This DVD is SOO worth it! I specifically bought it for the Cincinnatian footage and it didn’t disappoint!

Does this boat use coal?

Thank you Danny Harmon for narrating the Articulates. I also enjoy your Distant Signal Channel.

Is that Perry Como?

Kevin Michael Richardson: Mallet or "Articulated" locomotives came in two varieties. "Simple Articulated," meant that boiler supplied steam to two sets of equal sized cylinders. "Compound Articulateds" had larger sized cylinders in the front and small ones in back. The compound design to allowed hot steam straight from the boiler to power the regular sized rear cylinders. The steam expelled from these would then be sent to the largest front cylinders. Their extra size compensated for the reduced pressure of the second hand steam they utilize. Recycling the system had its benefits, but other drawbacks to the compound cylinder system the limited the locomotives' success. But simple articulateds like the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenys. And 4-8-8-4 Big Boys enjoyed productive careers hauling millions of tons of freight for up to 20 years. The 4-6-6-4 Challenger type engine number 3985 is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world. It was reccomissioned and restored in 1981. And while number 3985 is currently being rebuilt. It's toured the country as a public relations ambassador, pulling excursion specials and occasionally working freight trains. Challengers were designed in the 30s as dual service locomotives to pull both passenger and freight trains. Over an 11 year period, 252 were built. The first of them and greatest number went to the Union Pacific, who reportedly named them after the challenging assignments they faced in Utah's wasatch mountains.

Does this film only have the one clip of the S2? Or is there more?

The European mind can’t comprehend having engines so large and then not immediately rearranging the tracks it goes over

I actually have a possible date because my grandma used to ride on the Pennsy, it was ether 1948, or 1947 when my grandma was young

RIP PRR. BTW nice footage

At least it is pure luck that we still have one T1 still running

Rip B&O em-1 7600 and 7609

It’s a pity that most steam locomotives in the video are scrapped

Wow I've never seen so much footage of running NYC locomotives.

Cool seeing the servicing going on without the first safety vest or hardhat. 👍

This Is Great Watching The N&W Pochontas Glory Series Vol. 7 & 8 With Athintic N&W Sound With 4-8-0 Mastodon Virgina Creeper #382 & #429 😊😊😊 🚂🚂🚂

This Is Great Watching Nickel Plate #759 & The Last N&W Pocahontas😊😊😊 &🚂🚂🚂

My grandfather, Art White from San Jose, was an engineer on the Southern Pacific. Greetings from New Hampshire!!

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲

I thank God almighty for the Union Pacific and their steam heritage program. Because of them we got to see a couple of these big articulated beasts like the Challenger and now Big Boy 4014 in action in modern times and the present.

Fantastic video! It was my delight to take two trips on the Queen (and to play the calliope once). I’ve lost touch with her status over the years and need to find out what’s going on. Until then, watching this vid made me happy!

That time was the beginning of the end of the steam locomotives. From there, they still continued producing steam locomotives up until either the 1940s/early 1950s, & it wasn't until the 1960s when nearly all steam locomotives phased out & replaced by more diesel ones.

The live sound recordings and scenes are precious and I would recommend this DVD to anyone who loves SP steam. Only thing I can say about it in a negative way are how drawn out some of the chase scenes can feel. If you're into that though, this is for you.

I came here for the AC-9

the world's biggest steam locomotive is the Pennsylvania Railroad S1 not the Big Boy

0:08 That definitely isn't authentic audio

Very impressive and enjoyable classic footage of the Reading rr operations during the transition era period, these were the final years of steam operations and it's great to see that these moments were recorded on film. The Reading rr t1 class 4-8-4 Northerns and the G class Pacifics were impressive examples of steam power to view in service as shown in these film recordings.

Rode behind many of these on CN passenger trains. Nice scenery. Too bad the horn doesn’t sound as good as what I recall on those CN trains.

Those Were Locamotives ❤ It 😊

It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost 30 years since this happened and that of all the equipment shown here only the then Newly acquired 1835 the 12070 the. Used as the ticket caboose in the siding in this video and the N&W caboose on the rear of the train are still i service the rest of the cars were either sold off or retired and stored in the dead line in Willow

Love those 5700s

As much as these diesels are very fascinating, I wish there was more steam action in Florida.

I get a big laugh out of the way these guys think hard-bitten railroaders would have been concerned about a proper Belgian pronunciation of "mallet." 😆 Even then, they don't. 🤣

What whistle is that 2:59

Nice video

Can I use some of these pictures?

Something needs some extra lube!

I really like the B&O wagontop caboose!

Danny Harmon...out! I am from Louisville. Saw the General in Strawberry Yard in the mid 60's. My elementary school went to the L&N station for a field trip. We used to go to the museum when it was down by the river. Good times!

Awesome to see how the territory I run over looked back in the day. Especially that 765, got to pilot it from Bellevue to Cleveland a few years back, many dreams fulfilled that day to say the least.

I wish there was more footage of the pennsy 6-8-6 and 6-4-4-6 duplex

Thank you for uploading this, I videoed her in 2000 and 2001 in Mount Dora but never saw her in Parrish.

is that danny healthman ?

It's worth noting that #4 is owned by the Reader Railroad, not the D&R. The Reader Railroad leased #4 to the D&R the year before for an excursion, hence the D&R lettering.

Cool 😎

Great Shots and Ready for Streamline Steamers.

Cool 😊

You guys make great videos. I have the Articulates on DVD.

Is that a Wootten firebox on many of those locomotives?

These are my favorite American locomotives
