i love these old carbodies, and they do look a lot better, but honestly, in America at least, our modern diesels dont look that bad. The wide nosed diesel even bare a vague resemblance to these
Outstanding! What a beautifully shot and well-compiled video showing the early years of the locomotive. It's amazing that these have all been preserved and looking pristine. Using the turntable was like the railroad version of a cat-walk.
It truly warms my Heart knowing that this much historical motive power has been preserved, including the beautiful work done by Union Pacific. People who cannot appreciate this stuff and feel it should be scraped, themselves should be scraped.
The E's and F's are the most handsome faced diesel locomotives ever built, IMO. Especially that Burlington Route E5, holy smokes!! Clad in stainless steel with that angled nose, takes my breath away every time.
Absolutely right! It just screams "look at me" I am the REAL streamliner and don't you forget it! Used to run my legs off down to the 3 track mainline in Hinsdale, Il, to watch the Zephyr's fly by and I do mean fly! Great memories!
These streamlined engines had class and individualism. Nothing like the no style and bland engines we see today. My father worked for the C&O for 45 years so I was thrilled to see the C&O engine. Wish I could have seen it in motion, but no complaints here! Thank you so much for sharing this preservation.
@@vsvnrg3263 I kinda disagree. A lot of these are still moving passenger trains at Tourist or preservation lines, The NS ones also were doing the OCS trains on NS
@@NishnaValleyRailVideos , i'm just stirring you up. its a good thing that they still exist and still get used. in the south east states of australia the australian equivalents are still getting flogged, doing what they were designed for - notch 8. notch 8 daily.
A magnificent display. It's one thing to see the beautiful paint schemes from the glory days of railroads but to actually see them move under their own power is just plain awesome. I know the video has been around for awhile and I may have even seen it before when it was first uploaded, so I may be repeating myself here. When I clicked on this I figured most of these have to be cosmetic retorations. Watching them work is quite a thrill for a train nerd!!
So envious of anyone who was there to witness this incredible pageant. Overcast skies were actually the best lighting to bring out the rich colors and you did a great job capturing these magnificent beauties. Wish I was there.
My goodness! What beautiful, mesmerizing machines! A true testament to man's skill and ingenuity. Wonderful filmography/production as well. Thank you for this!
I found the Pan Am Streamliner parked on a siding in Westford Mass. last fall. I took a bunch of pictures. This train was from my childhood and I was thrilled. It is (was) pristine.
Great video! Good show! The Burlington Silver Pilot is the epitome of the streamlining era. The different horns and whistles were a special treat. Hope they plan to put on this event every year.
This is just plain fun, and thanks for sharing it! Good lord, all these historic locos look so shiny and healthy, it's a joy to see and hear them running!
A gathering like this has turned out to be a one time deal, as several of the diesels shown here have already changed ownership. It was quite the sight
What an event! Nice of the weather to cooperate to culminate the spectacular logistics, planning and magnificent confluence of these beautifully preserved representatives of the age of the streamliners. So many classic roads represented with fabulous livery. Hats off to all who worked to make this happen, and document and upload!
I attended this event and I was absolutely floored that I was fortunate enough to see so many historic units in one place. I was doubly astounded that an Alco PA managed to come back from the grave in time to make the event.
@@DynamoProductions-trains I attended this and the heritage unit event. Both were well put-together and I saw paint schemes in motion that I thought I would only see in my dreams.
I always liked the Alco carbody models better. The Nickel Plate 190 (Alco PA) is one of my all time favorites, partly due to its history. It never powered a Nickel Plate route AFAIK.
Didn't know there were any Alco PAs left. Unforgetable, as a little kid, hearing the whine of those engines out of the station 3 blocks north past my grandma's house (about 75' from the tracks). E units were OK, but that long hood in Santa Fe warbonnet and the sound of them accelerating was just AWESOME. A-B or A-B-A on the way to San Diego. Thanks for this. UNFORGETABLE: Late in the Korean War, about 2AM, I was awoke by the the RARE sound of a loud steam whistles, and looked out the window in awe, as 3 HUGE Santa Fe steam engines roared by, hauling a military train bound for San Diego - endless flat cars loaded with tanks, cannons, and other military vehicles, plus box cars, I assume, that were laden with ammo/small arms. Another helper was cut in 3/4 back in the LONG consist. I was only 5+, but I think they were 2-10-4s. Then, very close behind, came the blair of the horns from 4 ALCO PA/PB units hauling a long troop train of old heavy weight passenger cars. Don't know how I ever got back to sleep.
That E8 515 ran our Batesville, Mississippi to Pope, Mississippi "Christmas Train". Last year though the coaches derailed, the engine was much less intact and fine, still on the rails. Grenada railway had to cancel all preceding Christmas trains on their track, so 812 returned home. It was nice seeing you every year and hope to see you again 812!
Wow, what a treat! Such an awesome gathering of beautiful and historic machines. Reminds me of an air show where so many classic airplanes are brought together. Can only imagine how many skilled and dedicated folks there are keeping these running so well. And, kudos to the organizers of the event- how in the heck do you get all these engines together at once!? Thanks for posting this.
These streamlined diesel locomotives and J class #611 are beautiful. The C&O F3 is actually Clinchfield #800 just in C&O paint scheme and a different number #8016. These streamliners are old but still looking mighty fine.
70 years ago the old-timers considered such beauties intruders into the rightful domain of Steam. They would have scoffed at the idea that diesels could ever be objects of nostalgia. How wrong they would have been.
Beautiful collection (if only for a few days). I'd never seen the Erie paint scheme like that before. And my favorite scheme was at 10:42 - B&O passenger blue & gray. :-)
Outstanding video, what a awesome day for you. All of the engines are beautiful: I couldn't pick just one as my favorite! Thank you for sharing this wonderful event.
Wow!!! After watching this fabulous video of stunning diesel-electric locomotives, I feel so happy and grateful that I am the proud owner of three Overland Models HO scale brass F-unit A-B-A trainsets and 1 factory painted HO brass F-unit A-B trainset, also from Overland Models. Someday, I'll get, at least, one of the 3 F-unit A-B-A trainsets painted. Not all of the them. The painted F-unit trainset in the A-B formation is adorned in the famous AT&SF red and silver warbonnet paint scheme and looks absolutely beautiful. I plan to add more HO brass F-units, from Overland Models, to my growing HO scale brass engine and rolling stock collection. 😊 I truly enjoyed this video, and I will watch it again and again and again. 👏😁 I also want to add, your cinematography is excellent! 👍 📽️ 📸
A bit different than UK diesels. I moved to Australia 48 years ago, we have many similar diesels, emds Goodwin AlCO. Only America could come up with such a magnificent collection of heritage diesels? A feast of colour, some beautiful liveries indeed. I would love to have been there.
I would say the Pennsylvania and the Burlington route. The Union Pacific is nice, but I LOVE the stainless shiny steel and the streamlined front of the Burlington one.
Being from Omaha, I'm partial to UP too. Several family members worked for UP. I think they are all beautiful. The F's and E's will always be my favorites.
That they're all gorgeous but like most of you said, that E5 is in a class by itself - it's from the age when people wore tuxedo's and gowns for a night out- if a train could be said to be wearing a tuxedo - it's that Zephyr. If you've seen the video's of the inside of the cabs they're a little disappointing. I would design the interior to look as sharp as the exterior.
because there are unhappy people trolling the internet just looking around to upset people. they need to get a better attitude to life. this is not a perfect world. i need to add, before i worked out how the like and dislike buttons work i accidentally disliked something. i had to work out what i had done and then work out how to reverse it. i may have accidentally liked or disliked other videos prior to this without realising it. sloppy cursor work. i make a point of never "disliking" anything intentionally.
I was glad it was there, since an event called Streamliners, meaning "passenger trains" would be incomplete without an example of a streamlined steam engine. I was worried that 611 would end up hogging the spotlight meant for diesels, but it was thankfully downplayed
It would not have been if it had been steamed up! Guess I'm one of those "obsessive types" that likes to group things in minute categories- Steam Streamliners, Electric Streamliners, Diesel Streamliners. Drive myself crazy sometimes.
The streamliners started and got their fame with steam locos with great shrouding. The diesels just inherited those name trains and since streamlining was a hot thing they obviously needed to be to be considered fit to pull passenger trains at the time.
Earlier I posted the question of why the old locomotives had portholes in them. At first I thought loco's had extra rooms in them, which they don't. But I saw a fillm of the interior of one, and it turns out that they have hallways in them, that are lined with machinery, but for some reason are not lighted. The portholes, it appears, are the only sources of light that allows the crews to operate the engines and generators and such, and well as giving them access to rear doors that many of the old loco's had, far behind the cabs.
Interesting to note that only the lead unit was working. The B unit has still not been restored to run, and the trailing A unit was having issues. The 664 certainly put on a good show
I live in Southern California, the tourist railroads we have down here aren't nearly as big, minus the State Railroad Museum but I haven't bee there is over 10 years. This transportation museum looks awesome!
Nice video. @3:06 the UP Loco is moving & all of a sudden there is a big kettle on top of it. I thought how in the hell does the train get in and out of tunnels with that kettle on top. Well, being from CA I thought Granny Clampett needed it to cook in. Then I figured out it was a water tower or something along those lines.
I once saw the Southern Crescent headed by classic Southern Railways colors in Wilmington, Delaware once. A huge storm of very fine snow driven by heavy winds had laid up all the GG1s.
Happy Easter in 2021. It is too bad that the Aerotrain experimental units builtby E M D in 1956 the L.W.T.12 Class did not come. After their cross country demo tour and trials, they were bought by the Rock Island RR for commuter service from Chicago West bound to Aurora. But due to operational problems they only lasted about 8 years. Then in 1966 the two-2 Diesels plus 4 coaches were donated to 2 different RR Museums. Diesel 3 and 2 coaches are now at St. Louis. Diesel 2 and 2 coaches were sent to The National Railroad Museum here in Green Bay. The 2 coaches were used at different times to actually give visitors rides around the small circular track, but they were usually pulled by the tiny Plymouth industrial gas engine number 702, but after the museum mechanic was fired, the 702 broke down, then just sat around, until a very different manager was hired and scrapped the 702. But the Aerotrain coaches and diesel were just left outside in the winter snows for 25 years, and became very Rusty and Vandalised. When a new good manager was hired in 1986 he organized the fund raiser to get several pieces repainted. But in 1989 he was fired randomly with No Warning. Then all 6 restoration project were dropped and stopped. Thus for the past 32 years, (now it is 2021), that these 6 projects have just been sitting, disassembled, with pieces scattered about, but some of these important pieces have been thrown quite carelessly into the scrap bin!! Even worse, is that 12 other pieces now also need to be repainted. But they cannot get any local rail fans to help, because in 2007 still a different Director decided to kick out the model railroad club that had volunteered to build a massive H.O. scale layout in the Hood Junction station since 1988, for a total of 19 years. But this Director tried to get a Court Order to have the Club Evicted on the Charges of "Illegal Trespassing". Sadly the Club decided to leave. They eventually built their new H.O. railroad in De Pere. Truly, I hope and Pray, that better times are ahead. May GOD, and Jesus, and The Holy Spirit Bless All of You with the Wisdow to Conquer the evil beings that cause us so much trouble, But let us be Blessed. AMEN+++!!!
I wonder why they were not there, they are extremely beautiful, the War Bonnets were very common here on the west coast. Great video, thank you for sharing. I've watched it a couple of times already.
It really just came down to scheduling. We know the KCS office car units were invited, but KCS had a conflicting event. For Santa Fe, numerous offers were made, but no one was available. It took considerable effort to get the NKP PA to Spencer, so it appears it just didn't come together for a Warbonnet from California or Texas.
18:45 The Burlington Silver Pilot is beautiful, but that horn sounds like something out of a junior high band practice. I can fart prettier than that. Mercy!

The modern diesels are probably built more boxy so that they are easier to mass produce and rebuild and repair after accidents.

I live in Southern California, the tourist railroads we have down here aren't nearly as big, minus the State Railroad Museum but I haven't bee there is over 10 years. This transportation museum looks awesome!
Enjoyed every minute. Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed
Nice video. @3:06 the UP Loco is moving & all of a sudden there is a big kettle on top of it. I thought how in the hell does the train get in and out of tunnels with that kettle on top. Well, being from CA I thought Granny Clampett needed it to cook in. Then I figured out it was a water tower or something along those lines.
Thank you for videoing them. Would have been nice to hear the full description on each unit. But are all beautiful streamlined locomotives.
Glad you enjoyed
I once saw the Southern Crescent headed by classic Southern Railways colors in Wilmington, Delaware once. A huge storm of very fine snow driven by heavy winds had laid up all the GG1s.
Just beautiful so nicely restored perfect job done that took years to do.
Glad you enjoyed
Happy Easter in 2021. It is too bad that the Aerotrain experimental units builtby E M D in 1956 the L.W.T.12 Class did not come. After their cross country demo tour and trials, they were bought by the Rock Island RR for commuter service from Chicago West bound to Aurora. But due to operational problems they only lasted about 8 years. Then in 1966 the two-2 Diesels plus 4 coaches were donated to 2 different RR Museums. Diesel 3 and 2 coaches are now at St. Louis. Diesel 2 and 2 coaches were sent to The National Railroad Museum here in Green Bay. The 2 coaches were used at different times to actually give visitors rides around the small circular track, but they were usually pulled by the tiny Plymouth industrial gas engine number 702, but after the museum mechanic was fired, the 702 broke down, then just sat around, until a very different manager was hired and scrapped the 702. But the Aerotrain coaches and diesel were just left outside in the winter snows for 25 years, and became very Rusty and Vandalised. When a new good manager was hired in 1986 he organized the fund raiser to get several pieces repainted. But in 1989 he was fired randomly with No Warning. Then all 6 restoration project were dropped and stopped. Thus for the past 32 years, (now it is 2021), that these 6 projects have just been sitting, disassembled, with pieces scattered about, but some of these important pieces have been thrown quite carelessly into the scrap bin!! Even worse, is that 12 other pieces now also need to be repainted. But they cannot get any local rail fans to help, because in 2007 still a different Director decided to kick out the model railroad club that had volunteered to build a massive H.O. scale layout in the Hood Junction station since 1988, for a total of 19 years. But this Director tried to get a Court Order to have the Club Evicted on the Charges of "Illegal Trespassing". Sadly the Club decided to leave. They eventually built their new H.O. railroad in De Pere. Truly, I hope and Pray, that better times are ahead. May GOD, and Jesus, and The Holy Spirit Bless All of You with the Wisdow to Conquer the evil beings that cause us so much trouble, But let us be Blessed. AMEN+++!!!
Would have been nice to see. couple of War Bonnet Santa Fe's represented..
Don't forget KCS
I wonder why they were not there, they are extremely beautiful, the War Bonnets were very common here on the west coast. Great video, thank you for sharing. I've watched it a couple of times already.
It really just came down to scheduling. We know the KCS office car units were invited, but KCS had a conflicting event. For Santa Fe, numerous offers were made, but no one was available. It took considerable effort to get the NKP PA to Spencer, so it appears it just didn't come together for a Warbonnet from California or Texas.
Barry Carlisle yeah there are some missing the sante fe the kcs the bn I and 2 would have bin nice but they look like shit now.
Dynamo Productions There’s an operating war bonnet in California?
18:45 The Burlington Silver Pilot is beautiful, but that horn sounds like something out of a junior high band practice. I can fart prettier than that. Mercy!
Had me cracking up too.
I laughed too much and too hard at this. I regret nothing.
The sliver pilot is the only E5 in existence
