Steamtown NHS - Baldwin 26
On June 26th, 2016, Penn Rail Videos made a visit to Scranton to see the recently-restored 0-6-0 #26 at the Steamtown National Historic Site. This engine was built in 1929 and used as the shop switcher at the Baldwin Locomotive Works plant in Eddystone, PA. The engine is painted in its as-built olive green paint and silver trim. With a color scheme like this, 26 matches very closely with the CNJ cars on the "Nay Aug Limited". We'll catch the train as it traverses the Steamtown yard, and passes by the former Delaware Lackawanna & Western Station in Scranton, now a hotel.

I love this engine she's such a pretty loco.
Nice! I'm really looking forward to seeing 26 in action myself when I come out here for Railfest. I loved the shot of the train passing the hotel/old station building.

When you go to Scranton for railfest,check out some of the history of the town like the coal mine,the Raddison hotel,and some local hobby shops.Also,when you are there,eat at Coney Island Lunch.
I've been there I like in Avoca Scranton PA it's so cool there
nice new intro guy i love steam engines
A tripleheader with 7312, 26 and 113 would be thoughtful to see.
A nice train.
The train Looks very nice
What nice railroad I was lucky to go on the longest ride they offer
I have been to SteamTown hundreds of times and yet I have never been able to photograph, film, or ride #26. :(

This steam locomotive is special to a particular rail service, only held once a month by Steamtown.
Awesome video, man! Great coverage of a unique engine. Really cool to have a "new" steam engine operating. Sweet stuff as always!!

So they got the Baldwin switcher running again, what happened to the wo Canadian engines and the #759 Berk?

Both Canadian engines are out of commission for work and rebuilding sadly. It is unknown when they are supposed to return to operational service.
Its sad that there are only a few of these types of little engines left. There is one in Heber Valley Railroad Utah, NO 300, that just recently went under restoration. It has been in the Heber Valley Railroad for a while and has rusted a lot. So just last year in 2017 someone said if they won't fix it you gotta do it yourself, and he is fixing it himself. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y41-rsd9cc6Wkdo.html

How is the engine "chuffing" without moving? Or is it waaaay out of sync?

It is either an air compressor - least likely since the engine is not using air for anything. or the water injector - pumping water into the boiler under pressure. The engine is chuffing because the exhaust sice of the pump is directed up the stack to provide induced draft for the fire.

+Kyle Dean more modern engines used air brakes versus steam being they are more dependable. even before that they had vacuum brakes.

The air pump is working,and the brake pipe and the blast nozzle are connected,making it louder.Most engine's air pumps are muffled,but obviously #26 isn't.
Good looking Loco, but that whistle is horrible. What whistle is it
I'm posting a video of this locomotive and more on my channel!
That's all very nice but why waste time viewing empty tracks after the train goes by. Why not show the running gear of the engine. Rail cars are of little interest after one viewing. It is the locomotive that is the center of attention.
Why would you choose that whistle?

It needed to be cleaned,and it sounds industrial and awesome when it's cleaned.
Get someone to voice that whistle. You need to adjust the base plate that forms the windway for the steam to come out and hit the upper lip of the whistle. Go find an organ builder - they know what's wrong with it.
Not too fond of the whistle... At 1:30, it sounds like a cow with whooping cough.

You wouldn't know there's a steam engine running in Scranton with the way that guy is blowing the whistle. Why bother??

You should've heard it in 2017,they put a lower whistle on,and now the same whistle is back and all cleaned up and sounds great.And,the engineer wasn't even opening it all the way...
Cute little engine, but that whistle sounds awful!
Intro is terrible
