Рет қаралды 15,631
Ай бұрын165’s restoration has FINALLY been completed at the WPRM! Just days before big boy #4014 came rolling into Portola, steam crews put the finishing touches on WP #165
-
165 has been under restoration for nearly 2 decades at this point and saw operation in mid - late 2022, these operations were hauled to complete the restoration and address leaks / problems with the engine
-
Today, July 10th 2024, is the first day WP 165 has pulled trains in her fully restored appearance, long live the WP!

Lemme know what you guys think of the footage, may or may not have forgotten my tripod so this is all just holding my camera without a strap or a tripod to help, comment below!

Michael, thank you for posting the video of 165. When it was at the Alameda County fairgrounds, I did some painting on it. I had nothing to do with the infamous blue paint that was applied after my time there. Over the years, I also made some small donations to the project. Great to see the results of the restoration.

While it's great to see the engine up and running, I've NEVER seen a group of cabooses like that!! It warms my heart to see that SOME PEOPLE haven't trashed all cabooses.❤❤❤😊😊😊

I miss the caboose, I really miss the guys in the Caboose! Of course I was a little kid the last time I saw a caboose go by. At 4:00 we would run to the end of the block to watch the train go by. The guys in the Caboose would always toot the air whistle for us! That's a big deal at 6 years old!

@davidng2336 Ай бұрын
They did a great job!n How many WP steam locomotives still exist besides this one?
@MWTrains Ай бұрын
Actually a decent amount, 26, 94, 164, 165, and 334 are all still around, 165 is the only one of them to be under steam in the 21st century however
@davidney2412 Ай бұрын
TRULY I TRULY REALLY TRULY WISH IT WAS STEAM LOCOMOTIVE #169 OR AT LEAST STEAM LOCOMOTIVE #167 .
