Thanks for the video! I've seen hundreds and hundreds of steam train videos but I've never seen this train. Would love to see a documentary on this train. So I gather from caption this train was once a us army train? What's info on this one? Baldwin built?
@@JaredHudson7 was built by Alco in 1942, operated in Fort Dix, NJ before being moved to Fort Eustis, VA. later worked for the Virginia Blue Ridge Railroad as 9 til 1963 and was sold to New Hope & Ivyland and ran til the 60’s and 70’s and very early 80’s. Sat dormant til SMS rail lines bought it in 2009. They began testing the 9 in 2023 hauling freight before it was ferried to Woodstown Central.
