Hello historian I see we had a disagreement in the ending of mha what's your discord

1st. You iterated that, the L & N ceased operations, in 1982?? There's a song by Johnny Cash, from his 1982 album; 'Silver'. It's the very first track, and it's titled; 'The L& N Doesn't Run Here Anymore'. One of the best songs, on the album😁!!

I wish the comments were not cut out on the original RJ Corman documentary

excellent history video :)

Southern Railway, not Southern Railroad. (Though Railway is British, Railroad is American jargon). The distinction harks back to the many bankruptcies that occured over the years, with reorganized RRs emerging with different corporate names simply by changing from XX Railroad to XX Railway, so they didn't have to repaint any equipment. Southern's reporting marks have long been SOU, not SRR.

The various PS-class Pacifics were standard designs dictated by the United States Railway Administration (USRA), created to operate all US RRs during WW1. These successful, standardized designs simplified manufacturing and were used in many configurations built by various builders long after WWI ended.

You're so effin annoying, I clicked off within 2 minutes.

Excellent. I got to run a couple of steam locomotives during my railroad career and they are fun to operate. I have the MTH Rail King version of this locomotive, but it is #1396. I'm not sure why they didn't use 1401. A very good video.

The Ps4 is remarkably similar to the Southern Pacific's P-8.

W. Graham Claytor, not Clayton.

Southern ran the train from DC to Lynchburg. N&W to Bristol.

Could you get a grip on your volume? I adjust my volume to where I can hear the first part, then your volume goes sky high, a little while later, your volume drops to where I can barely hear it, then back up again. When I have the volume adjusted to where it's not blasting my neighbors out of their house, I can't hear the lower volume well enough to understand it. Maybe if you were to review your video (means to watch it like everyone else will), before posting it, you'd catch the problems with the volume and the segments that are so badly washed out (means not enough contrast to see what's going on) that the viewer cannot tell what is going on.

I've always been a big fan of the Southern Railway

Little mistake. The N&W actually hauled the Tennessean from Lynchburg, VA to Bristol, VA/TN.

GENERAL MOTORS ITSELF PROBABLY SCREWED OVER EMD UN INTENTIONALLY! EMDS BIG PROBLEM WAS FUEL MILAGE WITH THE TWO STROKE ENGINES! AN SD 45 WITH THE 20 - 645 ENGINE MAKING 3600 HORSEPOWER BURNS 180 GALLONS OF FUEL AN HOUR! EMD WAS TOO PROTECTIVE OF THE 2 STROKE, AND GOING TO ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION AND 710 CUBIC INCH PER CYLINDER DID NOT GAIN SUBSTANTIAL BETTER MILEAGE! AT THIS TIME GENERAL MOTORS WAS WANTING TO SHED ITSELF OF NON AUTOMOTIVE DIVISIONS, AND CUT FUNDING FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS! AT THIS TIME THE CHINESE WANTED TO DIESELIZE AND PURCHASED 424 6 AXLE FREIGHT ENGINES, AND GE ROLLED THE PROFIT TO FUND THE EB WELDED CYLINDER ASSEMBLIES AND THE DASH -8 ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEM, WHICH VASTLY INPROVED HORSE POWER AND RELIABILITY! EMD FINALLY TRIED TO PERFECT THE 4 STROKE DIESEL, SOLD 90 TO UNION PACIFIC, AND AFTER 3 YEARS ALL WERE OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO LACK OF ENGINEERING AN RELIABLE POWER PLANT! IN AN VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME EMD FELL TO A VERY SHAKY 2 ND PLACE BUILDER! IRONICALLY EMD FELL INTO CATERPILLAR OWNERSHIP, AND CATERPILLAR WAS AT ONE TIME EMDS GREATEST-FEAR! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍

Not Graham Clayton but Graham Claytor. I once worked - well, twice - at The Great Train Store outside Atlanta when a young mother came to my cash register and paid for her child’s toy with a check on the account of Graham Claytor. “Your husband looks a little young and, uh, alive to be the former president of the Southern Railway,” I told her. “Oh, he’s a nephew. They are all named that,” she replied with a laugh. Speaking of Roosevelt, during my student days at Georgia State University I worked nights at Patterson’s Springhill Funeral Home. Patterson’s was called to the Little White House to embalm Pres. Roosevelt. In the “private office which was really a museum, were pages from old Atlanta Journal and Constitution newspapers. On those pages about Roosevelt’s death I saw photos of younger versions of several of the men I was working with 1969-1971.

Great vidio, on the loco, nice to hear the history, got many Lionel 4 6 2 's on my Yard layout. Thanks for the morning coffee...

Now before someone say it, Southern 1401 Can Not be restored. The way the Smithsonian was built was after the locomotive was place inside . If they try to remove that wall the main supports would fall in causing major damage to the building itself. Lastly there's not enough room inside to take this thing apart and that's the only way that I could see to remove this engine. Thanks for the post and your time.

Don’t forget about the two non-Southern Ps-4s; Atlanta & West Point/Western Railroad of Alabama P-74 pacifics 190 and 290. A&WP 290 is even preserved in Duluth, Georgia, at the Southeastern Railway Museum. She’s currently undergoing some major repairs.

One was donated to the Smithsonian, 1401 I beleive

Keep the videos coming

Good job 👍

Hello this is an awesome video could I post this on my channel? I will give you video credit!

Dude, you are using a single example where the people implementing it designed it to fail, you are some "historian", cherry picking the past to prove you bullshit is not history, it's propaganda.

Nice lie. You must be a conservative. Lying comes to conservatives as swimming comes to fish. I'm not a poorly educated conservative idiot. The Failure of Britain's Railway "Privatization" Liar! "It is no surprise to the daily English commuter that British Railway has always fallen short of providing adequate services to it’s customers. Dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, with high ticket fares and poor timing schedules. Rail user satisfaction at 10-year low. To avoid bankruptcy, the state provides subsidies and security bonds to prevent job losses - albeit bonds incur debt that will have to be paid off - and there has been a conscious effort on successive governments in terms of pushing up ticket fares, so that the burden of taxation does not fall entirely on the taxpayer".

Roll by inspection

CSX 549 your train looks good, you have FRED on the rear.

nationalization is bad...for capitalism, and capitalists. the socio-economy that has brought us slavery for profit, highly destructive and deadly war, inequality, poverty, environmental degradation, and a host of other ills, all of which it requires to keep its grip on our minds, culture and pocket books. (ps. please learn how to use the camera you have, and note that editing software is readily available)

Nationalization isn't a good idea at all, there would be a much more likelihood of additional corruption; and look at how well Amtrak is doing after how many years. Just my opinion. Good video.

🌷 *promo sm*

PSR sucks and it is not worth arguing.

Born raised on twin Souther. R R between Atlanta and Chamblee ga..

The fact that you just won’t tell us what it is, makes you the failure

No audible warning or warning lights

Live 50 ft from R×R road crossing..here before comming..( always herd sound like tornado...true..erie sound.) If not sounding horn...not good..😳

The quality of that zoom is insane

If the lights are not working, the train needs to stop and the conductor must use a red flag and protect the xing before the train is allowed over and the hoghead, (engineer) didn't whistle the xing either. 2 rule violation that I know of.

The radiator cap was loose

Fuel cap leaking

Lights facing wrong direction

No horn or working lights

I’ve had two train hoping trips coast to coast. Portland to Portland rode up in the engine room 1/2 the trip, and Atlanta to LA on to Portland . Can’t do that no more, that was 48 years ago.

The lights on the side of the tracks were not working.

I just LOVE Trains going ANY DAY AND NIGHT!

That was my thought too. But I couldn’t see the actual crossing.🤷🏻‍♂️
