Ive Never seen a Steam Locomotive do that, EVER.... until now

I've loved steam locomotives since I saw the first one up close in 1957 when I was three years old and the memory is still in my head. I'm even happier to see many brought back to life and up and running. The best one so far is the Union Pacific 'Big Boy' #4014. Thank you Joe Fusco for posting this.

11:25 NPR 765 now has the 1218 hooter whistle

I never like or comment on any videos, but this one was amazing. Hands down the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

I think my favorite part of the video was definitely when 765 had the N&W hooter, excellent work

611 will always be my favorite but those Berkshires have a great sound when running at speed.

As always, the Fusco does not disappoint. Superb video, you got it all.

Excellent video. Sights and sounds not heard to often today.

Interesting fact 765 and 425 met twice first time back in the 80s and then again in 2015 which was around the time 425 got a new blue paint scheme which I like a lot

@fuscoproductions

4 жыл бұрын

Another fun fact - 425's paint job was expedited so that it could make its debut for when 765 came to visit. In fact, the paint job is unfinished here, although it is hard to tell. The wheels still have the old "chalky blue" faded paint on them, while the rest of the engine is done up in the new darker blue.

9:10 to 9:24 is that c&o 2716's whistle, it sounds like it when c&o 2716 was running in the 1990s

I honestly don't think there is a better video on the internet of a steam locomotive with the bell above the smokebox than this one. This video proves that steam locomotives with bells above the smokebox are scientifically more efficient and more aerodynamic.

@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos

4 жыл бұрын

I would agree. SP&S 700 (4-8-4) has it's bell above the smokebox, but SP 4449 (4-8-4) has it's bell below the smokebox. I think both locomotives have capabilities of tremendous power and great speed. I've ridden a doubleheader with SP&S 700 and SP 4449 in 2005 (yes, there was an Amtrak P42DC in the consist), and I can easily say that both SP&S 700 and SP 4449 can keep a passenger train consist of at least 17 cars moving at a steady 70 MPH+! If only SP&S 700 and SP 4449 could pull a mainline excursion again! I hate how railroads like Amtrak, BNSF Railway, Union Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and even regional/shortline railroads like Genesee and Wyoming's Portland and Western Railroad (PNWR) here in Oregon have all mostly turned against steam excursions, private cars, and special trains. It's a great money-maker, and great for the marketing/PR value for any host railroads. I'm hoping that UP will send either UP 4014 and/or UP 844 out here to the Pacific Northwest (Northern California, Oregon, and Washington), for a tour next year in 2021. I'd especially love to see UP Big Boy 4014 in person!

Awesome shots

Gotta love hearing 1218's ghost rise again and scream out through the hollers once again.

Wow. This video is astounding. It’s crazy how NS goes from this to only ferry moves.

7:13

5:57 is the best part

Unfortunate that there few (if any) shots of the entire train, even the rare times when there was no diesel helper to cloud the performance of the steam engine alone. Otherwise, there were a number of very nice vantage points in some of the shots!

It’s unfortunate but many officials of the railroad don’t want to let it run without a Diesel engine in tow. I don’t think it’s really a helper so much as a helper I’d she were to break down as to not have the train blocking the mainline in the event that a breakdown happens, believe me a lot of people wish it weren’t there (and that includes me) but it’s just there for safety and convenience.

12:45 Why does the 755 sound like the NF&W Class A? I’m just curious, because I haven’t seen a video of 765 with it before, and I wasn’t expecting to hear my favorite whistle 😅

I was on the Lehigh Gorge excursion, and my friend Mike Huhn was in the 765's tool car shooting from his iPhone. So that means you can actually see me at 17:50 shooting the 765's train as it passes as well. There's also a 30-mile-per-hour high-five that was captured between engine crews. It was a memorable moment, to say the least.

Because it does! 765 wore several whistles over the course of these trips - sometimes two at once. The main whistle is the Nathan 6 chime, but other whistles featured include a PRR 3 chime and a N&W single-note hooter.

Hey Ron, I believe you’ve commented about this before. Have you watched the whole video? The first couple of shots didn’t feature a lot of camera movement but plenty of other shots did.

If these photographers are so professional do they not know how to pan their camera toward the wheels of the steam engine when it goes by who cares about how many cars are behind it then most of times the train goes by and the camera still filming 30 to 40 seconds later people want to see the steam engine not the stupid cars it's pulling pan your camera or are you guys that lazy to do that

@fuscoproductions

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ron, I appreciate the feedback. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the video. I did pan the camera with the locomotive in several shots, but not all. It's an artistic choice. For the opening shot under the signal bridge, I couldn't imagine doing it any different. I think a pan shot there would have been disorienting. However, I do wish I would have done a "complete 180 degree" pan at Duncannon Station. I was trying to keep the station in frame and in retrospect I think it may have turned out better if I simply followed the engine. However, I did pan the camera in many instances of this video if you watched the whole thing. Enjoy these pan shots at 3:33, 10:30, and 14:33. Not to mention several other shots where I follow the locomotive for close to a mile (the Rockville Bridge and Horseshoe curve). Cheers. Also - if you enjoy pan shots - I think you'll like one of my most recent videos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKSo19GgqpvQlqw.html

I’ve seen you comment this same criticism three times. If you don’t like the video, why do you keep watching? It seems like you must really like the video if you care enough to keep coming back to watch and comment. Additionally, pretty much every shot besides the opening shot has panning of the wheels, so you can always skip the opening shot to watch a great video with some great pans!
