    Some notes and errors in the video:
    5:13 I said 1897, when previously text in the video states it was actually August 1896.
    -The mudhens were numbered 10-12 as opposed to 5-7 since Wright had already been plotting locomotives to use those numbers, and also wanted "single digit road numbers" to be for one-off locomotives, while locomotives with identical sisters following being given "double digit" numbers to organize things a little. Although this did not make future orders of locomotives any cleaner.
    -Not sure why I never verbally mentioned it, but the SVRR ran from Mountain City, TN, to Damascus, VA, then to Shady Valley, TN with many mining and later logging branches along the way.
    -The actual company was "founded" on the day No. 1 made its first run (and fell) up the track, since until that point there was no company at all. Just a crazy guy and a bunch of random nobodys from town building track out of stolen wood.

    The East Tennessee & Western North Carolina, affectionately known as "The Tweetsie", was a most unusual line having both standard and narrow gauge lines on its system, which ran from Johnson City, Tennessee to Boone, North Carolina, a total of 65.3 miles, not including a 2.6 mile branch from Montezuma to Pineola. Although the standard gauge portion of the line survives to this day, the 3-foot gauge trackage was abandoned in 1950. As the train winds its way along 3-foot gauge line, we are guests in the caboose, and later on, in the cab of the little Baldwin engine. Winding through the Doe River Gorge, we're reminded of other narrow gauge lines much farther West - how lucky we are to have this record of this wonderful line. Although the narrow gauge portion of Tweetsie closed down in 1950, Engine number 12, Combine/Chair 15, and Excursion Car 11 are still in service as tourist hauler at Blowing Rock, North Carolina, also known as "The Tweetsie". As the Crew goes about their daily business, of setting out, picking up freight cars, and caring for the little Baldwin, we are treated to sights long forgotten in modern railroading. It is interesting to note from the company time table, dated October 15th 1883, that, quoting; "Through the gorge, and at all points where the rock or land slides are possible and in descending heavy grades trains must be kept under perfect control, and speeds must not exceed 6 miles per hour" end quote. And also the time table cautioned, "Trains must not under any circumstances run at a higher rate of speed than 15 miles per hour.". Have you ever seen a brakeman working his way over the tops of the cars with a brake club?

    3 questions:
    1. Would Shady Valley exist in the present day
    2. What happened to No. 1 after the narrow gauge track was constructed
    3. Where did A.J Wright get all the dynamite he used?

    • @thatredfokker
      @thatredfokker  Месяц назад

      1. No, Wright refused to allow anyone else to take his place, so he ordered the railroad be shut down before he passed away in the 60s
      2. Kaboom
      3.

    logistically speaking, Mr Wright should not be ashamed with the amount of dynamite used! he probably caused major expansions of the industry in the region in his first year alone! i wouldnt be surprised if he was such a repeat customer from local dynamite makers, he's got a perpetual discount!

      @thatredfokker  5 месяцев назад

      1. 11's whistle is from RDR2, the rest I ain't sure. But I made them myself.
      2. Number 2 is a custom design, loosely based off of the Lehigh Valley 2-4-4Ts.
      3. So the crew can have the option to drive through train robbers.

      The shotguns are probably just the logical end extreme of the coach gun. Probably Winchester 1897s in riot pattern.

      Loosely based on Lehigh Valley's standard gauge 2-4-4Ts 610 and 611. No. 2 is mostly fictionalized and is a 2-4-0 with a very small tender.
