Strasburg Railroad: Trains & Troops '08 (Part Two)

[@Engineer5344]

475's bell being hand rang. wow thats a rare treat

[@AuthenticCocoa]

It is

[@TravisDGordon]

I love that rope pull bell!!!

[@joneau261]

#7312 showing of its power indeed! And plenty of great footage to prove it. Great video Adam

[@PennRailVideos]

I can now say I HAVE seen it all!

[@PRR4000]

Neither, 475 used to have an air rocker back in the N&W days. There's a picture of her that shows she had one in the book "N&W: Giant of Steam". Not sure why she doesn't have one today, I know that'd be nicer than her air clapper.

tea nice part 2 edation of this railroads troop day with 475 and 7312

[@PennRailVideos]

@KZ1993 That's cause 90's was meant to do that. 475's air clapper messed up.

[@TheGingerBuff]

That might be the best looking Troop train I've seen so far, even with the 7312 on the point.

[@MikeManning1]

475's whistle at Cherry Hill is something else!

[@destroyergaming637]

Long live Strasburg #31/ CN #7312!

[@PennRailVideos]

@pennyf9 Nope. It's an air-clapper courtesy of the CN.

[@otakurailfan]

awesome, must go to this, can 7312's bell be hand rung?

[@PennRailVideos]

Even with?! 7312 made it perfect!

[@railfan101]

Heck ya! That's how a bell should be rung! Glenn.

[@PennRailVideos]

@Chase1609 It's a ballsy little engine!

[@PennRailVideos]

@TVRM610 That's only because the air clapper was messed up!

[@brianfalzon6739]

Wish 7312 was back someday.

[@KZ1993]

I watched her pull out and I was astounded that the fireman was pulling a string. I still like 90's bell better.

[@SouthernMaineFoamer]

I think the reason 90 never did troop trains was because it wasn’t built during or before ww1. Shame they stopped doing this event because it looks pretty fun, and it honors our troops very well.

[@PennRailVideos]

@FlatBlackXtreme Thanks!

[@PennRailVideos]

@Shahoofah Thanks Jeff!

[@PennRailVideos]

@Mattmp36 Thank you!

[@otakurailfan]

@CSX6000 oh, ok then. was 475's bell orginally hand rung or was it an air clapper?

[@AuthenticCocoa]

Yeah when it was in N&w 475’s bell was swinging but I guess strasburg decided to use a air clapper on 475’s bell

[@PennRailVideos]

@Engineer5344 You bet!

[@PennRailVideos]

@joneau261 Thanks!

[@paratroop24]

where are the troops?!

[@TheGingerBuff]

Well... historically a switcher wouldn't be pulling such a train.

[@PennRailVideos]

@paratroop24 They already went to war.

[@PennRailVideos]

@jimbo2317 Thanks!
