  • I had this laying around and thought I'd upload it so I can end this on a good note. Was dumb of me to get up and leave y'all empty handed. So this is the REAL last video, but it's a real treat.
    As another little gift, all of my old videos, including the TANE ones, have been unhidden if you all want to go back and watch 'em. Some seem to be missing, but I found most of them. Cheers!

    you know they say he couldnt have been doing 90 mph, but casey jones ran the same type of loco at 80-85 on level ground, and going down hill would have made it more possible

      @thatredfokker  Год назад +48

      Nope. Broady was travelling at 50mph before passing the depot at Fall Creek, VA. Even without brakes he wouldn't have the time to reach 90, as Fall Creek was only a few miles north of Danville. The 90mph claim came from the people in Danville, who were used to seeing trains pass at 15-20mph.

      @thatredfokker is right if the train was doing 90 the accident would have been 100 time worse and I don’t the engine would be recognizable if it crashed at that speed

      @@The_East_Charleston_Railway It was, but the point they're making is that there wasn't enough distance between Fall Creek and Danville for even the hill to accelerate the train to that speed. What's more, Brody did apply the brakes when he realized where the train was, but there wasn't enough time to slow it down to a safe speed, which is why the train went off the sharply curved trestle.

      @@Railman1225 Broady lost his brakes 1-2 minutes after passing Fall Creek, and there were two claims of "sudden exhaust" erupting from the engine before the trestle, indicating that he had thrown her in reverse last second, causing the engine to kick itself off the tracks before even passing the trestle, hence why he went straight off the trestle and didn't "sling around" it

    “They give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
    Sayin', "Steve, you're way behind time
    This is not '38, this is old '97
    Put her into Spencer on time"
    Well, he turned and said to his big greasy fireman
    Hey, shovel on a little more coal
    And when we cross that white oak mountain
    Watch old '97 roll
    It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville
    In a line on a three mile grade
    It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes
    He see what a jump he made
    He was going down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour
    His whistle broke into a scream
    He was found in the wreck, with his hand on the throttle
    Scalded to death by the steam
    Now all you ladies you better take a warning
    From this time on and learn
    Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband
    He may leave you and never return”

      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?
