Hear the steam powered turbogenerator firing up at 6:58 ? The headlight subsequently lights up from the electricity generated by the turbogen - probably a Pyle National make turbogen
Listen to how quiet steam power is while it is at rest. I'll take that over the obnoxious drone of our modern diesels at any speed at any day! Also, welcome back 1630, we've missed you. Last time I saw her in operation was high school!
That worker may be not properly trained never place knee on rail when hooking up brake line.Stand with bending but where you can jump away in case of accidental start up..Wow that engine is way bigger than it looks going down track I love this engine.
9:11 it sounds like it got something in its throat.
Lol

Let's hear it for the 2015 season!
Awesome camera work, 1630 sure looks and sound good, glad the IRM crew has her running so good.
I love steam trains thank you so much!
0:00-0:06 sounds like it's breathing
Those are some small driving wheels
This type of engine was used mostly for freight service, smaller wheels=more torque.
52" drivers
