I hate penn central just because of this video Why did they have to merge with Pennsylvania railroad 😭😭 And why didn’t they save any Hudsons

I gotta ask. As a person from New England who plans on seeing the Illinois Railway Museum next year, is the Monticello Railway Museum also worth visiting?

we will miss u monon

Classic vintage video!

1999 sounds like the polar express

Toot Toot Southern Railway 2-8-4 Berkshire #2716 🚂🚂🚂 😊😊😊

26:15 Another best scene!

25:12 Best scene!

I thought 6039 had a 5 chime

Rahway Valley #15 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1916) running at Steamtown U.S.A back in 1965, before being out of service over in August 12th 1973, and now being displayed at Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania to this day. As one of the 9 out of the 27 steam locomotives that were former excursion star’s. The others were Berlin Mills No. 7, Canadian National 3254, Canadian Pacific 2317, Illinois Central 790, Spang, Chalfant & Co. #8, Canadian National 47, Nickel Plate Road 759, and Reading 2124.

0:46 where did this clip come from?

ITM Needs to contact Rizzoli locomotive works to have her original whistle from the 80s repaired

Who written and sang the Ballad of 611?

I remember when this loco came back. It ran these New Georgia trips and that was it. Shame she never got to do any NS steam program trips later before her boiler ticket expired. 587, and others did.

I loved Iron Horse Videos. I have their Great Trains of America DVD set, Which I grew up on. They may not have been Pentrex, but they are what I grew up on and I Cherish them like gold. Its heartbreaking to hear Mr. Shriver is no longer with us, may he rest in piece 🙏

2:57 I have the Rivarossi model of 759

Nice Santa Fe 3751 Steam Engine With Brand New Dash 8 Rookie Of Year

When the locomotive had a 3 chime whistle, instead of it's iconic 6 chime.

Best part was that the first time I think people heard this song was in Mark I Video's Rails to Roanoke DVD. It was featured at the very end after the end credits when N&W 1218 passes the camera at Bluefield.

"Thinking back there are so many things that now have passed away" that hits harder as an adult.😥

The West Point #290

Double jointed rails around 11:10

Wonderfully edited, great job. R.I.P. Tom

Raw power !!!!

They better play this when 3001 returns to steam!

I ❤ this song so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊

RIP CNJ 1185. Shame you couldn’t be saved by itms idiotic leadership. Same with some of the atsf budd coaches and two Lackawanna high roofs

oh si cargo movin people 🚆🚄🚍🚈🚝🚋🚃

At the 10:50 mark Steve Lee appears to be flipping someone off. I love it

This song really could only have come out in 1980, with it being an evolved version of a '70s sound before the '80s came along with its New Jack Swing and electronica influences. I like it.

Memory unlocked

That sounds like the same bell from 611

Greatest Song!

152: I’ll be back!

Deleted Scenes From Independence Limited 89 NKP 587 & N&W 611 To Roanoke VA,

Such a huge part of my life in the 1970s

That has to be some of the Most smoothest Black and White film I have ever seen

I honestly prefer this over Great Big Rolling Railroad

I have this video on VHS tape somewhere in the house.

3985 was moved along with 5511 and 6936 to silvis for restoration in November 2022. They will run them once they are restored. As of September 2024, 6936 is fully restored with 5511 and 3985 having a full overhaul

Awesome video! I loved it! The only thing I would change is that song accompanying it. I would select "Jump That Train" by Foghat. That would be more appropriate, I think. Give it a listen! I was standing on the 24th Street bridge when the 1361 was going westbound. The vibration of the smoke and power hitting underneath my feet was absolutely insane! Something I'll never forget....

2:24 Hey, can you help me find the video of this? Cuz I wonder if an originalized bell is still here forever

This is the greatest

34:20 You know what would've put this incredible footage well over the top? Having a red car at the very end just like when Big Boy #4014 pushed the stalled manifest more recently in Nebraska. Just kidding but this was truly a spectacular moment as well to be thoroughly captured from many different angles. I wonder what a side by side comparison would look like with proper editing for both clips to be synced with all the footage in existence. Either way both of them not only did a truly amazing job pushing that stalled freight up each respective grade, but this proved EXACTLY WHY steam locomotives shouldn't have been fully retired along with how powerful they can still be when pushing modern day freight cars. I'm not sure how well they'd do on some of America's steepest grades, but they would definitely still have half decent speed doing it solo I'd like to assume depending on how long and heavy the load is. Remember Union Pacific originally restored the #844 along with #3985 later on (voluntarily) not only for just public relations, but to assign specific tasks or offer help when needed in situations like these. They're not just for show or to make rail fans happy as both operate in nearly perfect condition after extensive restoration efforts!

So sad that he passed away. I remember him from so many TM VHS Tapes & DVDs he narrated. RIP
