Steam Trains Finally Return After 2 Years, Coal Smoke & Steam Whistles, American Steam Trains PT 1

Steam trains in America! This coal burning steam locomotive is on an old Pennsylvania Railroad line in Ohio with a caboose and 3 passenger cars. It is the first steam train on this branch line railroad in Lebanon, Ohio in 2 years. This is the Lebanon, Mason & Monroe Railroad just north of Cincinnati, Ohio and south of Dayton. Diesel trains normally operate on this tourist line railroad. It ties into the Indiana & Ohio Railway near Mason, Ohio. Trains operate on 161.385 and there is no freight service on this line. The steam engine is Lehigh Valley Coal #126 and was built in May of 1931 by Vulcan Iron Works in Pennsylvania. It was restored by father and son team John & Barney Gramling and travels by truck to various railroads around the USA. It uses about 100 pounds of coal and 100 gallons of water per mile. It made round trips on this line that totaled about 6 and a half miles each. The Gramlings are from north east Indiana and have several other steam locomotives. This is Part 1 of 2 parts and is filmed in 4K. Part 2 was posted on November 24, 2021.
Filmed August 7, 2021

Thank you for this video with steam locomotives for which I have always had a preference. Long lines of these machines were built. Let us quote for example the series of 1,340 locomotives type 141-R (heated with coal or with fuel), built for France at the end of the Second World War. Only 1,323 units reached their destination as a result of a sinking cargo ship. These locomotives were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima (Ohio).

Thanks for your information! I am finally posting Part 2 the day before Thanksgiving which is tomorrow.

[@rachelolvera9435]

My grandfather and uncles worked on steam engine trains. Grandad was a station manager and four of my uncles engineers .

[@vernonmatthews181]

[@RuleofFive]

The Lehigh Valley Coal Company #126 "Sadie" is an 0-6-0-OST saddle tank engine, built by Vulcan Iron Works for the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, and put into service in May 1931. She is now owned by the Grammling family in Indiana.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks Tom!

[@sgttombailes3380]

I LOVE that Locomotive!!!!

[@paconrail1238]

I used to live in the Lehigh Valley

[@petebachelder1131]

That's a neat vintage railroad, the engine looks so small next to the caboose. 🚂 Also looks funny with no tender. Great video !! 👍 👍

[@johnnydodd9919]

Thanks for doing steam

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Cool to see that little steam unit shoving back and smoking away!

[@anthonythomas7972]

On the 18th, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad did steam in the valley. NPR 765 pulled the train.

[@rachelolvera9435]

That’s so cool . Thanks for sharing.

[@railfanpolska]

Excellent stuff 🙂👍

[@TrainsPlanesAutomobiles]

Nice Video 😃😃🇬🇧

[@chrisryan5339]

Good to see the old steamers. Chris from England. Cheers

[@lynnkramer1211]

That chubby dog is a treat.

[@vernonmatthews181]

Its a purrfect ending to every video, thanks to Mr JT.😎👌👍😁

[@alexaseltine1052]

Something about a steam train whistle sends a good chill feeling up my spine

[@ronhood7773]

This one deffinatly!!!

[@grannygear1001]

We used to ride up Mt. Washington (NH) on an old cog steam railway engine. Now the steamer just goes once early in the day. The rest of the trips are diesel. But it’s still an amazing ride and worth the early trip. Love seeing and hearing this! I can almost smell it.

[@a.davidmoore8966]

That doesn't sound like a steam whistle??

[@dennismelton2261]

It takes one back to the horror train days, because all of those movies used steam trains

[@RailfanNetwork]

Have a wonderful weekend my friend!!

[@Eddy63]

Awesome vid Son ... Chessie has the best personality ever 🚂🚂🚂 👍👍👍

[@bobbydixon9368]

Reminds of me of The New Hope Valley Railroad in New Hill NC. It goes forward for 10 miles then backs up for 10 miles.

[@georgettedebuhr2660]

Awesome video! I love steam whistles. Gives me goose bumps 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Pretty amazing job to get that boiler re-certified after all these years. Great to see it running.

[@Chessie1985]

Excellent little steam engine JT!!!!

[@marcjsolis]

I love steam engines. Cuyahoga Valley just ran the Nickel Plate Road 765. That was a real treat to see!

[@kben101]

3:27 Nice Steam Train

[@jamesharrison6201]

Yes, Thomas is a very useful engine. And he is a 0-6-0 too

[@JawTooth]

Indeed it is!

[@tomsdotter3228]

Cool! Love those steam trains and their horns!

[@JawTooth]

Me too!

[@ram2791]

Rode the Mystery train in Lebanon a number of years ago. Lot of fun. They acted out a murder to solve on the train then you figured it out whil eating dinner at the golden lamb. Great night.

[@celioleitao7303]

Awesome that steam trains have been brought back.

[@scatpackbob3707]

Live steam action 👍🏼

[@TheCheffydave]

FANTASTIC! Love seeing any steam

[@conrailjohn6682]

Hey JT! Awesome little steam loco! Never seen one like that! Great find…

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@Cedarsman.]

I'm from Lebanon Brian 🇱🇧 🤗🤗

[@oldeagle2514]

I can still remember those trains a huffin and a puffin complete with the drive wheel linkage as just a part of their every day routine! Don't call me old, call me experienced!

[@deetjay1]

Very cool...Nice vid...

[@yrunaked4]

seems like that little engine not only could but did so with ease, didnt even hear it work hard. Great catch JT

[@JawTooth]

Thanks 👍

[@russelltrupia4479]

Wow that was cool, awesome job JT . There is nothing like a steam Locomotive.👍👍

[@anthonykotoff3041]

Awesome video love to see steamers always and the dogs 👍🏻🚂🐕

[@Bussmicke2305]

It was very nice video on a beautiful train Thank you very much

[@robertheinkel6225]

That’s a small steam engine compared to that diesel unit parked on the siding.

[@MrBaker-fr8xg]

Good video

[@redpillaware2135]

That WAS cool!

[@redpillaware2135]

Gotta take a trip North on I-71 soon.

[@vernonmatthews181]

Nothing slack about that horn on the Turtle Creek train. Liked how that crossing had no right turn for trucks, so many videos made about the misfortunes of trucks whom misjudged the turning radius of their rigs. Those carriages with windows restricted was one of my jobs about nearly 30 years ago, I was only doing my job. Hope I didn't spoil anybodies fun. Loved the video, takes me back to a time of innocence, a word nearly forgotten ! 😎👌👍😁

[@hernanpatricioorellanaalar3473]

Steam action and Chessie Time!! Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@luismanuelmartinezcastaned8880]

What an incredible locomotive ..... It is surprising that all types of steam locomotives are fully operational .....

[@ruthpeoples9700]

What a great little saddle tank. Thank you for finding this little fella.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks!

[@danbedford5419]

Great video jawtooth

[@martinmarsola6477]

Interesting video. Thanks. 😊👍🇺🇸

[@daniel_the_railfan]

[@kenbath5894]

Good afternoon Jaw Tooth from Blackmans Bay --Tasmania --Australia --often watch you video good stuff and thanks --cheers Ken

[@JawTooth]

Thanks 👍 Hello Ken in Tasmania!

[@0779BooBoo]

That is one glorious piece of history there. Awesome video.

[@markduncan6690]

Come to "New Hamburg Ontario Canada" Mr Tooth " They have an identical steam engine there run by Volunteers!

[@kevinshiley9061]

That is a little one!!

[@spokanetomcat1]

If you watch the movie Benny and Joon that was filmed here in Spokane Washington, the opening train scene is from Ion Washington. The Lyons used to run a train trip like this for many years. Pullman cars, open-air cars, and a caboose. Great views from this train as you will see in the opening of the movie. I would take my family on it before going into Canada for the day or weekend. It was also the filming location of the movie The Postman.

[@michaelschultz5127]

You need to try and go to the ILLINOIS railroad museum in union ILLINOIS, they're the biggest railroad museum in the ILLINOIS. They try to make those steam locos operational, that is if they have the money to do it. They have a 2-10-0 and a 3 truck shay working there .

[@gmills5763]

Hardest workin man on KZbin!!! Show the video son!!!

[@sanddabz5635]

Yes!

[@tobyihli9470]

I can’t say that I’ve seen a railroad crossing without gates.

[@Aldamiras]

Live action in Lebanon Ohio! Neat shortie locomotive. 🎃

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@t.j.carroll8512]

That was cool! Neat small engine doing great work.

[@rippersix293]

Man, this video has everything, an old Nickel Plate GP-30, an old DT&I caboose and that 0-6-0T ! I grew up along the DT&I mainline in the downriver area of Detroit, that caboose really took me back to my youth, thanks Jawtooth!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@larrycurran8036]

Always great to see a steam train! 😺

[@eugenekleis3836]

How are you doing today jaw tooth train man good

[@awizardalso]

I like to see old steam locomotives brought back to life.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@draff1662]

Looks like some of the engines they have in Switzerland. I love the (first) whistle! We have historic rail here - the Catskill Mountain Railroad. They do trips in the Hudson Valley in New York. A short run but a lot of fun like the one in your video. Thanks Jaw Tooth, you always manage to post a great video when I need an uplift!

[@neil442]

Some horn that coach is equipped with -you wont miss that one !!! Nice to see steam still plying the rails making money (tourists nowadays tho ). Plenty of enthusiastic people on board too . Nice catch Jawtooth ! Regards

[@Gfysimpletons]

Till the democrats take it away?!

[@johnrhansonsr]

There were quite a few people on the train. Nice to see history in action. Thanks!

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@raver71fin]

Keep up the good job. Greetings from rail fan Finland

[@WorshiptheFatherandStayclean]

Jaw Tooth I was thinking yesterday at how adorable it was watching your dog and kitten playing and how much your dog can't get enough of the kitten. You should do videos of the two and I'm sure it would go viral. So many animal lovers like myself that love these types of videos. Mabe you can have the kids doing your animal videos and you doing train videos.

[@keithdickson8364]

Back in my home town.

[@jamescotter5376]

Blue sky black smoke my favorite great whistle thank you keep them coming you're great

[@fsctrucking]

I see this locomotive was Lehigh Valley Coal, Hazelton Shaft Colliery. Are there and surviving cars or locomotives from Hudson Coal Co. Pine Ridge Colliery?

[@bryanpeterson9846]

How cool was that!

[@deanstrand4260]

Very nice catches of a steam train live action!! It's been awhile since I ssw one, so this hit the spot.

[@thomasabramson100]

Anyone else notice those where old Erie Lackawanna ""ELECTRIC MU "" coaches that used to run out of their terminal on the Hudson River from Hoboken NJ they were used mostly on the Montclair and Morris & Essex lines . The lead car with the square windows was an original cab car

[@gravelydon7072]

You notice that it still had its pilot also?

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@benbaker2965]

That locomotive was very quiet for a steam engine. You could clearly hear the clackety clack of the cars on the rail. Such a tiny engine. You could really see how tiny it was when it rode pass the diesel engine. Great video!

[@JawTooth]

I agree with you. I like the small engines. They brought it here by truck. Thanks for watching !

[@tomwoliver]

Where do they keep the coal and water? Oh, and nice video!

[@devinpaul9026]

I wanna put that little dude on my shelf!

[@Flymochairman1]

That's a nice 0-6-0ST locomotive. We'd call it a 'Saddle Tank' locomotive over in the UK here. It's no tiddler of a saddle-tank locomotive either! The 10 years re-building it puts a new slant on a 'Ten Year Ticket of Fitness For Use' that Steam locomotives need to go through every ten years over here. The gents turned out a great restoration of the locomotive there. Very nicely restored Coaches too. Is the caboose a restored item? Thanks again Jaw Tooth. Well worth the watching. Keep Well there. Cheers!

[@noeyesmike]

why is the caboose in the wrong place??????? a very fine video

[@brianhickey5949]

Very nice steam engine. Might have always burned coal (it is a coal train engine :) ) Good power in a small package.

[@jesseahner8473]

The engine horn sounds like an elk call when first blown. Very nice video Jawtooth.

[@Daddymouse-ny9cz]

10:30 best shot of them all!

[@rickweissmann7101]

I've rode both that and dinner train. Very disappointing the aren't a round trip loop instead of down and back

[@douglasmacgregor3878]

That was great, thanks

[@cmdrflake]

That’s cool! The Gramlings have tons of sweat equity in their little engines. Woo!

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Awesome little steamer - beautifully restored. I have noticed the warning horn mounted on the coach on the backwards running moves Excellent capture LIKEd 286

[@michaelgarrity6090]

I love it that they are running a steam locomotive on the Lebanon line. I haven't got to see it run yet. I never paid attention that their caboose was an old DTI car. My paternal grandfather worked on the DTI working mostly their northern routes, coming out of Bellefontaine when that Logan County town was a big rail hub. You always get some great train shots.

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Great stills of the steam engine! Chessie is adorable.

[@jeremypreece870]

Great to see steam again. We have had the preserved lines (heritage) closed a lot over the past couple of years because of Covid. Ours in the UK, came back in the early Summer, glad to see that the US is also steaming again.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@RailPreserver2K]

I noticed some of the passenger cars are old Erie Lackawanna commuter cars from the 30s which weren't retired from that service until the 1984

[@chriswright8464]

Cool, another Great video!

[@alexaseltine1052]

Yes steam trains are the best and some need to make a return I know some say steam engines are old fashion but sometimes the past comes back and makes an amazing sight - overall amazing video jawtooth between this and one and your video on big boy 4041 id say your becoming a legend on here

[@brandongaines1731]

The internet doesn't like the sound of that release valve at the end there....

[@stephenrick6672]

STEAM RULES👍👍👍!

[@jmeyer4321]

Incredible how much pollution a very small coal burning steam engine pours out its stack- and no tender!

[@andrewmacintosh6240]

That soon cool . It's like like the old South Shore passenger cars in IN USA. Great video Kath Tooth love your work . Happy Fall season . Cheers your fan from Toronto Ontario Canada Andrew Macintosh .
