142 is walter g rich

It would be nice to see passenger service restored again.

Some day I would love to get down there to see and maybe take a ride on that train.

just how i remember it lol came here back in 2001-2006 with my mom and her ex boyfriend one of my favorite places still can see purple trains in my mind was 5 years old my first time out there

I remember taking the train From Lee to NYC. When I moved to NY I use to go back on weekends to visit my friends. This was the last 50"s and early 60's

@AttiK Broken crankshaft.

my grandmother lives 10 mins away from horseshoe curve :)

@Bassfanatic94 2317 does have a stoker, though they weren't using it a lot on this visit. I did see the K4 in the Steamtown roundhouse as of last year...

Does this engine have a stoker? Also, is the K4 still there?

Unfortunately, I can't say that I know. (I do know that it doesn't happen often... this was the first passenger train to ply these tracks in 50 odd years, as I understand.) But perhaps more trips will be made now considering that the first one was a hit. I'd recommend getting in touch with either the MBRRE or Berkshire Scenic itself for more news or info...

7:50, kid on a leash!!!

I love seeing steam right where it belongs.....ON THE RAILS, RUNNING! I helped restore and help run and maintain CN #2141, still get chills watching the rods flashing away in the sun. Great video.

Yes, she does look the part! (Only the long crankpins on the rear drive wheels reveal the adjustment.) I agree, it is a shame that so much of the Maine two-foot gauge has been torn up... but luckily, we have folks like those at the WW&F working to bring a little bit of it back to life!

No. 10 is an original, steam era locomotive, though she is not original to the old WW&F, nor was she built to two-foot gauge. I believe she started life as a 30-inch gauge engine working in the south, and has since been re-gauged. I'm not sure entirely, but Edaville might have made this adjustment before the engine finally found home at the restored WW&F. So, in short, I guess she's a restoration. : )

They were working on 26 this past Thursday Oct. 22-09 putting in her stay bolts. Len.

the 2820 is old not new, locomotive like these, the word new is the exact opposite of what they are

No prob.

I know it's rare to see a change in power but when there is a change of power Rail Fans get excited =D

They have used the B&M for the Valley Train. And The Fp-9's (otherwise known as The Sisters) are The main power for the notch.

would the b&m acually run the valley train? and the fp9s are the two csrr painted engines that run the notch right now correct?

the 573 wont be out of service for a long time trust me they cherish that engine but its very good to know that the b&m is back up

yes thanks

Yep, the crankshaft.

Ex-Boston & Maine F-7

Its actually a U23-B, If it were a U-18B, it would have a V-8, lol.

Ok, #501 is Ex-Maine Central W-class 2-8-0. Alco built her in 1910 ( I believe ) She is owned by the 470 RR club, out of Portland, Me, as is #4268, the other B&M F-unit at CSRR, and how they got her, I beileve that she was at Steamtown, in Vt, and was bought down in the 80's, Before my time, so I wouldn't know. Hope that helps aywho

The Boston & Maine F-7 It's back up for Notch & Valley services when either 573 (Gp-7) or one of the Fp-9's are "Out of Service"

whats the 4266?

yeah whats the 501 just sitting there for ? howd it get there?

Yeh, go figure. : D

Who says things made in china are crap?

That's cool. : ) We met him in the cab when the engine was still "warming up" in the Scranton yard... he said that the trip we were about to go on was going to be his first training run as an engineer. I guess he did all right, then!

Don't quote me on it, but I seem to recall hearing something on it was broken.

Where is this place in PA? I see this the show extreme trains, and I like to check it out one day when I go to PA.. Also i want to see the horse shoe as well for North folk railroad.

Haha, it was good, until seven in the morning when the first train rolled around. But I was little then, and my cousin and I would run outside in our pajamas and watch the locomotive turn around. We even tried climbing the signal a few times. :U

Hey, that's pretty cool! What I'd do to live in a house right next to a railroad like that. : )

Ahh! The white building straight across from where you were standing is the condo I grew up in! :D Those were the best memories. This is why I'm obsessed with trains, lol.

'Twas indeed.

Was this the railfest that they have every year

i dont get it

Go to an Ohio Central event. I am now 15 but this year i was 14 and i got to drive 1293 out of Newark Ohio. I have two videos of me in the cab. Byesville is a good chance to get a cab ride.

your welcome! awesome job!

Thanks!

awesome catches!

You Know. I know that guy with the beard. His name's Bruce. He's awesome!

cool

Went to see Steamtown again about a month ago-- 26's boiler was still off of the engine, but both the boiler and the engine looked like they had received work. I'm afraid I don't know too many specifics, though.

I figured as such-- I was delighted to see it!

the Amtrak train was probably the Pennsylvanian

4:48 u rarley see a switcher on a main line
