I thought you might like to see the best locomotive ever built doing what it was designed to do. Of all of Man's creations, the steam locomotive has to be one of the most noble and majestic. I had the good fortune of working on this locomotive back in the late 1980's when it was still in service on the Norfolk Southern.

You can go to youtube & search for "observed trials" to see others. If you find a PA National, you might see me.

Freddy, Is this what you do on the weekends? http://www.livevideo.com/video/rclark23/1148711846344476836B6590D3CF89BE/trials-bike-etreme-stunts-whe.aspx

What an incredible honor.

The video was amazing. It is an impressive locomotive. My wife heard the video from the upstairs and came running down to see it.

How does that locomotive compare in power with a current freight diesel we might see in service now in the northeast? I guessed that it would require three diesels to pull that line of cars.

Those coal cars look empty to me. Still it is very impressive.

Depends on the size of the diesels and track grade etc. but 2 or 3 would be the norm for a train of empties.
