Steam supremacy!!!

Steam locomotive for passenger trains and diesel locomotives for freight

The old steam locomotives they keep on going don't they 😮😊

Southern Pacific X-4444? 4-8-4

Excellent video, likes from me ! ! !

Great video! Does anyone know where this location is?

I know most folks love the 4300s and 4400s, but I'm here for little 1294, doing her best!

Pretty cool. I've never seen so many 4300's in one place! I could watch this procession of trains all day. Thanks!

Two of my dad's aunts, or better put, my great-aunts, as high school students, took the SP steam locomotive commuter weekday train from San Francisco to Redwood City (California) to attend Sequoia High School in Redwood City back in the 1920s; as the newly opened Sequoia HS was akin to 'Stanford University' when it came to academic prominence at the high school level. There was a vast age difference among the sisters at the time (amounting to 13 siblings), where the married sister (dad's mom) had her younger sisters use her Redwood City address for residency purposes. Hearing about what the teens did in the 1920s, they seemed much more 'adult' in their lives than the teens of later and current generations.

I know its just because I was born 30 years later, but I can hardly imagine waiting for a steam locomotive to pull up with my train to Los Angeles. So much more dramatic than a rumbling diesel engine, where the first thing I see are the headlights, rather than the towering exhaust.

Fantastic

Its Crazy how much that area changed just 20 years later. I miss the Espee

Quite a parade of Espee steam. GS, MT, and P class engines plus switching activity. Wow!

Awesome video!

Love this video! 🐻🇺🇲

The movie North by Northwest brought me here.

This video is from Herron Rail Productions and it's title is NKP 759 & The Last N&W Pocahontas.

Tom, who made the model of the GS4?

When was this filmed?

I love the stack talk , those hoggers ran the guts out of these locos and still they are repairable. What a treasure the EBT is , I am so glad it is in good hands . It could have been scrapped or turned into a Disney type side show. !!

Nickel Plate Road 759 (Built by Lima Locomotive Works in August 1944) running on the Norfolk & Western Railroad trackage.

That sounds really good wgat decoder do you have in there?

Side bar: Why on earth did the filmmakers in those days (and I remember those type films in my 1950s school days) use white titles/stories over mostly light shaded scenery where, even when it was a relatively new film, you could not read them much the time (as is here) ?? Today titles/subtitles are black (or if white, have a black backing)..

The sound on this is amazing. That first scene with the tarin ascending around the curve gave me goosebumps.

Thank you MUCH, for uploading this.

This is the famous "Blackhawk Film". It's a well-made transfer. Some of the darker spots could use a little exposure correction. Black locomotives and cars need a little over-exposure to be seen clearly. Overall, a well-done presentation of a rarely-seen film. ETA: I see I've been given a Facebook-type handle. This is incorrect; I'm not on Facebook.

what happened to 4449? is it still in operation?

The New York Central had been a great passenger railway pre war and during WW2 and massively over invested in something like a 1000 new long distance stainless steel carriages in 1945-9 adding to the debt but the NYC was particularly disadvantaged post wat as its main routes NY Chicago and NY Detroit were those were the low and rough riding piston Constellations and Boeing Stratocruisers had the greatest advantage and business market as tbe 2/3 hoursto Detroit or Chicago in a 300mph airliner vibrating 3.5 miles high was vearable. The other railways had shorter more didect routes the Pennslvania route. Was 60 miles less fo Vhicago and 150 miles less from Philidelphia to Chicago about 13 houes rather than 16.hrs on ths NYC. The Baltimore and Ohio had the lock on the services to St Louis and the still existant Capitol limited is a much shorter route. Prior go the effective arrival of the DC8 and 707 in 1960 rail was still competitive on long 2000 trips Chicago LA abd NY Miami just like the Queen Elizabeth and USS United States on the trans Atlantic partly because of the many crashes and failures of the UKs new Comets and turbo prop Viscounts and the US Lockheed turboprop Electras which were smoother than fhe Piston DC7 or Super Constellation but no faster The several civilian airliners that wiped themselves out on the walls of the Grand Canyon also asdisted the Santa Fe like the Ennslvania Railway to stay effectively in the passenger market toll the late 1960s as gbeir railways image was.built on first class service alnost regardless of the cost to the Railway or Passenger. The NYC ceased tobe a serious rail passenger line long before tbe jet airliner ldt alone thenPe n Central msrger in 1968 or Amtdak in 1971 because its water level route was the leat competitive and it could not afford the luxuty.

You should be able to get it to run slower by making sure the value for CV 215 matches your track voltage.

Nice. I just ordered the same model; I've been wanting a steam locomotive and this is the one. I hope it runs well on my layout. Did you use JMRI Decoder Pro to adjust the CV's? Would you mind sharing the changes you made? Thanks for the reviews, they convinced me to buy this model.

Cool you did the horn. How about you actually do the whistle?

Nice review, I appreciate you going over the improvements. I've been thinking about getting one of these locomotives, although I have no need for one other than they are cool. What radius curves are you running the locomotive on?

Come see lucastrainverse!

Finally it’s about time those came out where can I find one of these also do they pull any better than the first run?

I have got to see all three steam locomotives that pulled the American Freedom Train back between 1975 and 1976. All at there current locations.
