Dollywood Express: 192 Opens up the Season

On Dollywood's opening day of the 2014 season (March 22), East Coast Rail Videos trekked on over to Pigeon Forge, TN, home to the theme park Dollywood! Dollywood owns two operating ex. White Pass & Yukon 2-8-2 Mikados, numbered 70 and 192. On this day, 192 was doing the honors of opening up the season. World-famous country singer Dolly Parton (in which the park is named after) was at the park as well but, the star in this video is 192!

Nice work! Got to love the 190 class.

[@jamesfleischer4292]

There my favorite class!

[@didyou555]

Not a 190 class, they are USATC S118 class of locomotive.

[@ncrailfan]

@@didyou555 yes, I know that now. Look at when I commented. 7 years ago.

[@connielilly9916]

Dollywood vs Tweetsie. Which one is better?

[@anthonyparsons2270]

I just want to want to touch dat whistle

[@TheRBMN]

Yes, very good job.... Question though, what camera are you using?

[@steampower2001]

Thanks! For video, I use a Sony CX380.

[@dwefb2980]

Dollywood has 2 Crosby's the one used in the video belongs to one of the engineers And the other one is currently being used on 70 and is more high pitched

[@TechBrosGamingChannel]

The one in this video belongs to Dollywood.

Nice video. Hopefully I'll get over to dolly wood soon. What whistle is it? Sounds a bit similar to a Crosby?

[@steampower2001]

Thanks! The whistle is a Crosby 3 Chime.

[@jamesfleischer4292]

Same as 192's sister 190 at Tweetsie.

[@thomasbush5778]

Does anyone know when 70 will be back in operation?

[@steampower2001]

By the end of this month, hopefully.

[@thomasbush5778]

What was it down with? I heard wheel work (tires, quartering, etc.) was it a 1472 also?

[@jbtrains]

Is this narrow or regular because that's kind of big

[@steampower2001]

Its Narrow Gauge. 192 was built for the US Army, and later served on the White Pass & Yukon.

[@jbtrains]

ok cause looked a bit bigger than the ones ive seen lately incuding busch gardens Williamsburg and Durango and silverton in Colorado
