Probably the most entertaining near 50 minutes on TH-cam. This video really shows how a steam locomotive is "alive". There was a time when this was the best technology, a controlled fire heating water to make steam that could pull many rail cars long distances, that fact amazes me. I don't care where this train went, or what time of the year, it was just entertaining to see it in action.
Ah, yes. The size of such a gallant engine, the clanging of the bell, and the wail of the whistle. Its amazing seeing a steam locomotive in proper working order, and its another thing to get a cab view, essentially. A beautiful engine, indeed, even if the weather wasn't the best. Great video
Hearing the whistle when it's releasing steam is just magical and to know that this thing has lived a long life and still on the tracks in it's full glory
That's why this looked familiar! Right where i live! That Walmart actually brings back moments when it was there. It's gone now. The train ride is closed until summer 2022.
incredible. I'm using this as a mix I am making for a train board game. For personal use only of course. Mixed with some blue grass instrumental music. Really makes the game magical!
First off this locomotive is of the 2-8-0 driver arrangement. The middle two drivers are flangeless allowing it to run on tight radius track. That could be why it is slipping on wet rail. The lead and rear axles are the only ones doing the work. And If I miss my guess there is a helper diesel on the rear end just in case the engine stalls along the way. Just my opinion here.
funny you say that, but oak ridge isn't that far away from Knoxville. also not many people like to get out in the rain, it been raining a good bit for past few days from the looks of it.
Some additional fun facts from a local. The Walmart to the right of the tracks at the beginning of the video has since closed, and the Neyland Drive crossing by the stadium used to be well-known for wrecking cyclists until they re-aligned the bike lane to cross at a more perpendicular angle. Here's four solid minutes of bikes wiping out on those tracks... th-cam.com/video/YfeQvbIFBks/w-d-xo.html
Soo, If there isn't a steam engine, them the bikes can have a normal crossing. Blind drivers (the trains wheels) are driving wheels without a flange to hold them on the track. Blind drivers are also wider in order to stay on the rails as the engine turns. They allow the steam engine to take curves, blind drivers give the ability to take a corner where with normal drive wheels you couldn't because they want to stay straight.
@@mikeythesoulace No. This locomotive was probably built be for lateral motion devices were invented. And it was common to have driving wheels that didnt have a flange on them. I've even seen 6 wheeled locomotives with a driving axle minus the flanges
@@mikeythesoulace The other wheels have flanges. Plus the wheel are machined to were the ride the rails in such a way as to not need the flanges for going around light curves.
And this is why you aren’t in charge of this locomotive, you want people to freak out and sue NS for that? It may seem funny in your head but think about how people would react? Kids screaming adults panicking and threatening to sue, and the conductor is just have a ‘good ol time’ knowing that it’s just a joke, I’ll just say it now, you’re a messed up person for wanting to do that.
@@mochicappuchino8570 Geez. Get a grip! Have you no sense of humor? Years ago when my family and I were taking the train to the Grand Canyon halfway there we were attacked by gun firing men on horseback. The train stopped and they boarded and pretended to rob us. We all thought it was great fun. Especially the kids. Shall we ban ghost stories around the campfire as being too traumatizing too? Maybe you should go to your safe space and suck your thumb a while.

Train Simulator 2021 looks awesome
Are you stupid? This is real!
@@deleteddeleted172 it's a joke
LOL
This unironically is ASMR for me
Great video love the camera angles. Just like your are sitting in the fireman’s seat. Also love the stack talk!

Beautiful!! Need more of this 😎
Thanks very much for videoing, editing & sharing 🔥
This is just so relaxing. I’m definitely becoming a train driver in the future
Didnt even know you could put this many ads on a video
Really ruins it.
Ad Block helps
This video is the definition of ASMR.
Anyone else thought the train was driving on the road
Bc it's actually next to a road at the first. I'm from Knoxville Tennessee where that is at
I like the NKP 765 on the intro. Also Ve road this train last year for my birthday.
Because the thumbnail looks like the loco is driving on the road, I think this video will be a huge hit!
lol that is why I opened this video
It’s doing a polar express😂

Very cool video. How do you not have 1 million sub's? Good stuff.
I love southern railway 154's 3 chime at 7:56. Her 3 chime is so cool!
good sounding whistle
nice video... it's amazing train.👍☺
That 3 Chime on 154 sounds epic!
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Thanks for the ride.I enjoyed it..
I love the video, I am just confused the route it took. Seems like no one was there to appreciate it lol. Empty lots and what have you
Amazing to see these iron horses at 75 mph, the speed of the mechanics is awesome, this is too slow though.
Amazing sound.
Well, track speed is 15 mph and this engine can only do about 40 mph.
Thumbnail confused me for a moment and made me think it was a traction engine
Nice Crosby 3 chime! I thought it was a baldwin 3 chime but good Crosby 3 chime non the less.

We love it here in K-town, don’t we?
The steam locomotive's drivin with the cars!!
Never thought I’d have to call a train filmer a clickbait bastard but here we are.
I rode this it's in Knoxville Tennessee
Not a complaint, but it's almost surreal how few people there are in this, even on the roads. Knoxville looks like it was hit by a neutron bomb.
funny you say that, but oak ridge isn't that far away from Knoxville. also not many people like to get out in the rain, it been raining a good bit for past few days from the looks of it.
seems to be a fairly clean burning engine
That depends on the fuel and the fireman knowing what he is doing.
@@charlesgreathouse7376 I'm not an engineer, but, I also understand that cleaning the chimney regularly helps cut down on the smoke as well.

George: Railways are no good turn them into roads
Me: trains are no good turn them into cars lol
My 1/8 scale 10 wheeler (4-6-0) has flanges on all drivers and can negotiate a minimum 32” radius curve.
This is Awesome! :-D
Nice cam work!!
Cool Steam Train.
Super Video. 🇮🇳
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. wow any railfans video ths train from the outside?
Click the link in the video description.
ok thanks@@DelayInBlockProductions
The csx locomotives on the right, what are they?

Anybody got a time stamp for the wheel slip?
Hey, at about 31:00 rain has started and slipping going on.
15:50
What function do the connecting rods located between the wheels under the boiler perform?
Nice.
Is that train 🚂 a passenger or freight train 🚂?
tired of all the damn liberty mutual commercials
I live in Knoxville
Same
go vols
I for sure want to get a seat at that steak house!!!
luved it!!
what is the loud buzzing noise we hear while the locomotive is stationary?
I believe that’s the dynamo. -Drayton
Nice ride!
Great video lad.
The fist drive wheel looks as if it has no flange as the second looks to be nearly big enough to do the job.
Isn't that still dangerous?
@@mikeythesoulace
No. This locomotive was probably built be for lateral motion devices were invented. And it was common to have driving wheels that didnt have a flange on them. I've even seen 6 wheeled locomotives with a driving axle minus the flanges
@@animal16365How does the wheel not derail without a flange?
@@mikeythesoulace
The other wheels have flanges. Plus the wheel are machined to were the ride the rails in such a way as to not need the flanges for going around light curves.
I noticed that also
Is that a Baldwin 3 chim steam whistle?
I thought it was a baldwin 3 chime to.
But great Crosby 3 chime anyway.
Hell of a spot for a Walmart
It closed at the end of March

Do the middle drivers not have flanges? I've seen that on model trains but not full size before
Gainesville Midland 2-10-0’s had blind drivers as well
Yes, blind drivers for curves
let them hear your voice ol'girl!!
Halfway across the big bridge they should have stopped and announced the engine had broken down and they were stuck.

Did CSX already sell those Genset's or are they in storage there?
According to the latest roster I could find on the CSX Locomotives Facebook page, all Gensets are off the roster.
Why is that? @@dave6695
@@BenMatchett I second that question.
@@BenMatchett they do not work.
Can you be more specific on why they don’t work please?
why are you all complaining about ads? just get an adblock extension and be done with it -.-
Is it me or the camera but it looks like there is no wheel flanges on the two drivers on the left side.
yea i noticed that too the front pare of drivers don't appear to have flanges
When was this filmed
East Tennessee Railfan December 2018
Ok thanks
Where are the flanges on the wheels???
How did you get it so you can put FBI warnings on your videos?
Dose this locomotive still run??
Every December.
wth that walmart has an amusement park right next to it?! im jealous
18:15 south GAY street
Immature
You plan on doing this for the big boy?
No

It would have to be a private train !
So would I.
never heard the whistle of a train so much!!!!!!!!!! :(

i think it was low on sand, the wheels were slipping
The frequency of the whistle is a b.
Listen closely. It actually has 3 pitches. 😊
@@cellogirl11rw55 i just had my guitar at hand and b was the fist note that fitted :D
13 ADS!?!?!?!?!?!
That's The part I didn't like at all.
IT Looks like a Australia train is it one
Tennessee
Nope
14:03 is driving on road
Why can't steam trains go any faster?
think it gotta do how much steam it can produce for it to go. look it up lol.
idk
This is driver choice
Why is the locomotive travelling on such a slow speed?
Bad Rails, Speed limit, risk of wheelslip
Choose some or all ;)
Bald driver in the middle, no rim...Must have been made as a switcher for tight clearances..
My impression was that the engineer would be better served giving correct and precise crossing signals rather than working on his whistle artistry
What's with all the CSX engines?
Storage units.
