It’s a quiet Saturday afternoon in White Hall, Arkansas but soon the distinct sound of a steam whistle begins to break that silence. The crossing bells and arms warn drivers that something is coming down the railroad tracks. That something is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world and she’s Steaming Along the Line to her destination of the day in Little Rock. The engineer has the e...

Had the pleasure of chasing it from Texarkana to Dallas, TX days later.
I was there chasing it too!
2102 has a bostter!
You can truly say "the Earth moved fir me"
Wheel slip from rain or leaves?
@@BruceBergman yes
Perfection in firing. A very light grey haze. 100% perfect combustion. Train handling wise... Wonderful job. Just wonderful
Worst thing about steam.... Never could keep my sweet tea cold on one.
DAMN the Sanders...but what'd we do without 'em. Either we'd stall the Train or save the running gear...your call.
Grab that throttle
Awesome! Hopefully she will do excursions again
wow would you do N&W 611 Music video Music : Wellington's Victory Symphony of Triumph.
Really interesting stuff! One, maybe silly, question: what happens to all of that exhaust when the hood is closed? Does it just back up into the system until it can all be released (and does that potentially cause a problem if the hood is left closed for too long?) Or is the smoke/gas just redirected by the hood, still exiting, just not straight up?
Not to discount the effort of the crew. However, they are beating this engine up pretty good. The tires, the wrist pins, rod bearings, and not to mention the boiler…. I sure hope their finances can afford this historic representation of climbing a good grade
It seems that R&N run the t-hog like she was meant to be run in 1945. They afforded to have a full time crew for her restoration, and they hooked her up to a coal train before any excursion. I think they're willing to pay more for maintenance if it means making steam sound the way it's supposed to
RESPECT to the engineer, fireman and narrator!!! Subbed!
Question about running a steam locomotive, can you apply a slight bit of independent brake to keep the wheels from slipping? I’ve used the independent on diesels ever slow slightly to help control slippage while dropping sand.
@@Th3Rambler not on a steam locomotive. Excessive brake on the locomotive wheels will heat the tires up and cause them to expand and slip or even come off.
There's N&W 611 and now running Excursions on the N&W and the C&O.
Some good audio !!! Thanks for sharing it !!!! Rated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a great video!
Love that whistle it’s the Custom Bob Swanson Nathan whistle made for Bill Howes Jr for the Chessie Steam Special 2101 !
Yes
Amazing video! So cool to see them work a big 4-8-4 so hard, and I love your commentary. Love from Norway
Looks like it would direct the exhaust towards the cab?
Great recording! No wind noise..no vibrated sound on whistle...perfect....did you ever record any other trips that year or following g to current year?
@@davidtrexler7928 I had a set of recordings the next weekend but my recorder was stolen from my car after I got it off the engine.
It was neat watching Shane pump the throttle to keep her moving. That's a technique I was taught running a 4-4-0 on a steep, curvy branchline. Obviously it works on the smallest and largest of engines, and the resulting arm soreness is all the same!
Its not the largest ever built. There were larger lcoomotives. it is the largest still in existence and operating.
And suddenly the Cab forwards SP ran, just made sense.
Oh that’s pretty interesting, never knew that’s how it worked!
That's probably the best up-close video of the stack hood in action besides the one in Last of the Giants. What's interesting is the same design of stack hood wasn't only used on the Big Boys and Jabelmann Challengers, but was also applied to some of the UP's 2-8-2s, 4-8-2s, and 2-10-2s. The UP also used a different type of stack hood similar to one used by the Santa Fe, which folded up and down from the front of the stack.
Very cool. Never knew much about the stack hoods. Awesome video!
425’s been my favorite since I was 4. She’s got sound that almost no other steamer today can match.
Nice recording! Sure do miss the old gal. Hope the rest of the work won't take too long. She's still my favorite.
Awesome stuff!
We love seeing steam roll thru rural retreat va
Why do they over-fire at Cass? Or, is it just a characteristic of a Shay?
I've been wondering that too. Black smoke is a common characteristic of adding a lot of coal to the fire at once, but it seems to be almost constant at Cass.
Great video, Zac. My wife and I were at Cass just this last weekend on the Whittaker train.
I can't wait for this Video Big Boy 4014 I Loved The Reading 2102 cab ride
I love 2102 cab rides! Don't forget to pan back towards the tender every now and then.
Great video and explanation for all the action needed to keep her going in slippery conditions!
I was on that train with several of my family members. It looks like my father in the window wearing a red shirt at 2:08. I think I can see myself in the photo line at 6:18.
Support the acquisition of the Shamokin Valley RR by the Reading and Northern.
And they said that driving steam trains are just pushing the throttle then hitting the brakes at a station
This is fabulous. I was riding open window with Wes Camp former CMO and fireman of 2102. He was describing the cab. His description was spot on.
Just discovered. New subscriber. Very well done, few understand the difficulty of keeping control on slippery rails. And no power assist on the threottle! Armstrong Cruise Control! Would love to see the interiors of the coaches, diners and the dome car. Thanks!
Супер💯💯💯💥💥💥💥
Wonder how long of grade you guys were batting
Very impressed that you kept the girl going very good video
I was chasing this excursion and it was an incredible day. Incredible day
Excellent, Zac and James! Three cheers.
Reminds me of the 4501 documentary when its mentioned that on its 2nd life after Southern, it would go up steep grades so slow that "you almost thought he wouldn't make it to the next piston stroke, it was that slow." Incredible to see the crew actually handle such a situation.
One of my favorites! I love the commentary talking about how loud the stack was.
Great commentary; really neat to see the finer details of locomotive operation in such demanding conditions as this. The booster operation definitely is the highlight of the video for me.
