Welcome to Arkansas Locomotive Works. Here on this self-run RU-vid Channel, I strive my best efforts to showcase high-quality videos of railfanning in the United States, and sometimes abroad to those who enjoy railroading videos. While the main focus here is to showcase real railroads, I also enjoy producing model railroading videos, and Trainz Simulator videos as more of an off-topic subject here but will still show up every now and then. Please subscribe to stay updated on all of my railroading experiences!
14:35 I was there that day I have to say this was a great experience to see 2816 for the first time in person I went to the event I got to meet the engineer and fireman and I chased the 2816 from Shreveport Louisiana down to Sugarland Texas next to the old imperial Sugar plant Here are two links to my two videos of seeing and chasing the Empress CPKC 2816 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-crEULZjy_qU.htmlsi=4rXQJkTYzssLLgZ_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F7nlf6HktCM.htmlsi=NDGamB5ybZ-Cmrao
Gorgeous train ride. My question, as an eastern European, when it's called narrow gauge, is it just like European narrow gauge? It seems to be an awfully big train compared with our narrow gauge trains. I know that American standard gauge and Euro are the same width. Secondly, are the two locomotives really needed on that route (because of steepness) or is it just for safety? I know nothing about railways, but I'm a fan.
There's many different narrow gauges. The essential definition of "narrow gauge" is stuff that's less wide than standard gauge. And the two engines are needed to properly go up the steep hills and mountains.
I encourage everyone to support New Mexico Heritage Rail, because even though they aren't able to run 2926 on the mainline yet, their events are still great and they have lots of other projects they need to work on. And when this 4-8-4 pulls her first mainline excursion, it will be one of if not the biggest steam events of the year that it happens!
They should do an Around the World in 80 Days event on the Durango & Silverton with the 315 as the Jupiter and actors playing characters from the movie
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🛤🚋 especially steam locomotives 🚂 like those he says that a man by the name of Steve Poole once said: "When a steam locomotive gets underway it looks and sounds like nothing else that's why many people love them even though they are getting pretty old". And he agrees with him on that completely!
