The I1 decapod has to be one of the most under rated steam egines of all time. with a tractive effort of 89,000 pounds, it was the first non-articulated high horsepower frieght engine. Can't believe Pennsy did not install mechanical stokers on most I1's. Guess they thought it was cheaper to pay a second fireman. Can't imagine how one man could shovel enough coal to keep an I1 in steam on a grade!
Your PapPap would be proud, My Dad worked out of the Juanita shops when I was a Kid, but had to go trucking due to layoffs. Lived in the south for a while and could not get my friends to understand the magic of the CURVE, brought a friend here and she was .....wanted to stay all day The Magic of the Curve
its a bunch of old 8mm silent films my grand father had got in the 60s that where in bad shape so they got put on dvd and I edited them and put some of my own guitar music to it hope you enjoy theres more on my channel 420glass
Do you know if these were the same scenes filmed by benjamin t. young that herron used in there pennsylvania glory series because most of them look pretty familiar?
I don't know who shot the original film I found them with old home movies. I know they where not filmed by my family cause on the original there's text like silent film captions between scenes but no beginning or end credits and I cut the captions because they where very poor and made my own with some of the info. I don't take credit for filming, just editing and adding music. I work hard on these things and don't try to make a cent on them. I just like to entertain. I hope you enjoy
if you pause the video and let it download for a minute to let the sider get a head of the player slider its smooth I'm not sure why some vids do that but P have the same lame problem I think it's my connection cause it's not my compuker

He worked for the railroad in Altoona. I think he was an engine machanic.
