When the locomotive crossed the 8th street crossing many volunteers including my self were brought to tears.

It was a great day for the 2926 crew of volunteers. Hats off to them!

Really great to see 2926 alive and well, what a beautiful machine. We are definitely in an amazing period of steam revival. 2926 represents one of the few surviving and operating fully modern steam engines along with the N&W J. She has roller bearings, centralized lubrication, one piece cast frame, hollow cast disc drivers, Timken lightweight roller rods, and just about every modern thermal conservation device applied to a steam locomotive. Technologically, these rank right up there with the NYC Niagara. There's a lot of great surviving modern steam out there but very few are this state of the art. Can't wait to see her running out on the main line. Truly some of Baldwin's finest work on display here Now if we can just all figure out how to get 1218 running again and an ATSF 2-10-4 I'd be happy.

Wonderful new, indeed! Tears of joy!

Let's hope 2926 will be able to do the true test: Getting on the mainline for the first time in many, many, MANY years! :D

Beyond thrilled to see this beauty back on the rails!! A magnificent restoration job!! Bravo to you all!!

I donated to them for years, I'm since retired on a fixed income and can't help any more. So glad to see this!

Some great footage! loved watching it go by! Had a 10' tall shipping container platform to watch it from! fun watching everyones videos!

That is one gorgeous peace of steam machinery. Can’t substitute the sounds and smells of hot steel, oil and steam. Boilers Officer USN.

A beautiful locomotive with an excellent whistle :)))

Sweet. Very sweet.

I'm from near Los Angeles, and we have the ATSF 3751. It's so awesome to see TWO engines of the same size and railroad back to life again. Santa Fe definitely needs to get these two sisters together, maybe they could even double head a train... that'd be an amazing sight to see!

Can't wait to see it paired up with 3751. Man those Santa Fe Northerns are gorgeous!

Hooray!!

Beautiful locomotive.

history in the making all aboard

Magnificent restoration of this beautiful steam locomotive. Congratulations to all of the people who made this happen.

wow!! so fast, looks like it blew some hats off too! jokes aside, this is a really cool video!

ATSF #2926 is back to steam after a restoration and could do excursions on the mainline. Welcome ATSF #2926. Tractor Brewing company and back again.

It brings me so much Joy seeing another great steam locomotive restored and preserved for the future generations. Steam locomotives are one of my favorite things In the whole world.

Great video

I know the CSX CEO, and I’ll definitely show him this

What a fantastic sight that it is to see ATSF 4-8-4 type 2926 back in operation again, hopefully there will be planned passenger excursion trips scheduled for later this year. I would also really enjoy to see a reunion meeting between the 2926 and the 3751 at some point in the future.

Nice catch

Good video

2926 really needs a slipping test with greasy rails, and I saw a old black and white movie about ROCK ISLAND RR, testing their 4-8-2 Mountain, on greasy rails, and throwing out sparks like the FIREBALL EXPRESS!!!!! WOW!!!!! KOOOOOL!!!!! HI IN MAY 2023A.D!!!!!

You all have put in a terrific effort to restore this fabulous locomotive! She truly is a work of art. Thank you so much for bringing her back to life.

I'll think of going to see the 2926 again. But I might get chapped lips from going there. Oh, and imagine if she had Auxiliary tenders for long distance trips.

“HIGH STACKING “IT TOO! LOVE TO SEE ON A HEAVY FREIGHT RUN! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!!👍👍

Nice

She really looks good in her shiny new paint, but I wish they would put on the finishing touches. Give her a "manicure" by painting whitewalls on her wheels and tender wheels.

TURNTABLE!!-! NEXT TRIP. OK!!-!

Congratulations to the crew what a heartwarming moment so happy to see this locomotive under power and moving congratulations 🎉 to everyone involved so looking for the mainline videos and test runs ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Nice loco

Beautiful thing and a beautiful sounding bell! Well done, all!👍🏻🎅👍🏻

Nice to see her restored and well cared for. Steam has always been and remains alive and well. Thank you ALL.

She is a handsome lady to be sure.

The Iron Horse awakens!

I like with your video you 🎉

That ATSF 6 chime sounds amazing at 300 psi!

What a beauty!

Another beautiful historic Northern Riding The rails once again

3:16 look at the locomotive’s funnel for a magic trick

Great video ! Thank you !

Great view of the day!

Roller bearings, modern, oil fired, she's gorgeous! BNSF needs to run her system-wide!

Outstanding!

Just a Beautiful Site ❤

she's alive! and on the move! hat's off to the volunteers!

Sounds like music to my ears!!! I’ve got a few songs that have train mimicking music, with harmonica, steel guitar, acoustic & electric guitar, drums, etc. I need to find a train song that features real train sound!

Very nice, like ! ! !

That is awesome news! The group has done a superb job with 2926. Let's hope they get to see the mainline soon!

You named your dog Zephyr? THAT'S KOO-OL!!!

Waited so long for this moment.vall our work now it paid off. #290 .more to come go 2926.

Is it a Baldwin? No acorn on the top of the bell, and that's a trademark of Baldwin.

I wonder if the Madam Queen will ever be started back up again.

Enjoy😂🎉

It is great to see another historic steam locomotive restored back to operating condition. This is the first run on the rail road tracks in many years. Obviously the steam locomotive is being tested for any problems. Eventually this locomotive will need a longer break in run.

Would it be awesome to see 2926 double head a train along with 3751 since it got restored too? (3:24 that person got steam blown at him/her)

Hats off to the crew for a job well done! I hope BNSF will allow you guys mainline runs, given that 2926 is more than capable of track speed operation. Plus being a direct ancestor to modern day BNSF they cant really claim shes not a predecessor locomotive.

Be nice to see a refurbished operating GG-1

Sounds like 261, 6325 and 765

It’s time to get’er out on the high iron and feed ‘er lots of rail.

Silly question- why does the smoke stack extend & retract?

...a part... ...wHether... (at 10:54)

Can someone explain to me the purpose behind its smokestack being able to extend and retract like a pantograph?

This was just a test run right?

whats with that guy walking up to the other guy and pushing him ? he's behind the line ???

JUST WOW AND CONGRATS TO THE BUILDERS BECAUSE ABQ DOESN'T FINISH ANYTHING IT STARTS!!!

Excellent video fantatic Like and greeting my Friend from Argentina nuevo suscriptor suscribete 😊

She’s been restored for a little while now, arnt they just wasting tube time by not having her out somewhere yet? Not trying to be insulting just a genuine question
