@@RailroadStreet dumb question. Does that rolling ingot design have any real advantages .. Besides less wind resistance.. I bet it'd do favorable in a wind tunnel test ...and I'd think maybe it's more durable... and it's flat sides more easily armored perhaps for millitary usage .. because maybe tomorrow's engine should resemble that one ?

That's cool it's like reuniting orphan siblings back together after many years apart Nice!

I just drove 58 on Sunday. Very fun little engine

Such styling. Possibly one of those iconic engines by sheer design

Fwiw, I worked at Homestead Works. It featured two gauges, standard size and narrow gauge. The narrow gauge was used in the Structural mill and the Open Hearth #4 area. Standard gauge was used in the structural mill and everywhere else. The 160" mill slab yard dinky is on display in the Waterfront. A narrow gauge ingot car is on display at the south end of the Homestead Grays Bridge.

The Hot Metal Bridge that these engines travelled over Mon pulling torpedo cars is still in use. We were told that if one of the torpedo cars full of molten steel were to fall into the river, the resulting explosion would have been unbelievably devastating.

Indeed; 1 Liter of glowing stuff (or molten steel) would expand to 1700 Liters of steam - in no time !

What a great explanation of how locomotives work! Been a train buff all my life and didn't know all that.

Rick: “I had no money…. bought some of the side rods…” well, that escalated quickly! 😅 Now he’s got nearly six engine’s worth! That’s what I call dedication. Rock,mI have been enjoying steam videos for a decade, but that has got to be the most easygoing, concise and light explanation of all the main aspects of a steam engine! I can see why people come to learn from you about the history and engineering of steelmaking! Thank you for the work that you do!

Ran #58 yesterday. Totally awesome experience. My father-in-law worked at the J&L steel mill where #58 lived, so special significance for me. The crew was a great gang of guys who were eager for us to have a positive experience, very patient with us, and happy to teach us their skills. They had fun watching us have fun. It was a very special day. Highly recommend it. Thanks, Rick!

Very clear explanation of how a steam engine works. Thanks.

So underrated! Great interesting video!

Thank you for a very informative video about a very interesting Loco. Got to say, Rick Rowlands' explanation and tour of his Loco is one of the most comprehensive and clear I have come across. Count me impressed!

Very interesting I didn't know there's so much to know about running a steam engine

Thanks for making the video!

These are really cool locos thank you for saving them.

I always loved the trip to the museum of science and industry in Chicago. So this made my night!

Wonderful video! I love when historical machines are renovated and returned to an operational condition...beautiful!👍

That is the best explanation of the controls I've ever heard! Thank you! I especially liked the comment about economy versus power.

Literally the coolest little steam loco i've seen! And its not too far from home!

Good little piece on Porter steel mill steal locomotives! A good “explainer”.

Rick Rowlands It's just amazing what you and your group have accomplished over there. Keep up the great work.

Cool - never saw this before! Thanks!

A very interesting and informative piece. The narrator was excellent. Thanks for sharing.

I like how it looks. I also like how eager it gets rolling. Useful feature for a shunter, of course.

Hi there what a fantastic video and locomotive

Awesome video.

Amazing

Lovely video...

Nice video , ive heard abt this engine plenty of times and didnt knew its history , also the music of the video's intro is used in my youtube series!

The Rolling Ingot locomotives run on 1ft 11in Gauge track. Cool.

Excellent video! Great shots and a really good interview with Rick, who is becoming a living legend. I particularly loved seeing the points change; haven’t seen that on anyone else’s video. Or such a good interview with Rick. Great work; thank you!

Bethlehem's plant at Lackawana NY had narrow gage tracks everywhere, like Jones & Laughlin.

These narrow gauge railways always have me wondering why they just don't topple off, as they seem to be riding on a knife's edge in comparison to how much steel it up top

When we were running the 2102 in Pennsylvania I seen these engines sitting on the side track, so if and when you get a steam locomotive you know how it runs and what all of the components are.

Will the track be extended to a destination in the future ❓ Could be made into quite a tourist attraction with those little engines We have a narrow gauge railway near Melbourne called Puffing Billy which is very well patronised 🇦🇺🇦🇺

If 7 were built and 6 still existed it's probably fair to say they scrapped one for spare parts. Greetings from Germany!!

J&L Pittsburgh Southside works employed around 9,000 people. It was closed in the 1980's and all the jobs were outsourced to other countries, The Southside Works is complete gone, replaced by retail, office, entertainment, residential and riverfront parks. At this point, a visitor to Pittsburgh would have no idea it was at one time one of the most important manufacturing cities in the world.

ive been following them since they first got 58

What happened to the other locomotive are they scrap destroyed or anything else

Fantastic ! I really learned a lot, your explanation of how the steam engine worked answered all the questions that i had. Like how the smoke stack chugged faster when the pistons speeded up as the used exhaust steam was expelled up and pulled the smoke out with it. I thought this was a waste of residual steam that might have some recycle value? Couldn’t the smoke exhaust be pulled out with about 1/3 of the amount of steam?

It'll be great when AI will be able to make videos of these working in their original foundry locations

its like something out of the admech in 40k, you're preserving this lost technology

Very interesting how this is a tank engine with a tender.

This is a very interesting little engine. I don’t think there’s anything like it anywhere. It weighs the same as a 100-passenger airliner at max weight but it’s the size of a Ford Transit. Is the tender an original accessory, or did you build that to make it more convenient to keep her running on your railway?

"technically CSX bought the property, with my wages" . . . I'm very confused by that statement/sentiment.

Can you burn coke insteed of coal and if you can would it be cleaner than cole and would it help in keeping the smoke down as well as helping to extend the life of the boiler tubs

Certainly not the best looking loco in the world or cute but very interesting . I wouldn't mind owning it.
