Steam In The Snow - Conway Scenic Railroad (HD)

( www.lerroproductions.com ) A photo charter was hosted by Lerro Productions at the Conway scenic railroad during the first days of 2009. I was fortunate enough to be able to make the trip up to New Hampshire and film this rarity; a steam-powered freight train in the snow! Much thanks goes out to Pete Lerro and his crew for making this a memorable and worthwhile event. The cold temperatures were brutal, dropping to around zero during the Night Photo Session with 40 mile an hour gusts. Despite the frigid conditions, a fruitfull weekend was had for all of the photographers/videographers on hand. Hope you enjoy the video.

Such a high quality video for so long ago! Jeez I wish the three chime was still on the locomotive.

[@Midland1072Productions]

steam + snow = damn good footage and time

[@stumpytrain]

I can't believe I've only just stumbled across this video - superb stuff. Thank you for sharing!

[@charlesdell2864]

I live about 50 miles from the Conway scenic railroad, been there numerous times, but have NEVER been lucky enough to see the steamer, let alone ride her.

[@shanemyoutubeshit]

Gary Plastek its coming back into service this year

[@hellsbellspapa]

If ever there was a "wish I were there" steam video, this is it or, at the very least, a candidate for first place. Cold out? Bundle up! Makes me wish we could go back to the days of steam, cabooses, etc. -- even if just on an "in some segments" basis. Thanks much for this treasure!

[@KLTrainz]

That would be me holding the lantern in 0 degree weather with the 30mph winds in my face lol

[@WimBroerse]

Steam isn't my thing, but I love this video. Very, very good. And beautiful pictures. My compliments to Joseph and Lerro Prod. If it was possible, I'd given 8 *. Now I "must" give only 5 * . :-( My compliments!

[@LS6Z28]

This remindes me of the 1952 postwar lionel set I run under my christmas tree that my dad gave me and I will never give up, it will be passed onto a 3rd generation. Mind you this set is now 58 years old and runs great where as toys I had in the 80's lasted less than a year.

[@LeonardFShanerJR]

Very nice video Joe, I feel this is your best yet. theres nothing better then a cold day in the snow with steam railroading , I love the cold and I love seeing steam in the snow. Keep up the good work, see you by the tracks in 2009. Len Journey Back In Time Productions

[@1unhwildcat]

It's always fun seeing 7470 return to her roots!

[@jjj11330]

Nothing short of awesome! Remember CSRR's 1st season back in the mid '70s. They have truly come a long way! Superb video. Really captures the beauty of a New Hampshire winter.

[@skeezix91]

The scenery there is absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of western Newfoundland and almost brings a tear to my eye to know the trains don't run there anymore. ;-(

[@WhyAyeMann]

@shininghappyperson7 Ya know, thats what I thought when I went to do this. "Oh its just a switcher, its great to see a steam train but still..." I thought to myself. This engine is very unique, it dosent feel like a little yard goat when your around it. i think this engine is great, and you really have to see it for yourself to truely aprreciate it (unless you already have)

[@PRR5406]

An 0-6-0 on the main is unorthodox, to say the least, but it's steam. Great selection of cars, too.

[@drfunk411]

Good hard runnin in the cold and snow. Nothin like it. Great video .

[@arrowguy173]

What a great looking train. Not a bad shot in the entire vid - nice job. Love that whistle.

[@goodeye03]

Nicely done...Rode behind it years ago....

[@TrainsForever09]

Great job on this one!!!! I grew up in NH and went to this railroad every chance I got!!!! They started my love of steam locomotives :)

[@brianfalzon6739]

Should get a whistle like that for Strasburg 89 or 31!

[@BRWFan]

The deeper whistle sounds like GTW 6325's!

[@PennRailVideos]

Neat stuff! The shot of the photographer is creative!

[@JonatanGronoset]

Very nice, I especially love the scene where it runs through teh rock cut and snow.

[@railroadjim]

Wow! What a fantastic production! Thanks for sharing that.

[@railfan101]

What a fantastic video Joe! I wished there were photo shoots with steam and snow here in California! Glenn.

[@indie1361]

looks like your a fellow steam fan! I like Amtrak and Ns, but Steam is my passion. 5 *****

[@nssteampunk4865]

Almost sounds like the McAvity 6 inch 3 chime off of Ohio Central #1551 or a Hancock Shortbell 6 inch 3 chime

[@brianfalzon6739]

And 152’s L&N 3 Chime

[@MainlineProductions1]

Beautiful shots! One of your best videos! Feel free to send them all.

[@shayfan]

Great video as usual Joe. And goodt job Lerro Productions on another great photo charter.

[@azdkerr]

An outstanding video! Thanks for sharing it.

[@williammerola7433]

A great Family Retreat or getaway from the ordinary experience the Great White Mountains , food experience's will Last a Lifetime for friend's & Families ...

[@2102FAN]

Man Joe, this is the best video to date.... Outstanding!! -Daulph

[@NellsStuff]

Very cool... and in STEREO! Love it!

[@AmtrakWPK]

I guess Ive been out of the loop for a while Joe. I can't believe I haven't seen this until just now! I love this. This is your best work yet. Keep it up and we need to catch up!

[@Gideon_the_Video_game_railfan]

5:40 Coilbook used this whistle for max the glow train and friends imagination fun lava video

[@sftello]

Joe - great job shooting and editing. Looks like Lerro did a nice job putting together run-bys. There are some new shots in there I have not seen before. MBRRE is sponsoring the Steam in the Snow passenger run this Saturday, Jan. 1 at CSRR. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@Bassfanatic94]

Man you have some of the coolest train videos I have ever seen. The quality is superb and the sounds are precise! Keep the videos coming! Your channel is one of the best!

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore; not like they did back in 1954!

[@BRWFan]

Awesoe video!

[@TNtrainboy15]

Awesome!!

[@soerenwizard]

Good video. That's a big 0-6-0.

[@sakcad]

thank you for that--it was great!

[@remi1910]

Gran video y presiosa maquina

[@merrimacksacoproductions4497]

Incredible shots all around, hope they do this again when she returns to steam! I have to ask, what was the location at 3:38? It looks amazing and I can't say I've seen it much before this!

[@railandmodel]

Many thanks for sharing :-)

[@nssteampunk4865]

4 dislikes came from CSX.

[@Anthony-ry8jh]

HA!

[@JaumeParras]

Good video.

[@josephwattstrsfan]

the 7470 pulls the vally train sometimes

[@WMfan69]

Amazing video. Does this train normally handle freight or was this a photo special? Either way your video is great. 5 stars and a fav!!

[@brianfalzon6739]

I wonder what happened to the B&M 3 Chime now?

[@williammerola7433]

Experience your first Train ride Today !!!

[@WhyAyeMann]

@shininghappyperson7 I know what you mean. Ever been to the Connecticut valley railroad in essex? The steam engine there is a 2-8-2 logging mikado, and when she limbs the grade at a good speed it sounds fantastic. Its more of an overall feeling than a sound.

[@Steam501]

You must need glasses. The 470 railroad club that owns those freight cars, have allowed them to fall into a state of rust, rot and decay. The State of Maine car is a perfect example. If you were able to view this equipment in better weather and lighting situation you would notice right away.

[@eliwilson97]

You can't beat Reading and Northern #425.

[@pik0]

Excellent cinematography! Do you work in the industry or is it a hobby?! Either way, awesomeness!!!

[@rogerlollar4325]

They should run 7470 more often

[@sftello]

@WhyAyeMann Checked the Mass Bay website and they said the run is still on for Saturday. CSRR will keep the tracks open. If they get a foot of snow, should be some great footage.

[@josephignudo7405]

Are you sure it was 7470? Alot of the steam train shots are filmed at Strasburg Railroad.

[@WhyAyeMann]

Question: Does the steam train pull the evening trains on teh conway? as for the video, what can I say that hasnt been already said. Well done!

[@KyleVideoDesigns]

Damn i wanna go here

[@Railfan705]

that`s better than 2 giant berkshires haulin a 20 car freight, It`s just the right size train for the unit.

[@GETOUTLTD]

how you get in the vabs of all these locomotives gets me extremely jealous!!!!!!!!!

[@cmdrflake]

They put on a nice show up there, don't they?

[@amtrak_121]

4:38 what whistle is that? A Nathan 6 chime?

[@fuscoproductions]

I’m actually not sure - I heard a number of things. It’s a 6-chime, I can tell you that much.

[@WhyAyeMann]

I hear its supposed to snow heavily up north. Will they still run it even if there is alot of snow? I mean, they probably have some sort of snowplow right?

[@Steam501]

And when I say better weather and lighting I mean up very close and from other angles as well.

[@raym1944]

Will they have any steam engines in operation for 2012?

[@TheGingerBuff]

Sure does.

[@WSOR10C]

Great great video. I appologise. i'm the idiot who walk into your shot in the blue jacket at about 1:33. Sorry. But great video!!! To bad i didn;t know it was you, i'd have liked to have met you.

[@unionpacific88]

Why does she have 2 whistles?

[@maineaviationvideos6759]

unionpacific88 because 7470 was a shunter in her early days, sometimes she would be used for regular freight trains. And therefore would need a stronger whistles as shunters could only have nothing more than a 3 chime

[@09JDCTrainMan]

Hmmm, your right.

[@WhyAyeMann]

@shininghappyperson7 agreed

[@Kayushi]

which one? its been a year, dude.

[@ubuibiok]

★★★★★

[@Strasburgfanatic]
