Oh what a steam locomotive will do to get on TV....

D&RGW 340 at Knott's Berry Farm can be seen around 1:20 and again at 1:50.

I can't think of anything worse then being danced on.....other then maybe the Hollywood Paint on D&RGW 483 (Red, Black, and Gold) or the makeover on RGS 20 as the Emma Sweeney

Well, she was shown on MTV. That is a plus I guess

You can also see the small 0-4-0 saddle tank engine at the beginning

The poor loco at the beginning. It gets my sympathy.

 

[motorbreath]

Yuck. I couldn't watch it long enough to see a train.

 

[PereMarquette1225fan]

I watched it, and that locomotive just got dealt a bad deal.

 

[Ben1337]

You know, I think right at the beginning, there's a saddle tank as well, I think it's an 0-4-0.

 

[UP5521]

What in the world,that was weird to see the 346 and that 0-4-0 tank engine being used like that!

I've been open to watching modern music lately, but this gave me reason to stop bothering. It's not like the tween idiots on MTV will spot the train, anyway. Heck, I had to look closely to spot 340 and the tank engine behind the goth wannabe dancing nimrods doing a spastic seizure maneuver on the engines. Just downright awful.

Or to sum it up after clicking the link and listening for ten seconds:

Iv noticed stuff like this happening more and more. Not the (Just Horrible!) music video stuff, but normal people picture taking with a railroad or engine in the background. Its kind of cool, at least the railroads are getting more attention.

Untill something like this happens. Bad thing to whatch when you are eating lunch:n:

 

[cascaderailroad]

I've seen better Lady Gaga carpy videos...I think I just threw up a little I hope the placed plywood on the cab roof, so as, the so called dancers, didn't dent it in.

 

[simulatortrain]

I think I'll go back to the Tesla I had been listening to.

 

[EMD_E8]

That video is bad enough to make me want to run screeming to toilet to "lose my lunch". *Yuck*

People Who Insult Locomotives

What's the point?! The steam locomotive is a natural beauty, but that video makes me want to vomit. It's like a train hitting a car. To those who made the video, why, just why?! For goodness sakes, leave the steam or any locomotive alone and let them be in peace.

 

[pommie]

Let me see if I got this right, someone pays to dance on/around a loco, thereby contributing towards its ongoing existence, and you are saying its a bad thing
I must be mellowing in my old age as I did not find the music repulsive, just repetitive but songs allways have been like that (remember "she loves you, yeah yeah yeah" etc), not to my liking, but not throw up material either.

Cheers David

Well,there is a difference between a steam engine making a cameo appearance in a music video but as for being used for something else other than railroad use and I would say that video was completely disturbing to watch!

No joking.

 

[UP5521]

was it even worth doing that to these iron horses?

all I can say is, I do not know on why in the heck they would use a c-class 2-8-0 consolidation and a 0-4-0 saddle tank switcher like that,these engines are railroad equipment,if someone got hurt doing something like dancing around and/or on the locomotives,that is their problem and who knows how hot the steam is especially coming from the locomotives,that is the kind of thing that both annoys and bothers me!:n:

it was,you can tell by the large tank that covers the boiler to the smokebox end!

That's what I'm talkin' about! You see what I mean.

OH COME ON GUYS!

I don't see anything wrong going on in there. :hehe:

One day, When I do nick the steam engine, I'm gonna do a lot of music videos with Nick and friends grooving and swinging to it. They will be played after a episode or so. Besides, you will see what a steam locomotive will do to get on tv. My series will get on to tv soon.
