Santa Fe 3751 West down the Peavine and Arizona California 8/25/2002. It was a great train ride down the Peavine Line and once we got onto the Arizona California they announced we would do a runby at Via. We detrained right in the middle of town with the locals all wondering what the heck was going on.

• Santa Fe 3751 September 11 at 10:00 AM Although 19 years have passed.our commitment to remember those who served, those we lost and those who carry on their legacy is stronger than ever. We Will Never Forget.
• The train was officially BNSF OLACSAE13 RailFair'99 Special. #3751 was the ATSF's first ever 4-8-4 Northern (thus, the 3751 Class engine on Santa Fe), having been delivered by Baldwin Locomotive Works in May 1927.

1) Amtrak passenger equipment is now all-electric, and runs off 'Head
End Power' (HEP) rom the locomotive. This runs the lighting, air
conditioning, etc. It's pretty heavy 'AC' service, and the steam loco's
tiny generator is entirely inadequate ('DC', and the wrong voltage) for
such service.

Steam loco generators (steam turbo-gens) are normally just for the
locomotive's own lights (headlights, class lights, cab lights, etc.).

'Back then', passenger cars were heated, and sometimes cooled, with
steam provided by the locomotive. This made sense when the locomotive
could provide plentiful steam. When Dieels came into service, all the
trains still needed steam. Early Diesel and electric passenger locos
carried oil-fired steam generators (boilers, or more usually flash steam
generators) to serve their train. In very cold weather, or when using a
loco without steam capabaility, a 'steam generator car' was often added
to the train to provide additonal steam capacity. This continued into
the early days of Amtrak, until 'HEP' was adopted as standard. It took a
few years to transition to the new power requirements.

Early car electric lighting, if used (often 32 volt DC), came from a
bank of batteries under each car, recharged by mechanicaly-driven
generators coupled to the car's wheels by shaft or belt. Same for most
cabooses. Today for passenger cars, it's all 'HEP', all 'AC', and
cabooses are all but gone anyway. Th eonly exceptions are antiue cars
sometimes operated in 'museum trains'. Even older passenger cars still
in service, like private cars, are now converted to 'HEP'.

2) The railroad being used (usually NOT Amtrak, who own very little
trackage), requires 'protection power' (a second locomotive) in case
there's some breakdown on the road. Nowadays this is almost always the
case whenever any steam loco moves over any railroad. Tourist lines
avoid it if they own their own track and can make the rules, and
occasionally a railroad will allow a lone steamer to operate ... but
that's quite rare.
