Great video! Thanks for sharing. I just read the article in Hemmings Classic Car and was hoping to find video of it in action. Brilliant.

Howard I love this video! I watched it on a big screen for the full effect. Thanks for taking me for the ride. What a blast. With that streeing wheel shake I would not want to go much faster. Very impressed at the speed it did cruise around the track.

what a gorgeous piece of history the Black Beast is. thank you for sharing this with us. American history in the flesh as it should be, and to think, a locomotive company built this wonderful machine.

so the mechanician doesn't really do anything now? Didn't they use to have to pump?
