I have a dream, a total foamer dream, but one nonetheless, of a tour with 3254 and 2317 going on an excursion up to Montreal, where they'd meet up with 6069 and 2860 as a sort of commemoration of Canadian steam power. Yeah it's a total pipedream, but WOW would it be awesome.
Not for a while, they have recently completed the restoration of engine 26, then 3713 will be pulling mainline trains, and after that, they hope to have 2317 back.
Why do steam trains emit smoke in even bursts, anything from slow (labored) to rapid - what we as kids playing trains used to spout out as 'chuff, chuff' - rather then in an even stream?
hughvane The chuffs come from steam being released from the cylinders (Those two big things on the front sides of the engine). Every wheel rotation, the timing rod releases used steam out of the piston and out the stack. It is possible for it to have a stream though, when it’s just smoke from the firebox and no steam. The reason there’s no stream most of the time, is because there’s a period of time where the steam is still trapped in the cylinder with no way out so it can push the piston and turn the wheel. I hope this helps.✌️
Yes, those were good times. Thanks Adam!
The audio alone is outstanding!
Very nice, it's like I was there for this!
Love these kind of sites
Amazing footage, I am in awe, I have goosebumps on my goosebumps!

If I remember correctly this locomotive derailed a few years ago and bent her frame. She now pretty much just sits now.
Wow... great stuff there.
i wish it will have steam again
i am form canada so i know CP and CN RAILWAY
It’s quite a shame that they are never going to return Canadian Pacific 2317 anytime soon now.
What type of whistle is on 2317?
5 chime. I believe it’s out of tune
At a little before 3 mins that yard has alot of nice engines
The smoke at 810 was tremendous
16:51that guy almost fell over
that's Lowville and Beaver River Railroad No. 1923
When is the 2317 supposed to be back in service?

What engine is the 3613 again? I forgot
*3713*
3713 is a 4-6-2 pacific, formerly of the Boston and Maine
when is the 3713 supposed to be in service then?

her whistle sounds so sad.
Thats only because the engineer wont pull on that rope enough.
Her 5 chime is poorly tuned
