 America's Steam Trains-On the Road With Frisco 1522

The age of steam may be long gone, but in St. Louis there is a link to that bygone era. Frisco 1522 until recently was a fully operational steam locomotive that ran on occasion.

In this program, you’ll see 1522, (which is a 1926-built 4-8-2 "Mountain-Type" engine) leading the "Employee Appreciation Special" for the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway, and then pulling a trip at the National Railway Historical Society convention in St. Louis.

While on the Employee Appreciation Special 1522 puts on a great show as she pulls the train from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, then on to Ft. Worth. This is no amusement park train just chuffing along, 1522 really gets up and goes!
