- Welcome back to the channel for another great train chase! Today we'll be chasing the beautiful 4-4-0 American Replica - York 17. The York 17 is an Oil burning 2013 replica built specifically for the Northern Central Railway.
The track bed of the NCR are part of a century plus old network that once was the PRR mainline to Harrisburg from Baltimore prior to the Northeast Corridor. The railroad last served freight customers in the early 1980s and according to the local New Freedom Museum staff, the track system suffered major damage from Hurricane Agnes, Summer 1972.
The NCR utilizes a single track with several passing track sidings located in New Freedom, Glen Rock, and Seven Valleys. The original line would have included a double mainline in most areas.
Today's excursion will be a short trip from New Freedom to Glen Rock PA - Approx. 1 hour excursion through the rural York County Countryside.

Enjoy the Chase!
Happy Railroading!
That B&W footage was a nice touch.
Thanks so much! We’ll catch it soon! 🚂💨
Great video Nick! I loved the black and white intro, the only thing missing was some Civil War soldiers!
If I remember my history correctly President Lincoln rode part of the old Northern Central on his way to Gettysburg for the dedication of the national cemetery late in 1863. And we all know about the greatest speech in American history he gave there.
My goodness, the York is one beautiful engine! A lot of modern-day railfans and modelers dismiss 19th Century steam and railroading out-of-hand and I have no idea why, that's where it all began. Those pioneer railroaders are the ones who laid the groundwork for what we have now.
Thanks again! I've gotta get out there one day!
Thanks so much for watching! Exactly right, Lincoln split off the NCR after delivering a practice speech / draft at the Hanover Junction and his funeral train would also utilize the tracks. Definitely should check it out, they have a bunch of events going on this summer.
One of my favorite steamers and Railroads in our area.
Same here! She’s a beaut!
This was an outstanding video!! Do many great shots, and of course the ground shot with the camera next to the rails was exceptional. Many different locations and camera angles made this video very interesting to watch. Glen Rock station was cool to see. Great job Nick!
Thanks so much my friend! Was one heck of a chase especially when the first train was running late and he made up time with speed haha
That is a beautiful old steam locomotive 🚂🚂🚂🚂
She’s the perfect replica 🚂💨
Awesome video chasing #17 around. You got some really need camera angles on this chase. I would have enjoyed joining you on this one if it hadn't been for my day in Steamtown. Hopefully I can get down there again this year.
Thanks so much for watching! No worries! I wish I could have gone to both events but there’s always next year.
@@NixCrossing indeed I wish I could have been in both places myself. Got the same dilemma for next Sunday ...
Very Cool!! 👍
Thanks!
Nick what a beautiful steam engine
Thanks so much for watching!
Those 19th Century steam engines were beautiful all right, more like pieces of fine art or scupture than machines.
Hi Nick! This video is amazing!
Hey hey! Thanks so much! 🚂💨
Nice!!!
Awesome video
Thanks so much!
Very cool video of a gorgeous engine! Makes me want to get one for my layout. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! They have a Bachman model with the sounds and everything.
Dave, keep your eyes open at train shows for Lionel's Generals of varying forms, also MTH's versions if you like those old 4-4-0's. I prefer the MTH ones myself (I've got five) although the older Lionels will be old-school conventional with simpler electricals. Both shouldn't be hard to find, quite a few have been made over the years. I don't think anyone's done an O Gauge "York" yet.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 Lionel did/does make a model of the York, but it's $1,100 msrp
@@JohnDoe-bl7gj Yikes! That's a LOT of money for a toy! I think I'll call it a day with the 4-4-0's I've got!
Super nice old Loco and cars. They look like indoor museum pieces. Also, a very interesting cow catcher. I'm still having fun with the reissue of the Mikey Mouse circus set. You commented about the ones you have seen being very expensive. How much were they asking? Have fun.
Thanks so much for watching! That looks like a fun set! The one I’ve seen was a Lionel version, Mickey had a demented look on his face haha 😂
I spotted myself in the clip of the train arriving back to new freedom standing on the other side of the farther flagger and in the clip of the diesel you got and I filmed the second route for my channel
That’s awesome! Hopefully you had a great day watching and filming the NCR 🚂💨 it was a rainy morning but ended up becoming an afternoon!
@@NixCrossing it was awesome I love filming the train every time I get the opportunity to
@@everydayandrew3556 You definitely have to catch it up at the Howard Tunnel - the oldest continuously operating railroad tunnel in the world
@@NixCrossing that’s crazy that’s it’s the oldest and that would be awesome to film that someday
I have a video of it on the channel, feel free to use it to spot out locations.
Where did you park for the Glen Rock Siding shot?
Water plant has an access road
@@NixCrossing Did you need to get permission for that spot or is it ok to just show up?
If you’re worried about that lot, the rail trail runs right next to the siding. The lot isn’t posted.
@@NixCrossing Ok
