[gaycowboy31]

this is cool I was just listening to Fostoria Ohio and CSX down here in Texas on my cell phone

[electron2601]

how many cars did these engines often pull?

[franky98765]

Very interesting, thanks for posting this.....

[jdubbjazzbass]

these locomotives had a personality,all their own.there is nothing like a steam locomotive!

[mxracer334ky]

i used to go through fostoria before going to russell to work for csx. nothing like this film though.

[09JDCTrainMan]

2:57. Wheel slip.

[locomotive1804]

Those were the really great days of railroading! A man and his camera, pitted against the snow...

[6V92TA]

at 2:55 that is the most beautiful sound you can ever hear! A powerful Steam locomotive fighting for traction! It doesnt get no better than that! not even a full throttle EMD SD40-2 can sound better than that!

@6V92TA

back then they only dropped the sand down on the rails if the engine needed it after too many slips. now a days they drop it for the heck of it. honestly diesels are crap. i prefer the steam era better.

@hotrod347

Eh well....to all his own. I love all locomotives...diesels and steam alike. Diesels get the job done and pull the loads...thats all that matters.

[TheDepotCat]

This was the first video tape that I bought showing US steam and it introduced me to the B&O...Though I've got to say I have a liking for N&W steam and Sante Fe early diesels...Probably because of that brilliant piece of corporate design...The warbonnet livery.

[Robkat3751]

Engine at 4:31 sure sounds strange. Is it lame, bad rings?

[railfan456789]

This IS acual sound. This man obviously had spent a few dollars more for a camera with sound.

[dlc54]

According to Herron Rail most sounds are dubbed in from an extensive library of train sounds. You can read more at Herron Rail site.

[railfan456789]

Yeah I believe that they problably did that too. But I 'm a film buff, and the sounds on this piece a film a perfect! They HAD to be filming that day with a sound camera. Thanks for the tid-bit of info.

[TheDepotCat]

I read somewhere that Krofta had a friend who would record the sounds on a recorder as he was filming.

[robertgift]

@railfan456789 No. Not actual sound. Doesn't match the driver rotations.

Nice to hear sounds.

Why steam coming from leading trucks of tenders?

[ProTwoAm]

Simply fantastic! Is the audio dubbed, like on so many vintage steam videos? If so, this is a superb job as the synchronization is essentially perfect.

[jm32451]

I grew up on 524 Columbus Ave. I would sit and watch the trains from the front porch, back then the "Iron Triangle" was not a bigf thing.. Except when I was sent to Bugner's Grocery and had to wait for a train and the ice cream I bought melted :)

Sure miss the sound of steam engines!!

[Stetsonater]

i live 20 mins south,My grandma used to work in fostoria in the 50's & she can remember the trains going through town:)

[KOOLDAVE1953]
