I loved watching this when I was a kid. I loved the Orient Express one.

ok this is the last one: 52:03 it sounds like a steam locomotive going into heaven

49:15 i really like this part

Porter 5 is coming back!

Heavy C.W McCall and Jim Stringer vibes.

Great historic video. Comparing this one to the current ones seeing all the clearings and unblocked views and the lack of timber on the hills. A lot has grown up in the last 30+ years. Too bad the loop track in Mineral is gone. Even seeing the changes in Elbe with the new depot and the hobo inn not there yet. I grew up there in the PNW, and the family still has cabins and property in Ashford. It's great to see what WFIM has been doing to get the railroad back running.

One of the finest railroad films I've seen. So beautifully produced.

God... the fact that most JMJ Videos are quickly becoming "Lost Media" is sad. There's VHS's my brother and I grew up watching, have saved (hopefully still preserved OK), yet no copies available anywhere online, and us without proper tech to transfer everything to digital. :(

I still find it somewhat hard to believe that this locomotive was stronger than the Challenger 3985. What a majestic engine that 1218, and a beautiful hooter whistle to suit it.

Thanks for uploading this! Fun fact: This steam engine was used in the 1990 movie Come See the Paradise with Sandra Oh & Dennis Quaid. It was taken all the way down in northern Oregon at a siding where they filmed it

Norfolk and Western...THERE'S NO STOPPING US!

Hybrid of the egg and 80s livery on 90. I love it!

NIIICE !!!! Beautiful shots !!!! I like the tip of the hat to the Southern Pacific commute coaches the SUBS short for suburban. So glad that this operation is once again alive and kicking as of June 2024.

The song is pretty fire ngl

Someone out there still wants to complete the set

I rmbr that commercial. I wanted that train! 😊

Can this version be used in videos or is it forbidden?

TYCO really tried to make their train sets look cool and highend but the truth is that they’re really terrible.

I honestly like the original screaming NKP 5 Chime whistle during 1988 and 1989. It kind of reminds me of a V10 engine with the way you can hear it scream in the distance as the locomotive goes by. But the second NKP 5 Chime also sounds amazing. You can never really go wrong when it comes to a steam locomotive's whistle in my humble opinion.

Long live the king... ROCK AND ROLL! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I must go some time

That is a train song🎶

Whats funny some of them younger folks that worked on this crew are getting close to 70 now.

Seen Ole Ross back last fall he was in goshen running 611.

I hope 1223 and 7002 and 1361 will be in service again someday

Cool video I haven’t seen this one before! It crazy how different the landscape looks

2:30 Kevin Michael Richardson: The U.P. Steam program's other locomotive as a newly refurbished number 844.

1:28 It was kinda of a missed opportunity for #1380, the only streamlined southern engine to be preserved and in excursion use.

Taken exactly five years before I was born.

You could see Pickering Lumber Shay #11 prior to her early 1990s restoration. #11 last ran in 2001.

Man I just can't wait until No. 5 is back up and running again. ^^

Awesome Video

Sorry about the lack of new videos on the channel. Multiple projects are in the works as of writing this. Some unexpected technical challenges have delayed a majority of the forthcoming videos on the channel & are actively being sorted out. For those interested in supporting the restoration of no. 5, please consider making a donation to WFIM's GoFundMe page. www.gofundme.com/f/help-restore-porter-no-5-to-active-service?attribution_id=sl%3A468b65ee-ce18-46ce-b0fb-8ad637cfdc4b&+share-sheet&

As close as I'll get to seeing and hearing a C&O F-15 !!

Fun Fact about this trip exactly: At Jersey, TN (Where TVRM is) there’s Footage of 2716 passing by 630 at Grand Junction and this footage can be seen by Tom Rocks Footage

34:11 / 39:50

My mom got this for me in the mail via Amazon

0:49 Bob Krieger: The largest operating steam locomotive in the world is the Union Pacific's 3985.

I don't recall 587 having a different whistle from her nkp 5 chime, except for that n&w whistle from 382

My Great Grandpa was an Engineer that operated 2716 on the Ohio river. He lived in Dover KY.

It's really unfortunate that Nelson Blount wasn't able to have the chance to fulfill his vision of the Steamtown U.S.A by building a roundhouse in Keene, New Hampshire, and of having that connect along with a tourist railroad. However, even if he did survive the plane crash he died from, his vision may not have been fulfilled either way, because the state of New Hampshire and the Boston and Maine Railroad at the time weren't quite interested in selling off some of their railroad lines at this time, and if they did sell some, they would be stubborn about it. Alternatively though, if Mr. Blount survived and waited till the 1970s, then he could've had his vision come true, as that was the time when New Hampshire and the B&M were selling off a lot of their smaller lines. One can dream though. For anyone interested in learning about Steamtowns origins, I would highly recommend going to the Roundhouse Podcast hosted by Nick Ozorack, and watching his video interviewing Rick Kfoury of how Nelson Blount was able to acquire the Steamtown collection and got his idea for Steamtown U.S.A in the first place.

don't know why, but 1218 has it over the Big Boy; certainly the most mournful howl to that whistle. 6000hp, what a beast

3:19 This Union Pacific Challenger Class Express Steam Locomotives Looks Amazing. Thanks Mate. X

4:00 one of my home locomotives

Video in 1982?
