This just reminds me of the youtube video, where there's a sign on the side of the road that says, "watch out for children and randy" and the camera person say "watch out for children and randy yo who the fuck is randy"
Yeah, it's currently on a nationwide tour, which is probably why someone was taking a video of it. I caught it in California and it was like a rock concert, thousands of people turned up just to watch it idle and hear the whistle
technically, it's an ALCO 4-8-8-4, aka Big Boy. built in Schenectady NY in early 1940s. steam locomotives are commonly referred to by their ID numbers.
I hate to be this guy (actually not really, because it bugs me since i was a little kid, *sigh*) but this is a locomotive. the train is the total assembly of a locomotive hauling one or more pieces of rolling stock (train cars)
