Im wondering if you recieved the rights to this video from MADACY Entertainment. Their video contains EXACTLY the same footage as seen here. In fact, the narration is very much the same! Their title is the same too! "Twilight of Steam".
Actually Madacy received the rights to this video from us, along with a number of other videos they market which came from the Green Frog Railroad Video Library!
When paperwork is lost on a steam engine...due to fire...or whatever the circumstances...there are 2 things crucial to getting everything in order...#1 is money and #2 is performing a complete 1472 day overhaul. There are many engines out there today running that did not come with a stack of "My Own Running History" folders. Any engine can be made to run for a price. If EVERY rail fan would antie up say $1000.00 every year to steam...well you get the picture.
nostalgic...she and her sisters 45-46-48-49 and 50 worked exclusively on CNR commuter service between Montreal & Vaudreuil, often racing with the CPR trains next to it. A few finished their days on the short stub between Pointe-Calumet and St-Eustache c1960.
This Loco is still in the Steamtown collection. If they are going to continue with Canadian steam this would be more economical to use rather then 3254. Use 2317 or that Boston & Maine engine if it ever gets finished for the heavier special trains. This suburban engine would be great for days when only a few cars are used.
@atsf3415dbr So, they couldn't even have painstakingly inspected every inch of the steel in her boiler? Replace all the flues and other piping? It's an all,or nothing deal? I don't understand this policy. If anyone out there is a boiler inspector, or knows this policy well, could you please give me more information?
2-8-0 is the Driver or(wheel) arrangement of the Loco. Meaning 2 front wheels, 8 driving wheels, and 0 trailing wheels. #382 is the Loco number posted on the side of the Loco!

I've heard of another 4-6-4T being restored in Quebec. I wish there was a G scale model of this engine.

Why wouldn't they let it run just because of lost paperwork? Is it a liability hazard? Did the paperwork show how to maintain a steam locomotive?
SouthernRR4501 3 years ago
no it showed previous operational records(ie problems, hazards, had a boiler explosion at one point perhaps?)
