Achison, Topeka & Santa Fe No. 2926 Steam Train First Excursion To Tractor Brewery Co. (May 2023)

READ:
In another milestone for No. 2926 and her team of volunteers from the New Mexico Steam Locomotive & Railroad Historical Society, she was fired up and run on her own power 4 blocks from the restoration site to Tractor Brewery Co. on the morning of May 6, 2023. This would be the first time 2926 has run down public tracks in 70 years. There she was displayed under steam as part of a fundraiser for the NMSL&RHS, with both ground and cab tours being offered along with merch.
They still have a long ways to go before the locomotive will be in a position to haul main line excursions between Albuquerque and Las Vegas, NM, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. Please head over to 2926.us/ and give them your support! Enjoy =)

Indeed :) Along with having a living and breathing Union Pacific Big Boy in operation since 2019, things are sure looking up for steam revival :3 Let's hope the same can apply to a steam locomotive that is No. 1 for me: Frisco 1522 :3

That is so freaking pretty. Both my great-gpa, my gpa & my mom all three worked for the Santa Fe. About 72 years & 6 months combined service between the 3. 30 years, 29 years & 6 months and 13 years, respectively.

Okay @Fan Railer... in one of your RRHMA Donation Special videos, you had the video length being 55:11 which of course matched one of the locomotives that the group in Silvis, IL obtained. :) And now shown here in one of your 2926 videos, you now have the video length being 29:26 ! :D Seriously.... how do you even do that? XD

@FanRailer Жыл бұрын

haha it's not terribly difficult. Just have more footage than the target length, then cut it down while editing.

@jimmyhook4852 Жыл бұрын

@@FanRailer Nice :) In some ways it kind of reminds me of K&L Trainz whenever the promo videos for new content reaches a certain length :3 For example.... the N&W J Northern Pack promo had the video length being 6:11 and with of course 611 herself being the star of the promo. ;)

Her whistle sounds similar to the SP 6 chime that the 4449 once sported.

@Gretschdude1412 Жыл бұрын

That's because it's also a 6 chime although with ATSF's specific chord. 4449 is also at 300 psi giving it that slightly higher note!

I had a dream, a beautiful dream. One day all the sirens of American locomotives hit and finally there was peace and quiet, and the beautiful sounds of the machine working and not that fucking noise every 3 seconds for damn sure what for.

@lokomac8 Жыл бұрын

Very nice overall! I lament the loss of the old No. 8 brake equipment, but the installation of the 26 is well done. On an historical note, what old diesel-electric sacrificed the 26L stand? Nice cab interview and some very good questions were asked and good answers provided.

@FanRailer Жыл бұрын

The brake stand did not necessarily have to come off a diesel. It could have just been new old stock, or a spare lying around in a shop somewhere that was donated. 26L brakes are so common, they’re a dime a dozen.

@lokomac8 Жыл бұрын

@@FanRailer well, you are correct -- but it could have also come from a scrapped D-E. Since we no longer have the historic 8EL equipment, I was just curious about the "history" of the new brake stand. And, I'd still like to know. I guess working as a railroader for 42 years and being a power braker and air artist will do that to one. I am as big of a fan of air brakes as I am the locomotives themselves.

Haha nice. And yea, I get the sentiment behind the curiosity. I feel much the same about whistles.
