Once again, only one of these streamliners survived

N&W 2174 and 2143 and 2189 and the 0-8-0 switcher where scrapped

Tight, powerful big band

You can do a BNSF santa clause X-press freight train.

A scrapped, and a survivor.

What exactly happened here at 1:05 with N&W 2123? At first it had a hooter whistle that the Y class is very well known for but then 10 seconds later at 1:25 it's whistle have changed before reverting back to hooter at 1:50. Did N&W 2123 have two whistles or was there another locomotive passing by?

Isnt 2123 a y3a

It never ceases to amaze me how versatile the Y6/a/b was for its size. It had the power to pull heavy coal drags upgrade at low speed, yet it had an equal ability to run at speed with high-precision time freights. I believe the common practice on Y6 coal trains was to operate in simple until the engine hit 10 mph, at which point the engineer would shift to compound operation. The engine would remain in compound at speeds above 10 mph, but if the load was required to drop back to 10mph or below, the booster would be activated. The activation of the booster characteristically had an audible effect on the exhaust, as the individual beats became a continuous roar. E. C. Eddy was not wrong in saying that the Y6 could technically be classified as a 3-speed steam locomotive.

2123 is an OG Y6

Back when 475 looked good

it never gets old watching those giraffe duck like that.

I love the model of the Y6b.

I love the J1! Looks similar to the streamlined version. Which I love as well.

I wish she sounded like this. Her current whistle sounds awful and lacks all the charm this one has.

My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks

I must back up Matt and ask what sound file is in your Y6? Was it upgraded to PS2 3volt? I just got one and am looking to change the sounds in it

2:05 whats that photo and whats the number?

I love N&W hooters

That is a awesome locomotive! I love the sounds on it I’ve been trying to look for one for a good price. I love the weathering on it.

Do you know what sound file was used in your Y6B?

I just came across this video - nice work on the trains! I love the upgrades to the MTH passenger cars - it looks like there is silver around the window frames. Did you paint them or use another method?

My favorite lady besides the human kind

I saw myself

i see no virtual differences between the y6a and y6b

People that say none of thee locomotives will ever run again need to remember the Big Boy. After that, anything's possible.

I always loved the sounds of PS1

O Winston link?

I spent some time in the old girl back when they filmed The Natural with Robert Redford.. check out it out..great film. Conrail brought the whole train to South Dayton New York..imagine trying to pull that off today with CSX or NS!

Would love to see a GTW 4070/NKP 587 doubleheader on the CVSR in the future.

She’s alive and well but her original 1990’s whistle needs to be found.

Hello! may i use this audio for a documentary? im making on this loco! i will credit you!

My dad use to run her back then . He hated when they wood load up the fire box for photo passes.

Awesome I love steam recordings. I still make them myself wish there was more of this stuff. 2101 and her custom Nathan whistle for Bill Howes jr. sound fantastic!

Where do you get that I wanna get it

What is a dynamo

Hammering like the entitled princess we know the J's to be!!!

The very best steam locomotive whistles ever made were on the Norfolk & Western Steam Locomotives which they built their own in their Roanoke,Virginia shops. Norfolk & Western was the king of steam locomotives.

I volunteer with 4070's owners, donate to help restore her here: www.midwestrailway.org

wgere is 89 housed

Bet that's a solid 45-50 mph clip he's making on that freight! I'll have to pick this recording up. I think some of the old Hawkins releases have been re-issued on cd haven't they?

Always wondered why the N&W chose the 2156 for donation. Why didn't they pick a newer Y6 like the 2197 which had been built only afew yrs before it was retired?

Nice! What road name were these originally?

When was this recorded?

Amazing! I actually get to volunteer with Midwest Railway Preservation Society in Cleveland, the owners of 4070. Midwest is working on several projects: Rebuilding part of their roundhouse, working on electrifying their turntable and performing work on GTW 4070 and Reading 2100 and other various rail equipment. You can find Midwest's site at www.midwestrailway.org/ (Donations to them are much appreciated!) If you want to help 4070 run again please donate!

I recently started volunteering with Midwest Railway Preservation Society who has 4070. Much appreciated donations can be made to help 4070 return here: www.midwestrailway.org/ and to see MRPS's other projects like their roundhouse

too cool
