High nose GP30's were odd looking units...

6014 later became Seminole Gulf Railroad in Ft Myers Fl. #575. Later sold to Railserv in 2012 to become RSSX GenSet 575.

This is why we chase train's for!

Some fantastic shots that I never seen, Thank you.

Great video! Come see lucastrainverse!

That wasnt rare. WP GP40/40-2's were everywhere on ex MoP branchlines in Ks.

USSR FD class is what the Chinese used as a base in designing these locomotives. I find it impressive that China still runs steam in their coal mines, makes logical sense though cause coal is the fuel used to fire the steam locomotives working those areas. If Im not mistaken the locomotive featured here was built in 1982?

Thanks ❤😊

Beautiful RS3L

2:48 my favorite horn

RIP Charles Kuralt.I loved❤ watching this show as a child.😂😊.Thanks for this video.There was another on the road episode where they has a Shay steam locomotive hauling freight.Can you please upload that.I bees searching for that episode for years now.😂😊.Thanks.

These things are so tall and bulky, seeing that at speed sure is something.

its great that they restoring 3985 at the Railroading heritage of midwest america

That screaming tone in the audio should NOT BE THERE!

Who’s here in 2024

1:08 Big Boy 4017 is now preserved at the National Railway Museum in Green Bay Wisconsin.

Fun fact: In 1964 5632 was painted gold (water based paint) commemorating the 100th anniversary of CB&Q's suburban service. It pulled 22 coaches with an estimated 3,500 people which was a record. It was painted gold a second time to commemorate the Later that year it was painted gold again to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kansas City Union Station. CB&Q 4960 was also once painted gold in 1953 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of service to Casper, Wyoming. Trains magazine nicknamed it the "Tenshodo Mikado" due to its similarity to a brass model locomotive such as those made by Tenshodo Models.

Fun fact. In 1965 severe flooding at Svannah, IL prevent diesels from operating. CB&Q 4960 was fired up and pulled trains through the flooded area where diesels, due to their low-slung traction motors, could not operate.

What does dadburned mean?

Great video/ with a catchy title, loved it 👌

Most of the Southern Railway Locomotives are high hoods.

Great job! 1522 was such a beautiful locomotive, stack sound was awesome, unlike any other! Whistle was beautiful, like authority plus!

Great whistles!

1278 has a great sounding whistle! It's a shame we won't ever see it operate again thanks to poor maintenance and not a decent water treatment program, but thanks to the design of the boiler and crown sheet, the crew's lives were spared. If the whole boiler exploded, not only the crew would of been killed plus some passengers would been injured or killed from flying shrapnel from the explosion. At least 1278 still exists but it will be a forever static display unless some rail preservation society would raise multiple of millions almost to a billion to get a whole new boiler fabricated for 1278 to run and refurbish the other equipment that was in such bad shape prior to the explosion. Hey if the people in Silvis IL can get challenger 3985 running again, than hopefully someone can get Gettysburg 1278 to run again especially to hear her whistle again.

1:01 isn’t that Sloan Cornell?? Looks familiar

Wonderful video and thanks for sharing. Dave

More CB&Q & C&S. & Zephyr stuff. I grew up in Galesburg back in the 70's &:80's. . Try to model that time in HO.

I love hearing these engines picking them up and laying them down!!!!!

Um that was a is really identical to 844's 3 chime whistle

When steam ruled eh

My home town . Class of 63

Original K5H Sounds Awesome!

Too bad the aperture is always set to suit the brightness of the sky and not the darkness of the subject

The best of albert hammond together with "free electric band" .

I model the mopac railroad on my layout I have nine mopac locomotives and freight cars plus caboose as long you all model mopac the railroad will never die

Where is she now? What's her status?

Railroad was never better than at that period of time. The sights, the sounds.....the smells.

CB&Q 5633 is in my hometown. Although I haven't been able to find any footage of her yet, it's nice to see 5632 chugging down the tracks and think that's how 5633 would've looked like back in the day. Thank you for sharing.

In order: SLSF 1522 N&W 611 Mo PAC SD40-2 Looks like an ICG to me 1522 again Conrail GP35 Union Pacific 3985 Amtrak F40PH ICG SD40-2 Milwaukee Road 261 Southern GP40 BN C30-7 Soo Line 1003 1522 a third time BN C30-7 again Milwaukee Road 261 again Conrail GP15-1 Union Pacific 3985 again without commentary Chessie System / seaboard system train Nickel Plate Road 765

I believe it lasted longer on the narrow gauge lines

Wish they didn't treat CP 1278 badly and kept it in good condition instead

I have 2 hard plastic Illinois central railroad spikes 1940

Ear shattering stack talk over inclines, just like the good lord intended.

Although it's the real sound but is still not near to the pure original, maybe the recorded of those era is not that sensitive. The real original sound is sharp and clear individually. But that's it. Thank you very much for your video.

Nice use of Nezzera second half. Brings back old memories!

thank you

Much of this footage was shot by Fred Macleod using his 16mm Auricon movie camera which also recorded sound. It was a very expensive camera and out of financial reach of the average fan.

awesome video love this footage of this steam locomotives

did not know ic went in evansville indiana
