NYC Toledo Div fan here! Still an awesome railroad as the modern day NS Chicago Line. But I'd love to time travel back to the mid 1940's w/a modern day smart phone and just...take in the 30+ First Class Passenger trains and misc freight, videoing all of it!

Late comment, but the vinyl album, Titans of the High Iron, features the 2124, my fav, teamed up w/2100 on sev sequences. The 1st track where the 2124 calls in the flag w/5 whistle blasts on her ex-passenger 6 chime followed by 2100 doing the same on her shrill freight whistle is absolutely fabulous!

The actual flagship class of the B&O were the iconic P-7 Pacifics, They were assigned on traffic out of Jersey City towards Washington DC then pushed further west as seen here until retirements in the late 50s

Thanks for this, guys. I've known, and admired, the G&D for nearly 60 years, and it is great to see it in live action, rather than magazine stills.

Rest in peace, John. Thank you for leaving us those inspirational photographs. Somewhere in heaven, you and the other model railway greats are busily laying rails on a supremely wonderful layout - look forward to seeing it.

She wasn't an 0-6-0, but a 2-4-0. At the beginning of the film, at 0.19 to about 0.25 you see the finished model working a mixed train on the Devil's Gulch & Hellangon line.

@@Trainz11She actually is an 0-6-0. She was the Devil’s Gulch and Helengon #1. #3 was the 2-4-0. I don’t believe that John ever got around to painting it. This was shot on his earlier layout in 1953, he moved and began to build his iconic basement empire in 1954. #1 was stolen by an unknown visitor in 1960. John’s friend Whit Towers also had a model stolen from him at some point.

I think CSXT should have a steam program, and C&0 Allegheny 1604 should be selected for restoration to operating condition along with Greenbrier 614! If 1604's restoration is complete, it would be the most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world, surpassing Big Boy 4014!

I saw this in person whe I was about 15. John's house was in Toyon Heights area of Monterey, CA. A friend, Steve Willis knew about it, called John and one evening we visited. I recall a large unfinished tressel with tiny serveyors facing each other from each, yet to be finished, ends. Ill be 79 in Nov. My friend Steve passed away a few years ago.

Observing Pennsylvania rr steam power operating on the Horseshoe Curve location is incredible, the PRR had a great variety of steam power on their locomotive roster. I do wish that the Pennsylvania rr did however preserve one of their J1 class 2-10-4 type locomotives to be placed on display somewhere, it's a true shame that none of the J1 steam engines still exist as I find that class of locomotive very interesting.
