That's not brakes that's the wheel flanges rubbing on the rails that train was west bound up hill east bound is down hill
Clearly, this was a great engineering marvel in its day and more amazing that it still is in use today. Thanks for posting.
I can remember seeing the 1361 on display in the early 80's. I always enjoyed spending time there
Fantastic job 👍🏻😎
Excellent history. Thanks for making this video -- I learned a lot!
Great job on the video!! I railfan the former B&O now the B&P RR

The grade gets steeper after the curve and reaches the summit around the tunnels.
