Thanx muchly for sharing this little treasure!
I absolutely adore trains!
I loved to watch them, and to hear their clickety-clack, chuff-chuff, wooooo-wooooooo, and other wonderful train noises.
Shame they're all gone now, those magnificent beasts.
I miss them.
Yes! Steam is great! and there is more - we have 25 videos in our trains and trams playlist.
I was there in Jan 1958 when Steam ended in Newark Ohio. Two years down in a machinist apprenticeship program suddenly it was over. But it ended up being the best thing for me. I joined the Navy and found a long career in electronics that led to computers.
I was born in March of 1958 up in Mt. Vernon, Ohio (north of Newark), and I've deducted that steam ended a month before I was born...on Nos. 73 & 74 in February of that year...an old Mikado..
@@choirboyfromhell1 Had several good friends in Mt V. Not all that far from 'Nerk'. W. Looker had a farm in the area. (probably still has?).
BTW I remember my mom (Warrington, born 1905 in St Louisville, talking about some Uphams in the family. I wonder?
@@frederickwise5238 David Allison, my Great-Grandfather, settled there in the early 1900's in the oil and gas business..might she had been related to him? Did you know Ike Myers..longtime conductor on Nos. 73 & 74, our local on the Lake Erie Sub?
@@choirboyfromhell1 No on both counts. Her name was Warrington. Her father raised and trained trotters, raced em in the area and at State fairs. Her grandparents on M side were Bosses from Petoskey Mi and on F side from Mass, fought in the Revolutionary war. GGgrandfather had been Geo Washington's personal aide. What is possible is one of her mother's several sisters had married an Upham. I really dont know moms genealogy.
I really enjoy seeing footage of steam locomotives in operation during the steam era, the B&O rr had an impressive roster of steam with their Mountains, Pacifics, Mikado's and articulated type classes that they owned.
Yes! it's important to keep these memories alive! and thank you for watching and commenting! there are more railroad videos on our channel, and I will try my best to create more..
This is the era that Dad worked as Brakeman on the B & O. He worked the extra board out of Chillicothe, Ohio until April 1952 when he was involved in a fatal accident while switching cars in Jackson, Ohio. His early days were spent working on the section gang, working his way up to Brakeman. Very good video, thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing your memories. And if you want more of railroad nostalgia check out our channel content.
I would bet your dad and my great grandfather met back then. He drove steam for B&O until he retired around 49 or 50 as I remember the stories. Well before I was born.
Great vintage B & O Steam action! Thank you sharing. S Belmont
Thank you for watching! and there are 27 more videos in our Trains and Trams playlist.
Couldnt leave without expressing my sorrow about the fate of several old ladies there. When I reached the point that I did lathe work, I turned some side rod bushings for one of them.
The pins on the drivers were not round but oval. As much as 3/4" more top to bottom than side to side and the holes in the rods were that same oval roughly 3/4" difference fore to aft as top to bottom.
Gone were the days when they had pulled long freights majestically out of the yard to some distant market under the hand of a skilled engineer. And they were not alone. It happened to many others in all of the divisions.
They had been relegated to the lowly tasks of shuffling cars around the yard. What an ignominious end for those once magnificent locomotives that had given their best for their masters. And time marched on, 65 years worth........
Thank you! Well put! The days of steam was really something!
@@Historiespanarna My last long ride was from San Francisco ET school to Willard Oh Jan 1959, Dad & mom picked me up and I went on to my 1st duty station. Ive taken a couple scenic tours under steam but it isnt the same. What I would give for One More Ride. .

The locomotive identified as a T-3 4-8-2 #751 is actually a T-4 4-8-2 that was purchased by the B&O from the Boston & Maine RR.
Great vidio, like the extended tenders as I've been building a few lately in 0 gauge.Thanks for the morning coffee...
Thank you! The days of steam was really something! Wow! building in O-gauge - the real deal! I had some model railroads myself - that have collected dust in the basement for a very long time.. just "building" videos now.
Stop by and have a look...
@@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877 I did - one mighty tender! and a great railroad!
Big Six's put on a great show, were any saved? sbelmont, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Nothing like steam! the real deal..
Steam giveway to Diesel on the B&O
what DVD is this from?
The content this video is based on is from archive.org (public domain) so I cannot say if it's on any dvd or perhaps from a vhs?
