I keep coming back to your videos. Just amazing in their realism and historical accuracy. Helps bring the Curve in its heyday a lot more clarity, both literally and figuratively. Damn fine work.
Nice graphics. Almost looked like a colorized old film reel. Just one nit to pick though: Pennsylvania Railroad was unique, some would say peculiar, in the use of first generation diesels. As Don Ball Jr. noted in The Pennsylvania Railroad 1940's-1950's, Page 144, the PRR didn't mix diesel types even from the same builder. So your EMD F unit lashups of F3 and F7 diesels would not have been used in this manner. David R. Sweetland wrote, in the Introduction to Robert J. Yanosey's Pennsy Diesel Years, Vol. 3 (Page 3), that this practice of matching diesel classes continued until 1962!
The casual observer probably wouldn't notice as all Long Island steam locomotives at this time were PRR models in the H, G and K classes. On the other hand, LIRR ran north on its namesake island and the connection with the PRR was through Penn Station New York; strictly electrified territory. A LIRR steam engine would have to be towed with no fire through that area.
How many trains a day did HSC see at that time? Do we know? This seems like the activity of several hours compressed down to something reasonable for youtube.

Nice lash ups and helpers!!!
I am gobsmacked , these vids are breathtaking !! Well done !!
Stunning graphics.
Very nice job. I like how you put the fictional FG-1 in the video. It's such an amazing engine.

love the realism
Very nicely done.
Very well done I must say!
I love the Pennsy!
Y’know. K&L Trainz rereleased both the PRR K4 and the PRR L1.
y'know this video is 5 years old. Steve is a good friend of course I know.
Imagine what it’d be like if LIRR Steam Engines ran on the PRR Horseshoe Curve too!

What's with the constant dynamo sound? its like there's a locomotive idling right behind the camera.
Because there is. There used to be a siding to a small coal mine branch right on hsc. There is an engine sitting behind the camera 🤣
Wow!!!
Super cool!!!
I love those smoking Alcos.
nice mix of freight car roads. You must have researched it well.
Where'd you get the map from?
8:15 FG1 Cameo nice.
Hey, your back!
i never left. i just have a real life thats better than trainz.
@@jcalmx Good to here your still around.
How many trains a day did HSC see at that time? Do we know? This seems like the activity of several hours compressed down to something reasonable for youtube.
at this time. HSC had about 250 - 300 trains a day
Where did you get the engines at 2:30?
i think trainz forge
what map is?
What game is that and can I get it on steam?
Route?
no?
how about asking using a complete sentence, and maybe saying please. like a civilized human
Is the route available or is it private?@@jcalmx
@@skibidirizzlernissan no its not available, I created it and its private
Ah @@jcalmx
it's pretty good tbh@@jcalmx
Dam i thought this was real XD
Some diesel action in addition to steam locomotives, that’s a first.
hows that a first? this is how the late 40's and early 50's were
@@jcalmx what I mean is, your previous Trainz videos set on the PRR did not feature any diesels.
11:20 Here’s PRR I1sa
Passenger trains do go fast up or down horseshoe curve!,
