It's a nice video presentation with a good run of the STEEM LOCOMOTIVE. AWASOME TO LOOKS.

I am amazed that when in the UK during WW2 that the American whistles were not removed. The A4 s had their whistles removed because there was a fear people would confuse them with air raid sirens. I know the S160s were passing through Britain to move to Europe after D-Day.

I read that the British loco crews loved these Chime whistles, constantly pulling on them, because they'd heard them in the Western movies of the day !

They probably were playing out their fantasy that they were outrunning some outlaws and blasting out those 5-chimers to tell the sheriff's posse that they're coming in, with bad guys on their tails!

A typical rugged and reliable US loco - and with a proper whistle too! Great video.

Cracking locomotives...despite their austere appearance -it was cathartic when the day came I started to like it! -if only we had a line that could handle UP's spare FEF-3 ! -and OH that WHISTLE !!!

@raymondleggs5508 6 жыл бұрын

she spare FEF is a parts loco, inthe words of the railway it's slowly being scrapped, everytime they cannibalize it.

Great footage. That engine made that initial climb away from the station with a lot more ease than any of the British engines I have seen there!

That's because this train was a charter special and only had three carriages. The usual length is five or six.

Terrific ride! Pretty good power to weight ratio with three coaches. Was that a special charter or a normal service? It didn't stop at Ingrow, and the gates were closed at Oakworth as you approached, which is unusual.
