The age of steam may be long gone, but in St. Louis there is a link to that bygone era. Frisco 1522 may be a static display now, but until recently was a fully operational steam locomotive. 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.
Features: *Running on her old Frisco rails in Missouri, *Pulling the Employee Appreciation Special in Oklahoma and Texas, *Pulling the NRHS convention special from St. Louis to West Quincy and return, *Plenty of scenes where the locomotive is really working.

This program documents some of the trips pulled by 1522 in the year 2001, such as the BNSF Employee Special and an excursion for the NRHS Convention.

Nice to see this big machine running the rails at speed and actually working hard at times. Very interesting video, especially for those who love excursion steam

This compilation of different Frisco 1522 trips put together by Les Jarrett and his company Railway Productions is quite the “variety hour”… Highly recommend this if you are a big fan of the 1522.. You get the best of both worlds… some great action of her traversing home rails as well as rails she was never familiar with in regular service.

This 2002 DVD showcases 1522 at the 2001 NRHS Convention in St. Louis as well as hauling the 2001 BNSF Employee Appreciation Special which is about the same time Pentrex was there for their Frisco 1522: Galloping Through Texas video. Today the locomotive is still on display at Kirkwood, but at least Decapod 1630 is marked/official as the only Frisco steam engine to ever operate, as well as CN 6060 as not only the largest operating steam engine in Canada, but also the only operational 4-8-2 in the present day. Again, I would Definitely recommend that you pick this up, or watch for 100% Free on Amazon Prime Video along with Most Of Les’ Videos.
