I live near former Boston and Maine and Maine Central tracks that were bought by Pan Am and now CSX so I consider this my railroad heritage (through CSX), and it makes me feel connected to 3985 without ever seeing her in person.

Grew up in port jeff my whole life. Took the train many times and used to hang out in the woods right near the tracks.

MP15's running regular passenger service. Only in Long Island

My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 especially F Units like those he thinks they along with E units are highly underrated and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service pulling and pushing passengers and freight. He also thinks that Progress Rail, Siemens, or any other company that builds railroad equipment should build full size working replicas of F Units and E units with updated features like recycled ♻️ aluminum bodies and frames, LED headlights, ditch lights and strobe light, Cummins and Caterpillar genset diesel motors that run on biodiesel or renewable diesel with mufflers and catalytic converters, Plexiglas and safety glass windows 🪟 , head end power.

What happened to #1271

I wonder what happened to cn 3254 and her whistle

I hope C&O 614 gets restored

Funny how no one comments this video for him only that guy who commented 1mo ago and btw, i saw your channel description just how old are you now?

Always reverse the polarity on the drive axles to prevent Lock ups on drive wheels. By rolling back. That's the scientific view point . Harvard rules!! Any one here with a degree from any Ivey league schools ??

Before railfanning was cool

8:26 I use that whistle as my personal wake-up alarm.

Incredible sound. I climb up here every few months when I get the chance, would've loved to have seen the days of Pennsy and Big Blue here. Thanks for an incredible video!

2:56 I love seeing 1225 run at that speed, sick and tired of seeing her running slow from Owosso to Alma in back!

Erie tracks; Reading whistle, C&O locomotive, and an NJT consist. C&O 614 is one of the few locomotives I can think of that looks just as good on foreign rails pulling modern equipment as she does in home territory on the C&O/Chessie.

Chesapeake & Ohio 614 running along the mainline back in the spring of 1997 while pulling the Erie Limited.

Mighty fine job buddy.I love it when a plan comes together. And it's better than bashing passenger trains too! 😆🤣😂

Wow

6:27 El Nostálgico Silbato de CN 3254

would a steam engine carry this train,

Great video!

It's always a good day when you post!

Awesome Catches

where was that at 2:33

At that time, ALTO, AR and MO were still controlling traffic - and on occasion MG when a track was out of service for whatever reason. Thanks for posting this series.

Excellent! I truly appreciate you sharing these wonderful moments in history. Great story telling here too.

6:27

Union Pacific- *Builds Challengers* Other railroads- TAKE NOTE PEOPLE, TAKE NOTES

1:13 This sound effect is used in So much Super Mario media, like Double Dash, Sunshine, Mario Party 9, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and 2, etc.!

6:27 Mario Kart Double Dash’s Barrel train!

the thing thats cool about this train is that it has the most overused train whistle

Ah, the 80s. When men were men!

3:02 8:01 8:06 8:25

What kind of locomotive is leading the train that passes? With the offset horn on the engineers side?

I was on that train. What a blast!

One of my favorite videos of yours. I find the date ironic since it (4/1/86) was the 10 year anniversary of Conrail's creation.

Hard to believe he just lets this locomotive sit outside in the elements with all the jacketing on it. What a shame! What a shame!

I hope the creator of these movies is still at it. The shot locations were excellent, well away from the whistle blow-zone. I like the sound of the engines and boilers. The whistle from a distance is filled with romance, close up it's overwhelming and annoying. Monster passenger train, 30 cars. I know a bit of the railroads around Huntington, WV. The rails run along the Ohio River and the gradients approach 0%. I don't think it would take much of a hill to stall that locomotive with that train.

GREAT AWSPME CATCHES AND VIDEO WITH NICE WHSTLE ACTION TOO OF UP 3985 PULLING THIS SANTA TRAIN NUBERD AS 676 TO PULL THIS TRAIN ON THE CLINCHFIELD NICE WHSTLE ACTION TOO

Born and raised in Northport, the old spur was literally 500 ft from my house on Pine Hill Ct. rode the PJ Line alot as a kid and even paced the the WBs out of ENP.

The early to mid 90’s was a heck of time to be a little kid. I got to see 3985 come through Cincinnati on the way to go do this Santa train. Rode behind 611 up and down the old N&W Peavine from Cincinnati to Portsmouth(missed school the next day because my eyes were glued shut from all the cinders.) Stood on the walkway of an old control tower on the C&O bridge coming into Cincinnati while came through when she was painted up at C&O 2765( in place of 2716). The southbound freight that passed before scarred me to death with all the vibration the diesels caused. When 765 came through everything was as smooth as glass, very little vibration. Everything changed after Amtrak and CSX changed their policies on insurance and age of equipment, but for about 5-7 years in the late 80’s and early 90’s vintage steam reigned supreme.

so steep even the trucks on the road are struggling

Very amazing infrastructure in the US

0:07 K&L Trainz N&W 611 Whistle

Full head of steam, loaded consist and a clear track to Ashville, annihilaing Saluda grade in the process, 611 was a real beast in the 90s.

0:01 0:20 1:13 8:18 CN 3254’s old 5 Chime

Was that bridge towards the end the one before the grade to Saluda?😊

I used to see a N&W run through Harrisburg NC each time Norfolk Southern have a steam excursion

If you close your eyes, you might just hear 4449.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not bother to read my detailed notes. For all you armchair power-desk geniuses that think that you have all the answers, let me repeat my original comments. THERE WAS NO HELPER AVAILABLE AT ALTOONA. THE CREW WAS TOLD TO PROCEED AS FAR AS THEY COULD. THEY WERE FULLY EXPECTED TO STALL. THIS WAS NOT A MISCALCULATION. Now go play with your Lego locomotives, or watch Thomas, and leave the railroading to the professional railroaders. Better yet, go work on your reading comprehension.
