COCKROATch

shut up and stop dissing steam locomotives

[thecoolt]

Cockroach2008 is a lying little shit!

[Cockroach2008]

8 of these have now been scrapped since this video was taken, the 9th has a bent frame & it is doubtful it will ever run again, the 10th is in bad shape & needs lots of costly repairs. It's future is also doubtful.

The second locomotive picked a switch frog, went

broadside. The rest plowed into either it or the locomotive ahead. What a mess! Crews spent 2 days clearing the track & making repairs to the corridor.

More steam locomotives gone! It won't be long before all of these are junked!

[fudgebaker]

@Cockroach2008

Listen here mister, If it keeps going like this the tides will be turned. With the increasing oil prices, gas and diesel fuel get more expensive. Some railways have already brought up the idea to use steam locomotives again! Coal, in comparison to oil is dirt cheap! So if the prices keep going like this, steam locomotives may return!

[Cockroach2008]

@fudgebaker Nothing to worry about! That was an empty rumor brought up by some steam locomotive admirer! The railroad officials heard it & laughed their heads off!

The cost of maintenance, operating, liability, community dislike, high risk, heavier weight on today's rail, bridge infrastructures. Most of that infrastructure was replaced long ago with lighter gauge designs. It would not bear the heavier weight long. Too many problems with steam locomotives!

Junk them! Cut them! Melt them!

[fudgebaker]

@Cockroach2008

The costs of maintenance is true, it's higher, but their economical lifespan can compromise that. A steam locomotive's lifespan is 30-40 years (longest was 70 years), while a diesel's lifespan is only 10-20 years. Operating and liability, with the technology of these days we could improve that a lot. Community dislike: That's just the smoke that they dislike even though the "smoke" is 90% steam in a cooled form, diesels put out more. Heavier weight: The rails are still the same!

[Cockroach2008]

@fudgebaker What ever the response, it doesn't matter. The steam locomotive is NOT COMING BACK! The longer service life is because they are heavier; because of it's pressures. Not a compromise, a looser! All available technology employed, boilers are too risky in a movable device. The soot pollution will not be tolerated. Diesel is lighter weight. Rail replacements use lighter rail & bridge refurbishings are not specified for steam locomotive weight.

They are gone! Never to return! Junk them!

[fudgebaker]

@Cockroach2008

Whatever, I'll let you stick to your story. But why did you have to lie in your first post? I do volunteer work at the place where a few of these steam locomotives are, and the are not in bad shape at all, they never were!

[Cockroach2008]

@fudgebaker Maybe you & I were not speaking of the same place. The equipment I saw was in wretched condition. Steel plates looked like they had been exposed to salt water, were peeling & literally coming apart. Something you would see on an ocean dock!

Congratulations on your volunteer work. Better you than me!

Restoration of steam locomotives on railroads are never going to happen. Better chance of electrification. Boilers would be fixed location to produce electricity by turbine generators!

[amncert]

were they all steamed up??? some of them looked like they were beinging pulled an pushed! Thats a great thing to watch though! no matter if they were all steamed up or not XD

[juniorfotograaf]

@amncert

Yeah they were all steamed up,every year up to 2 years ago this was the final train in a weekends event called Back to the past.

Reason for not doing this anymore is that many visitors where runnig over the tracks when the train was coming.

So securing the line was not possible anymore.

@gaycowboy

This was not going to budapest it was and still is here in Holland every year.

[gaycowboy31]

I wonder if they were headed to the steamfest in Budapest or maybee this was there

[peanut3191]

10 locomotives an howmany coaches

[22J611484]

I would have loved to have been at a road crossing as it steamed onby. Wonderful video of many sounds! Thanks for sharing it.

[dakejoint]

weer de mooie VSM locs

[steamboy51]

now we're talking. stupendous, glorious, awe-inspiring, fantastic, incredible!

steam locomotives at their best, and a shining example of a bright future for steam locomotion!

[sinnergy0345]

how many coaches was it pulling?

[f40racer]

Wow, awesome

[KJinTX]

The ugliest whistle I've ever heard. Just kidding. *B4 I get a blitz of rebuttals*

[DarkTower97]

ill take any steam locomotive anyday.

[lak611]

Very nice! I would have liked to ride on that train!

[BjornOl49]

What they did to the TKp is not acceptable for me. 5 stars by the way

[Jesusisyhwh]

There is nothing like the sound of steam whistles!

[tomzethof]

Beatifull movie. It is a great wonder that the are still steaming. Saw them in Germany when I was still a kid. And that sound, Isn't it a wonder !

[lak611]

Awesome! Lots of locos here.

[andrewdude101]

so cool

[LeamingtonSteve]

impressiv but Continental steam locomotives were never as attractive as British ones!

Am I biased? maybe!

[471003240]

chauvinism is known to you?

[LeamingtonSteve]

yes, he's a good friend! How is he these days?

[palomino1973]

A direct comparison seems to be not really fair; british steamers have an aesthetic of their own, i.e. their form doesn' always seem to follow the function, which again is true for most of the continental machines !

[nienke8]

en dit is in mijn woonplaats gefilmd!!!:)

and this is in my livingplace filmed:P

ik weet niet of ik het goed typ^

[tojows]

Some real serious pulling power there.Great

[imgfactory]

a loco /wagon :)

[nutbemani]

Why it has lot of locos?

[lone56wolf]

Makkenzesmokkintoot

[trucker765]

long train =lots of locos

[Zierikzapple]

Jammer dat het vanuit de hand gefilmd is en niet vanaf statief : het beeld trilt te veel en de belichting is slecht.

Jammer !!

[milepost48]

dat is logisch, daar het gefilmd werd met een FOTO camera

[MercSLRFan]

verry impressive

[wobbler44]

Excellent, is this available in decent quality off Usenet anywhere?

[LUCY5500]

thats the most locos ive seen hooked together amazing

[phantom19770]

i can t see the video,i haven the latest flash player and still it doesnt work on my xp pro sp 2 pc,any ideas why this is happening

???

[Zierikzapple]

Very simple : Buy an Apple !!

[ralph5407]

Ok impressive line up but not like one loco working hard on it's own with 12 coaches on a climb. Put 'Shap' in the search and see what I mean..

[jorege4983]

That's incredible and amazing!. Congatulations.

[SteffanLlwyd]

German locomotives have a definite 'look' I like.

[stu57stu]

Amazing trains

[frofje1]

Great!

[wwwogamede]

the 9th lokomotive wasn't german

great video

[MichielSGB]

True, that's a Swedish locomotive.. I don't know the exact order, but these locomotives were in the parade: 01 1075 23 071 44 1593-1 50 3564 50 3654 52 3879 52 8053 52 8139 64 415 B 1220

[groovyUtube]

Thanks, that was the most awesome think I've seen all week!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

nice video. heavy 10 steamlocomotives.

[cheminot08]

Totaly awesome

[RichardSwayne]

OTT phat.

[GSpro]

Thats just incredible!!

[JOYOUSONEX]

takes me back to the days when i was a kid at the Union Station in Columbus Ohio. Steam hitting me in the face, the smell of the smoke....wow!!

[thecoolt]

Bloody hell, that so cool! =D

[mikes47jeep]

10 locomotives SO COOL!!!!
