- Join us in real-time as engineer Jason Johnson takes Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765 from Fitzwater to Akron, Ohio on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in September 2019. On this run, the locomotive was carrying the whistle from Nashville Steam's steam locomotive no. 576.
Jason Johnson is the general manager for the T-1 Trust, which is slowly but surely constructing a brand new Pennsylvania Railroad T-1! Learn more about the project here: prrt1steamlocomotivetrust.org....

U guys should do another video like this but during the Joliet rocket runs
What whistle is on 765
@@npk765fan normally nathen 6 chime
In this video Hancock 3 chime from ny&stl 576
at 29:13 i love how fast he responds to the wheelslip, When running at speed uphill with a pull like that is something you take with great precision, His response shows how focus and on guard Locomotive Engineers are. Props to Him.
Such an incredible day. Thank you FWRHS and NKP no. 765 for helping NC&StL No. 576 sing for the first time in decades!!
But mister jason johnson must be a real steam enthusiast. Thank you all volunteers for making this possible.
That whistle... Be still my heart!
Sounds like it has the Wabash whistle on it.
Frisco1522 info is in the description.
Engineer Jason Johnson, Keep On Being Awesome By Riding That Awesome Steam Locomotive, Friend ! 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
where they gonna run it
Wonderful perspective. Really gives you an idea of the engineer’s duties and how he must manipulate the controls to achieve balance between throttle and reverse gear for the most efficient operation.
Props to the engineer. He's clearly terrified, but maintains his professionalism remarkably well.
The engineer knows what he’s doin’! I would love to run a steam engine for a side job, but I’m not near enough to anywhere that has a live engine. Don’t take this for granted boys! You’re doing what a lot of people wish they could be doing.
This brings back memories of cab rides in x CPR/BC Rail 2860 Royal Hudson and 3716, 3716 continues to run in Summerland BC Canada. 2860 is at the museum in Squamish BC.
I have to hand it to you Guys in the States, you certainly knew how to build engines. I wish I have had the opportunity to come visit when I was over there in 2019 for the Golden Spike 150. Our Queensland Government owned Queensland Rail Heritage hasn't run any steam since the very beginning of 2020. Which saddens me as I was One of the few Qualified Drivers allowed to work Our Steam Locomotives, one of which was a 2-8-2 Baldwin. Anyway keep the dream alive and best Wishes for 2022 from Australia 🇦🇺
Love this footage and the sound . This is like a master class on steam operation.
So awesome. Train teams are so freaking cool - not that I'm dissing the machine. The machine is equally impressive.
I wish I could operate 765 or any of the steam legends of the days
Wonderful! Gives some nice insight as to what goes on in the cab during a trip!
Here 576's whistle was on the 765.
Amazing video! Living so close to the valley, it’s always a fun time to see everyone come down!
I love that whistle, wooooooooooooooo!,wooooooooooooo!woooo!,wooooooooooooo!,38:02
My dream job, to engineer or even fire a live steam locomotive!! Had an opportunity to be offered a job as a conductor for a large railroad, but unfortunately the family came first.
Look for volunteer opportunities nearby! Where do you live?
@@michaelhubble Just outside Charlotte North Carolina
@@vettebecker1 I'm a volunteer coordinator at a growing operation in Folsom, CA and I gotta tell you, I never imagined that I would have the opportunities that I currently have. These museums will train you and you can work your way up as part of operations crews if you express interest and take the time to learn.
vettebecker1 Spencer’s Transportation Museum is a great place to start!
Very well done cab ride, Cool • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Spectacular footage! Enjoyed it a lot!
What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing. LJL
Looks like a lot to balance. Keepin the momentum going. And big hand bars everywhere. 2 min early to boot.
Desde España, quería darle mi más sincera enhorabuena por su trabajo, cuanto me gustaría poder ser maquinista. Un saludo
I love 765
I wish I could be the train engineer of number 765 my coworker Ralphie Carlisle could be the fireman and what a heck of a fun crew we would both make and my other co-worker Philp Logan could be the train's conductor and Ralphie and I's boss and the boss of the Railroad,41:03
i was on this train
Listen to the stack talk starting at 4:04!
That whisle sounds a bit similar to the 4014 and the challenger locomotive.
Mr. Johnson did a very fine job of running Engine 765, but his clothing is much too clean--especially his gloves. After all, this is a coal-burning steam locomotive!
We need the number of his dry cleaner!
Who is the gentleman seated behind the engineer? I’ve seen him with 611.
How I wish to make a living doing this!
How many notches are available on the throttle?
765 should doublehead with R&N 425 in the future.
I want to see 765 triplehead with 1225 and 2716.
You should have shown the wheels also but good video keep it up
Does the engine still carry a fitting for a guest whistle
Yes, but operating it interferes with our on board event recorder, so this whistle is mounted on the main whistle valve port.
@@fortwaynerailroad Could y'all possibly use it as the fireman's whistle like back in the 80s, 90's? Or would it still interfere with the event recorder?
Welche Ventile bedient der Lokführer denn da immer ? Lenz Ventilsteuerung läuft doch über Nockenwelle. Der Regler scheint ja schwer zu betätigen.
What is the valve in front of him he keeps opening and closing with his left hand? At first I thought it might be the bell, but I don't think it is now.
The handle hanging down is the throttle the one beside is the reverser it also controls where in the stroke the steam admission is cut of saving use of steam and easing horsepower robbing backpressure as the steam is exhausted out the used side with each stroke
@@manga12 Thanks, but I'm having trouble following some of that. Please use periods. I can't figure out where one sentence stops and the next one starts.
@@fabio40 was written on my phone sarry
i think you are referring to the sander valve. is the valve in question a short brass vertical lever? if so, that is the sander. a hint is at 29:15, as soon as he notices that the locomotives wheels are slipping, he jams that valve forward (probably corresponding to the front sanders) before then closing the throttle.
Edit: just in case you are referring to the valve he was twisting open and closed, I will say that I am not sure. I looked, but could not find materiel that explained what that was. Considering what I saw in the images I found, it could have been something to do with the gauges he had in front of him, or it could very well be the bell's air valve. in fact, it may actually be the bell, as he would be turning on the bell at every crossing they went through, and turning it off after passing through the crossing.
Also a note: 765's bell is not exactly audible at all throughout the video, with all of the noise in the cab.
😊
Is there any place that you can learn how to drive a steam locomotive?
We offer a Throttle Time session just about each time we're at the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad which is a good way to get familiar, but in most places you need to be a student engineer and serve over 100 hours before you can become certified.
The Nevada Northern Railway in Ely offers a Be The Engineer program
And Fitzwater is where?
Ohio.
that sucks that they cant quill the whistle i imagine thats due to a electronic switch to activate it as to a manual pull cord? you can even see in the video the engineer being disapointed trying so hard to get the classic sound but nothing!
Just curious what is happening at 29:15?
Wheel slip, there were wet leaves on the rail and the drive wheel lost traction. You have to close the throttle as quickly as possible to avoid damage to the running gear. Then you open it back up to return to power. Same thing happens on diesel locomotives.
@@jasonjohnson7746 Awesome thanks! Don't know as much as I'd like to about steam.
Why does he keep having to release the brakes?
The “independent” brake on the engine will creep “on” over time, so he has to make sure it’s released. You can hear the other engineer (off camera) tell him that he should “bail off” every 15 seconds or so.
Why does he keep bailing his brakes, though?
To keep them from climbing on the drivers of the locomotive.
@@fortwaynerailroad Oh I see. Thank you for the reply!
@@fortwaynerailroad Does he have to do it more frequently depending if the rails are slick/wet? Just curious.
Wondered that myself, he's not dragging them with a set. I know for some guys, it's like a nervous twitch.
Early on, you can hear the off-camera engineer telling him to bail off every 15 seconds or so.
In this in-cab vid of the engine what are the devices in 2:07-2:12 and what do they do?
m.th-cam.com/video/pF9UMMMTEew/w-d-xo.html
Also what are the lights above the speedometer?
the lights above the speedometer give light when operating at night, so the engineer can see the speedometer, etc. and what do you mean by devices?
No no no not the illumination lights I meant the small green lights above the speedometer
@@adamtain7627 i'm not sure, it could be part of the event recorder.
Yo People From FWRHS Is what I called you guys not being Rude but Also Not being Bossy but when the Coronavirus Has been Cured , Please Make a Double-Heading Excursion with R&N #425 So I can get to see my Life long Dream
@Maxwell DiNovo lmao it takes so much planning and they have 2102 almost operational they have no need for 765 to vist
Mr. Johnson needs some training in proper whistle codes!
I'd think there should be less chatter in the cab so the poor engineer can focus.
You'd be surprised how much you can tune out and concentrate on what you're doing.
