Strasburg Rail Road: Steam on the Road to Paradise

[@davidmarconett3820]

Number 90 is a beast! My favorite steam locomotive in the Strasburg Railroad locomotive list! Clean and majestic sounding bell, and a powerful whistle!

[@masterskrain]

I've ridden the Strasburg several times, and ALWAYS enjoy it!

[@jam22401ify]

I used to ride 475 and 90 and many different trains at the Strasburg railroad

I'm a railfan (specificall a PRR fan), and I live in Lancaster. I go to the Strasburg RR whenever I can. I didn't grow up here, but I remember family trips when I was young, and I was hooked. Whenever I get depressed, I go to strasburg, and it cheers me right up. Unfornaturnately My only child (my daughter) doesn't share my love of steam power (hell, she's not a railfan by any stretch of the imagination). One of the locomotives scared the hell out of her when she was about 3 - a pop-valve blew and the noise scared her. There's a similar story about about me that pertains to a Blue Angels show back in the late 60's, so I became an aviation fan as well as a rail fan - go figure!

I love steam engines, but I wouldn't go near them from the ages of about 8-13 because I got jumpscared by the whistle on 765 when it was in Scranton

[@slipperylaw4329]

Aw, I love this place every time I see the red caboose hotel and the sbrr man I love it. I get that feeling that I’m little again and I’m about to go on a train. Man I love that please. And remember kids STOP LOOK AND LISTEN

[@jakebello7988]

This place will always make me smile...

[@heatherallan2695]

if u go to pa go to all train places u can lcate the best locations hotels near rail lines etc

[@Stussmeister]

My maternal grandmother lived out in Lancaster County while I was growing up, and every now and then, she (or my parents) would take me for a ride on the Strasburg Railroad. I credit this short line (and a certain blue tank engine) with engendering a deep passion for trains and railroads within me.

[@indie1361]

Thanks for sharing!

[@royggray]

I remember back in the early 50's my father was an engineer on a Locomotive for the Union Railroad in Clairton, Pa. Hauling in and out of the steel mills. He took me too work several times and let me drive the train. Those were the good old days! the

[@toplaycool21]

I grew up in Lancaster county and it is one of my favorite destinations in Pennsylvania. South central PA has the best stuff to see (I. E. Hershey, Harrisburg, & Gettysburg). Everytime I go to this region, it feels like coming home. The farmland, food, historic attractions etc. If you can't afford Disney or Hawaii, go do a 2 week vacation here. You'll have plenty to do, trust me. Strasburg Railroad, Hersheypark, Sight and Sound, Gettysburg National Park, the State Capitol building, Dutch Wonderland, Amish Farms etc.

[@josephriddick2951]

Just got back from my ride on this train. I took the 7:00 pm sunset ride. Beautiful. The train museum is also well worth the visit. Where else can you actually climb on board some of the engines and cars to see what is is like to at the controls of these large locomotives.

[@presidentktngroup]

Wow, you know how to keep your audience interested. Enjoyed it to the end, yes, you got me.

When I visited last September, I noticed a few old steam locomotives that were stripped. Does anyone know anything about them?

[@jschruefer5668]

My happy place...

[@Voucher765]

I went here back in 2009, Being in the middle of Amish country it's mostly desolate except for the railroad station and museum next doors but however it's a stones throw from Philadelphia which makes traveling there easy.

[@Thomas__Blue]

This is definitely my favorite place in America, you definitely got a lot of beautiful shots! I’m surprised the farmers don’t mind the rail fans taking videos like this haha. Great video!

[@indie1361]

As long as folk are respectful and don't do any damage the farmers do not mind!

[@transportationproductions1794]

These outside steam locomotives need restoration.

[@AustinsAmericanFlyertrains]

Thanks for the very well done video. One question I have is about freight. When freight is hauled does it go beyond the line? Seems I remember a rail connection beyond the station.

[@indie1361]

Freight is hauled on an as-needed basis. As I understand it, the tracks west of the station are used for storage

[@garrett_1948]

I'm not quite sure about it being the oldest continually operating shoreline railroad in North America. I think many people get confused with specific statements like these. Now it is the oldest name that is still used for a rail operation in North America however not the oldest continually operating. I belevie that the Sierra Railway / Sierra Railroad is the oldest CONTINUALLY operating railroad in at least the U.S. A train has operated on the original right of way every single year since 1897. Anybody feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

[@marylandrailfanproductions4491]

[@1chuck96]

As I understand it, Strasburg is a "Mecca" for current main, (and off main) live Steam locomotive parts and services here in the U.S., (and possibly overseas as well). I DO understand that ya'll have a wheel lathe, (as was used on ex-GTW 6325), but what else do you offer? Point being, how cool would it be to do a video on your back-shop(s)? Personally, I think it would hold a LOT more interest than watching your Decapod "choo-choo" and N&W 611, (there's only some much you can do with that right?) I'm not trying to insult you here as you have a nice operation and wish you much prosperity, but us "blood and guts" Steam guys would love to see more of how you and the "former Giants of the Mainline" utilize your operation. 'Just a thought.

[@wd2417]

Why are they running the locomotive in reverse?

[@ericemmons3040]

The Strasburg Rail Road doesn't have a turntable, so the locomotives cannot be made to face in the opposite direction.

[@CarterUP1998]

Great video, I guess the old Raco crossing system got replaced at paradise Ln.

13:57. The train 🚂 ride is boring and lame 😒. It always stops at the same old station 🚉 every year nonstop. Then it goes to the bridge 🌉 like that, uncouples itself and goes to the front of the coaches and then goes the same station 🚉. It need to go to other places around the world 🗺
