There's no such thing as bad weather when you have a dramatic display of steam railroading.

When we needed him most, he returned.

Dear lord, some of the most beautiful steam productions ever.

[@douglas7046]

This is beautifully produced; a story well told. I was proud to have one of my vintage photographs in a show at the O. Winston Link Museum this past year and your tip of the hat, masterfully done, did not go unnoticed. Exceptional good work and thank you.

[@fuscoproductions]

Thanks for the glowing review. O. Winston Link is an inspiration to us all, and I am glad you noted the influence. :-)

[@modelrailwaybackshop]

if there was a movie cast, I would have thought this was for a movie!

[@spacemarine88]

Just when I think "This is it, surely he can't top this...." Astounding, you're putting that camera to great use. Clearly in skilled hands!

[@-_Spiral_-]

Isn’t it amusing that this vid dropped during an already personally wonderful day? Seems it just got better. Man, this is ART.

[@-_Spiral_-]

And even a month later, I gotta say this. I forgot to in the first place. The shot at Ringoes was literally *perfect.* That rainbow really added such a special touch to it, along with the camerawork.

[@PANortheasternRailfan]

Incredible production!! Black River and Western #60 is one I have not seen in person yet, but I definitely plan to once it is back in service; and I am definitely looking forward to it even more now after watching these excellent scenes!!

[@BTCRAILFILMS]

Man, I’m just speechless at the quality of this. Absolutely amazing work!!

[@MPT_Productions]

Joe, This is an absolutely spectacular video, from beginning to end! I think the opening might have been my favorite part with a great selection of detailed shots with seamless transitions. Not to mention, a great selection of shots with great compositions and great colors! Very impressive film, Joe!

[@brianfalzon6739]

That rainbow is beautiful in the background.

[@Thephenomenalvoa]

It’s nice to see that this channel still uploads every now and then

[@fuscoproductions]

Thank you! I can’t put out a lot of videos very often, so I like to try my best on each one I make.

[@Whistlestop_Productions]

Yes! New video! Thank you so much for making such pieces of art! You are an inspiration to me. So much, that I'm filming cinematic videos of trains myself.

[@fuscoproductions]

I am so glad you are enjoying it! That means a lot.

[@edwardantrobusjr2253]

I've ridden on that beauty twice. But I think it's been restored since I saw her last. First time I was a kid probably late 1960's. Second time was shortly after I got married, either 1978 or 79.

[@gilbertoarias2339]

Beautiful, nice Takeshi and shots Beautiful color grading

[@SteamPowerPA]

This is amazing. I really don’t know what else to say. The way you bring so much life into your videos is simply incredible. I can’t wait for the full 2102 video sometime in the future!

[@trainknut]

They really got this old beet hauler flying in some of these scenes, some moments are reminiscent of her time on the GW

[@notch8photography]

Excellent work!

[@RailBrothers]

Amazing video guys. This is the kind of video we all strive for! Well done!

[@AdmiralSenn]

This was absolutely stunning. I think it was the best steam video I have ever seen. You deserve a longer, more flowery comment full of praise but I'm at a loss for words.

[@eccentric_traveler]

3:22 to 3:27 the sound is perfect!

[@fuscoproductions]

It is great to hear it running at speed, isn’t it?

[@RHTeebs]

Wonderful Erie caboose. Reminds me of the days when the Erie used to run through my town. Days long since passed.

[@golffy5274]

Cool !

[@ww32]

It's so strange because it's the little things that bring you back home, the shot of Copper Hill Trestle with the Canada Geese just sounded exactly like home to me. It really is strange.

[@fuscoproductions]

Thanks - yeah, same for me. Sometimes it’s those little details that just make it. I was lucky enough to have the geese give me such an almost choreographed performance. I’m pretty sure my mouth was hanging open in surprise during that shot. But like you said - it wasn’t just the visuals - the sound of the geese was equally as important. I am glad you appreciate those details the same way I do.

[@MessinwithTrains]

Yet another magnificant video.

[@stephenmccloughan7541]

Beautiful.

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Fabulous video. Your editing is superb. The 6 shots are amazing, and the black and white at the end is very dramatic. A pleasure to watch.

[@overly7997]

incredible, cinematography looks straight out of Rocky Mountain Express

[@fuscoproductions]

That’s some high praise! Thank you so much!

[@PersonmadudeRailwayProductions]

Dude, what, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Fantastic video and scenery. We enjoyed watching and have a wonderul rest of your Thursday.(Steve)

[@ejovadi]

Excellent video

[@robertmartin3641]

Awesome video I loved that u we’re able to get inside the locomotive

[@steamgent4592]

Joe Fusco he always makes great KZbin videos of steam. I’ve been a follower since R&N 425 returns. Way way back around 2008! Pretty sure I actually know him and met him many times trackside and @ RSME just can’t put a face to the name anymore. But I’m certain we will cross paths again and then I’ll remember. I never forget a face.

[@BrodieProductions412]

Wow. Just wow. Beautiful video

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

14:18 i like how rainbow is on the station behind no. #60 Great video!

[@BMMEC6000]

And so he returns!

[@bigjohnrailproductions8370]

Dear god. I'm speechless at the shots you did. That was awesome. Glad you and many others luck out with the weather.

[@fuscoproductions]

Thank you! Luck is a strong word - we had to hunker down for at least a whole hour waiting for some of the more torrential rains to pass. The rainbow was a consolation prize, but well worth it! Either way the weather made for a dramatic show. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bigjohnrailproductions8370]

@@fuscoproductions oh yes. The shot with BR&W 60 over the rainbow was epic.

[@chendersonrailproductions704]

It too me way to long to finally watch this. Out of all the videos that weekend I think you made the best. From trackside to cab ride the shots and locations are fantastic. Great video, and for a joke it was totally great not seeing you that weekend 😂.

[@scottdk1513]

Great job as always! Thank you!

[@JamesAttwellPhotography]

Absolutely incredible!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Your video work is spectacular as always!!

[@TrainMedia00]

You had the most beautiful camera shots iv seen so far I'm jealous

[@TrainWizardProductions]

Pure art sir!

[@NSandBNSFrailfanProductions]

Nice video! I couldn’t go see this cause I didn’t know about it

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

[@virtualrailroaderacademy8630]

That last shot just screams OWL!

[@MaddoxsTrains]

So, whens it gonna be in IMAX theaters? 😂 Fantastic video!!!

[@fuscoproductions]

Ha! Never say never, I guess! Thanks for the kind words. :-)

[@MaddoxsTrains]

[@RailheadProductions]

Absolute gorgeous videography, may I ask what camera & lens you used?
