Locomotive 14 the star of Iron Will

The movie star of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, in Duluth, Minnesota is steam locomotive #14, used in the 1994 Disney Movie, "Iron Will" which was filmed in and around Duluth, Minnesota.
The train featured in the film was completely comprised of railroad equipment in the collection of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, in Duluth, Minnesota.
This video is designed for our outdoor Locomotive Gallery, and will be available for museum visitors later this spring (2022). Learn more about the Lake Superior Railroad Museum at: www.lsrm.org

I was lucky enough to get a small speaking part in "Iron Will" and to get a ride on #14. Twenty one years later I'm still getting royalty checks from Disney and more importantly I have lots of great memories.

Great Film

[@bcgrittner8076]

Iron Will was an excellent movie. I was fully aware of Number 14. The film crew did an excellent job of blending the locomotive into the scenes.

I grew up around this engine and until I saw this I would have never known this was the engine from iron will

[@steamrollerboi16]

I was fortunate enough to ride behind and in the cab of 14 back in the 90s. Great little Baldwin. CTRR Steve.

I don't know whether to comment on the videos getting cheesier or getting higher quality. Guess I'll do both. Keep it comin LSRM!

Wow

#14 is a 2-8-2 mikado.

[@sirrliv]

I say #14 looks better with a capped chimney. But then again, all steam locos look better with chimney caps.

[@brandonharris7516]

I know that 4449 in in movies

[@maxm4375]

This is just my opinion but 14 needs a new lease on life

I’ve been watching to much car videos when I seen the thumb nail I thought the train was doing a burnout

Why didn’t they raise the funds to retube the boiler?

[@johndavies1090]

I've never actually heard of this film - was it actually released in GB? Never mind - those are corking runbys.

[@GrandCanyonStudios844]

Alright, question. Why was No. 14 removed from service back in 1998?

[@tylertollefson2638]

In the guide book published by the museum it states that the locomotive required expensive repairs and that a decision was made to focus resources on other projects. The locomotive remains on static display at the museum.

[@GrandCanyonStudios844]

@@tylertollefson2638 Okay, but was there a specific component that needed fixing, like the firebox or running gear, or does that guide book say just that?

[@wwtf7180]

@@GrandCanyonStudios844 the firebox is BO. I also noticed that the throat sheet is welded to the side sheet because of cracking around the rivets that join the two. The boiler is just plain wore out.

[@wwtf7180]

@@GrandCanyonStudios844 it was given a cosmetic restoration back in 2015 or so and looks wonderful now.

[@GrandCanyonStudios844]

@@wwtf7180 The locomotive basically needs a brand new boiler in order to run again. Got it.
