My dad was a fireman on the Pittsburgh Division from 1950 - 1954. His stories of the J 1 locomotives were in part what made the J my all time favorite Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive. By the way, I was three years old when I ran my first diesel locomotive on the hump yard at Shire Oaks just outside of Pittsburgh.

When the Sante Fe "Texas' were in use on the Sundusky Branch I was up into the 5011. They were well ballanced and well timed high speed and pullers not offered in any other 2-10-4. I loved those memories.

A big treat! I remember watching these PRR and AT&SF 2-10-4s, single- and double-headed, passing near my boyhood home in Columbus on their way to Sandusky with long coal drags. What a surprise in 1956 to suddenly see Santa Fe engines on the Pennsy!

Actually David, most of these tracks do survive as the main lines of Norfolk Southern today. The coal dock [as referred to in the video] is still standing north of Marion, Ohio. However it's long since been decommissioned. The PRR mainline in the closing shot is now operated by the Seneca County Port Authority and connects with CSX Transportation in Woodville, Ohio.

All of the sounds I added to this video were recorded by Don Krofta's friend Jim Hawk at the time Don was shooting the film. They are accurate for the locomotives you see. Buy the DVD and you'll find a lot more PRR action. Also, I'm sorry to report that Don Krofta passed away in February, 2011. His great films live on in the 16 DVD's we've released of his films on PRR, NYC, NKP, B&O, Western diesels with more to come in the future. -J R Herron, Herron Rail Video.

I was too young to travel that far at the time while reading about all kinds of Pennsy steam activity a few hundred miles away. The Pennsy trains stopped at the signal behind my house in Englewood waiting to cross the Rock Island.

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania has neither a J1 or a 5000 class. Regarding restoration to operation, the same reason we won't see 1223 and 7001 or 460 or even 6755 running is because the Pennsylvania state that owns the collection wants to keep their material as it originally was, in blueprint specs. Restorations would require their boilers to be altered, which in turn keeps them away from their "original" material condition.

Steam engine controls were pretty much common in later USA practice. Throttles were either overhead vertical lever or horizontal pull-back. Power reverse levers were pretty much universal, as were engine and train brake controls. Boiler pressure and other gages could be in different locations, but all steam engines pretty much had the same ones, so it was just a matter of where they were on a particular engine - no big deal. I doubt the Pennsy crews had much trouble adapting to oil firing.

The PRR J-1 was an awesome locomotive. Sort of the opposite of the "Super Power"concept- these had smaller drivers, designed to develop maximum horsepower at average track speeds for freight. And the booster engine in the trailing truck gave an extra 15,000 pounds of starting TE, bringing the total to 110,000 pounds. UP's 844 (a Super Power 4-8-4 Northern) only has a TE of 63,750 with her 80" drivers, and is 300,000 pounds heavier. Decapods rule!

The Pennsylvania in their haste to diesel eyes had stopped shopping steam engines with the intention of there being scrapped so they had to lease engines from to Santa Fe while they were waiting for brand new diesels to be delivered from the various manufacturer. Before the war Pennsylvania engines were spotless and well taken care of and after the war they were treated like a bunch of dirty pigs. Their attitude was widespread money on something that you're going to scrap of course after dieselization 10 years later they were broke.

Few years before me. I was born in 65. By the time I came along most of the fire breathing iron dragons were asleep or out to pasture. Very few survived. And all the streetcars went away and got replaced by stinky busses. That happened during my childhood. I saw some of it happening. The B&O mainline ran right past my aunt and uncle's house. I used to watch the trains go by. I went on the American Freedom Train in 76. Nothing is how it used to be anymore. They tore down the old neighborhoods and replaced them with yuppified townhouses and strip malls. Gentrification. They call it progress. I call it disgusting.

Excellent, thanks for sharing this. Everyone may be interested in checking out the slides of John Dziobko, Jr., that I scanned and uploaded to his site godfatherrails.com and also to railpictures.net Of special interest are the group of slides of John's, from August of 1956 at Columbus. He and his friend Bill Rosenberg, both of the NYC area and in their 20's, went west to Columbus to look for steam as they knew the area was still rife with PRR steam activity. When they got there the friendly PRR workers at the St. Clair Ave. roundhouse told them it was unfortunate they weren't a week later, as at that time they'd be firing up the last two of the SF steamers, #5034 and #5035, both seen in this video. John and his friend went on to railfan in Chicago and the Detroit/Windsor area, then returned to Columbus where they exposed a bunch of Kodachrome film as these engines were serviced. So check those photos out and, it was really great seeing the 5034 in action here. I was trying to read the numbers on the J runby shot, as I also processed a photo of John's shot that week of PRR 6490 at the coal dock in Columbus, being readied for one of these Sandusky coal runs. Thanks again for sharing this.

No Kevin. The 9000 class was impressive in power for the Union Pacific. The 9000 class was impressive because of its wheel arrangement. Its wheels were in a arrangement that is 4-12-2. Wich was impressive!

Honestly, I prefer the Pennsylvania Railroad 3 chimes over the Hancock 3 chimes. The PRR 3 chime quill just has that musical touch to it that the Hancock doesn’t normally provide unless it’s on a Union Pacific FEF Northern or a Northern Pacific Z class challenger like what Southern Pacific 4449 used to wear before it wore out and was eventually replaced by another Hancock which was original to the GS-3 Daylights. The PRR 3 chime is a more pleasant whistle in my experience than say the Hancock which is just a little too deep. The only time I would go deeper is if I were looking for a hooter.

Awesome Don Krofta videos and Ray Herron production! Does anyone know the classical tune used as background music from the beginning of this clip through the 58 second mark? I spoke with Ray Herron, he edited it, but it was years ago, he didn't recall. All help will be appreciated!

Is this an excerpt from "Indian Summer of Steam?" The AT&SF didn't run trains into Sandusky, OH. The PRR leased a few 2-10-4s from the AT&SF to handle the unexpected spike in freight traffic in the area. It was cheaper than bringing their own steamers back into service and the 2-10-4s of the AT&SF were comparable to the J-1s in tractive effort.

Alex Paumen..... What you're hearing is the steam operated Air Pumps which keep the air tanks up to pressure.... same as the diesels have today, in locomotives and semis, except that the locomotives today have much larger and more efficient pumps... usually are 3 cylinder, semi-radial design.
