Raw Southern 630 cabride

[@38fordpickup1]

My father's earliest memory of riding a train was being in the cab of the engine sitting with the engineer from Aragon to Braswell GA before he was school age, no more than 5 years old. (he was born in 1919, so early 20's). His father handed him up to an engine crew he knew at Aragon, engine crew handed him down to his grandmother at Braswell. Return trip done the same way.

I rode in the 630s cab from East Chattanooga to Grand Junction back in the mid 80s before her rebuild.Great experience to see a steam locomotive in action and experience what it was like in steams finest hour

[@danbytp]

My wife and I have been married for 5 years and she has gotten to love trains as much as I do.Doesn't get any better than that.That's right,I'm gonna keep her as long as she wants to keep chugging with me.

[@LandNfan]

Tim Danby, mine has been tolerant and supportive if not necessarily enthusiastic for over 44 years now, so that is all I ask. I reckon I'll hang on to her as long as she'll have me.

[@danbytp]

Impressive. If I am ever up in Chattanooga again I may have to do this. I almost did it one time but I rode in the coaches instead. Great video.

[@jonnybeck6723]

That's one helluva garbage disposal... plus great cab ride complete with a cutie pie! Thanx and cheers

[@michaelkay9275]

Close or cover your eyes in tunnels, Oregon rail mountains ,my Dad took use too ride the train ,coal fired, love it....

[@rhettrobinson1361]

I liked it when the engineer said "Wanna blow it" at 5:23. I did that at railcamp at TVRM but that time I blew it twice which means go forward

[@willharless5638]

Me too this is my dads acc

[@rickharris3108]

Why has the fire man put his foot on the back of the fire box

[@supersniperuk]

Love the help on Yankee trains

[@derail14]

I notice the brake valves are from a diesel locomotive look like 26rl to me.

[@jacobwoods8738]

derail14 indeed. All upgraded in the steam programme days and again in 21st century since the previous ones were not original or modern

[@erikk77]

Is her shoe going to melt when she places it against the boiler?

[@paulw.woodring7304]

At the end of the clip It looked like the engineer put the automatic air brake valve in "handle off" to cut out that brake valve, like he was going to change ends or turn control of the train over to a locomotive on the other end. Did I see that correctly? I was a class I engineer, so I've done that myself a few times. I didn't hear the air dump, so I'm pretty sure he didn't put it in emergency.

[@USMC_BABE38]

Nothing like coal smoke in the morning"😁

[@DonCormack]

What is the depth of the firebox at the base of the fire door? Seems pretty shallow or John is bank firing the 630.

[@JaiahHazelnutBrown]

I bank fire that engine.

[@CraterFilms]

Was this to barber junction?

[@robkrasinski6217]

No, probably on TVRM. They (TVRM) stopped running on NS after 2015 and 630 after 2014. NS used 4501 in 2015 for a few weekends along with 765 and 611.

[@acquanellaogbemudia9930]

Awesome Kudos to the Engineers also !

[@websitesthatneedanem]

How are the firebox doors controlled?

[@trainboy1926]

Martin there is a little bottom you hit on the floor

[@trainboy1926]

Martin I have rode in this cab

[@websitesthatneedanem]

Ah! Thanks.

[@nagorncaraba4310]

Is the Open ONLY mecanic or a kind of hidráulic / steam?

[@kiwitrainguy]

Trainboy192 - "Martin there is a little bottom you hit on the floor" - I think you mean button or foot treadle. Unless the "little bottom" you're referring to is the one on the young woman. Nagorn Carabá - There is a pad on the floor that when it is pushed down on with the foot, the doors open with compressed air.

[@emdmanSpaziani]

Girl sitting on the left should have work boots on, but still a good video plus it looks like the brakes have been updated to a 26L, nice modification.

[@kiwitrainguy]

I hope that boiler backhead was well insulated. It could've melted her shoe. "What's that smell of burning rubber?"

[@franciscoleonardo151]

This reminds me I fired this locomotive on the old ET&WNC before the you know what came

[@sonnydean3187]

Aside from tossing trash into the firebox, this video clearly shows the intense labor of the fireman on a steam locomotive. Very interesting.

[@flyaround5953]

Sonny Dean I know for the 611 they nicknamed the firebox the incinerator for all of the trash that they have when they are on a run.

[@charlieharper886]

The guys at Cass do it too. Pop cans, ketchup packs, etc. Lol.

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

What about taking shits on the shovel?

[@duke14616]

What do you think the pizza box is for.

[@timmybentz7802]

wow she good for a engineer for blowing the wiscle

[@johnt7232]

Lass sitting in the fireman's seat tut tut

[@华囯民]

喜爱蒸汽机车的人都是有情怀的人！愿你们快乐！

[@logancovington6171]

That is about as simple as a control layout can get when it come to steam.

[@Throttlejockey94]

Logan Covington you're funny

[@duanespooner6649]

When you don't have stoker or oil burner controls the fireman's side is pretty clean.

[@masonhoven8588]

I was gunna say the same thing

[@cple1]

630 has a dynamo. There are more valves than we can see because of the header layout. Shut offs for two injectors, Dynamo, Air pump, and auxiliary.

[@cple1]

Greg Thomas it also doesn't appear to have a hydro static lubricator either. The injectors are outside of the cab. So that's plumbing you also don't see. Our narrow gauge engines are as about as simple as you can get.

[@melperry3576]

they let any female's ride in the cab?

[@danbytp]

Mel Perry Yeah,no shit Sherlock! Woman have been since at least the 1930's.And a few hundred in the early 1940's.

[@nathanfischer4213]

+Tim Danby I'm done 6th

[@elieselane2433]

---> Mel Perry...........problem? or envy? ......... (btw: plural does not need apostrophe: basic English grammar).......

[@jpltvchannel]

😀

[@codywolfe9359]

I wanna marry her.

[@everettnichols9062]

as sure as you do, she'll turn into a 350 pound sweat-hog!!!

[@65sgboogieman8]

Nah she's a skinny one, probably be like that when she's old too

[@TheBandana1969]

She may be married, she may not want to marry you or could be a Lesbian😀

[@epilepsjaworld6535]

like in Ty-246:)

Click-bait thumbnail, dislike.

[@radioactivedragon7143]

How is it clickbait?

[@kiwitrainguy]

radioactive dragon - he saw the young woman and thought that "cabride" meant something else. Not sure what though.
