Very impressive and enjoyable footage of steam power operations of the B&O, C&O and N&W railroads, it's always great to see footage of the steam era and especially the large articulated power used by these railroads.

It's awesome to see rare footage containing original audio of the C&O Alleghenies' hooter whistles, which demonstrates how some of them had short-bell hooters while others had long-bell ones. Fun fact: The long-bell hooters were made by Nathan and were the same hooters used on the B&O EM-1s and some of the T-3 4-8-2s, also in the video.

You are correct. Some of the T3 Mountains on the B&O had Nathan single chime whistles just like the EM-1's did. The C&O Allegheny type had the same Nathan whistles but half of them had the small high pitched hooter whistles

Very interesting. I have a deep-seated passion for trains and railroads that stems back to my childhood, and while I may be a millennial who spends most of his time in front of a computer, I would gladly give that up if it meant I could see some of these steam locomotives in action.

I wonder if the original tape is still available and could be run through a TBC to clean up the defects? Time Base Corrector adjusts each video line to begin at the same place on the left, thus cleaning up the noise. In any case, its good that people are preserving this historical footage and sharing it, thanks.

Love the video. Also the game show music from the 70's.

The n&w made it look like a locomotive from the 1800’s for the diamond jubilee of Roanoke, Va. The next month it pulled the excursion

Yep. Thanks for telling me this.

Is it me or did this Y6B at 30:24 and the Class A at 32:20 had different whistles instead of a usual hooter?
