This silent 16mm film was shot by an unknown individual who was a railfan. It consists of various segments showing steam locomotives in the late 1940s.
The film begins with a title card, "The R.F&P Kept Them Clean". This refers to the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad, a 113-mile bridge line that connected Richmond, Virginia, to Washington, D.C. The 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive #310 shown at :16 bears the words "Washington & Richmond" on the tender. At :59, color footage of Southern Railroad steam locomotives. The locomotive at 1:50 (image flopped) is marked Virginia on the tender. At 1:54, an antique Mogul steam engine with a spark arrestor is seen hauling passenger cars. This is the B&O Railroad's William Mason, a 4-4-0 American Standard steam locomotive built at the Mason Machine Works. This was possibly shot in 1951, when the engine was loaned to the Erie Railroad and operated as a traveling exhibit as part of the railroad's centennial celebration. At 4:36, flopped footage, type unknown. At 5:10, either a Baltimore & Ohio Consolidated Mallet 2-8-8-0 #7200 class or a member of the S-1 Class, possibly #6123 seen later. The #7200 class was retired by 1954, so if it's a #7200 the footage predates that year. These heavy engines were often used to pull loads of coal. A caboose rolls by at 5:30. Next, B&O S-1 class, Santa Fe type locomotive #6123. This is a 2-10-2 that was built in 1923 and scrapped no later than 1959. Like the #7200s, built to haul coal. At 6:34, #7619 of the EM-1 "Yellowstone" class (one of 30 built) comes by with the camera at low angle, showing off the wheel arrangement. At 6:51, a brief shot of P7 locomotive #5302, the "President Jefferson" which was streamlined by being enclosed in a shroud. (This engine was scrapped in 1956 following an accident.) At 7:40 the locomotive rounds a bend, making an impressive sight, probably running as the Cincinattian and shot in between Baltimore and Cincinnati. At 7:58, another steam locomotive pulls a passenger train past camera, followed by another at 8:23. At 9:05 another B&O locomotive moves over a grade crossing (footage flopped). At 9:14 following, impressive long shots of freight trains on the move. The train at 10:11 has an engine in the front and two "pusher" locomotives in the rear. At 11:15, Delaware and Hudson #302 locomotive is shown. It's not clear if this is the original 4-8-4 K-62's built by Alco Schenectady in 1943, or a subsequent mock-up for tourist service. At 11:33, engine Delaware & Hudson #609 is shown, Alco 4-6-2. At 12:50, a double ended freight moves up a grade. At 14:45, Delaware & Hudson #1308, a Class K, 4-8-4 was one of fifteen built by Schenectady in 1943.

Great footage! All those cars with all the different road names!
And extra special treat - a 4-6-6-4 Challenger at the end!
Awesome footage of the William Mason. Any idea what they were doing? Maybe testing her for the great locomotive chase film???
Awesome video. The music is a bit odd, but sometimes odd is good.
Nice ps4 clip
i wish the D&H Locomotives we're fix and steamed.
Some D&H steam scenes were of the same trains caught by Fred Mcleod. Those had sounds with the film. I wonder if that Fred recorded and filmed more D&H steam. What do you guys think?
When the crude oil runs out, these grand old steam trains will make their triumphant return to service.
Ha itt Európàban még sokág tart a háború, elő kerülhetnek a gőzmozdonyok.
All steam runs on oil now. All of UP's heritage fleet has run on oil for decades.
they should have never went away in the first place!!!
@@theshapeexists they're still easily convertible back to coal though just remove the tank from the tender and the burner from the firebox!!
@@theshapeexists They use oil to lube their parts but steam engines do not require gallons of diesel to run.
Been better without all the music
There's a lot of steam locomotive's being restored in the last couple of years, and a lot beginning to be restored, Make's you wonder if steam is making a come back due to high cost of oil and unnecessary regulations.
ah real trains not these obscenity's we have today!!!
@@djavidianmx1832 how about D&H 302.
Spaghetti western music over a NE road 🤣
👍
Beautiful footage!! Terrible music!
Please reupload without the music.
Been better without the music but instead you should have had some narration as to location of the scene and what type of locomotive for example here we have a d and h 4-6-2 pulling a short passenger train out of bla bla
Nice footage, completely awful soundtrack. Surely they could have found something from the same era? Time stamp obscures too much of the frame. Do the editors even watch these?
