    Nice job guys, this tells a lot of story in 5 minutes! Interesting to hear how many appliances got relocated in the recent overhaul. My first thought was it kind of conflicts with the much-hyped EBT originality, but in a way, carrying on the railroad’s efforts to improve what they had is even truer to their history. It seems some of those systems were still rather new and unfamiliar to the crews in 1916, and experience teaches a lot in over a century.

      @Hyce777  Год назад +12

      For me, it's one of those items of purpose - the EBT's legacy is not being exactly purposefully original, and they're not officially a museum - they've made the locomotive significantly more ergonomic in a way that most folks would have no clue about, and as well, if there ever was the desire to undo the changes, they were quite simple. Wins all around, in my book.

    @angryrailfan5711 Год назад +8

    Great video! I just have one slight correction, 16 can haul 60 hoppers but only to Rockhill not Robertsdale. It cannot take them to Robertsdale due to the grades between Rockhill and Pogue, and Saltillo and Robertsdale. It can take them to Rockhill because the railroad is pretty much flat from Mount Union to Rockhill except for McMullen and the grade from Mount Union to Allenport.

    Thanks again for another very excellent and informative post. You might also note #16 is finished as she (actually he as it is now named Nick) would have been in revenue service . Tourist Era trim would have been whitewall tires brass bands on the boiler jacket and red cab roof. I've been visiting the EBT for around 40 years and remember the locomotives being grimey with weathered paint and dented boiler jacketing. 16 is the cleanest sharpest I've ever seen an EBT engine. Please do more on the EBT as there is more interesting things to come. The future for the railroad is so bright you gotta wear shades😊.

    I don't remember if I commented as much on one of your videos, but it is amazing to me how seemingly unbothered 16 is by the short passenger trains the EBT runs. In most of the videos I've seen so far of her operating, she sounds like she's barely working...which makes sense given she was designed for hauling heavy (by narrow gauge standards) coal trains.

    Just last month I wondered to myself, when looking at the Southern valve gear, how it derives the motion that is normally provided by the combination lever. And here a video to ask the very question I was wondering on. Nice timing! I have a vague memory learning (probably from dad) that Southern derives it's lap/lead motion via a shaft to the motion on the opposite side? Am I using the right terms? Back to the books. In any case, I'm planning a trip to the railroad this year specifically to see Southern valve gear in action. And hear a proper exhaust. And smell oily steam. And hear dynamos and steam pumps.

Only 113 seems to have avoided any bumps in the road, while 1309 had a bunch of fundraising problems and parts theft, 3713 has gone through fits and starts (and will have its THIRD firebox since the rebuild began in the early 2000s), and 1361 is a story that doesn't need talked about (though she's definately having a much better time right now with her firebox design issues well on the way to being corrected).
