    R&N 4-6-2 #425 pulls a fall foliage excursion from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe, PA. Cab ride footage was shot on Sunday October 17th, while trackside footage is from Saturday October 9th, hence the different whistles (Southern Pacific 5-chime and Santa Fe 6-chime). Thanks to Shane, Ryan, and Nate (and my dad) for the awesome cab ride.
    Now available on DVD: "Blue Mountain Thunder Vol. 2"

    Outstanding footage of the excursion and that final parting shot was extremely portrait-esque! Outstanding work, everyone!

    I was searching exactly that video! I watched this back when i was 7 and it amazed me. But over the years I forgot about it, now I decided to search for it and here I go lol. Beautiful footage.

    @texaswestern70mac The cab ride footage is from the second trip and thats a ATST 6 chime. The trackside is from the first week and that whistle is a Southern Pacific 5 chime.

    I Like The Santa Fe 6 Chime Whistle On 425. I Wish I Could See 425 Because She Is A Beautiful Blue Locomotive

    Sometimes I forget the 614 was stored at Port Clinton in the early 2010s

    That deep AT&SF whistle I remember on 2102 in the fall/winter of 1987. Sounds better on 2102 she runs a higher psi than 425. Love the cab footage, please post more?

    absolutely fantastic video! one note of correction however, that atsf is a 5 chime passenger whistle. 6 chimes were the more low tone melancholy whistles on the santa fe. unless the atsf 6 chime was on the first day, but the pitch sounds too low.. my guess is day 2 was the atsf 5 chime

    It was stored in Port Clinton for a number of years.

    @trainfann1 I believe it's shot from an observation deck in Flagstaff PA

  • @Steamtrainvideos
    @Steamtrainvideos  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bigjim4life It's the Tamaqua tunnel (North of Tamaqua). Both the White Haven tunnel and the Tamaqua tunnel are very close to the road. You can get to both portals rather easily.

    @ExcaliburLink Quite often. There is usually a different whistle on each run.

    Nice work man. You seen me a couple times on the way there. I was the one kid who got blasted by the cylinder cocks around 1:28 ahah

    @shininghappyperson7 No, I was in the fireman's seat the whole time (off camera to the left).

    I don't see how he fires that thing with such a short scoop... haha Down South we know it's a lot easier on you (especially your back) if you fire with a scoop that's almost as long as the span of your arms...

    Great video! I really hate that they stick a diesel behind the steamers, why?

  • @Reading2101

    One of the guys I talked ti said because if the sand and coal business booming. They are focusing business on that.

  • @Steamtrainvideos
    @Steamtrainvideos  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @drfunk411 Ha ha, I'll bet they'll let you shovel as much coal as you want. The camera was mounted in the cab, I set it up and then just let it run. I was also holding another camera some of the time. Definitely do a cab ride, it's well worth it - one of the best rides I've ever taken.

    awesome video - that long shot of it through the tunnel - is that White Haven? If so - how do you get down there for that footage?

  • @JaredHudson7

    This video is awsome! I hate diesel trains but a super huge fan of steam Trains and #421 is one of my favs! What are they gonna do with that chessapeke and ohio train 614 thats covered up 2:00 into the video? It looks awsome! I wish there was a running steam train in alabama. Only ones left are at railroad mueseums and dont run:( I also gotta ask what kind of paint they use and what color? is that the original color they restored it to? Id like to see how they detail or wax it/wash it. GOOD JOB!

    @typebangin i sure wish i knew how/where...i've heard many people say that (with white haven at least) but nobody's really specific on how...

  • @drfunk411
    @drfunk411 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    How did you get the cab shots so steady? Did you have the cam mounted? Did you run multiple cams? Did They let you blow the whislte and shovel a little bit of coal? I've gotta get one of those cab rides next year.

    Ain't no ATSF 6 chime in this video. The whistle at the beginning only seems to be blowing 4 chimes based on a D root note. Definitely not a 6 chime. Could be a ATSF 5 chime but I don't' hear the 5th note. Awesome footage!!

    @indie1361 They did have the money they only had money for only a couple of trips so they decide not to run it this year.
