Lehigh Valley Coal Company 123: Pioneer Tunnel Photo Charter
The Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine & Steam Train is a 3/4-mile long 42 inch narrow gauge railroad that operates in Ashland, Pennsylvania. Powering trips along the line is Lehigh Valley Coal Company 123, a 1927 Vulcan-built 0-4-0T, also known as the Henry Clay. For many years, the locomotive wore a vibrant scheme with the name Henry Clay being a prominent feature. In early 2024, the railroad announced the locomotive would be repainted into its original livery. Shortly after, MPT Photography and Dak Dillon Photography announced a small evening photo charter featuring the 123 in its new paint scheme.
For the event, the 123 pulled its typical excursion consist and performed numerous photo runbys along the line, allowing for photographers and videographers to capture to locomotive in its new appearance. This event marked the first time any photo charter operated at the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine & Steam Train since its founding in 1962. So sit back, relax, and enjoy 123 performing photo runbys for the first time in its 97 years of existence.
A special thanks goes out to the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine & Steam Train for allowing this historic event to take place along with the participants who signed up for the event.

Just stumbled across your channel by pure coincidence and have been utterly blown away by your quality of work. Not only do your videos look incredible, but they also SOUND incredible. In fact it sounds SO good that initially I thought you were doing sound design in post because there was just no way that the recordings captured on the day were that full body and clean, right? I can hear the rumble of the rails! But as I listened further, I realized that those were indeed the sounds captured on the day. Truly immaculate. I don't think I've heard another steam railroading channel that sounds this good. If you're open to sharing, I'm deeply curious what equipment you're using to capture these fantastic pictures and sounds.
Thank you very much, Brian! I am thrilled to read such a thoughtful comment, and I am glad you enjoy the quality of content I produce. While I believe the video quality is very important, strong audio is what makes a video, and I try my hardest to make both as good as they can possibly be. Almost all of my audio is captured with a Zoom H8 recorder, and the camera I use is a Canon EOS R with a variety of lenses. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel!
Toujour aussi belle$.
Very nostalgic, wowza!
Holy icely its polar express
Not really btw😅
Mega Cooles Video. 👍 Dankeschön dafür. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 👋 Gruß Roland 👋 😊
Beautiful footage. 👍 I don't know why she's fitted with a whistle, you can't hear it over the exhaust noise from the stack. 😂
Thank you! Both the Reading Hooter (freight service) and the Reading 6 Chime (Rambles excursions) are whistles the locomotive would’ve worn on the Reading. The exhaust will overpower just about any whistles. It’s just that loud.
Some people wanna see the Steam engines pulling passengers around well not me i wanna see how they do with Freight! I wanna see them working hard like they did back in the day! Good old fashioned horsepower!
Greetings to steam train lovers like me... Mechanical monsters of the past. Unfortunately, we don't have any of these left in Turkey. It's a shame.
The black and white shots were the best, especially those with back lighting, reminnesant of O Winston Link.
Thank you! We wanted to try and make the night scenes as dramatic as possible. Glad you enjoyed.
Cool stuff bro! Finally some decent coverage of this line is starting to come out lol
Thanks, Joe! We are glad people are happy with the photos and videos they captured. You will have to consider joining us on the next one :)
Simply spectacular movie, 81 put on a great show! Thank you.
Thank you, Steven!
I don't know why, but theres something so haunting and scary about these old trains. They look so intimidating 😂
They know you left them behind.
They are! If the engineer and fireman don’t work as a team mostly (fireman) don’t do his job properly things could get very scary
Really enjoyed this video very much any possibility of filming a one hour video full of whistles
Thank you! While I may make another video of just whistles, I have two videos with just whistles on my channel currently. th-cam.com/video/U-a6GfG4toA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lGFZrDysjQvr_eih th-cam.com/video/IJfjqPZQ2Z8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=62W-yAmXuR3blbtp
Very nice video Mark!
Thank you!
Great video of 123.
Thank you!
It not scary it the train to to hogward
The scenes at 3:04 and 4:13 are wild man. I've seen plenty of steam engines, but never have i seen one with stack talk so loud it cancels out the whistle sound. Well captured!
I have seen a lot of steam locomotives across the United States, and none are as loud as 2102.
Love that stack talk!
Me too!
Were there two separate trains running east in one day?
One day was eastbound with 489 and westbound with 484 and the other was the exact opposite.
Nothing can replace them. Sooooo nostalgic 😊
Now everything has changed with diesel ones.
I miss these whistles 😊...In my childhood days I loved 😍 the sound of the train.
My home town .
And to think, looking down this track ran freight trains carrying tons of ore going to market along with a few passenger trains...
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you!
It's as if these machines are alive
Something about a steam locomotive, a steam whistle, and that chugging coming from the distance... Eerie, yet satisfying. And along with that heavy bell and billowing smoke stacks...
3:05-3:30 Beautiful.
3:05 he's trying to do the Once Upon a Time in the West harmonica
2:52 is perfect. the echo, that whistle is just awesome
It is a very nice whistle.
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you!
Damn that trains like screaming in hell
Cant beat steam!
No you can’t!
