最高！ すばらしい映像と音！ ありがとうthank you from japan

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you, I sure did! I have an unfortunate habit of taking forever to post these videos. I still have a bunch of stuff I need to get around to editing/posting.

[@RailfanDude610]

At 23:26, I love how 18’s whistle sounded!

[@rainmusni50]

Love the Whistle of #18 at 23:17

[@greatyoshi16]

My favorite railroad at your videos is the rio grande science railroad.

[@Bobcatonline]

Superb video with just the right amount of commentary. Loved every minute of it. Now looking up similar video journeys through scenic America. I'll be stuck in front of my computer for hours if they're as good as this one. Many thanks for posting it.

[@nssteampunk4865]

The engine is a sister to our #33 that we used to own at Hocking Valley Scenic Railway.

[@JohnHorvath42]

Great show. Great edit. Great narrative. Great job. Paint job suggests this 2009 footage?

[@brucetharpe762]

LS&I No. 18. I think she might be sold again along with 20 or stay because I haven't seen any videos of 18 in years. So I think their steam program is done. Maybe 18 and 20 will be sold somewhere else? I would like to know the status of 18 though. EDIT: 18 is now at Colebrookdale and 20 went to Allen Texas

[@521wurlitzer]

Your videography work is excellent. Many commercial railroad videos are ruined by too much use of the zoom lens. Yor videos are certainly above the standards of many of the professional vendors. I own a ton of rail videos and I should know. Thank you again. Keep up the great work.

[@greatyoshi16]

[@davidarturojaimes691]

That locomotive was originaly from the Denver and Rio Grande RR?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Originally from the Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad in Michigan. The Rio Grande Scenic Railroad just chose to letter it for "Rio Grande".

[@davidarturojaimes691]

CoasterFan2105 Ah. There's today an standard gauge engine originaly from the Rio Grande R.R. operating in a tourist railroad? P.D. In Mexico, we refer to the Rio Grande as "Rio Bravo".

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

whats the current status for 1744 and 20??

[@CoasterFan2105]

Nicholas Medovich 20 most likely will not be rebuilt. Still just sitting there. 1744 is still in pieces and nobody knows for certain when/if it will run again.

[@zuhrealagoz9785]

CoasterFan2105 3

[@evanf1293]

At least both engines were bought in 2020 and 1744 is gonna run again

[@brianfalzon6739]

What kind of whistle is that on 18?

[@nssteampunk4865]

The whistle on #18 is either a Texas and Pacific, Western Pacific or a Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Hancock 6 inch 3-chime whistle since these railroads used this whistle.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Sounds more like a PRR 3 Chime to me!

[@nssteampunk4865]

brian falzon PRR used Altoona and Ashton valve. This whistle has a nasal sound compared to Crosby or the other three chime whistles I mentioned.

[@nssteampunk4865]

brian falzon Same tone though.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Exactly the same indeed!

[@timhutzler9441]

The above link apparently has been hijacked. :(

[@evanf1293]

Shame this tourist line has closed after going Chapter 11 bankrupt in 2019 after 14 years of running and 7 years of steam operations and that 18 is on sale now. Hopefully someone will buy 18 in the future for operation or for display since SP 1744 & LS&I 20 were bought in 2020 so here's hope someone will buy 18 eventually. Plus my guess is the tourist line might now be sold to either a freight line, abandoned or torn up. Not sure what will happen to the line but only time will tell.

[@kevp9601]

[@DayWithDarleneGay]

18 is cool engine

[@LePenguin]

What happened to this engine?

[@CoasterFan2105]

It is currently stored in Alamosa, Colorado.

[@LePenguin]

So, do they have plans to restore it or are they just going to keep it in storage?

[@CoasterFan2105]

It sounds like for now, no plans to get it operational again.

[@evanf1293]
