Its awesome to see the Amtrak come zooming by the steam locomotive. Amazing video!

Little doggo wanted to say hi to his train friend. :)

Awesome vid I have always wanted to see 90 and 475 double heading. So sad I couldn't see it for myself.

Only thing missing from these steam freight trains is a caboose. But close enough. Also, gotta love the doggo barking at and chasing #90 as she barks and howls by with her train, near the end of the video. 😆

Very very cool to see steam pull freight again this should be done all the time.love his guys a great vid. Thanks for showing.

That dog is certainly telling #90 how he feels....

it's great to see this kind of thing in the 2016/17 hope you had a good new year's

Damn...great video!! Added to my Favorites...

awesome train video

17:19 dog vs 90 who will win?

17:08 omg are you really gonna try to fight a locomotive doggie? seriously I think this is one where you gotta back down lol

Not sure why Number 90 needed help. There is a picture in one of the older souvenir books showing 90 literally dragging 4 of the dead display locomotives for the as yet un-built museum.

Look! 475 steam engine and 90 steam engine collect a freight train today.

Nice ex pc hopper around 14 min

I have a Norfolk and Western Railroad spike

Nice. Excuse my ignorance, but how come they use two engines to pull 9 cars? Saw the same in another vid you did and was expecting to see a hundred cars. ???

1. These are older engines so they have reduced max tonnage from many years ago. 2. These cars are 100 tons each or more, double that of standard cars in the 50's and 60's.

Each engine probably could have handled the freight alone, but the railroad needs these engines to be in perfect working order 7 days a week for passenger service. It's not worth pushing them to their limits and risking any strain on them. Also, the curve out of Groff's Grove limits the speed in which they can get into the grade heading towards Esbenshade road. So the added power helps to prevent any stalling.

The engines are just limited to how much tonnage they can pull up the grade, it has nothing to do with how old they are or anything, I've seen strasburg commenting on something before, dont remember if it was here on KZread or facebook. They said the most that #90, which is the most powerful engine they have, could haul 1950 tons uphill if I'm remembering right. That's why they often double head.

Is Strasburg the only railroad in the USA to still use steam in full revenue service?

Yep. There's plenty of short lines that use heritage power on freight but this is the only one to use steam

Sometimes the Black River and Western Railroad will use 60 but they haven't in a while.
