i rode on this one, most people have no clue about the power and speed of a steam locomotive. most people view them as old, antiquated, slow.and weak boy are they wrong.

This little clip encapsulates EVERYTHING I love about steam locomotives. The noise, the speed, the style, it's everything.

70 mp/h with a water tender and 18 passenger cars? I guess this proves that Berkshires are probably one of the most underrated steam locomotives.

Doppler effect on 765 is just amazing.

After riding this train, my life changed. This will be something that I will never forget. :`)

70mph, no diesel helper and 18 passnger cars and a water tender
This is why 765 is badass

[TrainWizardProductions]

That is what is known as Superpower steam at its finest.

[ItsTrain]

ah I wish I got to see this beauty at 70 mph xD

[litlanternproductions]

Wow that's fast! Most steam engines surviving today don't seem to go half that speed! Great video!

[CarterUP]

Was on that trip and it was totally worth it.

I REALLY hope they do this again soon!!! And when they do, I ain't plannin' missin' out!!! Phenomenal work as always, Drayton! Your videos inspire me to work on my camera movement and angles! Hopefully I'll run into you trackside sooner than later wherever the foam flows! lol

She is an absolute work of art! Steam engines may no longer be mainline haulers, but they are an absolute work of art, and the blowing of a steam whistle is pure music

[flyingtrainproductions]

Loved this short! It really shows you the capability of steam power!

[Seanmmvi]

oohhh mannn, talk about stretching the legs!

[billwoelfel]

I was on that trip w/my grandson, spenet 99% of time in vestibule. Trip back from Fox Lake to Glenview was GREAT!! Worth the price just for that one Hour!!!

[JennaCidalz]

I am WAY too young to have ever seen a steam engine but this is awesome !

[msj]

Like I commented on another video, I love the fact that's all 765's power. No diesels whatsoever.

[MattChaffe]

Wow that was crazy fast! They sure did a good job keeping it in good condition to run at that speed!

[sleeves_rail_archives]

Woah she literally just flew by. I also noticed they put on the old number plate with the white/silver trimming on the edges.
