Although steam locomotives come in all shapes and sizes, it's what railroaders call big steam that still captures the public's fancy. (train horn blaring) 1:04 (train rumbling) (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 2:02 In this program, we'll look at several steam giants that still run. Nickel Plate 765, Southern Pacific 4449, Santa Fe 3751, Grand Canyon 4960, and Iowa Interstate 7081 and 6988. (train rumbling) It's July of 2009 and we're in Owosso, Michigan for an event known as Train Festival 2009. In attendance are a number of steam locomotives of all sizes, including Flagg Coal number 75, the 1 and 110 of the Little River Railroad, and the Leviathan, a faithful reproduction of an 1860 era engine of the Central Pacific. In addition to the smaller engines, three large steam locomotives were there too. 3:04 Visiting from Portland, Oregon is the famous Daylight locomotive, number 4449. Traveling from Fort Wayne, Indiana is the Nickel Plate number 765, and based right here in Owosso is Pier Marquette number 1225. The 1225 had some mechanical problems and did not pull any trains, but the other two pulled daily excursions between Owosso and Alma, Michigan over what was once part of the Ann Arbor Railroad, a round trip of 70 miles. (train horn blaring) It's July 24th, 2009 and 4449 is loading its passengers preparing to depart for Alma. 4:08 4449 was built in Ohio at the Lima Locomotive Works in 1941 for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The SP's most famous train was the Coast Daylight, which ran from Los Angeles to San Francisco in the daylight hours. The train sported this colorful paint scheme that was designed to compliment the beaches and mountains that it passed along its route. The 484 locomotives built for this train including the 4449 all sported versions of this Art Deco look, and were called Daylights, a name that has stuck with 4449 to this day. She was retired in 1957 and placed on display in Portland, Oregon in 1958. In 1974 she was selected to pull the American Freedom train, celebrating the nation's bicentennial, 5:01 and has run ever since. Along with her tender, she weighs 433 tons and is capable of speeds around 100 miles an hour. She never runs that fast now but we'll see her run pretty fast later in the program. For now, let's enjoy the sights and sounds of this fine locomotive as she makes a round trip to Alma. (train rumbling) (rumbling continues) 6:06 (bell dinging) (train horn blaring) (rumbling continues) (bell ringing) (train horn blaring) 7:07 (train rumbling) 7:14 (train horn blaring) 7:34 (train rumbling) 7:57 (train horn blaring) 8:03 (rumbling continues) 8:15 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 8:36 (train rumbling) 9:06 (rumbling continues) 9:16 (bell ringing) (bystanders chattering) 9:33 (train horn blaring) 9:49 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 10:10 The daylight is arriving in Alma. While the passengers have lunch, she'll be turned around 10:15 and then we'll pull the train back to Owosso. 10:21 (bell ringing) (train horn blaring) 10:39 (ringing continues) (train rumbling) 11:00 (train horn blaring) 11:17 (rumbling continues) 11:24 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) (rumbling continues) 11:43 One of the highlights of these excursions are the many colorful private cars that are on the train. 11:49 Some came with a 765, some with the Daylight, some were already here 11:54 at the host Steam Railroading Institute and others came from private owners. 12:00 Ranging from coaches to more luxurious accommodations, they are just as historic 12:05 as the locomotives pulling the train. One of the most notable cars is the Cedar Rapids, 12:11 the last car on the train. This classy car was the rear end observation car 12:17 on the Milwaukee Road's Olympian Hiawatha, which ran between Chicago and Seattle. 12:23 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 12:40 (bystanders chattering) (rumbling continues) 13:09 (rumbling continues) 13:20 (train horn blaring) 13:46 (rumbling continues) (bystanders chattering) 13:56 - [Woman] Yay (laughs)! That was cool (laughs). 14:03 Yeah! (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 14:16 (train horn blaring) 14:24 (rumbling continues) (bell ringing) 14:38 (train horn blaring) 14:52 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) (bystanders chattering) 15:14 (train horn blaring) 15:23 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 15:47 - [Narrator] 4449 is arriving back in Owosso. We'll see her again a bit later, 15:53 but for now let's take a look at our next large locomotive, Nickel Plate number 765. 16:02 Nickel Plate Berkshire Steam locomotive number 765 was built in 1944 by Lima and has a 284 wheel arrangement. 16:12 The first such locomotive was built for the Boston and Albany Railroad which used them in the Berkshire Mountains. 16:19 Thus in the United States, most of the steam locomotives of this type were called Berkshire's. 16:25 765 was used primarily on fast freights between Bellevue, Ohio and Chicago 16:31 on the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad commonly called the Nickel Plate. 16:36 In 1963, she was put on display in Fort Wayne, Indiana some eight years after she last ran. 16:45 In 1979 she returned to service restored by a group of dedicated railroad enthusiasts. 16:52 765 pulled excursions until the early 1990s when it was time for a routine overhaul. 16:59 The volunteers instead did a complete rebuild taking 10 years in the process 17:05 but returning her to service in a light new condition. It's May 24th, 2009 and 765 is pulling her first weekend 17:14 of public excursions since she was rebuilt. She's visiting the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum 17:21 in North Judson, Indiana where she will make some break-in runs in preparation for Train Festival 2009 17:28 in just a few weeks. We'll follow the 765 as she makes 17:33 the 12 mile trip to nearby LaCrosse over the tracks of the one time Chesapeake and Ohio. 17:40 (train horn blaring) 17:45 (train rumbling) (steam hissing) 18:16 (train horn blaring) 18:24 (train rumbling) 18:35 (metal creaking) 18:54 (train horn blaring) 19:23 (steam hissing) (train rumbling) 19:32 (bystanders chattering) 19:46 (rumbling continues) 19:57 (engine rumbling) (train horn blaring) 20:11 (rumbling continues) 20:27 (train horn blaring) 20:36 (rumbling continues) 20:52 (steam hissing) (rumbling continues) 21:13 (train horn blaring) 21:22 (rumbling continues) 21:32 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 22:02 (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 22:15 It's Sunday, July 26th, and we're back at Train Festival 2009 22:20 as 765 pulls the last round trip for the festival between Owosso and Alma Michigan. 22:26 (train rumbling) (bystanders chattering) 22:56 (rumbling continues) (chattering continues) 23:03 (bell ringing) (train horn toots) 23:19 (train horn blaring) 23:37 (train rumbling) (plane engine whirring) 23:54 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 24:24 (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 24:51 (plane engine whirring) 25:05 (train horn blaring) 25:26 (train rumbling) 25:37 (bell ringing) (blaring continues) 25:57 (train rumbling) 26:08 (train horn blaring) 26:34 The big Berkshire is arriving in Alma and like the 4449 she'll be turned around and start back to Owosso. 26:44 (train horn blaring) 27:05 One of the highlights of the all day excursions at Train Festival was the stop in Ithaca for the photo run bys. 27:12 Everyone gets off, the train backs up, then roars by for the waiting cameras. 27:18 (train rumbling) (bystanders chattering) 27:50 (train horn blaring) 28:20 (blaring continues) 28:43 (train rumbling) 29:07 (rumbling continues) 29:19 (train horn blaring) 29:26 765 is arriving back in Owosso bringing Train Festival to a close. 29:38 It's October 13th, 2009 and we're just outside of Minneapolis, alongside the BNSF Railway's 29:46 former Northern Pacific Railroad. There's plenty of rail activity to watch, but everyone is waiting for one thing, 29:53 4449 running on the mainline as she returns west to Portland. (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 30:07 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 30:20 (train horn blaring) 30:50 We will follow the Daylight over mostly Great Northern trackage between here and Havre, Montana. 30:56 Beyond Havre she will continue on to her home in Portland, Oregon. 31:02 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 31:25 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 31:37 (train horn blaring) 31:55 (train rumbling) 32:04 (rumbling continues) (train horn blaring) 32:25 (rumbling continues) 32:39 (bell ringing) (rumbling continues) 32:46 (train horn blaring) 33:18 The Daylight is arriving in Dilworth, Minnesota where her tired crew will spend the night. 33:30 Mornings can be a magical time to shoot steam and the morning of October 14th is no exception 33:37 as 4449 puts on a fantastic show leaving Dilworth. 33:42 (steam hissing) 33:55 (train horn blaring) 34:03 After Fargo we'll be following the tracks of the old Great Northern. (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 34:33 (train rumbling) 34:46 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 35:03 (train rumbling) 35:23 (train horn blaring) 35:38 (train rumbling) 36:08 (rumbling continues) 36:33 (train horn blaring) 36:45 (rumbling continues) 36:54 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 37:24 (blaring continues) 37:34 (train rumbling) (train horn blaring) 37:54 (train rumbling) 38:08 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 38:27 (train rumbling) 38:46 The train spent the night in Minot, North Dakota before heading west. 38:55 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 39:24 (rumbling continues) 39:54 (rumbling continues) 40:09 (train horn blaring) 40:29 (train rumbling) 40:49 (bell ringing) (rumbling continues) 41:14 (train horn blaring) 41:28 In Williston, North Dakota 4449 takes the siding so that Amtrak's Empire Builder can make its station stop. 41:37 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 42:34 (geese squawking) 42:39 (train rumbling) 43:09 (rumbling continues) 43:40 (rumbling continues) 44:13 (rumbling continues) 44:37 (bell ringing) 45:06 (train rumbling) 45:23 (train horn blaring) 45:35 (blaring continues) (bell ringing) 45:59 (train rumbling) 46:29 (rumbling continues) 46:47 (train horn blaring) 47:04 (train rumbling) 47:33 (rumbling continues) 48:04 (rumbling continues) 48:09 (train horn blaring) 48:28 (bystanders chattering) 48:38 (blaring continues) 48:54 (train rumbling) 49:08 (bystanders chattering) (train rumbling) 49:19 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 49:33 (train horn blaring) 49:43 (train rumbling) 49:58 (train horn blaring) 50:07 (conductor chattering indistinctly) 50:18 Our train has arrived in Havre, Montana where it's being bedded down for the night. 50:23 We'll leave 4449 here so that we can look at more giants of steam. 50:34 The date is July 26th, 2011, and we're in Davenport, Iowa where a unique freight train is traveling westbound 50:42 on the rails of the Iowa Interstate Railroad. (train horn blaring) 51:16 (blaring continues) 51:45 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 52:06 (train horn blaring) 52:27 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 52:52 The Iowa Interstate runs from Council Bluffs Iowa to Utica, Illinois, and then on to Chicago using trackage rights 52:59 over the former rails of the Rock Island Railroad. 53:05 Although it's a modern regional railroad it operates a couple of steam locomotives that are used for special occasions. 53:12 (train rumbling) 53:27 Iowa Interstate 2102 number 7081 was built in 1986 53:33 by the Datong China Locomotive Works. She hauled the last regularly scheduled mainline 53:39 steam passenger train in the world before coming to the U.S. in 2006. 53:47 Sister 6988 was built by Datong in 1985 and also came to the U.S. in 2006. 53:55 Both of these 2102's worked the last mainline steam railroad in the world, 54:00 the line over JingPeng Pass. These coal burning 59 inch driver 2102's 54:06 have found a new home in America, and can be seen running in Iowa and Illinois on occasion. 54:12 7081 has retained her Chinese appearance while 6988 has been given a more North American look. 54:22 Today they are traveling from Rock Island, Illinois to Newton, Iowa. They had been in Rock Island for a Train Festival 2011 54:31 and are pulling a freight train back to their home base in Newton. 54:38 (train horn blaring) 54:53 (bell ringing) 55:08 (blaring continues) 55:25 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 55:57 (rumbling continues) (ringing continues) (train horn blaring) 56:30 (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 57:00 (rumbling continues) 57:30 (rumbling continues) 58:00 (rumbling continues) 58:30 (rumbling continues) 58:44 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 59:14 (blaring continues) 59:26 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 59:50 (train rumbling) 1:00:12 (train horn blaring) (rumbling continues) 1:00:23 (train horn blaring) 1:00:31 (rumbling continues) 1:00:50 The 2102's have arrived at the Iowa Interstate Complex in Newton. 1:00:56 As the train pulls into the yard we'll bid it goodbye and travel west. (train rumbling) 1:01:30 (rumbling continues) 1:01:37 The date is May 14th, 2012 and we're in Los Angeles, California where another large steam locomotive will soon depart. 1:01:47 Santa Fe 484 number 3751 is running from the beautiful Los Angeles Union passenger terminal 1:01:54 all the way to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The train will depart Downtown Los Angeles, 1:02:01 then travel over the BNSFs former Santa Fe Railway Trackage and on into the Mojave Desert. 1:02:07 At Cadiz it will switch to the Arizona and California Railroad. Then it's on to Parker, Arizona 1:02:13 where our train will spend the night. From there, it will go on to Wickenburg and then switch onto the BNSF's Peavine line to Williams 1:02:22 where we'll spend the second night. On day three, we'll see a double-headed train 1:02:27 on the Grand Canyon Railway to the South Rim. 1:02:33 Union Station in Los Angeles is a busy place with Amtrak inner city trains and Metrolink commuter trains 1:02:41 as well as LA's light rail system all stopping here. (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:03:04 The trains serving Union Station are all thoroughly modern but today a mirage from the past curves 1:03:11 around the Old Mission Tower heading out of Los Angeles. Our charter train is called the Grand Canyon Limited 1:03:19 and features a variety of private cars for many of the famous passenger trains from the old times. 1:03:25 We'll have a chance to see them more closely as this program progresses. (train rumbling) 1:04:00 (rumbling continues) 1:04:30 (rumbling continues) 1:05:00 (rumbling continues) 1:05:28 (bell ringing) (train horn blaring) 1:05:58 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 1:06:28 (rumbling continues) 1:06:56 (train horn blaring) 1:07:11 A large crowd awaited the train in San Bernardino. This mission revival style structure was opened 1:07:18 by the Santa Fe Railway in 1916. It served the Santa Fe and Tenant Union Pacific 1:07:24 until 1971 when the long distance trains were taken over by Amtrak. 1:07:30 Today, 3751 will stop here for water and lubrication. (train rumbling) 1:07:41 (bell ringing) 1:08:04 (rumbling continues) (ringing continues) 1:08:24 While she's being serviced, let's learn a little more about the locomotive. 1:08:30 Santa Fe 3751 was constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia in 1927. 1:08:38 She has a 484 wheel arrangement, the first such installation on the Santa Fe Railway 3751 was quite modern 1:08:47 and at the time reflected the latest thinking in steam locomotive design. She could pull 26 steel passenger cars 1:08:54 on level track and 15 on a 2% grade. Her initial assignments 1:08:59 were pulling cracked Santa Fe passenger trains between La Junta, Colorado and Albuquerque, New Mexico 1:09:06 featuring a demanding railroad climbing over both Raton and Glorieta Passes. She proved to be so successful 1:09:13 that 13 more 484s were ordered and delivered in the next year and a half with many more following and ensuing years. 1:09:20 In 1936, she was converted from a coal burner to oil firing. 1:09:26 Over the years she was rebuilt and modified and currently sports 80 inch driving wheels, 1:09:31 an attractive effort of nearly 72,000 pounds. In 1954, she was the last steam locomotive 1:09:39 to pull a passenger train out of San Diego, an occasion which proved to be her last run of the steam era as well. 1:09:46 Shortly thereafter, she was placed on display in Viaduct Park in San Bernardino where she sat until 1986. 1:09:55 At that time, she was removed from the park and overhauled by a group of volunteers who continue 1:10:00 to run her to this day. Her servicing is complete and she departs San Bernardino 1:10:07 for Points East. (bell ringing) (train rumbling) 1:10:38 (ringing continues) (rumbling continues) 1:10:56 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 1:11:30 (rumbling continues) 1:11:52 (bystanders chattering) 1:12:02 Leaving San Bernardino, the railroad climbs the famous Cajon Pass. We, along with dozens of others, 1:12:09 had set up at the Cajon Crossovers only to have our view blocked by a westbound train. 1:12:14 We're now at the summit of Cajon Pass at around 3,700 feet above sea level. 1:12:20 (plane engine whirring) (train rumbling) 1:12:46 - [Woman] Video (laughs). (bystanders chattering) (rumbling continues) 1:13:03 - [Narrator] At Barstow we see the train pulling into the former Harvey House Hotel opened in 1911 1:13:10 named the Casa del Desierto. 1:13:15 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:13:50 (rumbling continues) 1:14:19 (rumbling continues) 1:14:41 Leaving Barstow, our train makes fast time across the Mojave Desert. 1:14:49 (train rumbling) 1:15:14 (train horn blaring) 1:15:20 (rumbling continues) 1:15:52 (bell ringing) 1:16:17 (shutter clicking) (ringing continues) (train horn blaring) (ringing continues) 1:16:50 (train rumbling) 1:18:44 At Cadiz, 3751 stopped for servicing and to change railroads. 1:18:50 We're leaving the BNSF and entering the Arizona and California. This trackage was once owned by the Santa Fe, 1:18:58 although 3751 likely never ran here. Today the ANC is a freight only railroad, 1:19:06 so this is rare mileage for the passengers. 1:19:16 (train horn blaring) (bell ringing) 1:19:44 (train rumbling) 1:20:04 (rumbling continues) Although on the BNSF, the locomotive and train operated 1:20:13 at speeds in excess of 75 miles an hour, last minute safety concerns on the Arizona 1:20:19 and California limited the train to a mere 15 miles an hour leaving Cadiz, even though through freights ran at 40. 1:20:28 Although the locomotive had been running at track speed on the BNSF, the ANC had not had a recent inspection 1:20:35 for passenger trains since it does not run any. Thus, our train was limited to 15 miles per hour out of Cadiz. 1:20:43 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 1:21:07 (blaring continues) 1:21:30 (train rumbling) 1:22:00 (rumbling continues) 1:22:11 (train horn blaring) 1:22:30 (rumbling continues) (blaring continues) 1:22:44 It is after 11:00 p.m. when our very late train reaches its overnight stop in Parker, Arizona. 1:22:50 (bell ringing) (train horn blaring) 1:23:24 (blaring continues) (train rumbling) 1:23:54 (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 1:24:24 (blaring continues) (rumbling continues) 1:24:35 (object squeaking) 1:24:44 (train horn blaring) - [Man] He did it a long time. 1:25:14 (blaring continues) 1:25:44 (bystanders chattering) 1:25:56 (object creaking) 1:26:03 It is May 15th, and we're at the Arizona and California station in Parker. 1:26:08 It was a short night that the passengers are boarding for today's run to Williams. 1:26:18 - It's a Jack (laughs). Our train will continue on the Arizona and California to Wickenburg 1:26:25 but the speed limit has been raised 25 miles an hour. To the crew's credit, 1:26:31 they tried to work the locomotive despite the low speeds. 1:26:36 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:26:59 (train horn blaring) 1:27:10 (bell ringing) 1:27:23 (train horn blaring) 1:27:31 (train rumbling) 1:28:11 (rumbling continues) 1:28:47 (rumbling continues) 1:29:18 (train rumbling) 1:29:32 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:29:50 (train horn blaring) 1:30:36 (blaring continues) 1:30:47 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:30:53 (rumbling continues) (ringing continues) 1:31:26 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:31:55 (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:32:03 (train horn blaring) 1:32:16 (train rumbling) (bell ringing) 1:32:23 We're just outside of Wickenburg and 3751 and her train have left the Arizona and California 1:32:28 and are now on the BNSF's Phoenix branch. 1:32:34 The former Santa Fe line is commonly called the Peavine due to its twisty curvy nature. 1:32:41 (train rumbling) 1:33:04 (train horn blaring) 1:33:12 (rumbling continues) (blaring continues) 1:33:42 (rumbling continues) 1:33:53 At Congress, our train takes the siding for a passenger stop and for servicing. 1:33:59 This provides a good chance to examine the many private cars found on our special train. 1:34:04 (train rumbling) 1:34:34 (rumbling continues) 1:35:03 (rumbling continues) 1:35:34 (rumbling continues) 1:35:39 (bystanders chattering) 1:35:46 Late trains often get later and our trains spent nearly three hours in Congress leaving just after sunset. 1:35:54 This will be our final run by on day two of our excursion. 1:35:59 (train rumbling) 1:36:29 (rumbling continues) 1:37:00 (rumbling continues) 1:37:23 (train horn blaring) 1:37:30 (rumbling continues) 1:37:50 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) May 16th finds our train backing into the Grand Canyon Railway Station in Williams, Arizona. 1:37:59 (ringing continues) (rumbling continues) 1:38:17 This also was once a Harvey House known as the Fray Marcos. The Grand Canyon railway runs for 63 miles 1:38:25 on a former Santa Fe railway bridge offering daily service to the Grand Canyon. 1:38:33 (train rumbling) (train horn blaring) 1:39:00 (rumbling continues) 1:39:27 Although the daily passenger trains are diesel powered the railroad owns two operable steam locomotives, 1:39:33 280 number 29, which was on display during our visit and 282 number 4960 1:39:42 which will double head with number 3751 today. 4960 was built in 1923 1:39:48 by Baldwin for the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad 1:39:53 which it served until the late 1950s when it was retired. It spent many years at the Circus World Museum in Wisconsin 1:40:01 and it made its first run on the Grand Canyon in 1996. 1:40:06 Our passenger train has departed behind Amtrak number 66 which will pull it to the shop complex 1:40:13 where the two steam locomotives will be added. (train horn blaring) 1:40:24 (train rumbling) (blaring continues) 1:41:01 4960 and 3751 are up front and on their way to the Grand Canyon. 1:41:08 (train horn blaring) 1:41:38 (blaring continues) 1:41:58 (rumbling continues) 1:42:28 The railroad and highway are many miles apart from each other, making it difficult to chase the train. Our next shot is in the Kaibab National Forest just outside the Grand Canyon National Park. (rumbling continues) (train rumbling) (train horn blaring) 1:43:06 (bell ringing) (train rumbling) (train horn blaring) (train rumbling) 1:44:17 (rumbling continues) (rumbling continues) Our train has arrived at the Grand Canyon, one of the most popular places in the world. 1:45:02 The start of mass tourism here can be traced to the Santa Fe Railway, which built the railroad to the canyon in 1901. Passengers arrived at this rustic log depot, then could stay at the elegant El Tovar Hotel right across the street, and just outside the door of the hotel was the Grand Canyon.
