    I’ve had the opportunity to ride the GSMR a few times, but never under steam. Thanks for sharing

      Awesome! I hope someday you are able to ride behind the steam locomotive.

    Terrific video --1702 has never looked better. Great production -- one gets a real sense of the operation. Inspiring message for "cooped-up" railfans everywhere. Steam lives!

    Well done...I hate that it basically takes a nap on the return trips but whenever they eventually get this turntable stuff done, I'm sure that will change. Great job!

      Thank you! Yeah it’ll be better to see it lead both directions.

    The locomotive was built for the US army and saved from the scrapyard. It can still be seen operating on the Great Smokey Mountains railroad.

    Get 722 restored again and have her doublehead with 1702. That’ll be awesome!

      I like your idea but that might not never happen, possibly too good to be true. You really need to look in detail with funding etc.

    Also apparently the crossings at the Bryson city depo fail to action but all the other crossings ( the ones with lights and bells) work perfectly and another thing is during the trip we had to stop for a sound problem I would be appreciate if some one could tell me what is a sound problem please and thank you

    Did the train get past the train wreck from the fugitive?

      No. That would be the tuckasegee route which they haven’t run on in about a year

    Does 1702 operate at a specific time of the year?

    • @SteamZRailfan
      @SteamZRailfan  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. It runs summer, fall, and most of November/December. You can find the schedule on the website

    Why does 1702 have a new whistle instead of a old one

    • @Heisler91
      @Heisler91 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One of their shop guys built it from plans of a real Southern Railway Steptop 3 chime. Sounds much better than that other Ps4 copy.

    • @rileysanesh5203
      @rileysanesh5203 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jarrett Prince and I know why 1702 needs a new whistle because they want to change things up and so they can test it out

      That Southern Steptop 3 Chime on 1702 sounds like a PRR and CNJ 3 Chime mix altogether.
