Western Maryland 729: Pusher Service
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.พ. 2015
- In our third and final video featuring Western Maryland #734 renumbered as #729, we will witness the big 2-8-0 in a different kind of role. This time, we will see the engine in "pusher service". Instead of being on the front of the train, #729 will be simulating a helper engine for photographers.
The train will be led by Western Maryland Scenic Railroad's GP30 #502. #502 was built for the Reading as #3607, and later went to Conrail as their #2175. The Western Maryland never owned any GP30 locomotives. An interesting feature on the #502 is the split-manifold Leslie S3L horn. You may notice that two of the trumpets are mounted above the engineer's window, while only one trumpet is mounted about the fireman's window. As far as we know, this is one of the few locomotives in the US that operates on a regular basis with this type of air horn configuration.
Back to #729, we will see the engine "assisting" the train at various locations along the old Western Maryland line up to Frostburg. We'll even hop in the cab for a ride from the No. 2 Bridge up the steepest part of the grade going into Frostburg.
After our train takes the passing track in Frostburg, we'll catch the WMSR's regular excursion train leaving to head back to Cumberland with GP30 #501 in the lead. #501 was built for the Penn Central as #2249, and later became Conrail #2249.
Sit back an enjoy this variety of steam and diesel action on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad during the peak of the fall season.
Great sound. I love hearing the exhaust echoing from the hills.
Great video, beautiful shots and locomotive
awesome video and catches of this steamer desel freight run on this railroad
I enjoyed this. Excellent video.
I love steam engines that work as helpers on the diesel and steam freight train revenues!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job, I like it.
Steam and diesel working together! I love seeing this everytime! =D What's even more ironic is seeing a GP30 lead an old steam locomotive; basically symbolizing the demise of steam, and the fact that I've always been more of a diesel kind of guy!
I like to think that it’s actually 729 being pulled from storage to help a stalled freight train.
Very well done!!
can't wait to see 1309 going up the mountain soon
It is doing so now. It’s currently operational
enjoy the scenery,,and the trains,,great videos
Great video as always!
If the Chevy was blue, I'd would see my uncle's PU. 215 and 4 spd
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO AS EVER
On the note of rare horn configurations, consider Grafton and Upton 1500. A former Bay Colony CF7 originally built in 1952 and refurbished at the ATSF Cleburne shops in the 1980s. This rare locomotive is complimented by a P5 on the conductor's side and an A200 used only for railfans on the engineer's side. Each horn is individually mounted and aired.
This isn't quite the same. With this horn, both airlines are used when the engineer pulls the valve, this the "split" manifold. That engine would have two separate mounts and two separate manifolds. That set-up isn't common, but not impossible to find either. I believe Amtrak had some of their Leslie SL4T mounts on a "split" manifold.
But still the chances of finding something with a split manifold or multiple horns is rare to begin with. The horn sounds good anyway.
There's actually quite a few GP7's, GP9's, and other units preserved at museums or operating on tourist railroads that have two or multiple seperate horns. LM&M 55 in Ohio, some of the geeps at the Niles Canyon/Pamona museum in California, and the GP7 unit at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Georgia.
+Penn Rail Videos Actually, the SL-4T was originally offered as a split manifold after Leslie and Amtrak realized that they were more prone to fouling than other horn models. Ironically, like the horn, the locomotives in which these horns were placed (the SDP40F's) were just as plagued!
Penn Rail Videos Nice olde fashion car @ 4:27
Nice!
Excellent video.
Hornhausen
Great angles, sound and subject matter. Love the crossing location with the old vehicle/road crossing signs, too! (Edit: what kind of sick bastards disliked this?!)
2 power units. just to shove few trucks around...must be going uo a one in 45... !
love the sound in the introduction. but i listen with headphones and had it turned onto loud. fro ma different episode. THIS time it nearly threw me out of the chair, it was so loud, great stereo sound though! and great video quality too! into Minute 7.19, what the hell are they burning, with so much black smoke? heavy fuel oil that the ships even wont take on anymore?
An engine working hard like a steam engine doing uphill helped service will put out darker smoke like that
@@pennymcknight1346 thank you for the reply, makes sense indeed. keep safe and dont let the -bug - get you. and dont - drink or inject - any bleach or any other crap....
High up high up see the train top on the bridge yeah work on it engineer
this video would be better if the geep decided to stay home that day
Just wondering whos old cars are those? They're great for the shot
So, the diesel needed help with ten empty cars on mostly level ground?
Helmstetter is a pretty steep grade so maybe. Probably just for show.
Great video. What's with the road literally 5 feet from the tracks? Is that a railroad use only road?
It's a walking trail.
I can see that the gondola in front of 729 is loaded with grass.
Ronald Mitch i dont smoke :)
Ronald Mitch good. remember, weed is the path to the dark side
really? 729? looks like 734
this IS 734 its just renumbered
Or more probably, the refrigerator. LOL. Great vid BTW.
No info about the cars?
This might be the dumbest question ever but I don't know the answer and I'm going to ask. What is the purpose for the pipe under the tender blowing out all that steam? I'd imagine there's some reason for it other than just show. I know the packing on the piston rod, and maybe valve rod too, on the fireman's side is leaking like a sieve. I love the way the exhaust of a steam locomotive looks in very cold weather. At the beginning of this video the steam mixed with the smoke was great looking. Nice video. I enjoyed it very much! 👍
Possibly steam from the brake line for the engine leaking out
I think I figured out what it might be. Maybe it's a steam pipe that would have went back to coaches for heating in the steam radiators and they have it open for some reason like just for show or maybe the valve is broke that controlled it and they haven't been able to fix it yet.
Probs right which it will be fixed while 734 is under its 1472 day fra mandated boiler inspection
Nice, colorful video. Why so much smoke?
I don't know maybe because its a steam engine just a thought
@@haydenharman2351 My great uncle was a steam locomotivengineer.
When a fireman, he properly fired the locomotive, saving coal an producing little smoke. Over firing needlessly coats the firetubes with soot which acts as an insulatoreducing heat getting to the water and lowering the already-poor efficiency.
Why does it have the Lerro Productions in the credit if its yours? Hope this aint taken from another channel.
trainman7616 Lerro Productions hosted the charter and we simply thanked them for making it a good time for us!
Penn Rail Videos So thats why it says Lerro Productions? But even so, shouldn't it have Penn Rail Videos instead though I guess leaving Lerro Productions does give credit for hosting the charter and good advertisement. None the less nice video. I miss 734 though.
If any other organization, company, or individual hosted such a thing you would credit them. Why does it matter?
your graphics block the shots.
Awesome! Thanks for posting. True hardcore railroad porn.
729? Should be B&O 2734.
What? The B&O doesn't have anything to do with it (except that they merged with the Western Maryland Railway), it's WMSR 734.
That's a bad crossing right there stay in the still right now is not save ,now is save Is not Alot of traffic so!!!!
