Don't let this struggle fool you. #40 is a fantastic puller. I worked at NH&I for 4 years in the early 2000s. On a Sunday in October of 2002, I was the "Trainman" on the Fall Foliage trip to Warminster. We had 2198 7087 in push pull with 1096, 1220, 1505, and 1202 as our consist. Both diesels were not in good health and we limped into Lahaska on our last legs. 40 was on the regular train with 1430, 1424, 1127, and 4907 as consist. We combined our trains for the run home. 40 struggled not a lick getting us up the hill to Lower Mountain road but put on a fantastic show. In my opinion, the finest performance of throttle and scoop I ever saw. 40's crew that day was Pete Bransky engineer and the late great William Sherrick as fireman. I remember Tommy Marion was on 2198 but I sadly cannot remember his brakeman. Good memories!!!

I agree, I know it's a great puller. It's rare to have it happen with this locomotive. If you see my other video from this day (posted on Friday), you'll see it pulled (and pushed) great the rest of the day.

I worked in New Hope Pennsylvania in 1968 and part of 1969. As hard as it is to believe this steam train at least the engine and tender were stolen. I worked at Moorehead Chevrolet on route 202 just outside of town towards Lahaska. A mechanic named Nick came to work one morning and said to me, boss I thought I was late for work today. I said no you seem fine to me and he said well I sat straight up in bed when I heard the whistle for the train. The train started to run at 9 AM in the morning at that time and when he heard the whistle he presumed he was late for work. It was I think he said 2 AM in the morning. It’s reasonable to assume that a few of the younger people in the area who hung around the train station and the repair shop probably threw a couple shovels full of coal in the banked firebox, build up a little steam and started the train on its way. Now for those who know New Hope and that train track area you do know that it has to cross the east and westbound lanes of Route 202 and had flashing lights at the crossing, at least it did then. The train went a few miles down the track and then ran out of steam and that’s where they found it. What a wild town New Hope Pennsylvania was and probably is, I live in Western Pennsylvania now and I miss places like New Hope. My three year old son called the train the Hope Choo Choo. Edited for spelling error
@blw588244 жыл бұрын
That railroad doesn’t cross 202. It was probably a late night freight run
@yt6504 жыл бұрын
@@blw58824 I didn’t take into consideration that they built a new bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, thereby moving route 202 over the new bridge north of the old route 202 that went through Lambertville and of course New Hope. I see that it’s marked 179 now and E. Bridge St. going over the old bridge into Lambertville. When that was called route 202 the lanes were split and the train had to cross both streets and the streets were separated by homes or businesses. The train was not making a late night freight run at 2 AM. When you find a train a couple miles down the tracks sitting there, no engineer, what freight do you think was involved? If you don’t remember route 202 going through new Hope and into Lambertville then you are a youngster. Edit. Do you remember when there were shows in New Hope and they starred female impersonators from New York? They were advertised that way on the marquee. I dealt with these people they were very nice they were very kind and sometimes they would come into the dealership where I work in drag or half of their make up on.
