Hey! This is the exactly the same famous steam locomotive that played as Rainbow Son! In Thomas and the Magic Railroad! Haven't seen it for a long, long time now.
At first I thought was the diesel really necesarry? Then after seeing how many cars they had 1000 tons probably was a litte much for the 475 by herself. 475 was probably working harder than she had for alot of years. The switcher was working a little too, maybe in the 4th or 5th notch.
@ Scott Brown Some preserved steam engines do not have air brakes, and it is the reason why some diesels are brought into the equation. They power the air brakes on the rolling stock, and they also give some support when needed.
I only major issue with this is at 14:50 when you were zoomed so far out. I would have loved to see the train close up as it would begin it's forward motion and then slowly zoom out as it began to make it's way forward. It would have added a more dramatic effect.
These steam locomotive takes back to my early years with Santa Fe Railway as a Fireman and Engineer on the old Baldwin Steamers. Wonderful film :-)
Excellent shot at 11:20! Gave me chills!
This video shows how powerful 475 is. That boy can really hold a load. Even without that diesel leaking behind him.
Nice work, Dubl Dee! After those two days, I've come to admire the Strasburg Rail Road more than ever before.
Thank you Lee! An awesome pair of days it was!
Rode behind the 89 yesterday, and this video’s brilliant!

Wow 475's stack sounds amazing!
Thank you! And August 22nd, 2012!
Awesome video!
Awesome Job!
I was there for the steam freight that day too!
It be exciting revenue if the Strasburg stored Railway cars on their sidings....

The currently operated Steam Locomotives at Strasburg have air brakes.
Thank you very much!
Thank you Kon!
Super, Danke!

Thanks Jamie!
Thank you!
Great video man! Really cool indeed!
That's a short-bell Hancock 3 chime of B&O heritage, not a 4 chime. The 4 chime your thinking of is the CN 4 chime 89 wears from time to time.
Thanks Adam, a big thanks to you for taking me out there!
Sweet video dude
11:00 BEST STACK TALK EVER!!! SOUNDS EMINSE!!! GREAT CATCH!!! WHEN DO THEY USUALLY HAVE FREIGHT TRAFFIC? Or do they even have a schedule?
The Black River & Western RR in Ringoes New Jersey kicks some freight cars around using their steam engine from time to time.
Good job man
Ok, thanks. I really wasn't sure.
AWESOME!!!!!!!
why was there a passenger car at the end of the freight train?
did they take the B&O 4 chime off of Western Maryland #734 and place it on #89?
This is the only railroad in the country i know of that use steam to move real freight. Photo freight does not count. A+
On occasion, N&W 611 will haul real freight.
Nice! When was this taken?
that's how they should work steam at Strasburg all the time!!
Thanks Matt, and LMAO!
perfect, my wedding anniversary
GEEZ people...the Strasburg Railroad is a REAL common carrier servicing REAL customers with REAL freight....these aren't museum trains
I never knew strasburg railroad hauled freight
Freight equals $$$, so why not?
14:37 I think she cursed
woof

I've biin on it
Thank you!
Thank you!
