Regarding the Big Blow Turbines, MTH did make this engine twice. Engine #5 was made with the first version of Protosounds, and #26 was made with PS2. Both feature 4 motors and smoke units in each engine. Both nice pullers for long freight consists.

Wonderful tour! This might be a "must see" stop after the LCCA convention before returning back to TN.

Absolutely! Were you able to make the trip out there following the LCCA convention?
@carlcewinski62455 ай бұрын
LCCA store and member trading store depleted my wallet. A fun convention though!

Great video! That was Doyle McCormick's NKP rs unit. I think that Santa Fe locomotive was an ALCo RSD15 Alligator. Thanks for sharing your visit. I hope to get out there someday. -Ricky

Union station is one of my most beloved places in the world, I’m glad you enjoyed your visit! For some context on the NKP unit, it is indeed a working loco. The livery is not historically accurate tho, it never worked on the NKP. It’s actually Utah Railway 306, which worked out of Provo until it retired in the 80’s. It was then bought by the Oregon rail heritage center, and lived there up until a few years ago when it was given to Union station and returned to Utah. It’s due to be repainted into the previous Utah railway livery soon, and should look a lot more accurate!

One locomotive that wasn’t present in the video was the Western Pacific GP35 3002 that was just recently restored. It was donated to the museum by the previous owner, the Arkansas Midland Railroad.

UP 833 still has her whistle attached to it and theres a recording of 836 and 833 on possibly one of the last doubleheaders on the UP for passenger service recorded by Howard fogg I'm wondering what 833s whistle would sound like maybe someday 844 could wear it
