    ATSF had some great looking locos, and 3415 is one of them. Thanks for the video. Wish I lived closer and could see her in person. :tb-biggrin:

    I grew up about 60 miles south of Abilene and now live in SW Florida. I waited a year to see this engine. Very glad that vacation plans put me back home when they planned to run this engine. Can't beat Santa Fe steam!

    25 years ago I used to take my son to climb on this engine when it was in the Eisenhower city park. When I first heard some guys were trying to get it running I was very skeptical about their success. I am very glad to now eat my words as they've done what seemed the impossible for a local group. It was awesome to watch it run down the line in person, even if it was former Rock Island tracks:)
