Wish i could have been around when this was a regular sight

@raymondparsley7442 8 месяцев назад

Having grown up along the N&W between Williamson and Matewan West Virginia, this very passenger train "stream-liners" as we called them was a daily, common sight. The mighty steam locomotives, pulling hundreds of cars loaded with beautiful, shiny-rich hard eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal... with a whistle so long and lonesome as to inspire and stimulated one's soul... This was my childhood America, and yes, I wish you could have been there to witness... this time of our country's pride and greatness. A time gone with the wind... A time never to be forgotten.

@royhoco5748 5 лет назад

during my 25 year career on Southern and NS railways I worked on and around this living fire breathing beast of a machine several times, it is fascinating to watch. one night when the 611 was laying over at Hayne Yard I was assigned watch duty and spent the night shoveling coal in the fire box to keep the water hot to make steam for the Saturday morning excursion. sitting on that engine all night listening to the noises it makes was truly a once in lifetime experience.

@johnclayden1670 5 лет назад

Beautiful! A British lifelong rail enthusiast, I have also long been an admirer of those huge American steam locos: what a loading gauge you had to play with! Enormous outside cylinders ..... stunning.

@raymondparsley7442 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful indeed John. My father lost his life, 1943, crushed by a rock fall, in a coal mining accident... I was four at the time... I often think of the war years and the contribution coal miners, here and in Britain made for the effort. Clearly, soldiers, sailors and airmen paid the greater price, even so, we must never forget the cost, the price paid by industrial workers.

@karlavonhuben1381 7 лет назад

I have to disagree. He's not holding any one shot long enough and the constant jump cuts made the video unwatchable for me. Gorgeous locomotive, though.

@Fotovliegtuig 6 лет назад

Disagree, multiple angles keeps interest and stops the video from becoming a long boring look at one angle. Can pause the video if you need to study something. Brilliant video, many thanks.

Pardon me, but I think the u1 is 87 ft long, and the big boy is about 134 ft I think. That being said, I think it's safe to assume that the big boy makes the U1 look like a shunter. It's still a really cool locomotive though.

@Blue Mint Bubble It's better than all of those European whistles that sound like a puppy getting kicked.

@HoneyBadger363 5 лет назад

@Blue Mint Bubble They may look slow but American steam locomotives are nearly as fast while being much larger and powerful such as the Union Pacific Big Boy having a top speed of 80 mph pulling FAR FAR more freight than any European steam engine up and down the Rocky mountains and then you have Union Pacific 844 and her sisters with a top speed of 120 mph while being far larger and more powerful than the Mallard. American steam locomotives are powerful beast that need low tone powerful sounding whistles to match their brutish looks and power while UK steam locomotives are the midgets that need to make noise to be heard and are a bit faster (Mallard being 6 mph faster than UP 844 and her sisters...).
