    One of my earliest memories was of a steam locomotive in the early 50's. I was only about 2 years old. My mother had taken me to the N.Y Central train station in Auburn N.Y. to meet one of her relatives. I remember the big wheels, driving arms and steam of the engine. It scared the poop out of me, probably literally, and fascinated me at the same time.

    Jerry, I don't know if you bother reading all of these but thanks for NOT using a big zoom lens during approach and departure shots. I got the real sense of what a viewer at that location would see and experience whereas with the zoom it is impossible.

    • @jerryday2658
      @jerryday2658  4 года назад

      Farley, I was a US Air Force photographer and photojournalist for 22 years and then a writer and training developer for HP for 18 years. I started shooting 16mm movies for the Air Force in 1960. I agree with your comment. I normally am shooting stills at the same time as the video, so I put my Nikon on quiet mode and let the Sony capture it without zoom. Sometimes I do pan to follow the train. When I was first shooting 16mm in the 60s, had a Bolex with three lenses, no zoom, so I never got zoom happy....SMILE

      Robert, it was actually in Allston in the Beacon yards. Our house was on Pratt Street which was off of Linden Street. The yards have been moved out to Worcester and those yards are owned by Harvard and they are in the process of building a large development. It was part of the mainline that went out to Framingham, Worcester, and Western Mass. They used to "hump" those freight trains all night long and there was a loudspeaker on day and night. Somehow or other we were able to sleep through the noise and the banging.

    Nicely done, Jerry. Beautiful background as well and the sound of the whistle echoing off the surrounding mountains. Rocky Mountain high. You might have taken so close ups of the engine.

    Beautiful video. I have a question that perhaps someone here can address. What is the high pitched whirring sound that I hear from the steam locomotive? I'm not talking about the steam hiss, or the huff-huff. You can hear it in the first minute or so of the video. It sounds like a fan or a compressor. I've heard it on other steam locomotives, also. I'd really like to know what the source is. You can really hear it well at about 6:50.

    • @renegadeoflife87
      @renegadeoflife87 4 года назад +5

      That's the dynamo. It is a small steam turbine generator sitting just ahead of the cab that provides the electricity for the headlight and the instrument lights inside the cab. They run at a few thousand RPM and make that whistling-whining noise heard in almost every steam locomotive video. Some locomotives like the Big Boy actually carry 2 of them to get enough electrical power for all of the FRA-required equipment.
      Here's another video showing it in detail. Most engines it is right in front of the cab like this, and almost always has its own steam plume showing its location. ruclips.net/video/xx9Q8PphAVo/видео.html. The video is actually of D&RGW #491, sister of 493.

    Likewise...I remember the steam engines of the Norfolk and Western in Cincinnati.

Sixty yrs later the tracks are gone, and a scenic boulevard has taken their place. Xavier U owns most of the property around there now....That’s progress?
