We as a family have been following your channel ever since my kids and I came across the Lancaster video awesome job, if I may ask what camera are you using? would love to get that kind of video quality on family vacation.
@@jbreezy3146 Thank you, very glad you are enjoying our work. Principle photography for this was completed on a Lumix S1H, with three Lumix S5 models used as B cams on some shoots, and as the A cams on 2 of the chapters shoots. (Maine Narrow Gauge and Soo Line 1003)
You just gotta love those steam whistles. Great video for a train buff. Just hate to see the diesels in the consist, but I guess they're needed in case of an emergency. Can't help but think they are doing some of the pulling/pushing. When the Western Maryland entered the tunnel it reminded me of the train ride my wife & I made on the Dilsboro, NC, train ride. They told us the tunnel was haunted. Had to look up the #1309 Western Maryland engine and found it is a Mallet 2-6-6-2 compound engine. I really like the #17, an American standard 4-4-0. Couldn't see in the tender, but I guess it was converted from and original wood burner to an oil fired boiler. Cass has some really cool 3 truck Shay engines. Norfolk & Western's 12 wheeler is not that common of an engine. Hardly and of those left. Cheers from eastern TN
The diesel is needed as the steam engine currently can’t turn around at Frostburg, so diesel leads the return to Cumberland. York 17 is a 2013-built locomotive and has always burned oil
A wonderful and valuable work! Thanks for this video. I especially like the shot of the engine running at 16:34 to 16:40 - it's a pity it's so short... Could you please make it a little longer and with different steam locomotives? Best regards.
th-cam.com/video/32eEO-NXq2E/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared The same shot was performed in this video but for longer. On most engines that shot is not possible, at least, not in the way we executed it there. The York's small build and high drivers put the cab very close to the drivers, making it an easy task to do that handheld with a higher end camera. To get a similar angle on most other loconotives, itd require a POV camera and mount. Which we have done before - though the color depth of the POV cameras cant compete with our main cameras, making their use a hinderance to the quality.
I´d like to know, why the engine of Western Maryland is carrying two BLACK flags on? And thanks very much for posting this amazing video! I´m fan from Czech republic, Central Europe, love steam trains so much. :-)
@@DynamoProductions-trains Was the Mallet a freight train only? Also, steam trains wouldn't have had diesels helping them when they were in common use, so how did they deal with grades back then?
It was designed for slow speed freight. Today it’s suitable for the slower speeds of a tourist railroad. In the steam era labor was cheaper and the railroads had no viable alternative to steam power, so they rostered bigger engines and more engines, so multiple steam engines would be used. The WM for instance would use one H-9 type 2-8-0 for every 10 loaded hoppers on the Black Fork Grade, running 90 car coal drags with 9 locomotives to tackle that grade. Its not exactly ecomonical for tourist railroads to do the same, which is why most cases you find a diesel helper, rather than more steam engines.
@@DynamoProductions-trains How would they coordinate the use of multiple steam engines back then? You need all the locomotives working properly in tandem for maximum efficiency. Today it's easy, simply having computers that link the locomotives together electronically and automatically control the acceleration and braking accordingly, but back then, this would have had to have been done manually. Every loco would have to have its own engineer and fireman shoveling coal, plus they would all need to communicate with each other (and radios didn't exist for most of steam's history). All the engineers in all of the locos would have to make adjustments on the fly. Sounds like a logistical nightmare.
The York 17? Neither, the engine was built brand new from the ground up in 2013. She is based off blue prints for the Union Pacific 119, and given numerous cosmetic changes to make it fit the part visually of a Northern Central Railway locomotive of the late 1850s into the Civil War years.
@@DynamoProductions-trains two more questions, the steam trains appear to have incandescent lamps on the front so: 1. Trains from the late 1800s had electric lights? 2. How is the electricity generated?
@@therealhardrock Steam locomotives in the 1800s commonly had headlights where an oil was burned to make a flame to produce the light, however in the late 1800s and into the 1900s, steam locomotives began to use steam driven turbines, known as a dynamo (Latin word for power - and the appliance on steam engines we derive our name from). The dynamo produces electricity which powers the headlight. Many steam engines now use the dynamo to power the in-cab radio as well.
Anyone else here because of a toddler that demanded steam trains?
no clue. but i operated one when i was kid
I bet it's most of us 🤣
Steam in 4k? Automatic click on video. Not even three minutes in and it looks like this was a big Hollywood production. Great job!
Thank you.
I agree! Some of the best cinematography I've seen on a train video! Great shots from great angles!
I grew up in Nebraska where the 4014 still rules the rails. Always said if King Kong was a bull he'd be the 4014.
Great video. Has two of my favorite steams in it. Love the WM 1309 & NW 611. They are in my top 6 favorite steam locomotive's. Also like the NW 475.
Glad you enjoyed
Great job guys!🎉
I love the sound-- it's memorable and yet mournful. Could listen to this again and again.❤
Awesome video love the camera work it’s almost like a movie
I'd be interested in seeing some steam engines pulling trains.

fantastic video of the steam locomotives and trains. Thank you for showing me.
Glad you enjoyed
Awesome video! There I am at 52:57!
Glad you enjoyed
Great collection and gratz with 111k subs
Thanks
I love steam trains don't care what anybody says.
I love steam trains too👍

A few days prior to filming an employee of another tourist railroad passed away in a shop accident on the job.
Thanks!@@DynamoProductions-trains
OK that is not bad it's amazing :)
That wouldn't happen to be a Southern railway ps4 whistle on 1309 in the clip on helmsetters curve would it?
No, New York Central.
Hello, amazing video. Could I use 3 seconds of this video in a music videoclip?
Music video is fine, just give credit
@@DynamoProductions-trains Thanks man! I will!
So why does the Western Maryland train have Diesel locomotives on the back instead of a caboose for historical accuracy?
Diesel helps on the grade and leads the train back. Also there’s not much historically accurate about a Mallet pulling passenger cars yet here we are.

@@therealhardrock Skill, training, and whistle signals to communicate. And only one engine would control the train brakes.

Lovely and nostalgic. Was it supposed to be an amusement ride?
Which one?
@@DynamoProductions-trains I thought, every ride in the video.
These are heritage railroads

I can't wait until we return to making this form of travel normal across America - but with less coal smoke.
44:11 what’s that little wind up looking tying?
Thing😂😂😂😂

is this from civil war or Wild West?

14:39 is that fire in the undercarriage normal?
That engine does that when it’s working hard.
