Very impressive and enjoyable footage of steam power operations of the B&O, C&O and N&W railroads, it's always great to see footage of the steam era and especially the large articulated power used by these railroads.
Very interesting. I have a deep-seated passion for trains and railroads that stems back to my childhood, and while I may be a millennial who spends most of his time in front of a computer, I would gladly give that up if it meant I could see some of these steam locomotives in action.
I wonder if the original tape is still available and could be run through a TBC to clean up the defects? Time Base Corrector adjusts each video line to begin at the same place on the left, thus cleaning up the noise. In any case, its good that people are preserving this historical footage and sharing it, thanks.
It's awesome to see rare footage containing original audio of the C&O Alleghenies' hooter whistles, which demonstrates how some of them had short-bell hooters while others had long-bell ones. Fun fact: The long-bell hooters were made by Nathan and were the same hooters used on the B&O EM-1s and some of the T-3 4-8-2s, also in the video.
You are correct. Some of the T3 Mountains on the B&O had Nathan single chime whistles just like the EM-1's did. The C&O Allegheny type had the same Nathan whistles but half of them had the small high pitched hooter whistles
The Boston and Maine ran steam until the mid 1950s. Even though I was a kid, I got to hear, see, and ride behind them. Swampscott station was near my childhood home.
7:35 reminds me of the mid-1950s. 125 car coal train traveling parallel to the NJ turnpike in Seacaucus. I had seen the train traveling faster than the vehicles on the turnpike. I was excited and pointing, and then I realized we were in a traffic jam directly over the tunnel entrance the tracks lead to. The engineer waved to me as I waved back.
@@matthewpastrikos7383 You're welcome. I don't know how they got that part wrong. The only parts that aren't dubbed in were the parts that were recorded by Fred McLeod

Thank you for posting the video. I have never seen video footage of the c&o Allegheny class steam locomotives.

@@joemalone6923 Imagine listening to a long bell hooter and thinking "this isn't annoying enough, chop it down"
@trainknut Right? I have always wondered why some of the Allegheny type had that type of whistle

Love the P7 they bring back memories of my HO Mantua Pacifics I use to own.
Love these movies
Is it me or did this Y6B at 30:24 and the Class A at 32:20 had different whistles instead of a usual hooter?
The footages are silent, so they put Sound Effects on it
@@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702 Well that explains it.
It was dubbed in but they got the sound wrong there
@@joemalone6923 I suppose that makes sense, thanks.

Great job on the time frame for prr
Mister. This is THEE Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Not the Pennsy.
Love the video. Also the game show music from the 70's.
thanks for the footage mate. great historical stuff
16:23 "The Virginian's monster 2-[Mute]-[Mute]-2's" Bruh did they just censored the 10 two times? HOW?!
This is a VHS it gets some glitches when it's old
Yep. Thanks for telling me this.
Yeah that'd just be the audio cutting out in this case, seems like this particular film is _really_ worn out.
Wait was that 475 i saw with a diamond stack with a old style headlight and leading a triple header? Whats the story behind that?
475, 405, and 449
The n&w made it look like a locomotive from the 1800’s for the diamond jubilee of Roanoke, Va. The next month it pulled the excursion
Very very splendid footage..
Yes And Thank You I Think Steam And Diesel ON The Pennsylvania Railroad Altoona Area Volume 1 Next
Ahhh yess what life was like before graffiti love it
you found the big engines wanna restore them.
This is one you’d asked for
@@RustyDreamsGarage kinda and i ment from Green Frog Productions .
I get it, steam had to be replaced, but why of our all factories. Out BH.
