Okay, so if the caboose is in front of the helper it's pretty much smashed with a capital S

I had a DVD with this Locomotive but it was from the Vanishing Age of Steam and had narration

What boilers must they have, the pop valves are still slightly blowing.

That is a lot of coal trucks!

A love this vídeo

Looking at the way those fireman were over stoking, I think they burned more coal than they hauled over the hill!😂

Look at Those Babies Work ❤ It 😊

Comment #700. Steam locomotives are of custom design, carefully engineered for very specific assignments and terrain. There's no use comparing UP locomotives to N&W locomotives when the two railroads served completely different geography than one another. It makes more sense to compare the A to the H-8 because they served similar geography.

Only the Yellowstones of Duluth, Missabe And Iron Range pulled heavier loads!

Spettacolo!!!

Excellent! I love how the helpers are white from the copious use of sand.

I love seeing the steam engine pushing the train up the hill!

Those Class Ys could have used some TLC from L. D. Porta or Andre Chapelon. But like most American locomotives,. they were designed to get the most work out of every pound of locomotive, not every pound of coal.

One of my beautiful childhood memories.., I can't forget it

Head office of this railroad knew build the locomotive for this job hat off n&w personnel.

Yes and today the US makes her money way different: She holds 30 Trillion US Dollars of debt, and with an inflation of 10% she can make 3 Trillion US Dollars a year, getting rid of 2.7 Trillion US Dollars of 20 years of Afghanistan war in one year for instance and making an additional plus of 300 Billion US Dollars. Some of that the US middle class pays for, the rest do all the surrounding foreigners ('part of the US hegemony/empire') pay for This works as long as - everybody uses the US Dollar, - this use may be enforced by US means multidimensional if people or states try to turn away, without equal sized outside counterforces balancing opposite direction, - all the others keep on working.(1) Three levers towards the US go with it. We see all in action today.(2) 1 - The only available lever of them three to the individual of course - 'Why keep on working - let's spend our money before it's too late' - but fashism arrises, takes away such freedom. Blames it. 2 - The earlier the shift to China for the rest, the earlier the rest bottoms out. It's not propaganda, stupid, we see real forces at work.

How many coal hoppers did it have!

Awesome! Very similar to this one half way across the world in Germany. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKulo6OPoa6bgck

Heavy!

Schön dass es diese Zeit noch immer gibt das wahr noch Sound der Dampfloks aber das zeigt wie diese Männer noch arbeiten müssten

What’s the second tender for. I know one is for coal, the other one looks like the kind of tender like the oil tender for the Big Boy that Union Pacific restored. Did these steam engines use both coal and oil. Any info, please, is appreciated.

This looks like PRR Q2....

Look at those ladies workin!

Look at the energy in that exhaust! You never see steam working hard like this in excursion service. These things are making POWER. Think of how many GP7s it must have taken to replace this.

Great video. Thanks for posting!

Did someone know how fast were these trains with all that load?

Amazing power those steam loco's had..

Awesome footage

Something I've been wondering for a long time -- British firemen were always taught that the locomotive exhaust should be a pale grey colour, and dense black smoke like you see here was indicative of the locomotive being over-fuelled, giving an inefficient fire. But American steam locomotives always seem to be belching solid black smoke. What's the reason for that?

This is the 1st tine I’ve seen an engine behind the caboose.

A single BIG BOY steam engine can do the job.

But the engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954

Still get a tear in my eye when I hear an old train in the night.

What state was this in?

Wow! What a show!

The steam beauties are really champions of hauling unbelievable load which is their proud love to watch such a great fabulous marvellous superb nice video

Did Y6b needs backup water tank in addition to normal tender?

Really. 175 wagons loaded with coal pulled on an upgrade by two steam locomotives PLUS, two auxiliary tenders and one pusher on the rear, can you imagine how many modern locomotives it would take to accomplish that today. I reiterate, steam locomotives are anything but junk, they indeed rock and some have been restored back to roll.

How very cool, I really like it.

I would like their road number pls

Completely savage even till this day. 3 engines pulling around 12,000 tons with 175 coal cars. Super impressive.

The y class is like the Eastern version of the big boy

What’s the next show that has Steam related? Steam around the Great Plains 1987-2017!

In this country there freight cars, not wagon loads.....get that British crap outta here

I'll always love the ole' steam giants! So glad O. Winston Lake photo documented this nostalgic era.

Sometimes pushers operated tender first. I've seen N&W archival footage of it.

Amazing film, but what year was this taken?

?one tender is for coal, the other water?

This is a great video

Norfolk and Western sure knew how to make amazing steam locomotives!
