I can’t wait to see 1361 run again seems like some progress on the engine has been made. I wonder if that PRR tender outside will be used as the auxiliary water tender for 1361.
That tender is from the prr i1 class 2-10-0 there’s prr 4483 on display at the western New York railway historical society in Hamburg New York that tender behind the 4483 is the same design that tender at the railroaders memorial museum the tender is from another i1 class 2-10-0 that didn’t survive the one In Hamburg New York is the sole survivor of it’s class
It will get done, at least they will add stuff and change stuff that the original restoration crew didnt do that screwed the engine up in the first place. What was done in the 80s was destined to fail, the trailing wheels I think tried to jump the track when it was running in 1986 and 87
For the Pennsy T1, the long flat car outside of the museum has T1 tender trucks. Also, there is an original marker light and a whistle once used on a Pennsy T1 locomotive.
I have to agree with you. I've always liked the pre-War look for the K4's more, as the design looks more graceful like a dedicated passenger locomotive should. The post-War K4's aren't as appealing to me because of their more rugged and industrial appearance, which makes them look more like freight locomotives. And also, seriously, why did the Pennsy put the dynamo in front of the smokebox door? It just doesn't make any sense! it makes cleaning the locomotive harder because crews cleaning it would have had to remove it! Seriously, what were you thinking, guys?
This locomotive has been worked on for over 30 years, millions of dollars of grants, government aid, and engineering studies. Not much has been accomplished so far.
John you realize that the government wouldn't give aid for a locomotive to be restored in the 30 years right? Why would they? Plus the engine is much further ahead then you think as most of it is already done, it's only the last 20% left to do.
It's been tossed around from place to place when no one had the time or resources to work on it. This restorative effort seems far more dedicated and free of any financial hardships or buracratic red tape.
4:07. I have also had caught on film Ex-Conrail C40-8W 8340 and SD80MAC 7220 2.6 years before this.
Awesome video! Always nice to have update videos of the Spirit of Altoona's restoration. The return of this locomotive is the next big steam event.
Seeing Pennsylvania’s trains is a good feeling of the past
That GG1, in the beginning, looks like it's seen better days.
She’s coming together!!!!
This engine is something that really makes me smile, I really hope it's rebuild gets finished soon
Hey Jake! I see you everywhere! :D
As time moves on you have to appreciate what the PRR did building things that kept the country running to this day.
Well said there.
They are doing a good job restoring 1361

Seeing how it has 2 grills on it I doubt it
That’s definitely a good place to railfan
Wow I can't believe that now the Pennsylvania 1361 will be restored and run once again.
Was just there this past summer on august 5 and up to that point I didn’t know that they were trying to restore a K4 pacific
great progress video
Wow, i'm a italian fan and unfortunally in Italy there aren't those fantastic Museum😭😅
Epic

I'd go broke in that gift shop
Wow
This Poor pacific sounds like a good name for a train themed rock band.
It may take years to restore the PRR 1361
It all depends on the pace of fundraising. I know donations are being sent to K4 1361. It'll be done sooner than you think.
It will get done, at least they will add stuff and change stuff that the original restoration crew didnt do that screwed the engine up in the first place. What was done in the 80s was destined to fail, the trailing wheels I think tried to jump the track when it was running in 1986 and 87
If 1361 runs again in the future, she can tour around Pennsylvania!
I can't wait for it to visit bellefonte and pleasent gap again with the coaches and two RDCs
Once 1361's restoration is complete, She'll be able to run with 5550 once it's completed!
@@TrainsAreReallyCool What about LIRR 39? Let's not forget about her too!
eny parts of prr s1, s2, t1 left?
For the Pennsy T1, the long flat car outside of the museum has T1 tender trucks. Also, there is an original marker light and a whistle once used on a Pennsy T1 locomotive.
You guys are going to flame me for this:
K4 Pre War look > K4 Post war look
Who puts the dynamo generator in front of the smokebox door?
I have to agree with you. I've always liked the pre-War look for the K4's more, as the design looks more graceful like a dedicated passenger locomotive should. The post-War K4's aren't as appealing to me because of their more rugged and industrial appearance, which makes them look more like freight locomotives.

Edit; After watching a bit more of the video, it appears that they would have rotated with the smokebox door.
Number 1361 is getting coal to make her steam.
The bell at 5:46 sounds just like SP 4449’s
That gg1 looks quite dead
When is the next episode of dead on arrival
I have a special episode planned for this Halloween
Damn boy, slow that camera down.
Rusty Rolling stock
Maybe for now, but will soon be cosmetically restored.

They have FMW Solutions doing it now who are the same people who did U.S. Sugar 148

This restoration has been progressing much more than you think, John.

Sorry. This is unwatchable.
And yet you still watch it 🧐
Then why you watch it?
@@AdmiralColdhead Well, l hope his work will improve. He shows signs of talent. He’s inconsistent, which I expect at his (judgement call) age.
I feel like it’s a little school girl walking around giggling… somewhat strange… disturbing…
