The song that gives the vibes of Heavyweight American Locomotives of Hualing Tons, In different weather conditions, built to be standing at 16ft to cover long distances, Burning coal, Oil, etc. Getting the job Done no matter what.
interesting fact I learnt was that double heading trains were less efficient than single engine trains, of cause they could pull heavier loads but their fuel consumption and total power increase were pretty poor. Also it was a difficult operation

Picking up coal and picking up speed. Shovel as much as the engine needs. ain't no slave but we slave our way, all the way to frisco bay! man that is good. norfolk and western, we will never forget you baby. We love you! R.I.P.
I love your own created steam trains songs. And i always listen to them it reminds me about the beautiful steam railway i have seen. But i have never seen a steam train before😥😥😥😥
This a pair of Norfolk and Western class A class no.1233 and no. 1224. Both is real. Not fake. Sadly both scrapped. Leaving N&W Class A no.1218 to preserved.
But these trains actually in IRL run the excursion together in 1993, but then they get scrapped in 19 94 replacing them with a M train it was built in 1943, a class 1218 and J class from north to western 611 from 1950 but the program of the railroad claim put up Norfolk seven Norfolk Southern became a thing from the north western railroad, and the southern railroad merging like this arm, the story, an exclusive real story
Well, the Union Pacific, 40 14, built, in 1943 maybe 44 Association of the 611 King off to the arm set a railroad that’s set an a railroad king of the king of sick from it is a masterpiece
Those are N&W (Norfolk and western) locomotives, not Union Pacific ones. I don’t know the exact class they are (as there were many that looked like those), so I am going to (probably incorrectly) say that they are N&W Y6 Bs
It's a homage and rendition of a workman's song, kinda similar to sea shanties but this song is an original not a historical one where workers would sing along to help with the timing of repetitive or complicated tasks In this case it's a song about a crew on the railroad line singing about their work expanding the line
Well, you can't expect a train to go up a steep grade with a monster load, even if it's 2 of the biggest engines N&W has to offer. They'll just stall (shown at the end) or worse, roll backwards.
@@basicallyarobloxian4533 Given that the N&W regularly assigned A class engines to long, heavy, coal drags that went up and over Christiansburg Grade, these two did not stall, but were merely stopped in the game to go hand in hand with the end of the song. Don't take this wrong way or take it as rude, but you have no need to try to play apologetics for virtual steam locomotives whose real life counterparts' capabilities are already known.
That’s what they built bigger engines and then they went to diesel and then they went to electric, I still don’t like that about people steam trains were still better
