N&W 475 BROKEN..... plus Strasburg Railroad Civil War Days

[@ryano.5149]

To quote (or at least paraphrase) the one employee at a museum near me - "From the time they roll out the door at the factory, steam locomotives are always trying to shake themselves apart." It's just the nature of these beasts.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Very true statement

[@eastcoastrailproductions]

With 475 down and 90 entered in her 1472 inspection, 89’s gonna have a busy season. Great video.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

For sure. Hopefully 475 will be a quick repair

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

@@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails 475 has a few broken staybolts and a few leaks, so 475 won’t be back for probably a couple of weeks or so. It’s gonna need repairs to get fixed.

[@DeborahMaidon]

Ummmm sounds like they need to bring back 611 but unfortunately she is also needing work done

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

@user-tp7bl6dt2c I can't imagine we will ever see 611 in strasburg again but hopefully it will return to the buckingham branch's Virginia Scenic Railway in 2025

[@DeborahMaidon]

@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails I was told that 611 wasn't gonna be running at Buckingham cuz she needed work done

[@regularguy7266]

Shouldn't be too long or hard of a fix, broken staybolts were a common incident back in the steam era, and Strasburg has the expertise in order to fix it. Great video dude!

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yep hopefully a quick fix! Thanks gor for watching!

[@GhostlywandererofAmericanrailr]

I'm very love Strasbourg RR. Beautiful place and wonderful Locomotives. Thank You very much Sir for this Great video.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@csxrailfanbronyzachbecker2105]

I wonder what will become of #7312.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Hard to say. I know it will steam again just a question of when

[@csxrailfanbronyzachbecker2105]

@@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

[@BNSFTrains10]

First 475 smashed a Excavator back in November of 2022 but now this.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yup 475 can't catch a break

[@Alek57]

Thank you for letting me know why 475 was not in operation 👍

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Your welcome. Glad I could figure it out myself

[@michaelcolucci5734]

That’s a good sign that 7312 is in the engine house for her return to operation

[@benh3518]

Not anytime soon, though, I was there in September when she was still in the backshop, they hadn't even started on her replacement tender and I also expect she still needs hydrostatic tests or whatever on her boiler.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yeah unfortunately with 90 in her 1472 day inspection and 475 needing repairs I'm sure 7312 in on the back burner

[@geoffreylittlefield2215]

4312 is so on the back burner it won't be seen in the foreseeable future.

[@robkrasinski6217]

Does that mean 89 is the only operable locomotive right now? How do they handle two train operation if only 1 steam locomotive is operational? Would they dare to use the black diesel switcher on one train?

[@benh3518]

@@robkrasinski6217 Dare? 8168 is Mavis during the Thomas days events, the only days they do two train ops, and is their daily freight workhorse otherwise.

[@modemdog3649]

Well at least this time with 475 it isn’t because 475 got her face caved tf in

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Agreed thank god for that

[@michaelbenitez539]

Jeez, at this rate, is 7312 ever coming back?

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Seems like it's definitely gonna be on the back burner especially with 90 and 475 down

[@up3982trainmaster_challenger]

I think you miss spoke at 2:50

[@Scag1573]

She is indeed a 4-8-0 in fact.

[@up3982trainmaster_challenger]

@@Scag1573 I know but I was just pointing it out

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

I definitely did. Good catch

[@kkid2441]

nice vid and 475 is 4-8-0 mastodon

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yep I mis spoke on the wheel arrangement. Thanks for watching!!
