PRR Steam in Freight Yard!

[rboffill]

Stamping her feet well at 2:48

[pahogger]

This is amazing, I love it!

[trainguy3]

I wish I could have been there

[KingBuick]

I've seen Enola Yards the way it is now. Norfolk Southern and ex-Conrail engines (still in the Conrail logo) are plentiful there. I knew that PRR was there back in the hey day of US railroads, but I didn't know that footage would be preserved! Thanks for uploading and sharing!

I just love how grimy and weathered those engines in this video look! Steam engines get a dirty feel to them that diesels don't get. Thanks for sharing!

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Whats with all the pennsy? Do you have any SOUTHERN PACIFIC?

[dcoursey82]

@AlcoholicSemenStain Nah not much of a fan of Southern Pacific...mostly into eastern railroads.

[CFDChris237]

@AlcoholicSemenStain maybe you should read the title first....

[trainman551]

My guess is that it is in Norththumberland yard it doesnt look like enola to me

[dcoursey82]

@trainman551 Might be both...there are a few scenes where it's definitely Enola, and other scenes where I'm sure it's somewhere else....no idea where though.

1:08 dumping the ash pans it would seem...

[derail14]

Yea i am pretty sure this was taken in enola yard not much left of it today both humps closed more of a relay yard today, I love the clips of the I ones the work horse for the prr. too bad there are no clips of the prr n class steamers they were 2-10 -2 wheel arrangment or the prr j class 2 -10 -4, heard the prr never ran j class east of altoona cuz of clearence problems on the middle div tunnels.

The I1 was really the first successful high horsepower non-articulated freight locomotive. With 89,000 pounds of tractive effort (And without a booster!), it preceeded Lima's "Super-power" by many years, and outlasted far more

sophisticated engines. Truly an industrial milstone.

[chaz1854]

Yeah! Real steam engines all had Belpaire fireboxes and Keystones on the smokebox door.

[GSpro]

What i'd give to see all those beautiful locomotives! How far from the reading/Northern line did PRR run?

[Zebrails]

It could bring a tear to my eyes... perhaps even of joy... if not only for the exhaust... This could brighten up any of my daze!

Just plain beautiful!

Tonnage of thanks!

[dolly49]

The L1 was moving single cars around. He was probably the trim engine. The I1 was the hump pusher. He had to push whole trains over the hump for classifying. That's why you see the I1 slip, and not the L1.

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Long live steam!

PRR 4eva.

[georei]

Interesting to see this video. I saw some H10's, maybe an L-1, and to me a I-1 with an unusual small tender. Maybe it was doomed as a yard engine never again to pull the ore trains that it was built for. Very nice footage.

Pennsy Forever!

Although the Big Boys and challengers were the largest steam engines, the I1 2-10-0

(Hippos) all 598 of them were pure muscle machine that worked the hills in Pa.
