Think about the steam locomotives with a million + miles then think about how many strokes the pistons made in those million + miles. 😧

Incredible footage. The recurring theme of focusing on the head number boards and bell during runbys is a very cinematic touch. It makes the footage feel more relatable for some reason, just that extra touch of character that makes this feel like a real moment of regular industrial work instead of a misty-eyed vignette of the rose colored past.

It pretty much just comes down to the fact that the biggest and smallest locos were always the ones to stay active the longest. The mid size classes were largely retired before the whole "end of steam" and donation craze started.

You go, FARMERS! You're 2% of our population that feed 320 million of us Americans and millions of other people around the world. That's a genuine miracle!

I wonder what the railroads are paying for diesel these days? I have diesel trucks and here in Ontario I am paying $1.60/litre on average. The experimental segment seems to me to be a bit redundant...I'm sure every railroad had all that detailed information on every class of locomotive they were running back in the day. Just pull out the file and look it up without needing to reinvent the wheel. The argument about how to coal and water the locomotives is bogus as every railroad had all that in place up until the end of steam, it is not very complicated to figure out. I think the biggest hurdle facing steam is not coal, but steam itself. Boiler maintenance, downtime, endless inspections. At least if a diesel dies you just call for a tow and carry on. When a steamer dies it can be a big bang. In otherwords it demands a railroad be totally committed to safety, regular maintenance, and be prepared to invest in the professional workforce to carry out the work. This is why you will never see steam replace diesel. If you could find another way to burn coal and generate power without steam I'm sure railroad people would be interested in having a look. For my money if I were running a railroad I would be looking at electrifying the locomotives and generating the electricity in-house using coal fed into stationary boilers in the conventional powerplant. You control the power supply and the cost using an economical fuel, and you have the ease of operations and efficiencies of electric locomotives. No issues about coaling and water, no smoke inspectors, no trackside fires, but the trains run on coal and steam. No diesel in sight.

Nothing like Bill Howes Jr custom stainless steel flat top Nathan chime from Bob Swanson. Great whistle I heard he sold it to a crewman at Dollywood and can be heard there if they put it on. I know C&O F19 pacific 490 has shown up there that’s another beautiful whistle. Ross is or will be 84 he was born in 1940 this year 2024. Been awhile since I’ve spoken to him great guy and lots of fun to talk steam with.

Union Pacific had an impressive variety of steam power during the steam era and these locomotives are shown in this film operating in both freight and passenger service . I am very satisfied that the Union Pacific rr has preserved a fair amount of their historic steam locomotives for display viewing as a tribute to the steam era from many decades ago.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better see 👀 the trains 🚂 traveling thru the towns & country sides.. Remember the " Singing Break Men " jimmie Rogers whom was a genuine break men. Till changing careers to a singing entertainer 🎸🎶. ( 1926 thru 1933 ) most memorable song " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". Had the good fortune to visit the Casey Jones museum ( I-40 ) Jackson Tenn. Viewing this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the "Space Coast "🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊. No steam locomotives here 😭-!!!. More good fortunes 2 steam locomotives 🚂 scenic tour rides. Bryson City N.C./Durango/Silverton Colorado. Very relaxing way to spend nostalgic time -!!!😉.

The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad had an impressive variety of steam power during the steam era and this film displays the various classes of C&O steam power. It's a true shame however that none of the t1 class 2-10-4 types and the L2 class Hudson engines were preserved for display for the future.

So surely someone has counted how many times this film showed 3985, 4014, and 844? Awesome footage. Such a shame steam reached it pinnacle right before it's shortened life. Perhaps with another decade of steam being the only motive power, new materials and technology would of helped to keep it around but we know now why all that changed.
@lucasquintanilla1673Ай бұрын
I know that 4014 can be briefly seen once or twice but where is 844? To my recollection actual footage of 844 prior to 1960 is extremely rare and I only know of two pieces of footage of 844 Prior to the year 1960 and both of those pieces of film were on a DVD production of 844‘s early years in excursion service.

Mountains, more mountains valleys rivers, bridges, tunnels, snow steam and steam locomotives belching pillars of smoke.passenger trains depot’s , people coal and freight trains coal trains, all with rural and small towns and cities painted in back drops and airbrush painted skylines . Snow, signal lights semifores, bells, old cars church steeples and sidings trees, pines rocks boulders and cliffs and high sturdy bridges and some cantilevered and a few made of stone with arches and tracks running underneath them . Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia , Kentucky Ohio New York and Also All of New England and all of the old buildings , homes and the styles of the this period in the Gilded era of railroad travels and lifestyles and dining by rail .

The total inspiration to build the most awesome train layout with the company of Blue ridge Virginians and Chesapeake and Ohio 2666s along with Yellowstone DMI&R and few Pocahontas and Cavaliers accompanied with the Virginia Creeper. That would be a theme and layout one could only imagine in dreams , justifying only in sheer size only.
