Steamtown - The Ice Train

  • Steamtown National Historic Site has made it a tradition to run a special steam excursion in the dead of winter. This is a particularly rare occasion, seeing as most other tourist lines do not operate their steam locomotives during the winter months. Pulled by Canadian National #3254, you will see how the difference in elevation has affected the snow accumulation along the line - there is very little snow near Scranton, but there are several inches just a little farther up the line.

    I really don't care for the whole train/steam obsession - but I r e a l l y enjoyed the winter landscape with the steamtrain soundscape. Being an expat Northerner in the southern hemisphere subtropics this was such an excellent space-time-travel sequence!
    Love it. cheers for that, mate!

    Inevitable recordar con este tren un viaje con mi mamá y tres hermanos menores desde Alameda (Santiago) a Concepción. Tenía 6 años. Los sonidos del tren, su silbato y humareda me envuelven en la maraña del tiempo y mi alma se llena de nostalgia al ver estas imágenes. Mi madre se quedó para siempre en esas sureñas tierras que la recibieron y en la cual ahora descansa en paz. Un tren como este fué el Tren de la Esperanza de una vida mejor que a Dios gracias encontró en esa bella ciudad de Chile.

    Excellent! Thank you for posting this.
    The rolling stock of the steam era (and since) were seldom in a shiney, just-out-of-the-box immaculate condition. It would have been vitually impossible to keep them that way. I think these passenger cars look authentic

    That is called a feedwater heater, kind of like a preheater for the water coming from the tender on its way to the boiler. Basically the energy saved (by raising the water up a few degrees) by preheating the water is that much less that have to be taken from the firebox; the energy would otherwise be wasted heat.
