Eric Treacy. I looked him up, an Anglican bishop and a railway photographer. Peculiar combination. That's a nice steam locomotive. A LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-9 locomotive the Wiki says.

They are. And I love the sound of them.

Are videos allowed. This is the Union Pacific BigBoy 4014 coming into Oklahoma. Turn up the volume. No, I was not lying between the rails, but my Nikon P610 was. That’s 1,200,000 pounds of steel.

That's up to a thread starter, basically. But on the site? Absolutely!
That is awesome, Terry. A unique view. And cool to see how the approaching monster is shaking the ground.
Pretty cool. The camera must have taken quite a beating.

Not really, but some of those passenger cars had some low hanging tanks that looked pretty close to the ground! I assume they are water tanks or holding tanks.
I saw. Played back some parts in slow motion. Camera escaped a certain death a few times. Or so it seemed anyway.

GE P42 Amtrak locomotive
my hometown no longer has any way to turn trains (move the locomotive to the other end of the train to pull it back in the direction from which it came) so they run an engine on both ends. one pulls the consist to the east (where i live) the one on the tail, then pulls it back west to Chicago.

Good way to fix the problem, I would say.
Nice how the light hits the train and tracks in the second shot.
And I like the noisy grittiness of the first shot.

Same way on the Heartland Flyer. Two engines, one to pull from OKC to Ft Worth, the other to pull back to OKC. Kodak Brownie Hawkeye

Chesapeake and Ohio's Allegheny.
its an articulated 2-6-6-6
125-ft long, 11-ft 2-in wide, 16-ft 5 ½-in tall and weighs approximately 771,000-lbs. It could pull 160 coal cars, each with a 60-ton load, and if only pulling passenger cars, could run at 60 mph. 1601’s original price was $230,663. built by Lima in Lima Ohio in 1941.
while not as 'big' as the Union Pacific's Big Boy locomotives but more powerful in terms of pulling capacity because of tractive effort (weight on the driving wheels and other math, i dont understand)

Looks like a beast!
