Steam Into the Night: A Collection of Twilight Scenes
Like us on Facebook! pages/Blue-C...
Often times, after the sun goes down and the air becomes still, one might be able to hear the sounds of a train off in the distant, making its way through the darkness to its destination, wherever it might be. Many railroad photographers, such as the great O. Winston Link, spent their nights under the stars with cameras and flashes along the tracksides, watching and listening for their subjects to appear out of the darkness. Taking a bit of inspiration from OWL, I decided to spend some of my nights trackside as well. With that in mind, I compiled a collection of my personal favorite nighttime scenes of steam locomotives from the past three years into this video. From the quiet rural countrysides to the ever-busy commuter platforms, steam locomotives storm through the night on their way to their destinations, wherever they might be. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!

9:00 to 9:32 had some serious polar express vibes. Absolutely amazing!!
Fantastic. Steam is truly majestic at night; you captured it perfectly.
This is why I love steam locomotives, they will look majestic at any time of day
The tone of the bells beginning to ring in the darkness at 6:30, then ending the segment of the fast moving freight, is just awesome!
Beautiful! Those engines look so cool in the night.
That glow from the firebox starting at 4:39 is purely magical!!! Fucking AMAZING!
My two year old absolutely loves this and requests "night train" all the time.
7:58 that has to be my favorite shot! Steam and snow at night! Just seeing heavyweight passenger cars pull into a station at night always looked cool to me! I amanged to see Union Pacifc 844 pull into Kansas City Union Station at night back in 2016! I have a video of it on my channel, but the camera I had didn't take good video at night.
425 looks stunning in this! The blue is amazing, but the way it looks at night, making it looking black is just breathtaking.
Awesome stuff. I saw that your Christmas video with the 425 got mentioned on the Reading & Northern's winter news magazine. Nice job!
I may be Australian but it's still nice to see steam take over.
Night and sunset scenery will always be my favorite. There's something about the lights that shine brightly into the night, especially since I was born in NYC, and the colors of the sunset is undebatedly beautiful, trains match these the best. Check out the 1980's commercial for the Amtrak California Zephyr, that's a fine example
My favorite, Pere Marquette no.1225. Became an inspiration to the animated version of her in 2004's The Polar Express.

I find it kinda funny that of all steam engines, RBMN 425 seems to have taken title of the loudest, although it is very loud, you can barely hear the whistle over it

Dixie Farmboy A worthy successor from the Frisco 1522, in my opinion
It's really incredible seeing a steam train traveling through the night at speed. Dang, it must have been an incredible sight to see the S1 or T1 plowing down the tracks at their top running speed at night.
My favorite trains are the Polar Express 1225, Nickel Plate 765 and the Norfolk and Western 611. Thanks for sharing these great moments. 🚂🚄🚞🚅🚟🚉🚈🚋🚊🚃
Absolutely awesome!! A rare treat to see these things at night!
Awesome video! As opposed to during the day, I always think it's magical hearing and seeing steam engines at night.
Add steam in the twilight to events like night baseball games and NASCAR night races, that is when NASCAR was still worth watching.
I believe everyone is gonna be disturbed in their sleep by these engines rumbling past their houses in the middle of the night
Steam is king!
I'm happy that #60 made it!
Very nice
Nothing is more beautiful than a passenger train or any train traveling at night
This is beautiful and amazing. There's just something about steam locomotives at night that just gets your imagination running and blood pumping through your veins. Great work!
This is awesome. I’m going to cast this to my big screen and see it again. My wife and I (and our 4 yr old son) went on a steam line in NM years ago and we all loved it - charcoal bits and all!
The sounds of the high-speed pass at 3:44. Absolutely brilliant!
It’s been awhile since I’ve been into Trains but I miss stuff like this!
Marvelous! Just like OWL's pictures of N&W steam at night.
Steam is in the air tonight. Fantastic work.
Fabulous vid.....and thanks to all the tens of thousands of RR steam enthusiasts that made the taking of such a vid possible by restoring these locos and cars. Without your efforts, the world would be a much poorer place.
Beautiful,so cool,wish I were there,thanks,Geoff,UK
Why am i just now seeing this? SUBSCRIBED! 😃
The intro scene of 611 was amazing, I caught that literally right behind you!
Absolutely stunning! Some of my favorite videos of steam engines I've taken and seen are at dusk or night.
WOW! Absolutely AWESOME VIDEO! Of nighttime steam locomotives!
One of the most enjoyable videos I've watched in a long time. Thank you.
Awesome video all around. Even though I've seen some of these clips in your other videos, I was happy to watch them again with shots of similar mood. The CNJ shots at Minersville are still some of my favorite, the lighting is perfect!
Amazing video of some of the finest steamers out there
This may be one of the best train videos I’ve ever seen.
Just beautiful.
Really nice shots, made my day! Thank you!
See how the night sky glows, See the light from the night train, The fire glow from the night train. On down the line he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! On down the line he blows.
Hats off to you! The video is Spectacular!
Nice work. Big fan of OWL.
That was a really great watch!
Fantastic
What I really noticed here is the audio qaultiy is incredible
WOW, very well done!
For the Carland Elevator scenes they should have added some sort of fake date like April 12, 1957 or something like that. Sense that scene basically came straight out of the 1950’s.

EARTH ANGEL 😇 AWESOMELY GRAND, ROMANTIC AND NOSTALGIC!!!!!!👍😱😳😍❤️🚂👍
Such beauty, and such elegance. You just earned yourself a sub.
I'm going to share this on my Facebook train group
The first train, 24 cars including 1 or 2 diesels. I’ve never seen anything so long.
This is a very unique and different video! Very, very nice!
I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! :-D
I love it when 765 whistle at high speed
Awesome video
Well done!!!!!!
Y did my last 3 brain cells think this was scenes from the twilight zone The only thing I’ve seen from the twilight zone is the tidal zone from sponge bob
Never knew Metra pushed steam trains with their MP36PH-3C engines. Nice job. 👍

765 did all the work when it led, the MP36 was only there to pull the train back to Joliet
Wow
#425 shootin' sparks from the stack seen around 6:55! She was gettin' it!
Looks at title: "Twilight scenes? Hell no, that was a shitty movie." Looks again. Looks at thumbnail. "Oh sweet, nvm. I can't read lol" Beautiful footage!
If you sat through this whole video, you’ll know your a true rail fan!
These very nice trains when at night :) very nice video :)
10:58 is a amazing shot!
14:09 absolutely perfect
3:05 I got Hurricane Express vibes from this. Probably the whistle and the train moving at that speed.
0:28 When i combine all my Lego coaches to make the train as long as possible:
8:30 これは良いジングルベル サンタさんが圧倒的な科学力を携えて 襲来したかのような 素晴らしい景色です
Its very hard to tell what train it is unless you reconize the whistle from it but this is very cool nice work!
4:52 Why does the whistle sound like it's from a Japanese engine?

Watching this now, wow, what a fantastic sight to behold lineside, both in sight and sound! Thanks for this! (P.S. What camera did you use for this?)
The Nickel Plate Road #765 is back!
That horn
they did a good job of filing N&W #611
Was really worried on clicking this would be a different Twilight
Just wait until PRR 5550 is complete
It’s kind of intimidating
9:50 and 10:55 god damn, that engine rocks like a drunk driver
Wow engine 40 sounds and looks almost identical to engine 90 at Strasburg
Lovely. Out of curiosity, where were you located at 2:30? It seems like such a cool vantage point.

Something about the 1225 at night. Also please tell me you got that as a picture too, I’ll buy a copy.
My favourite steam train is Gordon
3:11
How Many coaches that train pull?
If you haven’t already, could you put together a tips and tricks to your filming videos? It’s not necessary, but it’d be helpful to some of us.
I'm so mad, I had no idea the 611 was coming through high point nc, else I'd have been there.

It went through there somewhat frequently over the years. Most ferry moves between Spencer and Roanoke went through High Point.

Absolutely grand diesels have nothing on steam locomotives
Cop: "So, exactly how did you end up on the track while the signals were red and the bell was ringing to indicate there was a train coming?" Driver: "I didn't know there was a train coming. Besides, otherwise they keep you waiting at a closed crossing for 20 minutes before that stupid train finally comes through. Local: "I live 20 miles away from the track, yet I could hear that thing screaming already when it was just coming through the neighboring town, which is ten miles from here. How the f*ck did you not know there was a train coming, haulin' balls down the line?!"
Sims like screaming whistle nkp 765 3:12
Turn up the vlume to 11.
Nice job that was great
