Finally, a actual instance of someone using what are these engines from over a century old in a practical way, and not only that but really opening her up instead of staying at like 15 or 20 miles per hour the whole time.
Just shows you how durable those little tank switchers were even during the balloon-stack era. Hauled the modern freight car like it weighted nothing. Fantastic work by both the restorers and maintainers of that little switcher.
@@badwolf2331 wouldn't doubt it, I don't see her working very hard in the video. Then again, it's a Forney commuter engine that worked for a lumber company for the longest time, so who knows.
Oh yeah, what a tiny loco compared to that car. But I hear stories like that in Germany quite often, there is even something called "Plandampf" which means "planned steam". Thats always a win-win because steam engines get a meaningful job to do and at the same time they (well, their owners) get paid for it - which they can invest into repair and maintenance.
Great video! little engine pulls a good load! I also LOVE that upper dark green door on the 2nd floor that has no stairs going up to them From what i heard IS FOR the people who got FIRED would have been pushed out from onto the walk way.
Steam engines are surprisingly powerful, more powerful than a diesel locomotive! There are still a few places where a steam engine will assist diesel locomotives getting a train over a hill above Timberline! A machine shop in the 1850s ran off one boiler and a lot of belts!!
Hate to break it to you, but this is simply not true. You can design any diesel locomotive to get to the same parameters of a steam locomotive, and also much better. The big downside to steam traction is the intermittent nature of the power delivery of the oscillating steam engine, meaning that it's much harder to prevent it from breaking traction at standstill.
1 autorack? Lets see it, do oh say 50 loaded with vehicles! Then I'll be impressed! I bet that one was empty too! I bet with some help at the start, it probably would pull it, but not from a dead stop no way!
Now who’s saying my layout is prototypically inaccurate.
This comment is underrated 😂
@@Ndoggy1127it’s a day old, give it time 😂
Hahaha best comment.
I won’t lol! Rivet counters are soooooo annoying 😂
Exactly
Literally "The little engine that could"

give this ol' steamer some credit!

This is the definition of (little engines can do big things)
this is a real David vs Goliath situation with size comparison between the loco and the car
The real lesson from David and Gaoliath is not about sit size of your aponant. The real Lesson, Alwas use Artilary!
Boy! For a steam locomotive 🚂 that old 🧓, it sure can pull twice its weight! Ingenious!
That autorack is easily twice the height of the engine pulling it. Nice.
Gives a new meaning to the little engine that could.
The exhaustion from the steam breathing.
Man this is so much fun to watch, the height difference is mind-boggling!! Thanks very much for sharing 🔥
I think that's the maximum capacity for that little one.
To be fair she was probably designed for switching coaches
@@jasongoodman3495 nope, logging. Even then, most switchers did have a lot of power, since all their weight is on the drivers.
listen to it, the engineer was barely on the throttle
@@cowcatcherstudios5759so theoretically it would be able to pull a LOT more?
@@badwolf2331 wouldn't doubt it, I don't see her working very hard in the video. Then again, it's a Forney commuter engine that worked for a lumber company for the longest time, so who knows.
I love it when they combine the old and New methods. :D
There's life in the old girl yet! Even though I assume the rolling stock is empty.
A little info about the engine would be appreciated.
A very well maintained small locomotive. Good video!
This steam train is the definition of the phrase, "age does not matter." 😊
It’s like the little engine that could in real life
Is it weird that I was cheering that little engine on? Talk about David and Goliath!
The little train that did.
Who would have thought you can move Freight with a few sticks of firewood. Rolling through a landscape of renewable energy😅
I know I can, I know i can.......
You could put 8 of those engines on that autorack
Better living through roller bearings. 😂
Super, almost like a model railroad. 💙 T.E.N.
Great video Ashton, well done!
“No welding on doors.” Doesn’t say anything about soot.

Little engines can do big things they said.

That old engine looks tiny next to that railcar.
This is just TOO cool! Thanks for posting. 😀

Thats a cute little forney
I’d love to see the big boy hauling real freight again but this is a good thing too
Awesome video.
Great video...👍
Amazing! Wood fired loco too!
The little engine that could
I can’t help but laugh every time I watch this, it’s so ridiculous
What a sweetheart!
Just Like UP 119 Could Do If Rebuilt Back In Service!
Imagine what that autorack is gonna tell his buddies!!😂😎
Where is this?
Where and why? Nice to see the engine at work. I am guessing the auto rack was pulled out of service for repair, and repositioned on the mainline.
That Very COOL
Awesome👍
Thats cute!
BOCK lumber co, manufactured by Baldwin in 1908, it weighs 16 tonnes
what a strong cutie
Small but mighty 😊
Back to the future!
Bloody amazing 👏
Casey Jr comes down the track comes down the track Is a little song
is this a revenue run?
amazing!!!!
Man they always do the cool a shit when I’m off on another railroad 😂
Now make it pull a intermodal train
1 autorack? Lets see it, do oh say 50 loaded with vehicles! Then I'll be impressed! I bet that one was empty too! I bet with some help at the start, it probably would pull it, but not from a dead stop no way!
I like how i hop back onto RUclips and this is the cursed shit I find, lol. Not really, this is pretty cool.
Tricked-out semi truck.
Crazy 😮
I believe it was empty!
Nothing wrong with that 👌
Was this revenue service?!
Now try 2
Was this car fully loaded?? 😮
No, you can see right through it.
Uh I think ur in the wrong century
so were not gonna say where this is?
I'm guessing Srassburg? Maybe?

oh ok thanks.
I’m pretty sure it’s the St. Marys RR
It's not the size that matters it's how u use it
