Sierra Railroad #28 Motherlode Cannonball 1978
This is an analog cassette recording of the
Sierra Railroad's Mother Lode Cannonball.
Headed by Sierra #28, from Jamestown to Fassler.
Pulling 3 heavyweight passenger cars, and 2 open gondolas.
Recorded by myself in 1978, age 9 years old.
The eastbound (uphill) portion is almost entirely in real time,
starting just below Campo Seco Rd. Crossing.
The downhill portion has been compressed
to mostly grade crossings, since it's mostly coasting.
Where possible, I have identified the grade crossings,
according to memory, and google maps.
Of course there were fewer grade crossings in 1978
than there are at this time, since there were no
shopping centers yet built on the hwy 108 corridor.

Shay day Photographers special on the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Rail Road.
มุมมอง 36K6 ปีที่แล้ว
In October of 2018, the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Rail Road sponsored a special double header with both surviving West Side Lumber Co. Shays, #10 and #15. First a round trip behind the #15, then again behind the #10 with photo runby's, then double heading back up the hill. #10 and #15 both worked together on the West Side Lumber Co, out of Tuolumne CA until the railroads closing in 1960. # 1...
Sierra Railway Shay #2 special charter to Sonora. January 2001
มุมมอง 39K11 ปีที่แล้ว
The Sierra Nevada Logging Museum chartered Shay #2 and 4 coaches to run from The Junctions in Sonora, down to Jamestown and back. I followed the #2 and her consist from Jamestown up to Sonora, then rode the train with everyone else. Train was sold out, and had 4 completely full cars! It was certainly a risk to try this in January, but luckily it was a beautiful day. The #2 developed some sort o...
Sierra Railway #3 runs special to Sonora first time in 20 years!

Sierra Railway #3 runs light up to the former Sonora depot location. There she coupled onto the Holiday train, and was on display for 3 hours. This was a special event, held as a thank you to the community for rallying to help save Railtown 1897 when it was threatened with closure earlier this year. This was the first trip to Sonora the #3 has made since 1992, when it ran special with the #28.

Sierra Railway shay #2 running extra trains on July 3rd sharing the tracks with #3
มุมมอง 3.2K14 ปีที่แล้ว
Sierra Railway shay #2 running extra trains on July 3rd 2010. I figured since #3 was getting all the limelight, may as well give the 2 spot a little love. I like they way they ran the engine at the tail running down hill to save time with no runaround needed, like they did when the #2 ran up to Sonora and back for a special charter in 2005. (I have some video of that as well I may post)
Sierra Railway #3 returns to service July 3, 2010

Short excerpt of Sierra Railway #3 on her first revenue run after being completely rebuilt, July 3, 2010. Sierra fans will notice her whistle was not quite right, either getting too much or too little steam when wide open, sound like it was drowning. Sorry about the copyright, I just don't want anyone using my footage without permission.
Very nicely done! Those have to be the coolest looking passenger cars I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
1:15-1:29-1:30-2:16 train whistle
Number 10 and Number 15 look so cute together as friends. Right?
If love Shay's & Geared Loco's, if you ever get out East, visit the Cass Scenic Railway in West Virginia as they have about 5-6 operational ones including a 3-Truck Climax and a 3-Truck Heisler and Western Maryland #6, the heaviest Shay ever built. I think there is a place in Pennsylvania that also has 1 operational shay but the name of it slips my mind.
What could be better than a Shay, but two! Absolutely beautiful! God bless Rudy!🙏♥️👍

She deserves to be able to run that line period! Start a commuter service. Railtown would get more funds for restoration and upkeep.

That gearing type is super odd looking not a normal one you imagine seeing the yime
"Yime"?
More whistle than engine sound... ...but a great machine!
Wow, the valve timing is really screwed up.
I'm pretty sure it literally isn't running on all three cylinders... Really makes me cringe only hearing four chuffs per revolution.
Its hard to believe that was made on 2012
I was honored to be a part of this excursion. Just an amazing day on the rails. The first (and looks like ONLY) time I have been east of Jamestown on the main.
Epic

I think you mean Sierra 3. The locomotive featured in 1957 show Casey Jones
Is a Disneyworid railroad
no its the Sierra Railway
Im so glade that Whistle is gone for ever !
I love the Shays whistle battle at the beginning . Nice Shays loco's!
Let’s please don’t say anything like that.
Huh? I don't understand.
@@Thomasboi01 let’s say like that the Shay’s are whistling with each other.
That's sounds better! I love it!
@@Thomasboi01 you could edit your comment.
What a great train ride! And that train whistle was extraordinarily Fabulous!. Thanks so much for the video. Big big fun that trip, to be sure!
MY FAVORITE LOCOMOTIVE OF ALL TIME
Me too 😀😀
Why is the train going backwards?
To get back where it started out from.
I'd love for this to be a route on Train Simulator 2020.
This route in real life is just a two mile route one way only.
@@JosueRodriguez-kk6wn:Ya, but I can't make anything...
@@SeanJAnimations I've been there in person it was somewhat disappointing, could have been longer. Or just ride the moonlight special in the summer.
@@JosueRodriguez-kk6wn Yeah, I've been there too, I like it.
@@SeanJAnimations the original Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Company had about 140miles of track throughout the Sierra National Forest, in fact if you drive on HWY 41 you are actually on the original ROW that the MSPC once ran on.

Wonder when this shay last ran???
She has been out of service since about 2012-2013, not sure of exact date.The engine needs major repairs, and may be repaired in the future, but when is anyone's guess. It will take some major fund raising to get it done.
@@bpeachee Yeah, I mean who knows what engine is gonna return next since 3 is gonna be pulled for her next rebuild in 2025
@Master Dooku Ik I heard
@Master Dooku It was announced in some update railtown 1897 made on one of their sites back in March.
@@evanf1293definitely new tubes and flus since the heavy replacement of boiler and tender cistern are all completed.
Chuff timing is pretty badly off. Hope the fixed that since.
Do shays get wheel slip?
Yes they can. But if they get a lot of slip then either hold on or bend over and grab your ankles.

Feather River RR No. 2 is a three-truck Shay built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1922 for the Hutchinson Lumber Co., in Oroville, CA. It was used to haul Logs trains for the Feather River railroad. When the Feather River dieselised, #2, along with two other Shays, #1 & #3, became standby power. In 1964, the Pacific Railroad Association chartered the #2 & #3 for a final railfan excursion down the eighteen mile line from the Feather Falls mill to the Western Pacific mainline and then back up the 5½% grade to the mill. The railway was abandoned in 1967 after flooding of a portion of its line by Oroville Dam, and #2 was donated to the State of California. In 1976, it moved to Railtown, where it continues to operate hauling excursions.

i like the video ive been on that train ride before i liked it
What dhefight
Can you believe it's been 9 years since Sierra 3 returned to service and just 9 years later 28 returned to service that is just impressive and great
2001 or 2005? I’ve seen you write comments about this trip saying 2005.
Sounds like The Polar Express
The polar express used this locos whistle for the movie
@@pokeyrailfanning that's cool I watched that movie.
Because its
@@Railfan_Chester4639ALL You mean because it is?
There are two crossings next to each other at old wards ferry, so why did they only blow for one?
Is it this cass shay no longer operational and is there any plans for it to steam again or is it going through an overhaul/restoration as we speak
She is not currently operational, and is not currently under restoration. They have just finished the major overhaul of #28, and it's possible in the future they can turn their focus to getting #2 operational again... but it takes time, and a lot of money.
I already knew 28 returned to service this past week pulling trines on Easter with Sierra 3 but I was just asking and I think if they plan on restoring that shay to operation I think we should give them a little break from rebuilding and restoring steam locomotives to service I mean they’ve been working on 28 since 2013 so I think they deserve a bit of a break from restoring their steam locomotives don’t you agree?
Listen to that 5 chime whistle on 28, sounds epic and haunting. The ghost train returns to haunt the rails on Halloween night in October. Could be used for a Halloween Haunted Ghost Train event, like this! And every year on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others. Plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul.
What accident? Don’t tell me, it’s a movie stunt? Anyway, this whistle would sound even more eerie at night. However in the daytime, it would be like any other day. That is, in the days of steam.
What whistle will 28 wear when she comes back into service?
Rumor has it, and we are all hopeful it will be this one returning with her.
A steam whistle
@@bpeachee Last I saw the 28 has a 3-Chime on her. May just be temporary until the "Cannonball" whistle is repaired.
They found it?
Last I heard they the shop crew didn’t know where the whistle was. I also hope maybe once 28 is out, maybe work can start on Shay #2.
Oh look,it's the Back to the future 3 locomotive!
Hey look that's the polar express
What's the whistle cause I need one just cause the polar express
The whistle is an Northern 5 chime whistle.
Actually, it's a Lima 5-chime off a Shay, according to the Rizzoli Locomotive Works; they just restored it recently.
