She is a truly beautiful steam locomotive. A suruvior of days now long past, 765 is more alive than ever. Beautiful whistle. I appreciate the time and effort of this production, very well done on all fronts.
This is one of the best steam locomotive films I've seen in a long time! The engine starting up almost sounds like cannons going off! Talk about raw power! Great vid!
Incredible invention. Its amazing how just 2 pistons can lug all that weight like it’s nothing. That whistle would sound amazing on a huge stereo system to annoy the neighbors.
765's exhaust chuffs sound like gunshots, echoing around the surrounding hills. What an amazing sight to behold, and I imagine it was far more exhilarating in person!
Thank you for including the startup. I got to see this beast several times in the fall, back in the 80’s and 90’s. I still remember feeling that thump in my chest when it started moving again. Also the whistle was absolutely haunting on dark fall night.
This is probably the best steam locomotive video I've come across. Well composed with scenes taken from optimal vantage points surrounded by luscious green foilage. That first view with 765 starting from a dead stop was very impressive giving one the impression of actually being there. I may be wrong but I think 765 is a Pacific style locomotive with that 2-8-4 wheel arrangement. Even though 765's been a busy locomotive in excursion service I hope she comes through the Pittsburgh area in the not too distant future as it's been many a moon since we've had mainline steam in our town.
NKP 765 is a Class S-2 2-8-4 Berkshire Type steam locomotive built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1944. A 4-6-2 is a Pacific Type steam locomotive, like OR&N 197, built in 1905 by Baldwin.
A 69" driver berk is probably an ideal excursion engine. They will never allow the speed that could be achieved with 80" driver locomotives like SP 4449 and UP 844 and with the smaller drivers 765 can really dig in and pull.
Good ol American muscle and shotgun exhaust. Good job preserving this example of history FWRHS. You don't know where you're going to until you know where you've come from
This is one of the best steam locomotive videos I have ever seen. The way you were able to capture the sound is amazing. Although there are lots of videos of 765, I have been coming back to watch this particular one for over two years. Thank you for doing such a great job of documenting this locomotive and sharing your video!
I saw the NKP 765 up close and even got to go into the cabin, needing a ramp to get up there. Even a six foot tall person can stand in there comfortably. Truly a steam giant.
For those of you who have never had the experience of personally being around one of these locomotives to witness the awesome display of power these wonderful machines display, well....the first minute of this excellent video says it all !! thanks for posting this .
Same here, I can't stop watching the opening scene also. You can just feel the power of these magnificent machines, and to think they were basically designed with a slide ruler.
Someone needs to take this sound and use it for model steam trains. Even expensive ones have garbage sounds from the factory. Some people to pretty good with making custom ones for the GEVO’s and other diesels, but I’ve never heard a good steam engine

Perhaps it's because the whistle sounds hearty, healthy, and triumphant, in bold defiance of its obsolescence? And it starts chugging along, still sounding strong, healthy, and triumphant.
lander4545 it’s all of it, there are so many different things going on at once, it’s hard to wrap your mind around it. It’s all amazing. It never gets old.
This is how trains should be and sound gives me chills and brings out the little boy in me and connects me to my grandfather who was an engineer for over 40 years
Awesome shots! Perfect lighting! Love this whole thing, but especially, the shot staring at 4:07, just a stunning shot! The huge smoke plume, the way they kicked on the cylinder cocks so it looks like they are going out of a fog filed river valley, priceless! Great job!
Diesel and electric locomotives have their appeal, but nothing beats steam. There are just so many moving parts and it's awesome to see them in action. Terrific video. Thank you!
Hands down Best video ive seen or heard on TH-cam yet of Steam locomotives/ the NKP 765 besides being next to it in real life.....Great job!!!! I rated and Subbed
No locomotive conveys the power of railroads quite like the steam kind. It's all those moving parts and gears, the chugging of the engine, the shrill whistle that can be heard for miles...it just doesn't get any better than this!
@@journeythroughtherails5294 No. I was just being funny. Blake Shelton is a country music star! I'm surprised you haven't heard of him! He's also a huge railfan!
MrTop5, All Steam Locomotives are referred as as Women. It makes them majestic and more stunning. Also, Pere Marquette 1225 and NKP 765 aren’t siblings. They may be under the same company, but they aren’t related.
MrTop5 see, but that’s you. People who call them Women don’t call them Big fat girls. It’s just you. They are referred as Women because they are considered Angels on the Rails.
@@journeythroughtherails5294 Engineers often call steam locomotives "she," "her," or "sister" because they are beautiful and can be highly temperamental, so an engineer told me.
Most unfortunate, since I wanted to share an embedded link of your video on another site. Edit: And yes, I think the video is awesome. It just sucks that video thieves basically mean that I can't share embedded links to your video more readily, ya know? More folks deserve to know about this high quality, professional footage you've captured, but that's just what I think.
![Behind The Scenes on a Steam Locomotive [4K]](/img/n.gif)
To this day, this video still has the most legendary shot of 765. The raw power in the opening is unlike anything else I’ve seen.
Should have talked about pere Marquette 1225 it's 765s friend
Still holds true in 2024
This and it running 70mph past the searchlights. That video is what made me a NKP 765 fan.
I agree. This is one of the best I've seen. I can't get over the sound of it starting off at the beginning. So fantastic. Wish I was there.
She is a truly beautiful steam locomotive. A suruvior of days now long past, 765 is more alive than ever. Beautiful whistle.
I appreciate the time and effort of this production, very well done on all fronts.
its male
Everyone but you unanimously agrees its a female
I swear I’m addicted to this video. NKP765 is definitely my favorite steamer

I just can't stop watching the opening scene. The sight and sound is more than perfection.
thanks, I was in the right place at the right time
Listening to it through my Jambox speaker and can just about feel it!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
765's exhaust chuffs sound like gunshots, echoing around the surrounding hills. What an amazing sight to behold, and I imagine it was far more exhilarating in person!
Totally agreed. I keep coming back to this video repeatedly! I see a few thumbs down. Who could possibly not like this?
The unions would give this a thumbs down since this icon of the past is a threat to the union operated diesels! : )

Pacific type locomotive is a 4-6-2 a berkshire is what the 765 is a 2-8-4.

I cannot even put into words how amazing that first scene is 😱
I could watch this over and over. audio sounds great with headphones.
Same here I think I gave more that 60 views already
This has to be the best-sounding video I've found of a steam locomotive. Amazing!!!
All videos should start out this way. Awesome! You can just hear and feel the power of this beautiful, magnificent machine!

I have to say, that watching steam locomotives in action is more exciting than the diesel/electrics
One of the best opening scenes I have ever watched
Dig that chug chug when she first starts off
Same here sound was so pure and good it gave me goosebumps! I love it! The sound the sight gave me andrealine
@@mattmatty4670 Dig in the whistle as well!
Would definitely like to see more of those.
This is absolutely insane!
The very first time I heard this beast, I felt it on my soul!
I'm in 2020 and I still love locomotives
Man... this is amazing. What a sound? I love that. Thanks a lot for your video. Greetings from Rondonia State (Brazil)
I could watch this all day and night and still not get bored
I watch it practically every night before going to sleep, it's what helps me sleep soundly.
Between the whistling off, the shotgun exhaust and the way this beautiful creature of iron and rivets glided into motion. I'm speechless!
I totally agree! That looks like a Gillig Phantom bus in your profile picture! TriMet in Portland, Oregon had a bunch of those. They've been retired.

What a time to be alive, when scenes like this were common across America!
she just spent 2 days going back and forth thru my town!!!! Goshen, IN, I was in train heaven!!!!! I just love that beast!!!! Come back soon!!!!!!!!!

A perfect video! 765 speaks for herself quite well! A perfect soundtrack for model railroading.
IIn my opinion This is by far the best video of the 765! fantastic job man!
Ioi.. hh no lo se si no
Watch her pull the Joliet Rocket without a diesel at 70mph. Amazing to see her do what she was built for there.
I wish that these locomotives where oftenly still used today, I have been obsessed with these trains since I first watched The Polar Express 😂😂😂
Anyone else love that the back up engine is a classic in and of itself?
That is such an awesome sound when those big steam engines first take off
its the best part
@@dferg100 you know that's the best part sound so cool
SUPERB VIDEO RECORDING AFTER COVID LOCKDOWN WE LIKE STEAM ENGINE SOUNDS IT'S HEART TOUCHING SOUND 🚂🚂🚂🚂
To my late grandfather, this video is for you!!❤❤❤❤
The true power and beauty of 765 is best shown in this video, I love all of it!

I Love Every American Steam Locomotives the Most
Why am I tearing up watching this train blow it's whistle and start jugging along?
Perhaps it's because the whistle sounds hearty, healthy, and triumphant, in bold defiance of its obsolescence?
And it starts chugging along, still sounding strong, healthy, and triumphant.
For me, it's scenery, the rushing of the blower, the whistle, and the triumphant chug, chug, chug, chug.
lander4545 it’s all of it, there are so many different things going on at once, it’s hard to wrap your mind around it. It’s all amazing. It never gets old.
Can't dry my eyes to, the power of it!
Because 'Merica!
Love it, but I was watching the end and the diesel looked like to me "REALLY IAM IN THE BACK." Love that start up!
THE OPENING SCENE IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Milepost One Media that’s what I liked and that Straight up exhaust sounding like a shot gun blow your ear drums out
I know, right?! She sounds like a racehorse waiting anxiously for the race to start. 😁

I do not know why I love the chuffing sound of steam locomotives, but it's simply music to my ears. Steam engine chugging sounds are magnificent!

Great video! I hope NKP 765 can come all the way to Portland, Oregon (where I'm from), someday! I've always wanted to see NKP 765!
The opening scene was so beautiful, i used it for my profile pic!
I love the awesome sound of this loco, excellent quality, well done.
Holy crap, that was THE MOST AWESOME video i hav seen in a very long time on this website
This is how trains should be and sound gives me chills and brings out the little boy in me and connects me to my grandfather who was an engineer for over 40 years
Sounds almost like poppet valves! Lovely crisp exhaust.
There is no sound more free than this whistle and that echo.
Best sounding train whistle I've ever heard next to N&W J 611.
@@mattjohnston7686 I Agree !

Wonderful sight and sound. A murrain on the diesel at the back!!!
WOW!!!! Quite possibly THE best NKP 765 video I've ever seen!!
Probably the best video of steam I've seen on youtube. That was awesome!
Excellent camera angles and sound.
Oh my goodness, that whistle. It reminds me a lot of 765 back in the 80's and early 90's, and I LOVE IT.
765 was great in WV with a N&W freight whistle attached. It sounded like 121 on that run. It was pretty neat.
Awesome shots! Perfect lighting! Love this whole thing, but especially, the shot staring at 4:07, just a stunning shot! The huge smoke plume, the way they kicked on the cylinder cocks so it looks like they are going out of a fog filed river valley, priceless! Great job!

The echo of the whistle & the venting of the steam made it even better!
