I would love to go back in time to see these giants in action.

was it for 4th july?

Great video of the fireworks!

Love this Jerry! Thank you so much!

Think about the steam locomotives with a million + miles then think about how many strokes the pistons made in those million + miles. 😧

Incredible footage. The recurring theme of focusing on the head number boards and bell during runbys is a very cinematic touch. It makes the footage feel more relatable for some reason, just that extra touch of character that makes this feel like a real moment of regular industrial work instead of a misty-eyed vignette of the rose colored past.

UP could preserve 8 of their big boys, but not any of their 4-8-2s or their 4500HP turbines

You go, FARMERS! You're 2% of our population that feed 320 million of us Americans and millions of other people around the world. That's a genuine miracle! And you don't get the credit and LOVE that you deserve. Well, here's some big time LOVE and appreciation from a Colorado city dweller that deeply appreciates what you do! 💕❤️💘🐻🇺🇲

I wonder what the railroads are paying for diesel these days? I have diesel trucks and here in Ontario I am paying $1.60/litre on average. The experimental segment seems to me to be a bit redundant...I'm sure every railroad had all that detailed information on every class of locomotive they were running back in the day. Just pull out the file and look it up without needing to reinvent the wheel. The argument about how to coal and water the locomotives is bogus as every railroad had all that in place up until the end of steam, it is not very complicated to figure out. I think the biggest hurdle facing steam is not coal, but steam itself. Boiler maintenance, downtime, endless inspections. At least if a diesel dies you just call for a tow and carry on. When a steamer dies it can be a big bang. In otherwords it demands a railroad be totally committed to safety, regular maintenance, and be prepared to invest in the professional workforce to carry out the work. This is why you will never see steam replace diesel. If you could find another way to burn coal and generate power without steam I'm sure railroad people would be interested in having a look. For my money if I were running a railroad I would be looking at electrifying the locomotives and generating the electricity in-house using coal fed into stationary boilers in the conventional powerplant. You control the power supply and the cost using an economical fuel, and you have the ease of operations and efficiencies of electric locomotives. No issues about coaling and water, no smoke inspectors, no trackside fires, but the trains run on coal and steam. No diesel in sight.

And they say farmers don't keep up with technology...

35:11 Not ALL steam activity? What about 844 and her excursions? They were a thing at the time this was released

Nice

You know that if maybe someday I drive that Chesapeake and Ohio 2-10-4 t1 steam locomotive number 3014 with Santa Fe 2-10-4 5018

You know what happened in Oklahoma sulphur the tornado killed everyone in that place it was yesterday on the 27 of April Saturday it was gonna hit us in Brookfield Missouri but it hit Oklahoma sulphur

A very nice video and layout.

April 20, 1945 Near the Elbe River, before the Russians meet the Americans

I remember one of those steam trains where there

I simply use heat shrink tubing to attach ends together, no drilling, no noisy click click of the staple going round around, I use a heat gun to shrink the tubing. Hope this helps make it easier.

70 cents a gallon, watching this in 2024 as a 20 year old thats pretty funny to hear.

Nothing like Bill Howes Jr custom stainless steel flat top Nathan chime from Bob Swanson. Great whistle I heard he sold it to a crewman at Dollywood and can be heard there if they put it on. I know C&O F19 pacific 490 has shown up there that’s another beautiful whistle. Ross is or will be 84 he was born in 1940 this year 2024. Been awhile since I’ve spoken to him great guy and lots of fun to talk steam with.

I love plunkin' on me guitar whilst watching this sort of thing... Thanx

Can you link the hooter whistle

Sad,all good things come to an end, thank you

Union Pacific had an impressive variety of steam power during the steam era and these locomotives are shown in this film operating in both freight and passenger service . I am very satisfied that the Union Pacific rr has preserved a fair amount of their historic steam locomotives for display viewing as a tribute to the steam era from many decades ago.

GREAT FILMS! THANKS FOR SHOWING US.

Dude one of those steam locomotives of union pacific the challengers are the midlate 3900 series like the challenger 3985 and the earliest and famous the 3900s and the 3800s

Dude this is what I'm talking about man one of those steam locomotives are the union pacific bullmoose steam locomotives with the earliest and famous challengers

Do you have any other videos through the years of this show? My grandpa was always showing his stuff

Wow, what a power house intro ! 😊😊

Watching 👀 these steam locomotives 🚂. Brings back to mind the ( 1890 thru 1900 ) fabled train robbers Butch Cassidy and associates. I respected him for just taking the money 💰 from the express car. Not robbing passengers/rail road employees -!!!😉

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better see 👀 the trains 🚂 traveling thru the towns & country sides.. Remember the " Singing Break Men " jimmie Rogers whom was a genuine break men. Till changing careers to a singing entertainer 🎸🎶. ( 1926 thru 1933 ) most memorable song " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". Had the good fortune to visit the Casey Jones museum ( I-40 ) Jackson Tenn. Viewing this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the "Space Coast "🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊. No steam locomotives here 😭-!!!. More good fortunes 2 steam locomotives 🚂 scenic tour rides. Bryson City N.C./Durango/Silverton Colorado. Very relaxing way to spend nostalgic time -!!!😉.

3:09 hooter whistle

Nice job❤

The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad had an impressive variety of steam power during the steam era and this film displays the various classes of C&O steam power. It's a true shame however that none of the t1 class 2-10-4 types and the L2 class Hudson engines were preserved for display for the future.

Okay, okay!You sold me! A great record of the railroads during that time we shall never see again.

So surely someone has counted how many times this film showed 3985, 4014, and 844? Awesome footage. Such a shame steam reached it pinnacle right before it's shortened life. Perhaps with another decade of steam being the only motive power, new materials and technology would of helped to keep it around but we know now why all that changed.

Mountains, more mountains valleys rivers, bridges, tunnels, snow steam and steam locomotives belching pillars of smoke.passenger trains depot’s , people coal and freight trains coal trains, all with rural and small towns and cities painted in back drops and airbrush painted skylines . Snow, signal lights semifores, bells, old cars church steeples and sidings trees, pines rocks boulders and cliffs and high sturdy bridges and some cantilevered and a few made of stone with arches and tracks running underneath them . Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia , Kentucky Ohio New York and Also All of New England and all of the old buildings , homes and the styles of the this period in the Gilded era of railroad travels and lifestyles and dining by rail . The Broadway Ltd and 20th century Ltd. What a layout! Now I can do it and it not be destroyed by my dad and brother

The total inspiration to build the most awesome train layout with the company of Blue ridge Virginians and Chesapeake and Ohio 2666s along with Yellowstone DMI&R and few Pocahontas and Cavaliers accompanied with the Virginia Creeper. That would be a theme and layout one could only imagine in dreams , justifying only in sheer size only.

I have or have tried to see many JMJ videos and have to say they are the worst videos ever made. None have been corrected to be viewable. Way too dark and some won't view properly.

Great footage! Love seeing all the different classes of the C&O. BTW that last part with the scrapping of steam locomotives is just flat out depressing.

Wise men , these ; they shot it all . Steam and diesel . What a great vid this !!

MAN, I knew NKP moved freight , but this is just nuts !! Those Berks could and did haul it in a HURRY !! GREAT VID !!!

15:23, 21:33, and 21:44 showing footage of the UP 9000s in action, It’s great to see there is more rare footage of the UP 9000s I mean I’m sure there’s gonna be more out there

Those "Early Challengers" always excite me when I see them. Just recently got one in HO scale and all i can say is WOW.

This video brings back memories…I was in my senior year of college in Montgomery (WV Tech, before the campus was moved to Beckley), and things were frozen SOLID all that month. Twenty inches of snow fell around new years day, and stayed thick on the ground all month. The 614 made several water stops in Montgomery that month, coming through usually in the early afternoon. Late in the month, I heard her whistle and ran hard to my apartment to get my dad’s camera outfit. Fortunately she stopped for water, and I was able to set up atop the “Hi-Rise” dorm and wait. Managed to take a great series of photos as she got underway, belching a magnificent cloud of smoke and steam as she worked to get up to speed. Was cool to catch a little footage of my old college town as it was, nearly 40 years ago. Cool also to see a few glimpses of some pre-Chessie System C&O liveries in black & white in the video.

What a fckng iron monster... Dear Santa...

Shame there's no more track in Wheeling
