@ ah

@@tracynation2820 478 is my favorite as well.

@@conradfok that does not sound accurate.

@@Mittel-Thurgau-Bahn no, it won’t run here again.

@@JaiahHazelnutBrown Okay, thanks

@@JaiahHazelnutBrown are you sure about that, I was told that at some point they do plan on returning 69 back in service.

@@kevinmadore1794 sorta, it’s just a station name in that vicinity but the historic area you’re referring to stretches to the west side of the track for a couple of miles and isn’t a precise location.

@@adventureoutdoors1545 70 at Dollywood is a White Pass engine, they’re the same class and 70 was built for White Pass.

@@conradfok873 I don’t know I think it was turned wrong but don’t remember.

@@dennisrankin325 we’d love to see it from Carcross back to Whitehorse. That’s some neat track.

@@brianfalzon6739 explain. Break our hearts!

@@JaiahHazelnutBrown it's true

@@Nashvillesteam42 incredible!

Before March 23, 2024.

@@Big_Diehl figured.

Bet it's a touch warm in there.

Judging by the design of the tender, it’s likely that it was off of one of the 190 class locomotives.

Off hand I seemed to recall it was previously behind Rotary 1, and then converted for auxiliary usage, but I could be wrong, and that still does not answer where it came from before rotary usage.

The auxiliary tender in the clip originally was the tender of No. 193, which had been retired in 1946. In 1947, this tender was assigned to be No. 73's tender. The White Pass purchased Nos. 72 and 73 without tenders to save money. There were so many tenders of retired 190-class locos that they could re-assign them to locos in use. In 2001, the ex-193 tender was removed from No. 73, and No. 73 got the tender that used to be behind No. 81. The No. 81 tender had originally been the tender of one of Nos. 191, 194, or 197 - don't know which. The No. 81 tender had been sent down to the Sumpter Valley in 1977, along with No. 81. The No. 81 tender came back in 1990, along with a rotary tender. Back to the ex-193 tender: It became an auxiliary tender in 2019. The way you can tell the original tenders apart without seeing the numbers was by the shape of the top of the tender ladders on the fireman's side. In the case of the original 193/73 tender, the ladder was removed altogether in 1982. White pass put these ladders on shortly after converting to oil, and they were not 100% consistent in the way they made tops of the ladders.

@@BuffaloBob73 Thank you for the info! 👍 You clearly have a good amount of knowledge.

@@RailPreserver2K no they’re all still here. Only the 100 was scrapped about 10 years ago.

They took the prime mover out of the 100 before they scrapped it. Then, they rebuilt the prime mover and put it into the 101. So, they ended up making one loco out of two old ones.

@@doublevideos5424 i made this video a decade ago, it’s not the end all of whistle examples.

Not for crossings, but mostly for responding to signals which is usually only when swapping which engine is controlling the air.

It just doesn’t burn. You throw the scoop quick and efficiently. I can’t always do it depending on the conditions so I have some in my back pocket just in case, but I hate wearing gloves when I’m firing or running. You just don’t actually need them most of the time.

The diesels weren’t doing any work.

@@JaiahHazelnutBrown Do you know what the last steam engine was numbered that pulled the Nancy Hanks from Atlanta to Savahanna? I lived in Tennille at the time but was very young.

As long as you aren’t going crazy and still fulfill what’s legally required, we can more or less blow whistles with our own style.

Having worked at both railroads, Durango is much closer to “how it would have been” compared to Cumbres. I thought I wasn’t going to like oil firing, but having actually worked with it, I have no idea why Rio Grande didn’t convert to it in the 50’s or 60’s, especially when the that part of their railroad was shipping oil drilling equipment. Coal is harder to learn, oil is logical.

Had the camera not been a distraction I might have noticed it.
