Leviathan Street Running

[@vheatherymae8174]

This is definitely a new take on trains coming through town!

[@drdewott9154]

Actually an old take. This used to be a common sight all over America until the 1950's. Heck even in New York city the trains ran through the streets and avenues!

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@kartracer5g229]

Interesting enough your train shares the same names as my son .. we have a old aloca Loco that street runs through my hometown of lewistown Pennsylvania it's very cool to see it coming down the middle of the street

[@jjxtwo1]

[@bethmiller961]

I know we all miss that rail line but special day we will see the monon 83A comin on down noblesville

[@warriorstar2517]

I’d love seeing Leviathan in New England some day.

[@MontanyeModels]

I'm 2yrs late on this, but back in September 2014, Leviathan ran on the Saratoga & North Creek line, in NY. I remember chasing it for video.

[@TheMNrailfan227]

My heart is melting 🥰😍🥴

[@K9Nick811GAMES]

Now that ITM’s out of Noblesville, we’ll never see this again.

[@Ih8kone]

What's their new address?

[@reltp]

3:42 the bridge of panay railways reference also my favorite locomotive

[@RailfanTubeNetwork]

AWESOME!!!

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

Nice!

[@Willysmb44]

Great video, such a shame the museum is toast now in this location....

[@user-yg6dk9eh8g]

We should dump oil,and go back to this!

[@Jemalacane0]

Electrification would be the best option. Second to that would be natural gas fueled combustion turbines. The third best option would be natural gas fueled spark-ignited piston engines.

Steam trains maybe old but fun

[@NortheastCorridorFilms]

We cant use steam forever dude...

[@deadchannel1680]

This was recorded in Noblesville Indiana right?

[@davechupp7922]

Down the middle of 8th Street

[@philliplee980]

very cool

[@nickroth9263]

Jupiter!

[@shopdog831]

With drivers on the road today this is quite the risk

[@elleryparsons5766]

I would Love to ride in the Cab of a 4-4-0.or riding in one of the Cars.

[@davidgriego549]

You don't really see steam engines much at all these day

[@jdrailfan5424]

Cool

[@penroymoonbeam7119]

Share the road

[@Ih8kone]

Where is Leviathan now? Is she still touring?

[@otakurailfan]

She's now at the Harrisburg, Lincoln & Lancaster railroad in Elizabethtown, PA, which is part of the Star Barn complex. They have about a mile of track, but they plans to have 3 miles. Leviathan no longer tours.

[@Ih8kone]

[@robertgift]

How fun! Why whistling for stop streets? No need.

[@HaddaClu]

Required by law to do that all crossings.

[@bushranger51]

Even the side streets would be considered a rail crossing, even though they have no lights or bells or boom gates, it is mandatory for the engineer to blow his whistle for every crossing. That's not just an American requirement, but a world-wide one.

[@robertgift]

@@bushranger51 No need for the whistle when running down a street where anyehicle crossing the street must yield to vehicular traffic on the street. Or should I be honking myehicle horn approaching every intersection where cross-traffic has a STOP or YIELD sign?

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

@@robertgift Whether you like it or not, they have to whistle. It’s the law. Additionally, many people in the US don’t really know what to do when they see a train, nor do they pay attention while driving. Imagine putting a train in the middle of the street, and people simply don’t know what to do. The whistle is more of a very loud “hey dipshits, I exist so pay attention” when street running than it is a warning. Train vs. car, train wins 99% of the time.

[@LNERMALLARD4468]

Does anyone else wonder where it is originally based? (modern day wise)

[@tobyradabaugh5033]

What dose this burn

[@reltp]

wood

[@JTTheRailfan]

what railroad is this

[@apurdue0]

It's a small railroad for the Indiana transportation museum I think it runs through Lafayette.

[@cheeze5875]

Old comment but this WAS the indiana transportation museum the tracks ran right though downtown Noblesville. The city recently shut them down in a convoluted legal battle and turn the sourthern half or the line into a bike trail. That included this section being only 1 or 2 street running lines left in the state

[@Ih8kone]

@@cheeze5875 Damn it!

[@robertgift]

If a grade crossing collision, driver will sue the railroad for unrecognizable whistle.

[@Ih8kone]

They won't win. They are fault for not paying attention to their surroundings.

[@robertgift]

@@Ih8kone Just being sued can be a fortune in legal defense co$ts.

[@robertgift]

@@Ih8kone In Castle Rock, Colorado, the railroad was sued after Missy's car was on the track and she did not get out. She had plenty of time to get out. The mee-mool lights begin operation at least 25 seconds before train arrival athe grade crossing. The traiheading northere is on a slight downgrade so it would take a little longer to stop. The railroad paid, I'm told, because it would co$t less than going to trial and winning.
