Just Another Day in Paradise (and Strasburg)

[@RAILTECHCHASER]

Very rare and an amazing sight to see three active steam locomotives running in one day.

[@jamesbond9873]

The part of the train going through the corn field is beautiful!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you! Reminds me that I need to get back out there and get some more unique angles...

[@Coasters_cut]

i want to see 89

[@Thomas__Blue]

This is some of the best shots I’ve seen of the railroad! Great camera work!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you very much!

[@JeremyvonKuster]

Great video, you are my son's favorite channel... we watch you everyday!

[@maxm2317]

I'm glad they kept that white smokebox front. It really brings out the old "Great Western" look for old Number 90.

[@joneau261]

Excellent video, Jim

[@RailfanDude610]

I like 90s whistle at a low tone cause it sounds really pretty.

[@altt98]

[@CSXEMDTrainLover]

nice video big Jim and great catch of the steam train in Strasbourg.

[@Bigjimvideo]

[@CSXEMDTrainLover]

Your welcome.

[@jacobwoods8738]

Great Video, I love the 90, miss the whitewall tires with that smokebox. The whistle on the 89 I believe is a PRR 3 Chime, I like the CN 5 chime more.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you!

[@jonathanamason2551]

It's actually probably a PRR banshee whistle.

[@jacobwoods8738]

Definitely a PRR Banshee judging from the shape and sound, I don't know what I was thinking when I said PRR 3 chime, I know 89 has worn a Banshee before.

[@Bigjimvideo]

It's always nice to see 89 out and about.

[@PennRailVideos]

Great video!

[@avasic1995]

great shots

[@bloodofthetyrant]

one of them has the reallllly nice whistle or used to i dont remember havenet been there in awhile. yeah its 90. i rode that train 2 years back.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you very much! I hope you both continue to watch!

[@WRS71287]

Nice cameo by 475 at 8:29 - and love the non-hooter whistle. Hope it stays ...

[@Bigjimvideo]

Yes, there are some days where they run #475, some days where they run #90, some #89, some when they run two - it all depends on maintenance schedules, and how busy they are. If it's during an "off-peak" time, they may just run #89 and 5 or 6 cars - it all depends on the time of the year, really.

[@mercury7590]

Good to see 475 and 8618 out. I don't see them much.

[@Bigjimvideo]

+Nicholas Jurczak Had you been out there this past year? 475 and 89 were the only two operating steamers there in 2016 - so if you went during a busy period, you were practically guaranteed to see 475 at least. :)

[@linkjoe806]

Nice to see #89 again.

[@maxm2317]

The whistle on old #89 is the Pennsylvania Railroad Single Chime Banshee Whistle.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

7:52 It's not everyday where a steam engine passes by a blazing Amtrak......kinda like an old-meets-modern thing! Pretty neat actually!

[@Bigjimvideo]

I enjoy seeing it each time it happens too - because it's one of those extremely rare moments!

[@JennisGacha]

SFAPowerhouse

[@Bigjimvideo]

Indeed! It's a good look. I wish they kept the white-walled tires. But hey, I still like the silver.

[@Bigjimvideo]

It's a beautifully haunting whistle...

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks a lot!

[@maxm2317]

Amen, Jim. Amen.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Indeed, very rare! Thanks!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks!

[@winter6127]

Nice vid👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you!!

[@Bigjimvideo]

It's a good look!!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you very much!

[@Stussmeister]

A very nice video. I've been to Strasburg numerous times, and always enjoy riding the train. I am curious, though, as to whether you drew inspiration for this video's title from a certain Phil Collins song...

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you, sir!

[@Strasburgfanatic]

DID I HEAR THE THREE CHIME ON 475 :D I've been waiting for that whistle to come out of the woodwork. I wanna catch 475 wearing it soo much!

[@altt98]

Actually 475 is wearing a 3 chime this year..

[@Bigjimvideo]

It's always been my favorite!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Just finished her 90+ day inspection, from what I heard, and just did a quick test run up and back in the yard.

[@MrSonicthehedgehog31]

Was Norfolk And Western 475 Wearing The PRR 3 Chime Whistle

[@royvirtsjr.4560]

I Like it When Engine 90 is Running at Strasburg

[@Bigjimvideo]

+Roy Virts,Jr. I do too!

[@linkjoe806]

I've been there twice in a row and #475 has been doing the trains. My first time included #90. Not that there's anything wrong with #475, but I'd like to see #90 again.

[@CJsTrains]

Might want to read your description over again especially in the beginning

[@trainfann1]

Nice Video, Jim! Do you know why #475 was out though?

[@Bigjimvideo]

Definitely cool!!

[@fretdemon123]

What whistle is 89 wearing?

[@jennifertaylor3014]

a PRR banshee whistle

[@linkjoe806]

Yeah, to be out of the shops and move around after a long sitting session in the shops.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Yup!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Sounds like it...and yeah, she was moving...

[@LehighValleyrailfan]

Great video! Do you know what whistle #89 was wearing?

[@fretdemon123]

i havent seen 90 in a while last time i saw her i was 4, im now 10. 475 has been runnig alot,is he the most popular or something. 90&475 are actully friends of mine too.

[@OdaConnProductions]

I thought Lerro was gonna change the paint back to the normal scheme? No? Either way, COOL!

[@Bigjimvideo]

We'll see, won't we?

[@linkjoe806]

When I went to Strasburg, they used #475. Does Strasburg alternate engines?

[@Bigjimvideo]

Do you "Like" Strasburg's Facebook page? If so, they'll sometimes post there which engine is running (or you can ask, they're really good about generally letting you know).

[@Trainman0425]

is 89 wearing a PRR Banshee?

[@MikeManning1]

What happened with the whistle for #89 the old one was so much more awesome. But, my favorite engine #90 just got 2 times more awesome!

[@mrshea924]

+Mike Manning I agree

[@OdaConnProductions]

Most def! Btw, What is the whistle on #89? It sounds too English! haha

[@Bigjimvideo]

Me too!

[@Rebel9668]

I tried to go to Paradise once, but Mr. Peabody's coal train had hauled it away...so I went to Central City instead :P

[@Rebel9668]

Reylee Nulud Got the postcard, lol.

[@Bigjimvideo]

What's wrong with the description?

[@Bigjimvideo]

Who isn't? ;)

[@Bigjimvideo]

Soon then!!

[@mikado1555]

She is wearing the PRR banshee whistle.

[@maxm2317]

Yup.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Actually, I was going more for Phil Vassar (country artist/writer) when I thought of that. :)

[@Bigjimvideo]

And if you read the whole sentence, you'll see how I bring it to 2013 ;)

[@Norfolk7130]

cool

[@ccccc1531]

I am a foamer

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks a lot!!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks!
