It's very rare that I'll watch a train video on RUclips more than once, but your videos prove to be an exception time and time again. I honestly don't know why this doesn't have more views. I wish every train enthusiast would see this video at least once!
When I say I want to visit the UK, THIS is why. Beautiful landscapes, great people, and not to mention, steam engines all around! Hope you enjoyed your visit!
Lovely video. On my trip to UK I did the Jacobite trip from Fort William to Mallaig and back in September 2016. The scenery was magnificent. Have loved steam trains for many years having travelled many miles since my childhood. Have many ancestors who worked on the Great Railways in UK, Canada and Usa.
me and my daughter Sarahs great adventure on this steam train was magical.I lover it more cause my great great granfather was a steam train driver on the greast west railway.
Indeed a professional video. Brings back nice memories of a trip on the Jacobite I had with my family on the 16th August 2017. It was the highlight of our holiday in Scotland. (Writing from Malta)
Thank you so much for this video! Simply beautiful. I've driven along the coast there by Fort William and the scenery is spectacular as this video well shows. Thanks for having no background music and no narration, it would only detract.
Thank you for the video. What delightful flashbacks I've been experiencing. Similar to eating a piece of ginger chocolate and when you think it's all gone you find a small piece left in your pocket. Jacobite Memories: one of the train employees 'Bernie, Bernhard when he's been naughty sense of humor, the elderly couple on holiday for their anniversary who kissed cheeks when I declared: "If this is the most romantic train ride in Europe why isn't anyone kissing?!" One of the delightful girls I hiked with who didn't have a coat and was wearing a lawn and leaf plastic garbage sack lent to her from a kindly shop keeper. Quite girl-scout of her I always thought. Oh, the Jacobite Express thank you! Though it's been 22 years since I rode the Jacobite Express. IT was as close to pure magic that one can experience on earth.
Very Beautifull and loved view of the journey on steam locomotive train.. Very feelingfull views.. Good catching... Carry on your this beautifull job.. I am Thomaskutty from India. 🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞 ❤️🧡💛💚
I enjoyed this trip with my wife and kids about twenty years ago after watching the Harry Potter Movie. Drove all the way to Fort William from Malaig to take the round trip. The really cool thing is it is a regular train service.
Maybe it's because I played with toy trains so much as a kid, but I can never get over the sheer size of these stems locomotives. And that chugging is such a soothing sound.
@@c.9900 Oh YES! The train ride was fun, the scenery was incredible. Of course, it rained a great deal. We also stayed two nights at the Princes House in Glenfinnan and climbed the hill behind the viaduct, to see the Jacobite cross over.
Buynot That’s kinda because the N&W Ys use a hooter (which I think the N&W hooter on the Y6s is trash), and the LMS used Hooters on the Jubilee, Royal Scot, Duchess, Princess Coronation, and 5MT class of engines they rostered. I’m a bit biased more for the LMS than the N&W though when it comes to steam.
We rode the Jacobite in 2009! Great fun. Highly recommended. BTW, you need a reservation. We were lucky enough to be able to walk up and get three seats.
It's true what they say. Steam Locomotives have their own "Charm". Each has its own personality. Enjoy this ride around The beautiful Scottish Highlands listening to the comforting "Chug, chug" of the train. -Bill Howes.
ToonLink682, haha... thanks! FYI the Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game series of all time. Figured you'd appreciate that based on your username. ;-)
Pleased to see former LMS coaches hauled by an ex-LMS Scottish Regionloco, as trains would have been back in the day. Anyone know where loco shed 65J was? I see the engine changed to 62005 (Lord of the Isles) at the end!
An instant classic and an easy choice to add to my Favorites! Amazing, cinematic quality in both filming and editing! Makes me want more - how much does it cost to get over there? *starts searching for loose change*
The speed of the train varied quite a bit, but I think it was a maximum of 40mph, with a few stretches where they slowed to about 10-20mph as seen in the shot with the bicycles. I believe the speed over the Glenfinnan Viaduct was approximately 20mph.
The K1 is the reason why anyone would visit the West Highland! Black 5s are a) everywhere and b) not authentic to the line. To be honest Cameron's K4 3442 'The Great Marquis' was designed specifically for this line - and IMO should be working the Jacobites too...
It amazing how this line managed to survive. If you look at New Zealand, there were a ton of branch lines that were ripped up in the late 60's early 70's. Scotland and England have got so much rail compared to New Zealand which is a bigger country.
Similar situation here in the USA. For example, the UK has ~400 operable steam locomotives, many are mainline certified. The USA, which is vastly larger than the UK, has about ~150 operable steam locomotives, and only a small hand full operate on the mainline at any given time. The UK has an impressive preservation scene, no doubt.
Dear Joseph, this is amazing footage. We are a Glasgow band and wondered if you would mind if we used excerpts in a music video we are planning of a cover of a Big Country song? Best wishes.
Did you have a railside pass of some sort for some of these vantage points (before I go and do anything illegal)? For instance, where exactly is that at 6.42 when it appears to emerge from a tunnel?
I didn't know that steam engines were so powerful. It is impressive that this tiny for the modern standards steam engine pulls so effectively so many fully loaded carriages.
It is interesting that we tend to forget that even antiques were built with a purpose - and that they can still carry out that purpose, given the proper care. You're right - it is impressive. No diesel assist, just one steam locomotive and a rake of sold-out carriages. Love it.
@@fuscoproductions We forget it because we don't see these engines in use anymore. The thing that diesel add to train engines is the performance. That is why diesel engines replaced the steam ones. The Jacobite train is not the train that you can use it for long distances. Anyway...What is the most impressive is that this particular engine is an antique. But it keeps going strong! I love it... I've just added this video to my favorites list! I love trains because trains travel you, they don't simply transport you as airplanes do. They don't simply take you from spot A to spot B. You experience whatever there is in between two places.
Several times throughout the video the locomotive stops chugging and spewing smoke for a while before resuming again after a short 10 seconds or so break. Does anyone know what is happening in the locomotive during this period of time? I'm curious I've never seen a steam locomotive do that before. Great video by the way as others have said. 😀
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 The "white steam" is exhaust steam from the cylinders condensing into water vapor while the engine is being worked. It's not done for show, and it's most visible in cold or damp weather. As videographer Joe Fusco explained in his comment, if the throttle ("regulator" in the UK) is closed, usually because the locomotive is coasting downhill or to a stop, there'll be very little or no visible exhaust steam. By the way, on my first viewing just now, I didn't notice any black or gray smoke. Those firemen knew their business.
Hi please can you tell me what is the name of the place where you are sat on the wall where you get 45407 and the bikes please can you reply quickly bye for now Philip
Hi guys, would you be willing to allow us to use a brief excerpt of your footage for a music video - it is a cover of a Big Country song and in the original they had some footage of the train back in the 80S which we are trying to reference. We would credit you of course.
Max Medaglia No. Like all K1s and most Peppercorn-designed engines, 62005 never saw the rails with an LNER number or branding outside of when it was painted in apple green and given an LNER number in preservation. The only K1 that did serve under the LNER was a Thompson K1/1.
EvanF1293 long story short, my fiancé went to graduate school in Edinburgh, Scotland. :-) Even if she hadn’t, this trip would’ve been on my bucket list.
Hey Joseph, I've got a brief video of the train at the station at Fort William preparing to depart and I've written a short script about it, it's about 3 minutes long, the origin of the Railways logo is particularly interesting. I'd love to use some shots from your film, it would help a lot, at present I've got my wee bit, then some cutaways to explain the design, I will essentially have to slow-mo the video to spin it out to the time required for the narration. So a few shots would help *massively*, and make the film far more dynamic. Please, can I reuse some short sequences?
If this piece of shit will let me comment this time, my Father did his apprenticeship on the last of the steam engines here in Australia in the 50's, he would love this video, I like it for different reasons, great video.
Both locomotives were in use; 45407 is the locomotive in the majority of the footage, however, I did catch one run with the 62005. I edited the footage geographically (from Ft William to Mallaig), not chronologically, so the locomotive sometimes changes shot-to-shot.
Hi, Joseph, I like your video very much, and it gave me the idea to use as a background film for a song I'm performing called "Like This Train”. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you would permit me to use part of it in a RUclips music video. It is a non-commercial video and I will let you watch it before I publish it.

Had no idea there were such cool tunnels after the viaduct! Thanks for this awesome video!
This is awesome!
An instant classic and an easy choice to add to my Favorites! Amazing, cinematic quality in both filming and editing! Makes me want more - how much does it cost to get over there? *starts searching for loose change*
I Love Luxury Steam Trains!
Beautiful!
The train got passed by cars, but seemed to keep up to the bicycles! Anyway, more chance to admire the nice scenery.
The speed of the train varied quite a bit, but I think it was a maximum of 40mph, with a few stretches where they slowed to about 10-20mph as seen in the shot with the bicycles. I believe the speed over the Glenfinnan Viaduct was approximately 20mph.
Black Fives are awesome. 45407 is regular power for The Jacobite. The only other regular power is #62005 "Lord of the Isles"
Thomas Weekley 62005 tops 5407 in my opinion.
The K1 is the reason why anyone would visit the West Highland! Black 5s are a) everywhere and b) not authentic to the line. To be honest Cameron's K4 3442 'The Great Marquis' was designed specifically for this line - and IMO should be working the Jacobites too...

Yes I do agree!
Brilliant footage. All I will say is that the cutting between the K1 and Black 5 is a mite confusing though! Despite that, superb quality stuff.
This is Awesome

Driver closes the regulator either to slow down or because they are going down hill.
I don't think it has to release white steam all the time. I think it only does that in areas where people come to watch the train pass by.
That's when the driver goes for a shit !!
