I like the little Top Gear references like 11:24 Jeremy's "Yeeeessssss" then the 4:42 "I've bought a reversing horse" (train for this situation) and of course 12:26 "speed is everything, speed is good"

The 844 has an estimated top speed of 130+ it is actually faster than mallard but the track speed limits and the laws won’t let the locomotive run free but hopefully someday they can get it to melt the rails going 130

The 844 was built for speed, on the flats it can pull 26 pacinger cars over 100mph. It can get from Cheyanne to Salt Lake City in just 10 hours. Also since coal became more expensive it now runs on recycled engine oil.

844 is built for speed it could go 110 on the flats with 26 coaches

The Pistons were moving so fast, that the steam engine might have exploded!

Union Pacific 844 is like the Flying Scotsman of America. You could also run a diesel with it as it is fitted with a multiple unit system

Is she good? IS SHE GOOD?! SHE'S THE BEST STEAM ENGINE THAT EVER LIVES!

Coal is extremely expensive without a doubt. In fact, for Grand Canyon 4960, its fuel goes straight from the frying pan and into the fire, for it is powered by waste vegetable oil.

She's a high speed engine operating near 300psi of superheated steam. Back then they would run 100mph passenger trains across the plains. She is an oil burner, she used to be coal but converted to oil because of cost. Oil is more abundant in the west to midwest and not to mention coal cinders would start fires easily because of the dry environment of the area. Union Pacific just finished the FRA mandated rebuild last year. Now Union Pacific is working hard on getting 4014 rebuilt to running condition and it would be the first time a Big Boy ran since the 1950s

The thing he loves most “ IT’S GOT DOUBLE DOORS!”

Union Pacific 844, is known as a FEF-3, which basically means 4-8-4, referring to its amount of Wheels

Oh When I was younger I saw on history channel there TV show, and he did check out this train, yes it does run on oil, but in the show they used recycled engine oil.

Those lights underneath the walkways are ground lights that illuminate the track sides in the night

Lordy! That 844 is better than the T:ANE 844!

844 did run off of coal I believe for its first year, but was converted too oil fairly early in its life. Most of union pacifics steam locomotives in the later years where oil burners except for big boys

Rules of driving an American Union Pacific steam or diesel 1: Keep calm 2: Keep the regulator on 100% 3: Don't unhook the train 4: (Optional) Keep the throttle up 5: Repeat if everything isn't working. Btw, good video.

When climbing grades with a steam locomotive, maximise steam pressure through increasing draft, begin the climb with a high speed, and keep the cutoff minimized to save steam.

I saw this locomotive doubleheading with 4014 during 4014's first major trip to Ogden.

The 844 is called and FEF 3 northern class. Also the 844 is the only locomotive never to have been retried by a class 1 railroad. The 844 was also the last steam locomotive to be delivered to the union pacific.

OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! YASSSSSS!!! 🤗 also it is called "UP 844" its sister is the Challenger. When you go up hills, less you use the throttle, the better. Downhills, put the regulator in reverse and slowly apply steam, it slows the train fast.

I can give you some facts on the 844 1, the 844 is the only steam engine in America that was never pulled from service, 2: the reason the 844 has no coal in the tender is cause UP turned it in to a oil burner, that's why there is no coal, and the reason we are using oil a lot more then coal is cause of 2 reasons, 1: we got a lot of oil down here, 2: coal got to expensive, and that is your history lesson on the 844

we use recycled engine oil for the 844, 3985 & maybe 4014, congrats to Smokebox

You shouldn’t open the regulator fully when starting off

*Sees video* OH MY- YES! Edit: UP 844 is an oil burning locomotive, by the way.

It's an oil burning steam engine, just like the Daylight

The UP 844 was originally to be ran on coal but they change it to NO . 5 fuel oil

I just can't resist this...... Reach for the speed; reach for the whistle Go where the rail may run Reach for the words; reach for the story Follw the Rainbow Sun To a Shining Time Station Where dreams can come true Waiting there for you So much to see; so far to travel So much to learn to know Friends by your side; hopes to hold onto Who knows how far you'll go To a Shining Time Station Where dreams can come true Your own imagination Waiting there for you

That ending is just ridiculously silly! LOL

Oooo Union Pacific 844😍😍 nice train and video well done 👍👍

you do realise the 844 was built for speed?????? that was the whole point in making them, the model was made for cars/flats to be pulled at 100mph or above consistantly.

Just a Fun Fact back when the UP 844 was first built it could almost rival mallard where the UP 844 could safely handle 120 mph and still can handle that speed today.

My dad works on the up and I went and saw the 844

You should test drive 611

The 844 runs on recycled diesel oil. Also we Americans are NOT obsessed with burning fuels. It was too expensive to have the 844 run on coal so they had to switch to the alternative cheaper option.

Ah,the good old dome car.Perfect for spectating a horrible crash.

Lazer:how many hills are in America?! Well let me tell u there is millions of them

I love your intro so cool and calm

2:03 that whistle sounds exactly like its actual whistle! (hte bell is a bit fast) 3:59 the number plate logo is on the cab floor of the real engine! 4:57 no yellow wearning bar pops up though! 5:33 the FEF3 (which is what 844 is), the challenger, and bog boy all use the same tender design! I've seen 844 seven different times and person, and this is a GREAT rendition!

hey lazerjet? you should try the australian trains it would be a new challenge and also the trains here in australia are insane the trains here that go on the mainline between perth and sydney the trains can exceed speeds of 100 kph! btw i like the video keep it up!

Well it's about time you got to this engine

You're on Donner's Pass of course the hills are going to continue Donner's Pass is one of the most brutal pass in train simulator.

0:24 You can call 844(4) by its nickname too which is “The Living Legend” or just “Legend”

The 844 is amazing and it still runs

I like the whistle a lot

Not every steam locomotive runs one coal they can also run on wood. And. Recycled motor oil. Because many places out in California started converting them over to oil burners. After some coal fuleing stations were torn down before ww2. With the great depression people were struggling to make ends meet. But the true fact about oil burners go in for inspection quicker than coal or wood burners. Thats why many are on display als the fireboxes in oil burners over time develop cracks in the firebox.

Hey LaZeR JET thanks for reviewing the up 844. The steam engine was made to go about 110 mph. And can you please do a race with the 844 and the daylight... awesome video by the way. I've seen this train in real life (hints my account picture)

THE UNION PACIFIC FEF!!!! And yes, it is nearly the same tender as the big boy

I find it funny he looks down on American steam locos and doesn't know anything about them lol

The 844 still does do specailty runs every now and then

Another good vid!

844 was built primarily for long heavy hauls. It was also made to haul large trains at like 40-60 miles an hour.

Ok, I just have to point this out, but the proper horn/whistle code in the US dictates that you blow the whistle twice when you move forward, and three times when your reversing. The horn code for a crossing is 2 long blasts, a short blast and one long blast of the horn/whistle. Sorry, but since you whistled once just before you started to move I felt the need to point that out if you wanted to have that extra bit of realism in the future. Also, this class of locomotive was designed to have a combination of strength and speed. You kept saying it wasn't designed for speed but it was, just not to exceed 90 mph I believe with the type of consist that it has in this video, and on the plains. Union Pacific also runs it steam engines on Oil nowadays because it's far cheaper cheaper and cleaner than coal firing an engine. It just makes sense to convert large steam locomotives to oil because it's more economical to maintain. In future, quit slinging shit at american locomotives for not being fast. You put this engine on a line that has very steep inclines, so of course it's not going to hit high speeds.

Most American Steam Trains that get restored and are gonna do excursions on mainlines and in other states gets converted to run on Oil! This is because coal burning trains are only allowed to run in certain states (i think) And It's more eviromental and it also saves alot of Coal!

You are correct the Union Pacific 844 runs on recycled to diesel oil instead of coal

Some American steam engines were converted to oil to increase route availability and because coal is expensive to burn we Americans wanted to make steam locomotives more environmentally friendly

Hi Oliver, I was wondering if you could review some Canadian trains. I don't think you've made a couple videos on Canadian trains. I would like to see you make a series on Canadian trains.

UP 844 is a Oil-burning Locomotive!

LaZeR JET , Will you ever review a USATC S160 loco pack ?

Mom, I want car sounds! We already have that at home. Car sound at home: 3:28

I don't know why but I just grinned a bit when he said 844 isn't built for speed. The record top speed of FEF is just 6mph behind Mallard

hey laZeR JET the up 844 doesn't have a nickname if you were wondering. the 844 is oil powered. the 844 is made for speed

The UP 844 is A Oil-Burning Locomotive!

I love your videos keep making videos

The Union Pacific 844 runs on oil and it’s not because we are obsessed with burning oil but because coal puts out a lot more carbon.

Ok I am an American that runs steam locomotive. So I am going to help you out a little. You can't just pull out on your throttle all the way at the beginning. You have to work your way up. Use you cylinder cocks also to start. They are the steam coming out of the cylinders. It helps it cycle. He "reverser" you call it is called the "Johnson bar" over here start all the way forward and the notch it back slowly on flat ground. For grades make more fire if you can to keep up your steam. Also whistles over here are as follows 1short-stop 2short-forward 3short-reverse 1long- coming into station. And long long short long for crossings. Any other questions let me know.

amazing video love it remember #LAZERJET FOR LIFE

Yay another lazerjet video and a steam loco USA 🇺🇸

I love how there are steam locomotives in modern times in this game.

Im glad you gave the americans a chance i give you british engines a chance too but i like anerican trains more

Yo dope vid

FINALLY U GOT THE 844

LaserJet Union Pacific 844 was meant for speed that's why it was made so it can carry passengers fast across the united states.

THANK YOU GOD OF TRAIN SIMULATOR

The thing about American Locomotives and hills is that they were designed for it. If you wanted to get up the hill without losing too much speed you could have put the reverser to the max and it would have done at least 20-25 up the hill.

HEY LaZeR JET I HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED YOU TO YOUR CHANNEL AND THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!!!!!!

I love this video btw

You should do UP 844 and the Daylight as a race or a doubleheader!

844 was converted to an oil Burning Loco when coal prices got high and 844 was the only locomotive to run with out Retirement + do a triple race with NW 611 vs UP 844 vs Sp 4449 Daylight

Lazerjet can you please do more videos on the union pacific 844

Lazer jet this is a class "FEF-3" 4-8-4 "Northern". And its name is "Living Legend".

Up 844 is the only steam train to never be retired

It is an oil burner, and some railroads had there steam engines burn oil to allow allow them to go farther distances without having to stop an refuel

LaZeR JET. You slowed pretty bad on that hill because you didn't watch and maintain your boiler pressure. That engine was built to go up grades and built for speed, those coaches it was pulling could've easily been pulled up that hill with ease

the name of that train is the living legend

Yes you finally got it and do you now there's a different livery? Ho and 11th

This is my forth favorite Union Pacific steamer it looks BEAUTIFUL for a American engine.

We use recycled diesel oil. Roughly 25,000$ per fill up.

Well,the steam engines in the 50's DID run on coal,but as time went on,coal became more expensive,so the Americans had to resort to fuel,because if they kept on using coal, the great American railroads would have went bankrupt,including Union Pacific,even if they were a thousand-dollar company.

Lazer jet:american trains arent to fast Me:*going 109 MPH in 844* yeah totaly

I love 844 🤤😀

I love all US logcos but 844 is my favorite

The 844 was built for speed. It can reach at least 75 mph. The 844 doesn't have a name except for 844

The right way to say our numbers for exam it's 8 44 or if it's 4 numbers for example 40 14 for the big boy (not being rude or mean just informing)

5:10 the reason thts like tht is to release the pressure from the pistons so the locomotive can get some speed n so tht there's less drag

7:30 LAZER JET HAVE A WAY TO TURN ON THIS LIGHT, AND TURN IT OF, INSIDE OF THE CAB, WHERE YOU CAN TURN ON THE LIGHTS OF THE CAB, THE LAST ONE IS THIS LIGHTS, PLEASE SEE THIS, IS REALLY IMPORTANT

everybody doing a brand new dance now. the locomotion

cool video

Hi LaZeR, I just got TS 2017 and I was wondering what kind of computer you have.

The 844 steam engine is also called the living legend

The Union Pacific 844 kind of reminds me of Japanese D51
