noon would be around 4-6 PM... but yeah tell me what you think.

[@DanielGomez-gw4kt]

From before, when they would run this steam locomotive. They used to have real Santa Fe silver coaches behind it, and of course Santa Fe diesel locomotives as well to help. But nowadays I don't know if Amtrak owns the steam locomotive, but I would see some Amtrak locomotives and a mix-up of other coaches behind-the-scene locomotive. And that's not right. I hope to see you real silver Santa Fe coaches, and BNSF locomotives behind the steam locomotive if they ever use it again. Because I really want to see Santa Fe tradition for the steam locomotive itself, and to give some real nostalgia for the entire train itself. And to have BNSF locomotives behind the steam locomotive, I won't mind on that. I just want to see a real nostalgic tradition of the Santa Fe to be used for the steam locomotive itself, along with the help of two or three BNSF locomotives

[@CoasterFan2105]

The Santa Fe cars were only used for the 1992 employee appreciation trips I think. All the other trips have been a mix of privately owned and Amtrak cars.

[@shanewalters2565]

Awesome video, I can't wait to see her return to service in soon when she passes the boiler inspection, hopefully Richard Anderson doesn't get in the way for ruining our railroads, everybody just hates him including me! One con I have to admit was 8:57 when you said quiet zone, it just makes me mad to see people not realise that more cars are getting hit every year thanks to them, and yet they claim quiet zones are there to help them feel relaxed and peaceful, but when the horn sounds off, it damages their ears supposedly causing noise pollution, I totally doubt that! I really hope they start removing quiet zones soon to teach those people a lesson about railroad safety, if they don't like the horn, either they get used to it or simply move to a different area, but asking for quiet zones, oh ho no, don't get me started with those!
