awsome work joe, i love how you added a little bit of everything. cab ride footage, pacing shots from far off banks. ground shots. all of it absolutely perfect. and she's got the best bark of any standard gauge locomotive ive ever heard.
No words can decribe this video,most espcially the beginning. The Lost art of steam is gone now and this is the best way to show it. Thanks for this presentation. Mind asking what time of camera are you using?
Joe- Phenomenal video, probably your best so far. Might have even been the first train video on RU-vid that I've watched from beginning to end. Very cinematic and really fun to watch. Keep up the excellent work, I can't wait to see more.
This is not a NH steamer its only painted NH colors and numbers, all but 1 of NHs steam locos went to the scrape yard, the only 1 left that was owned by the NH is a small 0-4-0 called the Daniel Nelson it is in MO, it wasn't even built for the NH, but came to the RR when they bought the Cap Cod RR, it was used at the electric loco repair shop to move dead electric locos around, thats why it never saw the scrape yard, It was still there when Conrail took over, The only locos left where all diesel ele, or ele, the NH started getting raid of steam in the early 40s by 48 most had been sent to the dead line at Readville Mass
AlexKimbleYesDoraNo VGCP ok thanks though. 🙂 You have to admit though that that whistle really suits it. Better than the whistle it has now (as of 2019)
@@evanmnichproductions What he means by “specific” is that you can’t just simply guess what kind of whistle it is, but if you’re saying that it’s an SP 5 chime then you’re sadly mistaken. Ever heard of Southern Pacific 982? Well there are quite a few videos on RU-vid showing two locomotives so far, Texas State Railroad #400 (aka T&G #30) and Grand Canyon Railway (ex CB&Q) #4960, which was for a short while before swapping out with her 6 chime again. In comparison to this whistle on the 3026, it most certainly does not sound like an SP Desert Screamer. This as the matter of fact sounds more like an ALCO or a Nathan Standard 5 chime, not a short bell. The main difference is the sound that the whistles make. A short bell 5 chime makes a high pitched sound, while this one makes a lower pitched sound. If you’ve seen the UP 844, 3985 or 4014 before, you’d know that the whistle sounds are way deeper because they all have long bell 3 chimes. And don’t get me started with the Illinois Central’s “Steamship whistles.” Those sound so deep they almost sound like a steamship, hence the reason why the whistle was given such an odd nickname. Edit: Okay so I just now noticed that these comments are 7 years old. Sorry that I’m late for the party. You know the old saying, better late than never.
