ATSF 3751 Steam Engine Thunders to Los Angeles Trainfest 2025! 9/19/2025

Today I caught ATSF 3751 getting ready for it's showing at Trainfest in Los Angeles 2025. It was the first piece of equipment out of many things sthat needed to be moved to the station. It was prepped in North 8th Street Yard, where once it was ready to go, BNSF 5869 went with it, as 3751 does not having working PTC, which is required to run along the Metrolink River Subdivision, and BNSF agreed to send a locomotive for display at the festival. The BNSF motor was not pulling, and actually was in dynamic brake mode, providing resistance to the steam engine pulling the train, allowing for it to simulate a heavy load on the steam engine as it thundered up the River Subdivision. Thanks for watching!
