i think the Southern pacific #98 was full speed

2:32 Oh, that’s right! The Niagaras also used to have air horns.

Could y'all post the full version someday?

I have one of the original Grand Canyon railroad spikes

8:15 That’s Luna Loud’s Nickel Plate Road S2 Lima 2-8-4 No. #759

5:51 That’s Lola Loud And Lana Loud’s Nickel Plate Road S3 Lima 2-8-4 No. #779 The Last Steam Locomotive

Reading never owned Baldwin AS-616's (a Baldwin AS-16 with 6 axleed trucks), they only had Baldwin AS-16's (with four axled trucks).

Beautiful steamboat!

0:12 EM-1 bringing empty hoppers (probably from Lorain) Southbound onto the then B&O Akron Division (Now CSX New Castle Sub) from the CL&W Sub at Sterling, Ohio. Looks a lot different today with the Erie Marion Division and RU Tower gone. Those were the days.

This is just my honest opinion. The Louisville & Nashville M-1's should've been classified or re-classified as "Cumberlands" instead, named after the Cumberland Plateau where the Louisville & Nashville rail line travels through ,also where the M-1s were used hauling heavier freight and Passenger trains.

1:00 It’s so amazing to see footage of NYC 3001 in active service. I’ve only seen her once at the National New York Central Railroad Museum in Elkhart, Indiana back in February 2023 when I had just turned 22 years old.

Who else is back to watch this following the announcement that 3001 is getting restored to operating condition?

can’t wait to see 3001 back in its glory!!

2:21 I think this is really neat! You hardly ever see footage of a GS class northern pulling a freight train (at least, not while it’s wearing its streamlining and Daylight paint scheme.)!

EXCELLENT! WELL DONE!

I may only be in my early 20s, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing these beautiful machines thundering down the track! The Pennsylvania Railroad is my favorite railroad of the past and seeing those mighty steamers in action makes me even more excited for the day when they finally get K4s #1361 back into service!

I would get this just for the Pittsburgh scenes. So much of the PRR is available but so little in Pittsburgh. The bridge the cameraman was on is still there, hasn't been replaced. The yard is now full of buildings and parking lots, and with just the main line the only piece of railroad left.

2:48 [train chugging]

0:40 Norfolk and Western 0:48 Danny Dark: The railroad's premier heavy tonnage hauler was the 2-8-8-2 Y6 class locomotive.

When will these be available for digital download? In all honesty I really don’t think a lot of people have dvd players nowadays. I would love to watch these amazing collections on a daily

My wife and I were on this last Voyage, our 9th river trip on board. It was a bitter sweet moment for sure. One note, the bar was super stocked. The staff asked the Captain "what shall we do with all this inventory"? The Captain said "serve it"! And so they did! I never saw such drinks before or since. Life on board was like no other cruise any where. You have closets bigger than an F cabin on the DQ. No one complained. No one ever complained. That was life on board. We had Mary Greene's old cabin.. Cities waited for the Queen to arrive, every time. Such fanfare! The kitchen was about the size of a 1950 bedroom. From there 175 people were fed wonderful meals. I can't imagine how hard the crew worked so all of us could have such a good time. Her Whistle! I heard Captain Changary say " the Delta Queen has the prettiest whistle on the river. He had it sounded A LOT!

3:05 I think that’s 4014

I love steam locomotives 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

This DVD is SOO worth it! I specifically bought it for the Cincinnatian footage and it didn’t disappoint!

Does this boat use coal?

Thank you Danny Harmon for narrating the Articulates. I also enjoy your Distant Signal Channel.

Is that Perry Como?

Kevin Michael Richardson: Mallet or "Articulated" locomotives came in two varieties. "Simple Articulated," meant that boiler supplied steam to two sets of equal sized cylinders. "Compound Articulateds" had larger sized cylinders in the front and small ones in back. The compound design to allowed hot steam straight from the boiler to power the regular sized rear cylinders. The steam expelled from these would then be sent to the largest front cylinders. Their extra size compensated for the reduced pressure of the second hand steam they utilize. Recycling the system had its benefits, but other drawbacks to the compound cylinder system the limited the locomotives' success. But simple articulateds like the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenys. And 4-8-8-4 Big Boys enjoyed productive careers hauling millions of tons of freight for up to 20 years. The 4-6-6-4 Challenger type engine number 3985 is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world. It was reccomissioned and restored in 1981. And while number 3985 is currently being rebuilt. It's toured the country as a public relations ambassador, pulling excursion specials and occasionally working freight trains. Challengers were designed in the 30s as dual service locomotives to pull both passenger and freight trains. Over an 11 year period, 252 were built. The first of them and greatest number went to the Union Pacific, who reportedly named them after the challenging assignments they faced in Utah's wasatch mountains.

Does this film only have the one clip of the S2? Or is there more?

The European mind can’t comprehend having engines so large and then not immediately rearranging the tracks it goes over

I actually have a possible date because my grandma used to ride on the Pennsy, it was ether 1948, or 1947 when my grandma was young

RIP PRR. BTW nice footage

At least it is pure luck that we still have one T1 still running

Rip B&O em-1 7600 and 7609

It’s a pity that most steam locomotives in the video are scrapped

Wow I've never seen so much footage of running NYC locomotives.

Cool seeing the servicing going on without the first safety vest or hardhat. 👍

This Is Great Watching The N&W Pochontas Glory Series Vol. 7 & 8 With Athintic N&W Sound With 4-8-0 Mastodon Virgina Creeper #382 & #429 😊😊😊 🚂🚂🚂

This Is Great Watching Nickel Plate #759 & The Last N&W Pocahontas😊😊😊 &🚂🚂🚂

My grandfather, Art White from San Jose, was an engineer on the Southern Pacific. Greetings from New Hampshire!!

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲

I thank God almighty for the Union Pacific and their steam heritage program. Because of them we got to see a couple of these big articulated beasts like the Challenger and now Big Boy 4014 in action in modern times and the present.

Fantastic video! It was my delight to take two trips on the Queen (and to play the calliope once). I’ve lost touch with her status over the years and need to find out what’s going on. Until then, watching this vid made me happy!

That time was the beginning of the end of the steam locomotives. From there, they still continued producing steam locomotives up until either the 1940s/early 1950s, & it wasn't until the 1960s when nearly all steam locomotives phased out & replaced by more diesel ones.

The live sound recordings and scenes are precious and I would recommend this DVD to anyone who loves SP steam. Only thing I can say about it in a negative way are how drawn out some of the chase scenes can feel. If you're into that though, this is for you.

I came here for the AC-9

the world's biggest steam locomotive is the Pennsylvania Railroad S1 not the Big Boy

0:08 That definitely isn't authentic audio

Very impressive and enjoyable classic footage of the Reading rr operations during the transition era period, these were the final years of steam operations and it's great to see that these moments were recorded on film. The Reading rr t1 class 4-8-4 Northerns and the G class Pacifics were impressive examples of steam power to view in service as shown in these film recordings.

Rode behind many of these on CN passenger trains. Nice scenery. Too bad the horn doesn’t sound as good as what I recall on those CN trains.
