the 1361 was a old train but they keep it

[grizzleybearz282004]

i love those old steamers i like a few old diesel but no were as many as steam engines p.a n.y n&w s.f

[mocus1]

Wow, how many carbon credits would that cost ya?

[09JDCTrainMan]

@dcoursey82 A million pieces?

[mocus1]

The Vail Bridge is where old Rte 220 crosses this line just north of Tyrone

[mocus1]

Yes this line splits off the main line at Tyrone and goes north to Port Matilda and onwards........the main line follows the river east from Tyrone towards Spruce Creek

[Strasburg1991]

how much money does 1361 need for her to operate 1.5 to 3 million?

[dcoursey82]

This is in April of 1987

[JoeRailfan]

What a beautiful, mournful whistle--tuned to a minor triad. Perfect for the gray, gloomy day. That sound inspired a thousand folk songs.

at 4:06 is that the headlight of anther train in the distance ? i know tyrone very well and know that the mian line is back there but is out of veiw.

[OldsVistaCruiser]

The PRR K4s is the official state steam locomotive of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Why is she being allowed to languish?

Send her to the New Hope & Ivyland for her rebuild!

[jarl44]

I am a steam fanatic and heavy equipment operator. I have driven tractor-trailers for 24 years. I don't understand why the engineer did not maintain more power as he came in because he had a hell of a time gtting her out.

[notalott]

When railroads have been given easements to run down street-centers there are terms to the agreement including a low permanent speed restriction... This keeps little kids, etc... from getting pancaked/cut in half...

Amazing Steam Engine, it is said as the ghost of beauty, the whistle is just amazing, imagine hearing that at night!

[heavensfalling]

[kenjr29mfl]

[amtraklover]

[04Ranger4x4]

[kelbym07]

Oh, I must have forgot 10 while adding. Thanks

[Nokorola]

When is this footage from?

[traindude666]

what whistle is she wearing?

[dcoursey82]

Pennsy 3 chime..

[SouthernRR4501]

I think that is one of my most favorite whistles of all time.

[kd7tqn]

@dcoursey82

sounds an awful lot like an ashton 3 chime

[dcoursey82]

@kd7tqn That's because the ashton and the pennsy whistles both sound the same minor chord...but in this vid, the whistle has that throaty/raspy sound that's uniquely pennsy.

[superbeast94]

Which locomotive pollutes the air more? A steam locomotive or a diesel locomotive?

[alnboy90]

I think a diesel locomotive. The coal is a natural material, the diesl no

[sgprailfan]

Difine pollution?

[SeniorMinch229018]

That Daylight coach is a bit lost and out of place!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

That's what I was saying.

[Guser223]

very nice, when was this?

[4202EJW]

hi this is 4202L&N nice K-4 video I watched all your nice k-4 videos this one is on my favoites

[ashbytimuk]

What a beauty !

You may be interested to know that over here in th U.K. a group of enthusiasts spent over 18 years raising the money to build a brand new (yes, brand new!) steam loco from scratch. It is an A1 Class Peppercorn Pacific and was finally completed last year. you can see footage of its first fare paying passenger run on Youtube at this link: watch?v=qkkARP7PVVc

[imagreatbigman]

where is the 1361 now? is it still in steam town?

[fenderpwnage]

steamtown are a bunch of slowpokes! why don't they send 1361 to strasburg so the work will get done faster?

[dcoursey82]

It's actually not Steamtown that's the problem....they were just letting the Altoona Railroaders Museum work on the engine in their facilities. They never took any active role in helping to restore her, as far as I know.

[fenderpwnage]

i wonder why, i mean steamtown has 2 engines already running, and they take pride in fixing up their engines, but why can't they do the same for the Altoona guys?

[drfunk411]

Dont forget that steamtown is government run. If its not theirs then they wont work on it. I believe originally it was to be a "combined" effort. But the scope of the project changed somewhere. Im waitin on the #40 and the #3713.

[fenderpwnage]

well that's the government for ya :)
