This is the only footage of ATSF 5000 in revenue service right?

It’s such a shame that the only time crossings get recognized is when it comes to bad stuff like accidents and stuff. We should really also give the them the recognition for being the amazing works of technological art that they are!

Real hard jobs, real hard men, real hero’s that we owe our high standard of living to. My opinion.

Everything down to the church bells the crossing gates and the whistle is just chilling. I can’t imagine that entire town just woke up to the j class.

13:25: NS #5261's Ex-Conrail Leslie RS3L. 0:15 5:26 13:08 24:31: SOU #630's Ex-Central of Georgia 6 chime.

Imagine 471 Miles in 9 Hrs. 45 min. Average speed of 48.31 mph.

18:28 24:33 25:40: SOU #630 Ex-CofG 6 chime whistle, & bell sounds good!

They should bring coal back look at the jobs created maybe not ships but clothes heating food cooling ECT jobs jobs jobs just saying

RIP Marge Shaw 1933-2023

It’s crazy to think that most if not all of the steam locomotives in this video are now long gone.

KICK ASS, BABY! SIMPLY RIGHTEOUS & KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to get a copy of this video for a museum presentation

Back when road names were plentiful.

2:24 YES! Let's smoke while riding in a tube! That smoke harms no one! 2:34 The obligatory black steward. I shall ignore him. 3:08 And... Action! Same scene: Of course I would get partially undressed in my cabin and then retreat to the bathroom to finish up. I've got four square feet after all! 4:00 Bogey slumming. 4:08 Rochester is back! 4:36 Would like to see this scene fleshed out a bit. 4:54 That IS a clean compact kitchen! I'm certain the chef was happy to work in such a space. 5:16 Rochester is back! And he's unobtrusive! 5:46 The Pleasure Dome Car! Now, remember, this is Whites only. Or so it seems. Informal friendliness! 6:13 Rochester! 6:40 Rochester! 7:03 Yeah puff that ya ex-flapper! 8:07 Rochester! 8:41 Because all Indians wore bejeweled moccasins. 9:07 Well we've seen the peasants. 9:40 No longer unfortunately. 10:31 Dude's like why are you talking to my lady? 11:09 Uh-oh! Mountains! Sorry Donner's but we're going around.

Cool I am a fan of nickel plate road railroad

This fine documentary is brought to you by the Cargo Movin' People of Norfolk and Western.

What year was this footage taken?

Cool old footage of steam trains in the past here from all these major kinds of railroads.

Steam crews worked very hard for their paychecks!

What locomotive was that at 8:20? Didn’t look to have but 4 drive wheels

Men wore the gloves and ladies wore the aprons. 🤔🏆

23:56

like train

This all happened in my state

Burlington northern pre-merger video I like from the 70s I think

It was enjoyable to view this. Its wholesomeness diverts attention on all of the crappy news in the 21st century, the slanted media coverage, widespread illegal activities without respect to other peoples’ rights and properties. Sad. The past has more to offer than the future.

Such a nice B&W FILM. PLEASE DONT COLORIZE IT⚠️

Excellent video!! What a fine run!! 🚂

0:01 Where is this crossing at?

What year was this filmed and where?? I'm guessing the late '50's to early '60's.

2023 Christmas Eve....new tradition starts tonight!

Really enjoyed the video.

Bought to you by Bituminous Bob who died from Black Lung. 😮

Yeah Right 😂

It's amazing and shameful how far we've let ourselves go,

This is a great and enjoyable steam era documentary production dedicated to the Nickel Plate Road , the Nickel Plate Road ( NKP) had an impressive roster of steam power including their Hudson, Mikado and Berkshire type locomotives. The Nickel Plate Road has preserved 6 Berkshires, 1 Hudson type and 3 Mikado type steam engines that still exist today and it's great that NKP preserved a fair amount of steam power for historic public observation for the future.

Very impressive and enjoyable documentary about the tasks of freight shipment operations involving the N&W railroad, this documentary was also impressive for displaying the variety of steam power operating on the N&W railroad system, including the various articulated locomotive classes.

Thanks from a guy raised on the SP mainline north of Glendale. 1940-1957

13:31 Could you, would you on a train?

New York Central Railroad 4-6-4 Hudson Locomotive 9:29 [train chugging]

What a great piece of history on film to being held. Any way of getting a copy?

1:03 What a gorgeous building. I would love to visit it at some point. Oh wait....

Filmed during the height of Bill Brosnan’s overhaul of the entire railroad. Everything from automated yards to microwave radio transmission and mechanized track gangs. A lot of his ideas/inventions are still in use today.

WRONG. That's NOT recorded off of 611, that's sister 605, because you can tell by the sound of the high-pitched bell when it was arriving at a station. XP

Alas, what America has truly lost!!

Is this what cooking a steam locomotive looks like?🤣

My favorite character is the guy with the pipe. He just looks like he's smoking that pipe and chilling.
