Dollywood Express  

Me too. They just have a nice amount of character to them.

Oh yeah. I remember that. I wish I could have got some recordings of it.

Air Compressor for the air brakes

Oh. Well that’s interesting. Also I wonder why US army steam locomotives often had indirect Walschaerts gear instead of regular Walschaerts gear?

192 and 190 use to run together back in the late 50’s

Maybe at Dollywood. They might could paint them in their original US army paint schemes. Who knows, maybe they could bring back the old Rebel Railroad southern 3 chime and the old Crosby for the doubleheader.

It's a six percent grade with a 190 class that has always been known for not the best traction on heavy grades. I know the engineer and he knows what he's doing and I guarantee he is working the throttle and sanding to try and minimize the slippage.

@@baldwinloco12 holy smokes that’s steep! I would have never figured that. From the views I got from the video it didn’t look like the engineer was being very responsive but my small window wasn’t enough to draw conclusions. Sorry

@@RedRiverRailfan no problem

If they have had alot of rain then they may be able to remove it as the fire risk would be less.

It’s been kind of dry and it was really wet in early summer they done some test runs this week I saw the video of 192 with just the tender and no cars this week on RU-vid

I had seen it from Tim Smith on Facebook that the exhaust burnt through the netting. I guess since it was late in the season and that 70 was almost ready, they opted not to replace it yet.

Yes

I also know why the we’re doing test runs, because the rod between the 3rd and 4th wheel snapped and she was left up there for a week before they could do anything

Yep i totally agree with you

You’re not the only one. I also think that she’s a very nice looking engine.

There were thousands of these built, but only 11, numbered 190-20, went to Alaska.

I wounder where they all went, maybe scrapped

@@sfsbeast6319 most likely scrapped, fun fact #70's sister still works at the White Pass and Yukon railroad but its converted to oil firing

@@cwhuffman01 there is also 2 3ft 6 gauge survivors in Australia Zig Zag Railway has 218 the other is with Queensland Rail

It already has one in its smokestack.

That's because it's a sister engine, it is virtually identical.

@@baldwinloco12 they also modified 192 during the Rebel Railroad era to resemble 190 at Tweetsie.

@@SouRwy4501Productions Yes, I'm aware.

well im pretty sure there's only four of them but im not sure well first you got 190,192,195,and 196 ,sadly both 195 and 196 was scrapped, 195 that is unknown why it got scrapped but 196 was scrapped after it derailed and turned up on her side, hopefully that answers your question crater films

Ragan Jones 195 still exists in Skagway and 196 was rolled over in the river. The only reason these four survived was because they were the work horses of the 190 class. The rest where wrecked or scrapped at some point. The injectors are set up very similar to that of 190. The reason they had them “protected” in Alaska was to keep them from freezing in sub zero temperatures (there’s record that these engines ran in -70 degree weather.)

@@cwhuffman01 -70!?

I would love to but I live way to far away to make it a regular thing.

That's because it's 190's sister engine, they are pretty much identical engines.

I know. But they are both beautiful.
