Not only are these not the original engines but this is not the original track either. The main line was rerouted in 1904 and the track was taken up in 1942. This short piece of track was installed in 1969 by the US Parks Service for the Centennial anniversary celebration in 1969.

I think the Jupiter looks better. The smoke stack & blue paint make all the difference.

@KenMacMillan I agree. BTW, very sweet replicas!

[switchstand]

Not only are these great looking locomotives, but you took some excellent video of them which really shows them off.

@Railroadtrip445 uh these are just.. replicas the real deals were scrapped ages ago

The only engine that is more beautiful is Leviathan 63, apart from her, these are 2 of the most beautiful engines in America.

[Dinosorable]

@Chris9017 The Leviathan 63 looks just like the Jupiter 60. They're just different colors.

This is GREAT, I love RR history and I have read so much about this. The two little steam engines are really beautiful and it is so nice that they are preserving them because this was such a monumental event in RR history for our country. Great video!!!

[SF3751]

They are actually not the real locos from the 1860's. There are, however, very acurate replica's. I remember reading while there one or both engiens were scrapped.

[Squawk7600]

Yeah, having something actually out of the 1860's would be a long shot-- especially still having them up and running, LoL!!

Actually, the B&O Train Museum has #25, a 4-4-0 Mason Locomotive built in 1856 that still runs. Check out my videos to see it.

Was that you in the first shot?

[SF3751]

Ya right! If you ever see me, I am usually wearing a Dodger hat or a BNSF hat. That guy was asking a ton of questions, and him and the guide randomly walked into my shot to continue talking. I don't know him.
