Switcher-style steamers were notorious for having a bouncy ride at speed, but then they weren't really made to go fast to begin with, they were designed for pulling power and negotiating the tight curves and switches of rail yards. The rocking and rolling aside, it's actually dangerous to run steam engines that lack a lead truck at high rates of speed, as the drivers have a tendency to want to climb up over the rails on curves. That being said, it was not uncommon to send a switcher out to do local slow freights and other odd jobs out of the yard when nothing else was available, many dockyards and industrial lines used nothing else but switchers as their short wheelbases allowed them to work the tight curves while still being powerful enough to haul heavy loads, and several shortlines had rosters of them for use as road power, either new or bought secondhand when they were displaced by diesel switchers. Personally I love 'em, sound like they're doing a mile a minute when in reality they're hovering around 20 to 30.

Switchers on the mainline are like Hondas. You floor it and it sounds like you’re flying to the moon when you’re only doing 40.

It's likely that the 113 worked with the 833 on my pfp during her time in Jersey City in what was once the Communipaw yards. The locomotive serviced larger mainline steamers not only from the CNJ but also the B&O and Reading RR at the site.

Love that whistle
@TomedysTrains7 жыл бұрын
Wow that is a lot of rock 'n' roll effect going on for that locomotive and its passenger cars. But it's great that it can pull a full passenger train at speed, which is hard to believe for an 0-6-0 tender engine. I also want to say that I love the whistle on Jersey Central #113, it sounds like a Pennsylvania Railroad 3-chime whistle, and I believe I read somewhere that Jersey Central steamers also had 3-chime whistles that sounded similar to the Pennsylvania Railroad 3-chime whistles.
@mikeggg56717 жыл бұрын
Why does she rock so much??
@TomedysTrains7 жыл бұрын
Could be a few possible factors. One, the conditions of the track don't look like they're in their best shape. Two, since this locomotive lacks pilot wheels and trailing wheels, it can cause more rock 'n' roll effect because the pilot wheels help to guide steam locomotives around curves and trailing wheels add support to the firebox and cab, but this locomotive lacks it. Three, because it's a steam locomotive, it creates hammer effect, where every time the side rods come down at their lowest position, it creates a lot of force onto the rails. Those are some of the factors that I believe to the best of my knowledge caused all of the rock 'n' roll effect on Jersey Central #113 in this video.

You're correct, they're both similar 0-6-0 engines, however, you made a mistake with both engines both being from CN, you got confused with CN and CNJ being the same thing, CN is Canadian national whilst CNJ is Central New Jersey. 7470(the locomotive on the Conway Scenic Railroad) is a former Canadian National unit whilst 113 is a former Central New Jersey unit.

Stunningly perfect work, how do you not get shaking and jelloing with a 4k camera and track in poor condition?
@CentralPennRailProductions8 жыл бұрын
+denault3985 Sony cameras are great at resisting shake because they use optical stabilization, not lens stabilization. So for example, Canon cameras use lens stabilization which means there is an actual lens piece in front of the sensor that moves around to stabilize your shot, say if you were shooting hand held. The downside to that is vibrations on a tripod cause that lens to move around even if the option is disabled. I get a few vibrations in my shots but that's most likely coming from the tripod head shaking from standing too close. No camera is perfect, but I have officially sold my soul to Sony from here on out.
@MrJMS8143 жыл бұрын
@@CentralPennRailProductions "lens stabilization" is optical stabilization... Reffering to optics within the lens. You're talking about in-body stabilization, which is not exclusive to Sony. In body stabilization is achieved by having the sensor suspended.

Feeling the love you have for the steam vids you make!! (sorry I'm no D/E fan) In your opinion how much of the extraordinary bobbing & weaving here is due to small driver diameter Vs lack of pony/trailing trucks Vs state of the road? I've never seen so much of it, so am curious . Thanks!
@CentralPennRailProductions5 жыл бұрын
This locomotive was a switching engine back in the coal mining days, so it really wasn't designed for pulling passenger cars at speed. Back then it would move at relative low speeds, but the size of this engine gives it incredible tractive effort. So yes, the lack of guiding wheels, plus the old bumpy track, and the slightly faster speeds make this locomotive bob around quite a bit! Thanks for commenting and watching!

You are correct these tracks are originally the Readings mainline to both Pottsville and Minersville branch. We just operate 113 on them. 113 post CNJ service was sold to a coal breaker 20 miles north west of Minersville where she worked until being stored and moved to NJ until 1993 when she was brought to Minersville for restoration

For a switcher, she's very good at maintaining balance despite her 6 drivers. If she was a 2-6-0, the bopping would've been reduced, but she still did her best, as far as Switchers go. 1:37 her whistle is stunning, but what is this whistle formation supposed to be? It's not a trademark I know that much but her driver was blowing the same verse many times. One above, second time at 3:42, and the 3rd time at 4:10, to name the few times. What is that?

That whistle signal is known as "shave and a hair cut", and originates from an old jingle for a barber shop. Today, many engineers blow the shave and a hair cut signal just for fun, and to give railfans a good show.
