Wilmington & Western - A Double Header!

[pennyf9]

doesn't the W&W have a 2-6-0 similar to Strasburg 89 and Middletown and Hummelstown 91? is is #92?

[pennyf9]

i believe #98 was built by Alco (Schenectady) in 1909 for the Mississippi central, glad this 4-4-0 didn't meet the scrappers torch, #58 was built in 1907 by the Baldwin Locomotive works for the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic railroad.

Junk all the remaining steam locomotives!

The headlights at 0:03, 1:28, 2:24 & 3:06 make great targets for several well placed rifle rounds. 10,000 points for shooting out the big one in the center & 100,000 points for shooting out the little ones on the right & left side. 2,000 points for every window in the coaches shot through.

25,000 points for shooting out one of the birds at 4:32 & 125, 000 points for shooting out both birds!

This equipment should have been cut apart & melted 50 years ago!

Junk all the steam locomotives!

@Cockroach2008 Dude seriously keep your god damn mouth shut! You are a no good fucking troll! We don't give a shit on what you think! Steam Locomotives rule and they could run your ass over! Fuck You!

In the begining, was that greenbank? I didn't see any part of the station there. But nice vid I loved it!

[colliecandle]

Excellent video! I am very partisan regarding my own 'region' of loco's and rolling stock [GWR] but I reckon I am falling in love with these beautiful loco's and that whistle!!! Just sends shivers down yer back!

[edwarddaves]

very nice, enjoyed the video greatly

[TheTenwheeler]

Is that 4-4-0 a Richmond? Because Richmond Locomotive Works was absorbed by Alco in the 1900's. Five stars. Love the 4-4-0 and whistle.

[DarkMouseyFan114]

@TheTenwheeler No it was american locomotive works. If you go to there website you can find out.

[andrewbnsf]

What kind of whistle does #98 have and #

[lowtechtimes]

I really enjoyed this video. When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to the W&W. I not only remember the #98, but also the #92 and saddletank engine #3. Do you know where those engines are today?

[maryandrobby]

98 leads the train 92 need money so it can e rebult and #3 was sold to the queen annes rr it some where in lower delaware

[fenderpwnage]

is the 0-6-0 a pennsy engine? i was just wondering because it had that pennsy tender.

[trainfan261]

Pennsy tender? That's a standard sloped tender for a switch engine.

#58 is an ex-Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad engine

[fenderpwnage]

i know, i just always see them on pennsy switchers. sorry, i wasn't thinking when i posted the comment.

[yourweathertodayHD]

don't worry about it :) but yeah they are everywhere...search Baldwin Locomotive Works 26

[Kleman09]

thats a slope back tender. Not all slope backs were Pennsylvania rr.

[master1246boy2]

such beauty!!!

=)

[chevydodge85]

I wish every railroad was still using steam engine.

[WhyAyeMann]

I like the 4-4-0's whistle. It reminds me of the Valley RR mikado in connecticut.

I also like the 3 cabooses. Nice touch.

[SR722]

beautiful- 58 is the last AB&C steam locomotive in existence, and is still operating to boot .

[ejovadi]

Very good video about BIG double engine steam trains. Take a look ad my video, you will see small double engine steamtrains (trams).

[WA1LBK]

Interesting doubleheader, 4-4-0 & 0-6-0! GREAT camera work! (Loved the "run-over" shot!). :D

[sanddragon99]

Thats gutty to place a camera in front of the steamer to get that running over view! wow !

[TrainmasterCurt]

That's a large 4-4-0, must've been one of the later ones, our PDC 4-4-0 Old No.3 is 125 years old this year, and will running again next year, pdcrailway dot com

[mythicky]

the double engines remind me of the story of the little red caboose.

[petesrr]

First Class Video First class train ! Thanks

[Galaxy2517]

Absolutely beautiful!

[railroadfan]

Wonderful video, Joe! An absolute pleasure to watch. Both engines have beautiful whistles... I love hearing them echo through the forest. Again, great job!

[JoMiFu]

No, in it is not a Pennsy 3 chime. It's actually a whistle off of an old factory, but is atleast a 3 chime. It does sound very similar to a PRR whistle.

[dcoursey82]

Wow it does sound very similar...are you absolutely sure it's not a PRR 3-chime?

[JoMiFu]

Yeah. It's not a PRR 3 chime. I'm 99% certain. ;)

It's a factory whistle. Not even a locomotive whistle at all.

[USMCnBNSFdude]

@JoMiFu sounds like a boat whistle I've heard...

[CassFan5150]

@dcoursey82 Its either a PRR or Lunkenheimer. Not many people made 3 chimes round top other than Powell, Lunkenheimer, and PRR...

[mtc1156]

i love the whistle on the 4-4-0!!!is that a pennsy 3 chime joe? it sounds alot like this whistle they used on the 7002 at strasburg.

[CSX6000]

Very neat Joe! I really love the second angle at Barely Mill Rd.
