Oh wait a sec, so dumb (you hear me!) Xantera sold the 18! Well at least she's with a RR that wants her, oh, and for anyone intrested, the RR she is now on uses her for lots of things like freight, pass, and locals. And in the future, you might see her with a tofc!

No offense Cockroach, but, why not scrap a British diesel instead! Anyhow, hopefuly they keep #18 running!

thats quite enough, to some of you guys. steam railways are a thing of the past, thats true. its a dinosaur technology today. there are also things that are not valued in monetary terms. your life is infintely valueable to YOU. each persons lie is infinitely valuable to them. steam railroads are a technology the CREATED the technology of today. it LED to the machines and power of today

Thank you for the nice compliment!
Steam locomotives are not coming back. They are being scheduled for scrapping and melted down for materials for new products. Yes me have scrapped many of them. However, there are still new products to be built and these provide the materials we need. After all, the steam locomotive is a 200 year old technology. Time to put the steam locomotive into the history books and stop financing their maintenance.
Besides, I need a place to try out my new torches!

Says you! Steam will eventually come back! Did you not comprehend my point that A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE IS STILL WORTH MORE AS AN OPERATING STEAM LOCOMOTIVE THAN IT IS AS SCRAP YOU DIPSHIT!!! can you understand that. Scrapping steam happened in the 50s and early 60s. it is over. stop living in the past and leave steam be. Get your metal somwhere else. Steam engines are not that abundant of a recource either.

It is true. Steam locomotives are never coming back. They are worth plenty in scrap value. The bell, air pumps, driving linkage and whistle are the most valued parts in the machine. When we get to the inside, it is the crown sheet and the steam chests which will bring the most money.
Why go anywhere else, when the is an readily abundant supply from machines that are already there for scrapping.
These machines cost too much to maintain and not worthy of museum pieces.
Time to junk them out!

Take 10 feet of 2 inch link chain. Find a space between the cross ties where the rail attaches to the cross ties. Wrap the chain around the rail as many times as possible, passing the end of the chain in through a space below the rail between the cross ties and the roadbed ballast rock. (Usually that is 1¼ inch crush rock.)
Get out of there and wait for your favorite steam locomotive to come down the trackway. Stay away by at least a half a mile.
Your steam locomotive will soon be a wreck!

Cutting torches are for any machinery dismemberment. Steam locomotives are even worth less than coaches because the operating rules for steam locomotives are so much more stringent, they can't be commercially run economically.
The coaches can be made to meet regulation easier, so they can be operated and used.
The steam locomotives are doomed and going to be headed for the scrap yard to be sliced up.
Goodbye steam locomotives, forever! Junk them!
May they remain in the history books!

It is true that steam locomotives outperform other forms of locomotives in polluting, cost of maintenance and cost of operation. It is true that steam locomotives outperform other forms of locomotives as financial losers for the stock RR holders!
The steam locomotive is deadly with boiler explosions. It is a killer.
The steam locomotive is ready for the oxy-acytelene torch and a plasma cutter. They are going to the scrap yard and the materials will be used to make new and better products.

No, I am not wrong. My mother was not a female dog.
These steam locomotives are set to be cut apart and introduced into an induction furnace.
The materials are perfect for ship siding, sea buoys and 200 pound per link anchor chain.
As a junk yard operator with a branch off this RR line, we are waiting for them to come in for the coup-de-gras.
We are RR equipment scrappers with a spur line into the yard for delivery and shipments.
Soon, these locomotives will be here for its ultimate fate.
Cockroach2008 3 years ago
What are you going to do? You don't have any power over these engines. They are privately owned, this one is still running. They are worth a lot of money. They perform better and more productively, and the organization that owns them is successful and is in no mood to get rid of them. why are you watching steam videos if you hate steam so much? Stop it. You are making yourself look like someone with problems. Steam rules asshole.

Thank you for the kind compliment!
These machines are being watched every day for their value in scrap. They are being considered for disposal. The one is still in operation, but it's maintenance costs are mounting and regulation changes on boilers are causing problems for the owners.
It is just a matter of time before they are parked, parted, junked out and cut up into pieces ready for a blast or induction furnace.
It will be good to see the materials reused for newer products!
Cockroach2008 3 years ago
You wish! You do not seem like a credible source of information. You do not know the financial state of this organization which happens to be doing very well. Steam rules! Steam is the best! It outperforms all other kinds of locomotives in positive and productive ways. Now don't try to twist what I say again.

I don't especially like diesels either. What did I say to make you think that?
I like cutting up old railroad equipment, especially steam locomotives! Plasma cutters and oxy-acytelene torches do wonderous things to these old relics of junk iron. They have long missed their date with the scrappers torch and we are catching up getting the ones that should have been disposed of many years ago.
It will be good for the nation as we turn the materials of steam locomotives into new products.

Well thank you! I will give it some serious thought as I cut up some more old railroad equipment. The steam locomotive the city turned over to us last month which was setting in a park as a static piece is now completely apart and the last of it is being loaded into the gondolas by Friday.
It is on it's way to the smelter where the production schedule there indicates they will be making manhole rings and covers with the melt.
What a fitting end for a steam locomotive! They are junk iron!
Cockroach2008 3 years ago
I still can't beleve they ended steam! maybe we'll get lucky and they'll sell them to another railroad where they can run again
