There's something about the 'atlantic' wheel arrangement I really like.. that's a beautiful locomotive. Like the inside valve gear and the piston rod guide as well.
This locomotive is more significant than many think. It is legally an NYC steamer, the last Michigan Central one, specially done up by Ford, and in impeccable shape on it's interior from what I've heard. This thing could give the Ft. Wayne society a race and run for their money for "First NYC locomotive steamed up since service".
I have seen the engine many times in the Roundhouse I wonder if it just needs to be steamed or if something else is wrong the video shows the motion working and the tender was detached for storage in said roundhouse I want to see the engine run again I think it would be amazing for PM1225 and the Atlantic to be seen together your also right it 2 NYC engines restored back to back it would be amazing
Although it's a filming session, she would be a great candidate for restoration at the museum. She is a one of a kind and if she were to be restored, she would be the largest operating steam locomotive at the museum.
This would probably be the worst choice to run here. Due to her size and large drivers she would not be very efficient on the small loop. #7 pushes it for what is logical for operation here as she straightens curves.
The atlantics and the hudsons have always been my two most favorite passenger steam engines, but that one really has an elegant design. I really wish she could steam again. I loved it when Strasburg Railroad had Atlantic 7002 running in the 1980s. It's a shame. She's back in the museum she was about as elegant as this girl.
Makes it easier for the fireman to fire the corners. Most fireboxes the corners of the box tend to not get enough coal, leading to thin spots and cold air shunts that hurt performance. With this design it is easier for the fireman to deposit coal on the corners closest to the backhead, where it can't be seen but a lack of will be felt by poor steaming.
I have seen this engine many times she looks to be in running order I know the tender was un coupled to store her in the roundhouse hope to see the engine back in steam one day
I don't know what I would do with a standard gauge engine like this one if I ever get one, but it looks nice especially with the color scheme. Don't know if I can create an entirely new railway company that would actually last for a long time period, but if I could I would start with narrow gauge engines since I would want to build them first and have a niche. Allows me to own my own rails as well.
I've never cared much for the Atlantic wheel arrangement, but this is a historic locomotive, and if it is restorable to running condition, then it should be restored.
I recognize this locomotive! I've never seen her out of the roundhouse, though. Do you know if they're restoring her with the intent to operate in village or anything like that? Love the Atlantic arrangement!
Does anyone know where this video was taken? Also, correct me if I am wrong, she looks pretty clean, like she has gone through some restoration already.
There just running her up and down the rail yard a few times to get the grease and oil flowing through the nuckle pins and crank pins cylinder and to shake the rust off from the mosture because the longer it sits the more it's going to seize and they won't be able to restore it the parts will be conncreted on and get the parts off IF! big if They get her running again someday

I WANTED AN ATLANTIC
@@ConrailQuality4121 especially a PRR Atlantic with the belpaire firebox.
I don't think you got the reference
@@ErieRRfan I suppose not
A clean looking and attractive locomotive for sure

@pugtrainmaster5326 it's probably going to require some work, as with any steamer such as checking, but it does seem to be well taken care of.
@@iftheseoldbeastscouldtalk7796 True it is going to need some work any engine does steam or diesel but her condition makes it seem promising
Its also quite similar to a C&NW Class D 442
I personally prefer the Singles, Twelve-Wheelers, and Challengers, but an Atlantic always makes my heart glad. Beautiful engine

and one of the only running atlantics, with a double firebox at that!
@ThatUtahRailfansimply two doors, it’s not seperate.
This would probably be the worst choice to run here. Due to her size and large drivers she would not be very efficient on the small loop. #7 pushes it for what is logical for operation here as she straightens curves.
Foamer
It’d be nice but I’d imagine they’d run into the same problems Strasburg had when they ran the 7002.

i forgot about the double firebox door design on some locomotives. that caught me off guard so bad lol

Best looking steam locomotive we have in the US.
Nah 4014 big boy all day lol but u are right its still cool
Wow, that's a nice Atlantic!

does she run?
As a locomotive engineer, that is the #1 engine that I would love to run some day. What a beauty…and those legs…
Big wheels keep on turnin'

My god, she's beautiful. ❤
Stunning machine
Its a shame that the village track isn't big enough to run the Atlantic on
Actually, all the tracks and beds were redone recently and she can run the route.
Very nice, like !!!
Woahhh!!! An atlantic?!??
I recognize this locomotive! I've never seen her out of the roundhouse, though. Do you know if they're restoring her with the intent to operate in village or anything like that? Love the Atlantic arrangement!
Static only
Great video. Will this locomotive be restored in future?
What a beautiful queen ❤
She's a beauty.
What are they doing with it?
Does anyone know where this video was taken? Also, correct me if I am wrong, she looks pretty clean, like she has gone through some restoration already.
Where they take 45 to?
There just running her up and down the rail yard a few times to get the grease and oil flowing through the nuckle pins and crank pins cylinder and to shake the rust off from the mosture because the longer it sits the more it's going to seize and they won't be able to restore it the parts will be conncreted on and get the parts off IF! big if They get her running again someday
Stupid question, but does she have a Wootton based on the dual firebox doors or is that very very very old trailing truck firebox design choices?
Wait, where is that Atlantic train engine now?
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn MI
Just wish I could see her in person attached to her tender.
Restore it. N O W
