- The Northern Central Railway, formerly known as Steam into History, operates passenger trains on a scenic stretch of track in South Central Pennsylvania. The line is most well known as the route President Abraham Lincoln used to travel to Gettysburg to deliver his famous Gettysburg Address speech in 1863. On this occasion, the railroad and its equipment was chartered by Carl Franz for a day of photo runbys. No. 17 "York", a fully-functional replica of a Civil War-era 4-4-0, was the motive power for this private, not-publicly-announced event, with 3 passenger coaches in tow. Coverage includes the 1838-built Howard Tunnel, the third oldest railroad tunnel in the United States, as well as a plethora of rare mileage shots.
Filmed on March 5th, 2022.

4-4-0 one of the most elegant locomotives ever built
That has to be the hardest I’ve ever seen a 4-4-0 work, great coverage!
Indeed. Idk why they treat them like theyre from walmart, just replace the boilers if its that old. I dont see why itd be too expensive, you could just weld all the seams in the riveted boiler to re use it.
@@cmw184 Well, part of it is also the desire to keep them in as original condition as possible.
Edit: but also this locomotive is a replica, not an original, which is why you actually see it working.
Good to see vintage steam locomotive still running on rail road. Appreciate efforts put in to preserve and maintain this steam locomotive, coaches and railroad tracks.
A very nice video. The 4-4-0 was referred to as the "American" type for its unique design, and I think there's something in the way they look and move that encapsulates that same indomitable spirit.
This is an incredible video. Every shot you made it"s impossible to date. It looks right out of the 1800s. Great camera work and good eye. Thanks so much for posting this video.
that whistle. both haunting and beautiful. some gorgeous video.
What a great looking engine. What an outstanding video production.
Remarkable event - and superbly filmed. Credits to all involved. So evocative
Even when working hard, the exhaust just seems to drift out of the funnel. It doesn’t look to have much of a punch behind it. I suspect it is due to the conical shape of the funnel which makes it so easy for the exhaust to escape. Excellent video.
It's a spark arresting funnel, also it's gooey smoke.
What a beauty.
She is such a beauty. Thank you for putting this here.
Excellent video!! Very good camera operator! A pearl of the railway past!
Nobody can deny the absolute, undisputed aesthetic superiority of classic american 4-4-0s over any other type of locomotive ever made. Not saying other locomotives aren't beautiful, but these are above and beyond anything else. The shape of the wheels, the contrast between the black-painted steel and the shiny bronze unions, the combination of wood and metal, the simple but beautiful paint schemes, that peak victorian style of train cars, even the soft sound of the train running, puffing and sounding its steam whistle. It's a moving sculpture you can ride.
Also, looking at how dense and black the smoke is, this thing is dirty as hell. It goes into a tunnel for too long and everyone dies.
Wonderful video of this very beautifully presented loco
Excellent. Well captured.
Wow A Beauty reminfs of start of film 'braveheart pass' they wetethe days tks
Would be so much nicer if we had much less whistle and more being able to listen to the loco working.
Well done!
incredible! This Locomotive just Almost like me 1:59
Thanks for the video Beautiful
Excellent!!!!
reminds me they were the days imagine seeing thos mountains etc Wow all is discovered in today's mod world wow a tunnel!
My dude whistles in lowercase 🥺😭 that's so cute-
Cracking smoke. Cracking train,too!
Nossa! Que locomotiva linda! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Less comments about oil and smoke, the EPA may be watching!
It is a shame the Northern Central line through Maryland was abandoned!!!
Wonderful sight! we have a little rogers here in NZ at ashburton "plains village Its a small version with only a single wheel front lead bogie ... Is the chuffing dubbed? she seems to be "breathing" faster than she is moving , not at close shot. great smoke effect might have got the fire man a kick back in the day...
None of the audio is dubbed. Everything you hear is how it sounded in person!
Has that loco been adapted to run on oil? lf so, that would be why all that disgusting black smoke is coming out. A coal fired one with a stoker who knew what he was about would not over-coal the fire. This would keep it burning at its hottest heat, and the smoke would be virtually white, with just a little grey at base. l have driven steam trains.
@@evelynsutton4411 The loco has burned oil since it was built.
@@firegrateproductions lt is beautiful to look at, but l don't think it would get past 'elf'n'safety' in England!
When was the locomotive constructed?
How long does it take from coast to coast?
What a Beautiful Replica of a 4-4-0, and the whistle "is to-die-for." What company/business built the replica? I assume there were the same issues in the replica constructions for Promontory Point's CP Jupiter #60 and U.P @119 replicas at the Golden Spike National Monument in Utah. Now, maybe a little antiquing on the coaches, and a likeness of President Lincoln standing on the rear platform to complete the experience.
The locomotive was built by Kloke Locomotive Works in Illinois. Not the same place that built the Jupiter and 119 replicas, but based off the same blueprints.
*MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM THAT'S GOOD*
I saw, it has to be it, locomotive and tender being transported on I-80 west in Brookville Pa. several years ago. The trucks were parked on the on ramp. Maybe they could not get into our truck stops. I thought they may have been restored in steam town and going west because they looked like that's where they belonged.
The engine was built in Illinois so it is possible you did see in en route to the Northern Central!
@@firegrateproductions was number 17 built for Northern Central?
@@rudycarlson8245 Yes it was.
@@firegrateproductions when was number 17 built?
@@firegrateproductions Also what is the boiler pressure of number 17?
I don't consider myself a rivet counter, but I was somewhat taken aback to see what appear to be Bettendorf freight trucks under the passenger cars. Well at least, if not authentic c.1860, they look to be friction bearing rather than roller. Also, the passenger cars, fabricated from metal to look like wood(?) look like they're perched on c. 1940 flat cars. Truss rods anyone? Curious about the engine's headlight... coal oil, or electrically illuminated? Otherwise great video. Wish I could've been there. Great to see a beautiful 4-4-0, regardless of the fuel used to light her fire.
Good observations! The coaches are indeed converted flatcars. As for the headlight, I'm guessing it's oil powered because the engine doesn't have a dynamo.
@@firegrateproductions Sure, well pretty obvious, but not a distraction in the landscape shots. Please note, I didn't mention the lack of link and pin couplers. Safety first!
Could a location content page be added at the credit ending?
That I am unable to do.
@@firegrateproductions Thanks
Looks like the train from Mario Kart 64
Is it burning wood or coal? Beautiful locomotive, fabulous video. Thanks for posting.
Neither. The engine actually burns oil. Glad you enjoyed!
@@firegrateproductions well I’ll ll need to take a cutters torch to it.
@@HMSHOOD1920 keep your negative opinions to yourself! the steam locomotive in this video is a beautiful engine!
@@firegrateproductions Actually I enjoyed it even though we know historically it burned wood, right?
When was it converted?
@@williamlenoch1526 The engine has always burned oil.
most beautiful train with cars attched. this is something from 1887 i think
The engine was actually built in 2013. It's a replica of a Civil-War era 4-4-0 locomotive. The passenger cars were built between 2013 and 2021.
@@firegrateproductions Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy mennyi időbe telt eljutni a keleti partról a nyugatira, amikor ezek a csodás mozdonyok vontatták a vonatokat, éjszaka is mentek? Csodás felvételek, a korhű hátterekkel. Thanks. Magyaroszágról. Európából.
@@gaborgredely1848 Back in the day, it took several days for one to cross the United States by rail. It would have also involved a few interchanges with other railroads. Glad you enjoyed!
Seriously Where is this secretivw Location iwonget tr cause i live in Ireland
American scenarios in Transport Fever 2 be like:
Is that a wood burner or an oil burner.
Oil burner
Was there a northern central 17 during the Civil War era
No there wasn't.
So it's an oil burning steam train,am I correct in assuming that?
Yes, you are correct.
Would you believe me if I said I built the third car in that group, the "New Freedom"?
Got proof?
On a flatcar by the looks of it. Maybe he worked in the flatcar factory?
Wood or coal?
Oil
Tren leña ó diesel
Wood fired

Although too bad she's burning oil instead of wood
Oil is cheaper than wood, so it makes sense as to why she burns it.
that probably explains why it seemed to be putting out incredible amounts of smoke
@@michaelkolano8686 ya think
@@BenBensonStudios oil isn't cheaper than wood at today's prices
As proved in Durango, the D&SRR was charged for a forest fire apparently caused by one of their coal-burning steamers. Coal (AND WOOD) can start forest fires. D&SSRR is converting to oil for their steam locos.
