Possible. As a kid, I road that line during a power outage and the electrics were inoperable. The loco was used to shuttle the cars out to the next stretch where the power was restored.
Very Nice Video. I didnt know my creation was on youtube. You should do another one showing more of the cab which was my baby. Good to see the sim is still alive and well!
looks good, but the I1sa was a freight engine...if you want to be more accurate, find a passenger locomotive like the k4s or something...just a suggestion...looks good though
Thanks. Yes, the Decapod was used primarly for freight, but sometimes used for passenger service in case of emergencies like power outages no cab bodies were available. I recall the GG1 being the popular engine of the era.
Well..if not a K-4 (4-6-2), how about a T-1 (4-4-4-4) or a M-1 (4-8-2)? Both were big, and definately steam locomotives. But I agree with you: an I1sa looks best hauling-or pushing-a heavy coal drag on a mountain grade. That was one of the beauties of the old Pennsy: the diversity of railroading conditions and, hence, its motive mower. Semper Fi.
Pennsylvania 6-5000 was written in 1939 by A. Glenn Miller, It was a phone number for his hotel room at the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City, As he was playing with the Ben Pollick's band at the time. before he had his own band.
Good video, but as said the I-1's were not used on Passenger trains just freights.
Thanks for the music history :). I had an orginal 78 of it, but it got lost over the it years.
As for the I-1's, I recall one trip from Philly I took as a kid where the GG1 that was supposed to pull the passenger consist I was traveling on broke down halfway to Baltimore. They brought in a Deca to take its place and took us the rest of the way. One old timer on the car said "Dang diesels! They should have never got rid of the steam!" I agree.
lol. thats true. But in normal service, the I1s were not Pennsy pulling power simply becuse they did not have the steam heating for passinger car hookups. allthough I have seen them in use on work trains which consisted of self suporting passinger cars
The I1's were used mainly to allow the trains to travel under the 30th station and not choke the passengers above with acrid smoke. I'll post another with the I1's and passenger consist using Auran's Trainz and the NEC layout soon.
It's actually the phone number for the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC (built by the PRR and across from Penn Station), where Miller frequently stayed and performed.
That phone number is still held to this day by that hotel (in today's numbering system, the number is now 212-736-5000).
It is the longest-continuously-used phone number in NYC, if not the world. It was assigned to the hotel in 1919, 90 years ago.
True, the "Decapod" was used primarily for freight operations in the United States, but used for passenger service overseas. I just put this consist together for the PRR as an ethectic scene, not an accurate one.
An I1 2-10-0 in passenger service? Must be a leisurely schedule!

yea it was, but a GG1 just doesn't compare to the beauty and romanticism of a big steam locomotive

They were, which was the purpose of electrifying the tracks.

I1s were never used on Passinger trains, If wanted a true Pennsy stile train you shuld have used a K4s or an Atlantic.
