Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Steam Train

[@TheBestTrainsAreReal]

A shay in its true habit, not just stuck on a museum track in a city! Great video

[@nathancorcoran5347]

It is such a beautiful train ride in the southern of Yosemite National Park.

[@aswathyvinod7546]

This train and D&RGW 315 has the same whistle ♥️

[@Basinrails]

315 has a Rio Grande 5 Chime. #10 shown here has an SP 6 Chime.

[@goodolbrendo9240]

As an Australian, I saw this railway on a DVD called America by Rail. It was such an old video I didn't know if the railway was still there. After seeing this video, I'm glad that it's still running after it was filmed long ago.

[@michaelhubble]

I used to skip class and freeze my butt of to watch these Shays fire up and listen to them breathe. Short line for sure but it's a magical place.

that whistle is the most beautiful thing I have heard

[@wwrr98]

What whistle? Can't hardly hear it. They afraid to let her sing?

[@Basinrails]

Agreed. An SP 6 chime already sounds great. But I like it better when these notes of it are playing.

[@relcxq3932]

This was my favorite train of all

[@TrainMedia00]

7:28 The steam whistle of nostalgia 😢😢

[@jeffreycalderwood9893]

I love the old steam locomotives, I wish they would bring them all back into service

[@jessicaburdell7779]

Definitely would be better than this battery electric crap they're starting to advertise a few roads in turning to

[@spencerhughes2255]

I road this train in 2000. I have footage of myself riding it back then, but not from the outside. I was gonna film it in July 2015, when me and my family took a vacation to Yosemite Valley. Unfortunately I was too busy hiking... Nice video.

[@CoasterFan2105]

+spencerhughes2255 Thanks Spencer. If you ever want to know how to get to some of these spots, just let me know.

I watched this when I was younger 😢

[@DerekDtj]

First rode the YMSP RR in the fall of 1969. Couple that w/the many weekends camping at the Bridalveil Creek Campground, skiing at Badger Pass, hiking the John Muir Trail from Tuolumne Meadows, and many visits to Inspiration Point and Half Dome, and Yosemite has always been our al ltime favorite national park. Looks like wonderful maintenance efforts have prevailed on the RR it looks even prettier now than in one's memories!

[@VT29steamtrain]

Wow, so beautifully restored! Best bell I ever heard!

[@nathancorcoran5347]

That’s Right.

[@Clem73]

Whistle is even better, sounds like B&HR 2-4-4T #8’s 1997 whistle from Summer Steam Spectacular Vol. 2

Really cool man my great grandfather worked in Philadelphia and built Baldwin locomotive

[@pan1337]

3:51 I have no idea how this train works, I wish I had a 360 view to really look at it, it’s mesmerizing and a really beautiful engine

[@thundervallie]

it's a shay type locomotive, i believe you can find videos on how they work

[@sabliath9148]

Short version: the three pistons on the right side of locomotive drive the eccentrics on the driveshaft, which transferred the power to the wheels via beveled gears. The driveshaft is fitted with universal joints, making in flexible. The end result is that all the wheels of the locomotive are powered. The end result is a powerful engine capable of negotiating sharp curves and climbing steep grades, but the cost of being very slow and extremely rough on its parts.

[@Thomasboi01]

I love the Shays whistle echoing around the woods.

[@pashakdescilly7517]

I did not know of this type of locomotive before, and you gave me the clue to its name - so I could look it up. There is also the related Williamette.

[@TheShadowGuitarist16]

There's something about #10's whistle that's just so soothing to listen to.

[@Basinrails]

Six chimes are the best!

[@maddrummer910]

That train was from the west side lumber co back in Tuolumne when they shut down it lived again in Yosemite. Aweskme

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Beautiful video of the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. And there Shay engine.

[@Thomasboi01]

Those are some cool looking Shay locomotives. nice steam ride!

[@Basinrails]

Definitely have to get up there sometime soon.

[@jennsilk870]

I love the way it looks

[@sfbfriend]

Have ridden that Loco quite a few times, its an awesome ride through the mountains, very scenic and if you go during Spring there are, or were when we were there many wild flowers along the track.

Excellent video, thankfully there are people that keep these beautiful pieces of machinery going and well preserved. This is such a beautiful area too. If you get a chance read the history of the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Co., especially about the log flume, it's unbelievable what they did.

[@CoasterFan2105]

It is indeed. I have the book and have read through it a number of times. Quite fascinating.

[@sanmateodrifter]

I remember going to this place as a kid

[@EggMan99-r7h]

The sound of the shays whistle makes me feel like Im going back in time!

[@Bobcatonline]

What a lovely old locomotive. Obviously looked after with care. It was good to see a first hand glimpse of Yosemite Park. I've heard so much about it and all of it good. Many thanks to the pair of you for putting the video together.

[@Chris9017]

+Rob Catt The amazing thing is, the locomotive is almost completely original. 95% of the parts and components are original to the engine given that she was still fairly young when Yosemite Mountain bought her, and she was abused the least of all the Westside engines. She's had tubes, stays, wheels, and bearings replaced over time, but she's mainly only required routine maintenance during her operating career at Yosemite Mountain.

[@-C.S.R]

Halfway through the ride the train stops in the middle of the forest and let you out for a little bit to take some pictures. When I was a kid the family and I would let everybody get on the train and we would let them leave knowing that another train would come in an hour or so and we'd have the whole forest to ourselves to have lunch at a couple of picnic tables had put their.

I used to watch this video all the time and the steam locomotives just confused the heck out of me, but I really liked them. It wasn’t until I found out about how Shay class geared locomotives worked that I finally understood what those engines were. However, Stephenson valve gear still confuses me. Could someone please explain to me how it works? If so then thank you.

Hello Tom, I recommend watching this video for more info on U.S. geared steam locomotives: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zoiud6l-dp2WgZo

[@voidjavelin23]

geared steam engines are successful on logging and mine railways due to how they can negotiate tighter curves and rough terrains

[@rileysanesh5203]

These whistles kinda remind me of SP 6 Chimes

That's because it is !

[@jdgfilms9595]

what kind of whistle dose 10 have? I know its a 6 chime but what kind, SP?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Southern Pacific 6 chime off a 4-6-2, I believe number 2422.

[@GFGFHFF3992]

It's weird seeing the drive shaft on the locos.

[@armagonarmagon3980]

These locomotive's are Shay geared steam logging locomotive's. They use a drive shaft to transmit power to all wheels through bevel gears, with the added bonus of being more flexible than conventional rod-driven steam locomotives. Why Ephiram Shay chose this particular arrangement, we will probably never know, but the Shays were the most popular geared locomotive type, due to ease of maintenance and fantastic power output.

[@allenra530]

Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio, built the Shays for many years. A Shay is said to have been the last steam locomotive built by Lima in the early 1950's. Lima allowed big 3 truck Shays to be built under license on the west coast of the US for a time and they were known as Pacific Coast Shays. Operating Shays can be found at the Roaring Camp and Big Trees, the Georgetown Loop, Cass Scenic Railway, the Yosemite Mountain and Sugar Pine and several other places around the US.
