Steamtown - The Ice Train 

Nostalgia, I remeber watching this when I was like 4 years old. These are gold videos.

@Joe Fusco... Nice i grew up watching this when i was kid during that time when CN 3254 was running.. now all these Years later i still love this video!

Omg so nostalgic, i loved seeing this after the school, when i was like 4 years old :')

I've been watching this magnificent video since I was 8 years old and NOW I'm 18 and it brings back many memories. Another greetings my friend. 👋😁

Spectacular, and wow, the sound of that whistle, haunting and beautiful , one of the best sounds ever! Thanks for posting

Beautiful video! Nothing beats the sounds and sights of steam.

Ile ja się naszukałem tego filmu! Jako 4-5 latek (a było to 13-14 lat temu) sporo go oglądałem jak i innych filmów o pociągach.

Inevitable recordar con este tren un viaje con mi mamá y tres hermanos menores desde Alameda (Santiago) a Concepción. Tenía 6 años. Los sonidos del tren, su silbato y humareda me envuelven en la maraña del tiempo y mi alma se llena de nostalgia al ver estas imágenes. Mi madre se quedó para siempre en esas sureñas tierras que la recibieron y en la cual ahora descansa en paz. Un tren como este fué el Tren de la Esperanza de una vida mejor que a Dios gracias encontró en esa bella ciudad de Chile.

Excellent! Thank you for posting this. The rolling stock of the steam era (and since) were seldom in a shiney, just-out-of-the-box immaculate condition. It would have been vitually impossible to keep them that way. I think these passenger cars look authentic

Beautiful and professionally done video. You've managed to capture one of the few remaining recreations of a bygone period of our history. I tip my hat to you!

Fantastic sound, fantastic steam clouds :)

Always loved ol' 3254. I hope they bring her back

just love that sound of the train comeing just after 3:30!

This video was and is and will be beautiful forever, and I thank you for leaving this video, thank you for having been part of my childhood

Beautiful video, Joe. I remember we chased this day as well. It was -4 degrees leaving Scranton and we saw them when they lost the air in the line under 81.

My toddler son loved watching this. I did too!

Lo vi con mi pequeño de dos años y medio y nos encanto, el sonido es increible y las maquinas de vapor son impresionantes. Ahora entiendo a los fans de los trenes de vapor. En vivo debes ser 100 veces mas impresionante = )

Man, the nostalgia. This was one of the first train videos I had ever seen as a young child. I'm glad it's still here!

Estas maravillosas locomotoras, sus sonidos, su bufar a todo campo, su silbato que se pierde en el espacio, campanas, humo, vapor...toda una mezcla de recuerdos de mi infancia, mamá, hermanos...1945...Un cóctel de recuerdos maravillosamente tristes, intensamente bellos...Sueños de una heroina subiendo con cuatro pequeñuelos a un tren buscando un mundo mejor en el fin del mundo. Chile.

I love how the rails sing!

Thanks for giving us all some of that beauty!!

An amazing train in a beautiful winter landscape well filmed. Thumbs up! :)

Such glowing cloud! Beautiful ;)

great video of this railroads ice train excursion with 3254

Steam in the snow! Love it, and great job as always!

ESA LOCOMOTORA SALE EN EL DOCUMENTAL TRENES SIN LÍMITE!

My three year old son loves this video thank you

Great video as usual. Hope they get the 2317 back out for excursions this year.

This was like the very first RU-vid video I ever watched

Wooow. Fantastic Steam cloud and steam Locomotive Sounds. 0:48 Wonderful steam pipa sounds😍😍😍😍

Outstanding job....thank you for the thrills!

Feliz aquele que teve a oportunidade de Viajar ou Passear nessas maravilhas do Homem. Infelizmente nos dias de hoje naõ se vê mais este tipo de transporte, viajo para o meu interior com estas belas maravilhas que o tempo não ira apagar.Sou um Ser Feliz Um abraço aos saudosistas..

great video 5 stars!!!

Beautiful and a terrifying sound ;)

I love the train CNR 3254

The Ice Train, another Classic Peace :-)

@GreenDragon2001317 That is called a feedwater heater, kind of like a preheater for the water coming from the tender on its way to the boiler. Basically the energy saved (by raising the water up a few degrees) by preheating the water is that much less that have to be taken from the firebox; the energy would otherwise be wasted heat.

Beautiful

Great video !

ola muy lindo el tren gracias por el video amigo.buanas dias

This train's Engineer has the best job in the world.

Hermosa,como quisiera que regresaran esas máquinas a México

Terrific footage! couldn help think of that HO CN Steam locomotive I got one Christmas when I was a boy. Too bad the dam thing never worked properly at all...I had even bought three or four cars similar to the ones here...

WOW. celestory roofs and engine providing steam to cars for heat. Nice video.

ur soo right man the shud not put this nice history away :)

Great video

OMG Thats wunderful!! I like it.

nice vídeo I love the trains

Makes you go back on time :)!

That engine sounds kind of tired at 4:02 lol!

Is there an HD version of this? Perhaps a DVD for sale? This is awesome

Bonito video me acuerdo cuando ví viamos en higueras Talcahuano el año 1970

Nice footage

the paint job on those CNJ coaches, i think have seen better times. kind of sad to look at them at their current condition. but otherwise, good video joe.

Very nice !!

Stuning !!!!

for those ho would like do research answer this "does the CN #3254 whistle and McCloud #25 sound the same?"

Hello! So beautiful!!!! Is this video copyright free? Is it possible to use it to include it in a short film?

Nice video dude

Nicely done video, I can tell you have an HD camera. However the train looks very dark on my display with little detail on the cars or engine being visible as they pass. The day looks dim and the snow is grayish. Is that my monitor going or is it the RU-vid conversion darkening it?

actually, its in Scranton, PA.

CN 3254 is the king of canadian national

Very nice! I love steam in the snow. What camera did you film this with?

I like it

was the train coasting or something?(if that can be done without damaging the train) as that sound isn't noticable in the rest of the video.

With the high cost of diesel fuel, they should bring more & more steamers back. :-)

nice job joe. see you in cass RioGrandeMan

świetny film !!! Uznanie !

what kind of engine is that engine? like wheel and all that

Where's the shot at 2:20?

I wish 3452 came back

Outstanding! EBTMikado

All Steamtown has to offer owadays is an 0-6-0 and rusty, non-operational locomotives. Not that I'm talking badly about the 26, I love that lil' switcher, but I feel like "Steam"town is becoming more and more "Borrowed Steam locomotives"town, or "Diesel"town.

So what was the purpose of the event and I'm pretty sure they discontinued it

Bring back the steam engines

belo vídeo!

@rangy8888 Your answer is in the Old West documentary titled, Back to the Future: Part 3.

did you go through the junkyard?

im gonna be so happy if thats the Polar Express

Muito bom..

@Landaux Unfortunately, though the boilers on steam engines are rather efficient (80+ %), by the time the power is transmitted to the rail, it is about 3%. Diesels have a greater efficiency and were far more reliable (steam engines spent a great deal of time in the shops) and way less labor intensive and thereby became a no-brainer replacement for motive power. External combustion engines were never very efficient. That being said, I love steam engines!

moscow? i didnt know steam town went all the way to russia?

@USMCnBNSFdude That's a very liberal statement. Antique cars and steam boats aren't outlawed...

3:37 Jeez, what's up with the whistle?

was that in idaho?

@fulstow02 This locomotive is a coal burner.

boy is she smoky. I'm surprised the EPA doesn't have a heart attack when they see these things. I'm sure 10 years from now some liberal president is gonna outlaw steam locomotives.

I remember watching this video when I was young. It’s sad Canadian National 3254 has discontinued in operation since 2012.

Great video
