I will be visiting this place during a you tube meet and greet May 20-22. You really do a great job on this video showing the loco's and a brief history of each. I really look forward to seeing this place in person.

If I ever get a chance to go to Pennsylvania, I’ll try to take a visit here.

Most of those outdoor locomotives need a cosmetic restoration

I live in Pittsburgh and have been to the museum many times over the years..nice road trip spend the night near Lancaster..ride the train across the street..and enjoy..highly recommend

Would love to see them all come back to life.... shame nobody's got a GG1 back up and running yet

@TomedysTrains

Me too! I believe the reason why none of the GG1s are operational at this time is because their transformer cooling fluid is deemed illegal these days. So in theory, they could run again, but their parts on the inside would have to be replaced with more modern parts, which might change the character of the motor sounds of it.

I remember seeing Amtrak 603 and 915 on the northeast corridor between washington dc and philadelphia. There's an old photo of 603 in philadelphia 30th street station in 1982.

I think I’ve been there I remember being in a conrail loco

I went there when I was younger and I wanna go back Edit: AYO IM GOING BACK NEXT WEEKEND

Great video! I was there on the same day. I checked out the museum before we did the reunion of steam photo op with the N&W 611.

Thank you! What day did you go to the museum? I was there on both October 19th and 20th of 2019 as mentioned in this video. It sure was awesome to see Norfolk & Western #611 on the Strasburg line when I was there in 2019!

@@davidbliss3220 It was such a great opportunity to see two Norfolk & Western steam locomotives running at once for sure! The 382 you say? I think you mean the 475, it was numbered as 475 that day. I saw that locomotive on October 20, 2019 as well and it was numbered 475.

Wow

That electric loco was made for the Black Mesa & Lake Powell. Was tried on the NE corridor on passenger service but had a rough ride at high speeds

I'm sure you're referring to the Amtrak GE E60 #603, which is seen in this video. That locomotive was built for Amtrak in 1976 and served only that railroad until it was retired in 2003. The Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad had a variant class of the E60 electric locomotives, but not the same sub class of locomotive #603 is.

At 2:30 I could understand why the PRR 7002 might have achieved a world speed record. I work on that same stretch of railroad. Between Crestline and Colsan (Bucyrus, Ohio) it is very straight and flat.

I heard some rumors of them trying to build a roundhouse, is there any update on that

I agree. Fortunately, I remember reading that at the beginning of the year the museum was granted money to build a roundhouse in order to have the outdoor collection placed indoors.

I heard that there is going to be a locomotive that will beet LNER 4468 Mallards record. It's PRR T1 5550. The locomotive that is under Construction. It's being built by the T1 trust.

@TomedysTrains

4 жыл бұрын

It's sad that not one of the original T1s were preserved because that would've been an awesome display locomotive at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania or an awesome mainline excursion steam locomotive. Nice that a new T1 is being built, I definitely heard about it, but I doubt that any railroad would allow them to beat Mallard's record on any route because it's probably too much of a liability to today's standards to do such a thing like that.

TomedysTrains I don’t know if the 5550 will be able to go fast as Mallard because you said that the actual T1 isn’t faster than Mallard. And I don’t know if the S1 is faster then Mallard despite the wheel slips that it had.
