Evan's Megazord reviews from what I was told by a few crew members, She was only really designed to pull 6-8 cars at pretty high speeds. These pacific’s were passenger engines, and they did the job well! however! If you check out Reading & Northern 425, (another pacific of similar size) they CAN pull decent sized trains with no assist.
That explains not that many coaches when it visited in 2012 and I wonder why 1293 hasn't done any runs there since is it because of some problems it had during theses runs and that 765 is basically 1293's permanent replacement for the steam in the valley runs done every September
Evan's Megazord reviews depending on the payload.. probably a few more cars! With the large drivers, she was designed for higher speed vs lugging freight cars around.
@@AndrewLieb 1293, Canadian Locomotive Company serial #2450. was delivered from Kingston on June 30, 1948. These G-5 Pacifics were a post WWII design intended to replace older power in secondary main and Branchline service. Canadian Pacific was one of the few North American railways to make post war steam for this type of service. Class prototypes, 1200 & 1201. were the last steam built in CPR's Angus shops in 1944
It's the standard issue Canadian Pacific Step-Top 5 chime that a majority of later CP Steam Engines had. You may notice that it sounds slightly sharper and higher pitched than other CP 5 chimes, like 2317's, without as much puffy white steam if any at all. That's because the G-5 Pacifics run at a higher steam pressure (250 psi compared to 200 on most earlier CP Engines), and the whistles take their steam directly from the Dry Header of the Superheater Manifold, which is why the whistles are mounted directly behind the stack. The dry header is directly under it inside the smokebox.
But it is being blown on steam. Not air. Steam is actually clear. It only turns white when it condenses back into water. Hotter (superheated steam) condenses less in the air, so it isn't as white and puffy. I believe 1293's whistle is hooked up to a superheated steam supply
I worked for Green Mountain Railroad and was Chief Passenger Agent when she and her two sisters ran in Vermont.
This sure brings back memories.
They just had steam in the valley actually.. they have it every year in september!
I got to see #1293's cab as well.
Where is #1293? Is it being overhauled?
+Michigan Rail Productions It is at the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek.
Why is it not running currently?
Michigan Rail Productions There aren't any scheduled excursions
@@nssteampunk4865so glad you got to see in the cab of 1293
Are they running steam right now id love to come up and watch
I wonder how many coaches or freight cars can 1293 pull unassisted?

Does the same go for freight too?

I see thanks
I actually took it myself. i know a few of the crew and they let me take a quick look.
Must be an Alco engine from the square builders plate
Ok

Nice! What’s the whistle on #1293?
TheBlueComet832 thanks! If I remember correctly, I think its just the standard 5 chime it usually wears.

SteamAndSmoke97 Ah. Thanks for the information!
That photo of 1293's cab where did u get it
It’s called filming it with a camera
What does a clear no steam coming out a a steam whistle mean?
I believe the whistle is blown using superheated steam.
It's actually because 1293 has a air articulated whistle, all CP G5 Pacifics were like that

Do you know if trains run through sugar creek anymore? Luke freight trains? If so do u know how many a week?
Ohio Central runs thru there once a week or so
