R&N #425 - Steam Returns to the Lehigh Line (Part 2)

[PowerPawsNW]

Truly exquisite imagery...especially the deck bridge/swimmers and tunnel sequence. Now that I see your mention of the BC&G 4-spot's whistle my aural memory kicks in and takes me back to Dundon... but there is some similarity to the Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern 2-6-2 and 2-8-2 whistles, too. Can we so "Southern" quilling?

[railfreek]

yOU'D THINK THE DIESELS COULD FOLLOW BEHIND INSTEAD OF BEING IN TOW. Looks like the R&N have no confidence in their treasure.

[shininghappyperson7]

amazing video!!!!!!!! i was on the train that day it was very cool to ride ,but now i also got to see what the locomotive was doing when i was in teh coach.nice whistle

[acdc9902]

It IS the whistle off BC@G #4...and yes we are paid.

[bnsf261]

is 425's crew PAID?

[spf150]

For a second I was wondering why they threw in a pair of helpers.

[MandavoshkaMajafaja]

Hey schizophrenic Len, see a psychiatrist!

[FluesheetMcFajabahn]

Okay, I just read this entire debacle from the first post and this is proposterous. Joe, you produce some amazing videos and I commend you for that first of all. Knightwolf, Conrail, LEN you're all the same person, you're fooling nobody. For a man who is over 30 its just apalling to lack even the most basic spelling and grammar skills. You'd figure since you live at home with mommy that she'd have taught you something by now? Do us all a favor, put down the camera and jump in front of a bus!

[PRR1223]

what whistle is she wearing? is that a CNJ 3 chime?

[ThatYankeeKid]

From what I know the CNJ used deep, "steamboat" whistles, much like the Hancock 3-chime on UP844. The whistle on the 425 sounds like either a PRR 3-chime, or a Lunkenheimer 3-chime, which sound very similar to one another.

[EssChee]

Buffalo Creek & Gauley 3-chime whistle, privately owned by a 425 crew member.

[dcoursey82]

It's actually a Baltimore & Ohio 3-chime that sounds the same as one that was ONE a BC&G engine in the past...

[EssChee]

OK. If you say so.

SG (425 crew member).

[dcoursey82]

If I am wrong, then I apologize, I'd asked what whistle it was a couple times in the past and was always given that answer.......not trying to sound like a know-it-all or anything.

[2102FAN]

Hey, joe was todays White haven tunnel shot just like the one in this?

[WM734]

btw great video joe

[WM734]

im not a minor anymore so len can go ahead and fuck me up!!! i dare ya!! :p

[ReadingFP7900]

Grow Up Fool.

John.

[Knightwolf2102]

You grow the fu?ken up, your the fu?king fool.

Dennis Blank, Jr.

[Miketherailfan]

Change from John to Len and you should be good on that...

[EssChee]

FIRST RATE !

TOP QUALITY JOB !

[Engineer5344]

Dennis, i understand your anger and frustration. but violence is not gonna solve anything.

[Engineer5344]

guys, why do you all do this. if dennis says he is not len shaner, then why keep on harrasing him. why does this stuff keep on happening. why can't we for once, we all just enjoy the videos, joe and other people make. instead of harrasing others. it doesn't solve anything. so please, lets all just stop harrassing one another, and just enjoy the video. please, im a man of peace, not violence

[Knightwolf2102]

The reason they keep on Harassing me or anyone else is because get a high from it, they are addicted to making trouble for someone, and they don't care if it's I or who ever. But if they continue to do it with me, I don't give a F??k about them being minors, I'll F??k them up any way. If they want to act like adults them they have to get hurt like one. I haven't step down from a fight yet. Dennis

[grvolans]

Great job!!!!

[CSX6000]

WOW! Great shot on the Lehigh River and like Tom said.. that tunnel shot is AMAZING! Too bad I left early. You video definetly was better than mine this time... you just had so much more.

[railroadfan]

If you don't have anything nice to say, then I highly suggest you keep your comments to yourself.

[CSX6000]

I'd like to see you produce a better video Dennis (I MEAN LEN).

Grow up and get a life.

[Knightwolf2102]

Hey little F??K, would you like to tell that to my face? You f??king little shits think your so F??king big on here, I like to see how F??king big you would be in person.

It's easy to sit behind the keyboard. Don't be starting shit with me, because I'll win. I'm not F??king Shaner. And I'm not F??king around.

Dennis Blank, Jr.

[CSX6000]

You're right Dennis (LEN), it is easy to sit behind a keyboard and pretend you're someone else when you're really a low life that needs to grow up.

I like how you think that you're gonna beat me up. Remember sir, I'm a minor. There's CRIMINAL charges if you were to even lay a FINGER on me; and if you did, I'd have you thrown behind bars for good (where you belong).

[Knightwolf2102]

Yes your a f??king minor, but have you ever heard of St. Gages? if not that's where they send kids your age, when they think, they are know it all's. Don't be threaten me, you little ass hole, I have lots of friends. You just don't know where they might pop up next. Just keep watching. you might see one soon. Because I know where you live. And I'll let them know too.

Dennis Blank, Jr.

[CSX6000]

And wouldn't that be a form of STALKING too? I have not committed any crime nor threatened you. I have simply stated the consequences of your actions.

[Knightwolf2102]

Hey Little Shit, How Fu?cking stupid do you think I am? Don't answer that, Because I know the answer. The only one stalking anyone is you fu?king kids, I saw the fu?king webite's you have up on Shaner, I wouldn't even stoop that low, Now to call me, him, your Fu?king nut's. And Adam I thought you were leaving youtube? I see you do nothing but lie. your just as fu?king bad as Shaner.

Dennis

[AmtrakWPK]

Dennis Blank my ass... you are NOT the real Dennis, LEN. NICE TRY!

[CSX6000]

Ahh but he IS a menace... Dennis the Menace!

[joneau261]

YES! Your first two parter simply means double the action and great footage! Wonderful, and absolutly brilliant videos, Joe!

Hi all,

In part Three of our video's on the Tunkhannock Special we have the only of two shots from under 425, the other shot is in the Pittston Wye video, we also have White Haven Trestle, from on top and from below. Also the video has a few gliches and that's from when I up loaded on Youtube. they were not part of my production when made. I posted a video link, So check it out.

Len.

[Conrail6370]

We also have the most video's of this special on youtube, We had taped over 48 hours worth of video, from the Test fire at Port Clinton July 9th to the Ferry move up - the ferry move home.

Quantity doesn't mean a thing when you lack quality. People would much rather have a quality well produced video (like the one featured here) vs. one with crappy pop-up-like subtitles, TALKING, SHAKING, and especially what you may think is the 'money shot'. I've practically cashed in the 'in-between-the-rails shot' and the 'low-tie' angle. Just about every video from Feb '07 on features one much like it.

[drfunk411]

Awesome tunnel shot. I mean really thats a keeper.

[Miketherailfan]

That White Haven shot is really spooky...

[pypabe]

Very nice video congratulations! Très belle vidéo Félicitations de Belgique !

[Engineer5344]

and what a sight, when coming out of the white haven tunnel

[Engineer5344]

they were smoking up a storm, when pullin out of jim thorpe

[AmtrakWPK]

Joe, THIS IS AWSOME! The tunnel shot is amazing! So when can I expect a 425 DVD? HAHAHAHA! Keep up the great work!

[WSOR10C]

great video!!! stunning quality!!!

[jimbo2317]

another fantastic vid! Joe, you have the best vids/scenery from the trip!

[EssChee]

Lenny,

Joe and Adam both dusted you a long time ago.

Their worst shot is better than anything you ever got.

[AmtrakWPK]

Agreed!

[AmtrakWPK]

Alright Len, are we a little jumpy today? Did somebody forget to use the lube last night? Yeah, I know you are Len because only Len would say: "The only thing I can say good about Shaner's video's, I do like the Ghost train of the Susquehanna Valley, that was well done! It shows what you can do with night shot. and he uesed his tri pod too."

[2102FAN]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CSX6000]

Thank you. LOL

[Miketherailfan]

Ain't that the truth! Plus the downfall of Lenny's videos is not only does he shoot on a tripod less than frequently, he talks in his videos. Nobody wants to hear Len talk to himself or what not.

[railroadfan]

My my my Lenny, for someone who is supposedly a Christian believer, ya'think you would know something more about what the Bible has to say about PRIDE and ARROGANCE? It's sad that a 30-something year old man can find nothing better to do with his time than sit around all day and rip apart teenage boys' railfan videos to make himself look better. Get a life!!!

[Knightwolf2102]

Hey Railroadfan, Lenny is just doing the same thing all the TV commercial have done for years, and that's competing against one another, Like You don't want to drink that Beer, when you can have this great tasting tastes of Miller's lite. It's the same thing. But then there's the facts, that Joe's video are a hell of a lot better by far. Then Shaner's!

Dennis Blank Jr.

[CSX6000]

Journey Back Into My Anus Productions is worthless. The only good videos you've ever produced we're ones NOT FILMED BE LENOERD F. SHANER JR.

[AmtrakWPK]

AMEN ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2102FAN]

Nice work joe and them kids looked like they were haveing fun, liked the 425 atomic bomb shot at White Haven tunnel!!! DK.

[JoMiFu]

It does look like an "atomic bomb" at 4:50, doesn't it? Haha.

[shininghappyperson7]

@2102FAN i love that shot its classic i loved the smoke and the steam whurling around the coaches and the whistle befor exiting the tunnelAWSOME!425 is awsome
