*is this literally a 2-6-6-4 simple articulated superheated camelback? What atrocities have befallen my eyes, I crave a no. 1 to gouge my eyes out now* Yeah the design is practical but *my GOD* This is textbook on what utilitarian means
@@robertbalazslorincz8218 nah, 13 is a rear-end pusher for uphill ore drags, having almost 3 times more pounds of tractive effort than 10, who was already weaker than 11 and pre-wreck 12. 13 almost never actually pulls anything, ain't what she was made for.
3 questions: 1. Would Shady Valley exist in the present day 2. What happened to No. 1 after the narrow gauge track was constructed 3. Where did A.J Wright get all the dynamite he used?
And uhhh :) The East Tennessee & Western North Carolina, affectionately known as "The Tweetsie", was a most unusual line having both standard and narrow gauge lines on its system, which ran from Johnson City, Tennessee to Boone, North Carolina, a total of 65.3 miles, not including a 2.6 mile branch from Montezuma to Pineola. Although the standard gauge portion of the line survives to this day, the 3-foot gauge trackage was abandoned in 1950. As the train winds its way along 3-foot gauge line, we are guests in the caboose, and later on, in the cab of the little Baldwin engine. Winding through the Doe River Gorge, we're reminded of other narrow gauge lines much farther West - how lucky we are to have this record of this wonderful line. Although the narrow gauge portion of Tweetsie closed down in 1950, Engine number 12, Combine/Chair 15, and Excursion Car 11 are still in service as tourist hauler at Blowing Rock, North Carolina, also known as "The Tweetsie". As the Crew goes about their daily business, of setting out, picking up freight cars, and caring for the little Baldwin, we are treated to sights long forgotten in modern railroading. It is interesting to note from the company time table, dated October 15th 1883, that, quoting; "Through the gorge, and at all points where the rock or land slides are possible and in descending heavy grades trains must be kept under perfect control, and speeds must not exceed 6 miles per hour" end quote. And also the time table cautioned, "Trains must not under any circumstances run at a higher rate of speed than 15 miles per hour.". Have you ever seen a brakeman working his way over the tops of the cars with a brake club?
Also what he means by “Boy, I sure do love my locomotive burnt to an absolute crisp” is that 10 and 14 went to the White Pass & Yukon and died in the shop fire with no.72 and everything/everyone else in the roundhouse
I said it in the roster video, but the first song isn’t called “T H E T W E E T S I E”, rather it’s called “Walking in clover” m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vY9D8kM1yaI.html&pp=ygURd2Fsa2luZyBpbiBjbG92ZXI%3D

1:04. If you’re referring to the real town of Damascus, VA, it’s pronounced “DUH-MASS-CUS” by the locals. Nevertheless though, great video, man. The custom models are very impressive.
The Pennsylvania Railroad S1 is easily my second favorite steam locomotive and seeing a highly detailed model of it in Trainz is like a dream come true for me, even if I can't use it (1. Because it's a private model and 2. Because I have Trainz 2019)! You did a SPECTACULAR job with this locomotive and I think you should be VERY proud of your brilliant masterpiece!
We actually have a Southern 2-8-0 in New Jersey that being 385 and was used on the Morris County Central on excursions over the Morris & Essex which in turn was ex Lackawanna
A few years ago my wife and I met an American mining engineer in Cornwall (UK) and asked where he was from. He replied. "Oh a little place in Kentucky you'll not have heard of. Danville" "Really, you mean the place where Steve Broady wrecked the Southern's Fast Mail, the Old 97?) "Heck," says he, "I'd not have expected a limey to know the song, let alone the story behind it!".
I love when railroads have obscenely and unnecessarily large bankers for seemingly no reason. Considering the fact that 3 mikados could do the same as 1 mikado and this, it seems like a very large financial mistake. Oh yeah, HOW DID THEY AFFORD THIS?
