Unique and rare T1 footage from Horseshoe Curve and Gallitzin Tunnel. There is one scene where a T1 is Part of a triple-header all steam lash-up!!! Another must watch film brought to the Trust by our friends at Mark1Video.

Yes indeed. The most powerful steam locomotive ever designed. Too bad our youth of this day are not interested in designing and building locomotives but instead are focused on useless entertainment provided by role models like beyonce and pokemon. Ah yes, only the US has a unique view on passenger rail as being ''nostalgic'' and not part of everyday transportation like the rest of the world who is way advanced in their rail system. Steam locomotives are not old technology, they could be every bit modern and improved and have overcome the so called inefficiencies that the oil companies who seduced railways into buying diesels.
@drosera884 жыл бұрын
@@torquetrain8963 It's all about infrastructure and maintenance costs. Maintenance could probably be worked out well to match or maybe out-perform the costs of diesel (NYC did it with their Niagras) but retooling the current infrastructure to suit steam power is a gargantuan effort. Huge modifications to fueling equipment and procedures in addition to retooling shops and training people to work on steam locomotives is beyond prohibitive for any major railroad. Steam could be made to work on short lines though. The Strasburg RR does it pretty well and they use steam for freight when it's convenient. And yes, the oil companies/automakers have us by the balls when it comes to transport. Lots of urban rail networks were bought out by automakers for the sole purpose shutting them down and getting people to buy cars instead. Los Angeles would be a much cleaner city if it's rail networks and planned rail networks hadn't been decimated by the auto industry. Cross country passenger rail wouldn't work well in the US. We're more spread out than Europe and aircraft are far more flexible. People would rather pay a little extra to get somewhere in a few hours rather than a day or two.

Ironically, the PRR T1 Trust acquired the sole surviving PRR long haul tender that came off of a J-1 class locomotive. Its as if it was meant to be since it wasn't scrapped and will be fitted back onto a steam locomotive, only rebuilt in a T1 configuration and getting an oil bunker installed since the Trust is making 5550 an oil burner. Not gonna complain since 5550 is the next member and not a exact replica of an original T1. Not to mention having it burn oil would greatly allow 5550 to travel throughout the country, especially out west. Personally I prefer coal, but having 5550 burn oil is not an issue for me.
