Steam engines running very fast

very cool to see steamers running that fast. And to hear about them doing it. I’ve seen #1522, rode with #765, #611 and #844 but all had to do lower speed limits.

Probably because of what happened to #611 mentioned in another post with an derailment and injuries. Thx to all for sharing.

Here is a video of UP 844 on an excursion in 2010, really pickin’ ‘em up and layin’ 'em down. Ostensibly 75 mph.

Beautiful!

I appreciated the closeups of the working of the valve gear.

Thank you

Nice Gyro-stablized camera, too! Excellent… even if the car was exceeding the speedlimit on the parallel highway! [:-^]
