White Creek Railroad: Rail Operations

[@Running-with-skizers]

Erie pacific 2936 is probably one of the best sounding locomotives I’ve heard

[@whirlpool851]

Love the wife knitting away in the rear passenger car. That's love right there.

[@FB-tq5ln]

[@robertshufflebotham5192]

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

[@Therickrollkid]

[@SimonTog]

Very good video, nice place :)

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

A very nice video and a great railway system, with very nice locomotives and trains.

[@enzoeatstrainz8967]

Love that place, me and my friend always visit for his birthday.

[@mopacproductions6669]

You guys should come to the Wabash Frisco and Pacific Railway on members day next year. It is located in glenco Mo

[@TheSteamChannel]

I was actually going to message the railroad for permission to visit that day. Visiting has been on my radar for awhile now.

[@mopacproductions6669]

The Steam Channel you come out on members day I’ll be driving at least one of the trains. Prob 928

What switches are the people hitting as they ride past.

[@ericjonboone]

Those buttons are for the signal system. There is no automatic block detection, so those switches clear the block they are leaving and claim the next.

[@War1109]

Ok the fact that the Pacific has a working hell makes it 100 times better

[@southjerseyboy2844]

Nice

[@PRR5406]

The Erie Pacific is the cat's nuts!

[@anrails3220]

Why do the engineers hit the white pole thingys?

[@mistermadmachine6311]

😮the first engine we see in this vid are a pair of catapillar switchers

[@andrewnardo1021]

Do the boilers have to be certified and gone through after so many years like most other boilers do or are they not running high enough pressure? Just curious because I’m a welder in an ASME pressure vessel shop and stumbled on this.

[@TheSteamChannel]

It really varies by state. Some of these boilers are ASME certified. The boiler for the UP 844 that we are building will be. Some states exempt model boilers but usually each live steam club will require a hydro test be done every two years. If it fails the hydro test they won’t let you operate until the boiler is fixed.

[@PowerTrain611]

I absolutely adore those F units with the sound system. Any idea who the manufacturer of them is?

[@TheSteamChannel]

Bryson Grondin the F Unit and E Unit were made by Pike River Northern

[@PowerTrain611]

@@TheSteamChannel Thanks for the info. Time to do some research!

[@braedonsheffer7950]

Did you get any video of the H10 after it derailed? I was riding behind it when it happened, it was really heavy.

[@TheSteamChannel]

No, I towed it back to hidden valley after the derailment on Saturday with my switcher.

[@kepnerfilms6246]

I heard that he was going through a switch when it wasn't all the way switched so it derailed. He was going really fast through that signal.

[@rodolfomeneses9264]

How much does one of these wonders cost?

[@TheSteamChannel]

A pacific like the Erie would be north of $35,000+ if you had a shop do the fabrication

[@rodolfomeneses9264]

And what is the height of this scale?

[@MidwesternRailfan]

I would love to visit this place sometime, but I don't know where it is. Is it private or are you able to visit?

[@TheSteamChannel]

It’s a private railroad.

[@gunrunner7224]

Were any of the freight cars built with any sort of functionality or are they just for decoration and mock-up loads? (Like say reffers carry cold drinks for the crews hoppers fuel for the steam trains tankers gas/water so on so forth?)

[@MrRailroadrunner]

Most have seats if you take the roofs off. I know Brian used to haul coal in them too.

[@NOVARailandWeatherEnthusiast]

Is it me, or does the narrator sound a lot like Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions?
