Great video! I love that steam locomotive and its whistle! And the music that played, during the ride, I remember hearing that same music in "I Love Toy Trains".
Just to let everyone know, I was just on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad website and the #1702 will return to operate excursions this summer! The first date for #1702 is July 22.
Fantastic Video and this IS the Whistle she wore that I love! That is a Great Whistle! Don't what type or who made it but it's spectacular! Far better than the whistle she carried since her return the Southern PS4. They only sound good on large locos like the Royal Hudson, 2716, and 611. Yes I'm aware 2716 mostly wore a IC Whistle and 611 a Handcock but a few trips they slapped a PS4 on them.
Glad I got to ride in her cab this year! I also got to help stoke the boiler, put water into the injectors and sand the flues under the guidance of Fireman Tony Franklin and Engineer Dale Spivey.
Awesome Video and locomotive! 1702 sure has a lovely whistle! What was the music used toward the middle and end of the video? I remember hearing it on the VHS tape "I love toy trains".
@@nssteampunk4865 Are you associated with GSMR? I used to grow up hanging out around the depot back in the 90's, would love to ask about a few folks up there!
I do not work with the crew members. When I went back in 2016 I memorized who worked several positions and I became familiar with the employees there. I do volunteer work at the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway and the Ohio Railway Museum
Something I realized after all this time playing TSW is that UK Steam Locomotives are extremely simple to control in comparison to North American steam. The Scottsman[RiP Allen Peglar] has a reverser that you turn right or left. It has one throttle/regulator that you don’t have to pump over and over again(You just pull to open, push to close). Even the brakes are simple. One locomotive brake, and no stupid extra steam brake separate from the main air brakes(just a combination brake system). LNER had the right idea when ordering the A class locomotives. They valued Simplicity more than any other railway. It’s funny how EMD makes the Class 66, which was an extremely simple design with only a handful of steps needed to get it moving, but the SD40-2 requires you to jump through hurdles just to get it started. A century and a half of making our own locomotives, and we are still making them as difficult to operate as a Helicopter.

I the this locomotive was in the movie the property is condemed.This locomotive has been operated on different railroads.I have to say this is a very big 2-8-0 locomotive.Does anybody know were the 722 locomotive is still around?
gabriel bauman yes I heard they started 722's restoration on July 22 or 7/22 but when 1702 broke down they had to start work on repairing 1702 but there back on restoring 722 but 1702 has top priority in the steam shop
I remember seeing this as a kid. I have been looking for this footage for years. Is there any chance that there is a full video of this for sale? Great job!
I love her Illinois central 6 chime ! What ever happened to her Illinois central 6 chime? Did they sell it to a railroad or did they store it in their workshop
When there was a camera video view of the train coming towards The camera Was the train following another train? Or was it a really smooth telescoping lens?
+Austin Anders They just got finished with Riveting last month! I also heard that they plan to use the money 1702's excursions to restore 722. What I'm also hoping is that Norfolk Southern becomes partners with the Railroad so 1702 can participate in their 21st Century Steam Program.
I think Lycanrocboi 33 was talking about the younger generation. And they would be right. I just hope there are enough that will learn how and continue to maintain these old locomotives. Today's kids would rather spend their time protesting.
Oh the younger generation would go bananas seeing these steam engines still roaming around since this engine is still active in 2019. "Greenhouse gases" blah, sorry, not wasting my time with that BS. I am more worried about the present, not tomorrow and I enjoy stuff like this.
I had this DVD when I was a little kid. It was one of the railroad movies that inspired me to start filming trains on my own.
This here isn't 2005, 2013 or 2015 footage. This, my friend is 1992 Old School GSRJ!
Wow
Wait what was the dvd called? I used to watch it to
01:05 I love that train whistle on this locomotive!!
Man this video brings back so many memories.
Awesome video! GSMR 1702 on a freight is just simply amazing! Look foward to seeing her operate in the future.
Good old 1702 is getting restored. I went to the GSMR in 2004 when I was just 4 years old. I got to see 1702 in service and got to ride on the train.
GSMR 1702 is back in service back in 2016
Such a cool video! I grew up in the Dillsboro depot, rode that steam engine many times as a young boy :) I was a very lucky kid!
That is an amazing footage! Thanks so much for sharing! Beautiful steam engine, too. Cheers!
Great video! I love that steam locomotive and its whistle! And the music that played, during the ride, I remember hearing that same music in "I Love Toy Trains".
Holy crap, I'm 15 right now, and I remember watching these videos! Oh my gosh the memories!!!!
Brought tears to my eyes for some reason!
The song that they used was called old no 7

White kind of lever is that to blow the whistle? 3:57 I think they used that kind of lever on nkp 765

Lucky you. I wish I could do that.
We’re not gonna talk about how amazing 1702 looks here?
The draft horse at 5:20 said "I'm outta here!"
I think that is Gregg Dodd at the throttle. He has since passed and his son Steve is now living in Atlanta.

AmtrakGuy365 1702 then wore a 1999 Southern Ps4 whistle (it got stolen in 2016) and given a Rizzoli Bros. Southern Ps4 whistle in July 2016

Went on that trip a couple years back. All the way from England and we a diesel! Oh well...
holly crap look at the train bounce around on the track. I bet the crew had to contend with whiplash lol
Does anyone else know if there are anymore locomotives that have a IC 6 chime?

The light at the end of the tunnel really was a train lolol!
Great video. looks like it was complicated running a steam engine.

1:29 3:07 3:56 4:02 4:36 5:34 GSMR 1702’s ICRR 3 Chime is my favorite Whistle
2:08 Who Remembers This Song From I Love Toy Trains?
I was born long after the golden age of railroading. Makes me a bit sad.
what is the name of the song
Carolina Trains old No. 7
The artists name is Network music Ensemble for the old no 7 song.
1:05 which chime whistle is this
SP 6 chime
The whistle was not a SP 6 Chime whistle surprisingly, it was a rare Illinois Central 6 Chime put on 1702 when she worked on the Reader Railroad.

Locomotive 1702 a 2-8-0 Consolidation was build in 1942.
Jack Salvin the engine turned 75 in 2017
Of course.
plus it was built for US Army during World War ll
1:29 *A SWEET NOISE!!*
Hopefully freight will be returning soon to these parts.
Bro had this same dvd when i was a kid to
Cut for time: Farmer is killer when runaway horse pulls plow over him.
Wish GSMR still ran the freight too.
1:31 lovely Whistle tbh

I sat in the engineer's seat of #1702 this past summer
?
i remember it from some video I watched as a kid which also had "Southern" 604 (BC&G 4)
1702, I believe, was a fixture many years before at Arkansas' Reader Railroad.
Keith Brenton Indeed it was, Reader #1702. ^^
She was featured on "This Property is Condemned" and "Boxcar Bertha"
I love her Illinois central 6 chime !
What ever happened to her Illinois central 6 chime? Did they sell it to a railroad or did they store it in their workshop
Man I miss it too. Gettysburg's former Missisipian #76 had a similar sounding whistle to what 1702 has herr
Wait gettysburg 76 had a whistle that sounded just like it?! :D
I just watched a vid and its a 100% ic 6 chime bro :D thats what it sounds like
@@ToritheGSMR1702-mz3rc it sure did... but I think it was a Santa Fe 6 actually
@@ToritheGSMR1702-mz3rc 1702 had an IC 6... not sure about 76
The locomotive also made an appearence in a baby dvd known as " brillaint baby learn sounds" with his ps4 whistle

When there was a camera video view of the train coming towards The camera Was the train following another train? Or was it a really smooth telescoping lens?
Thanks for your question. We were pacing from a train ahead of the Steam engine filming back at them.
She hasn't sounded the same since that whistle disappeared
Didn't realize it was oil fired, even back then.
I was here last month. According to the engineer they plan on having 1702 back up and running in less than a year!

What happened to the Illinois 6 chime
I want to know
Who was the engineer?
1:28 there’s a ROBLOX whistle
Like at Dollywood blow that whistle
Loved to have had Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train in the background.......
I love video, but the I just wish it didn’t have that weird harmonica music
That was music from back in 1991...
Videography is very good, but to my ear, the music doesn't add any value. Sorry.

That horse looks like it’s been stump broke by a train
It's a 2 8 0
