NKP765/PM1225: Around The Wye @ Cadillac - Trackside HD

[SuperMario6419]

@Chase1609 Yes, there are both Berkshires

THATS COOL WHEN YOU CAN HEAR THAT METAL STRETCHING

[badboylll]

Very cool! I really like the stack talk at 6:51! Almost sounded like an articulate!

[LoganisTrainBoy1]

@Chase1609 The 1225 is an N-1 with larger cylnders so its more power than the 765 but 10 mph slower. The 1225 is also a little longer and taller, the 765 is an S-3 that is 10 mph faster than the 1225, but has smaller cylinders, so its not as powerful.

The grease on the rails helps the engine on the curve so the flanges of the wheels dont ride up on top of the rail and derail it!!!

[vladimir2366fa]

Thanks you, Videos very nice,

[PRRK4Lover]

this is godly....

[Kleman09]

@Chase1609 765 is an s2 class Berkshire locomotive. There is only one survivng s3 class berkshire and it is NKP #779 in Lima Ohio.

[AmtrakPatrick]

Excellent video. I never thought I'd see these two engines together. Too bad I couldn't be there.

[bobrol63]

Great stuff here!

[marytz56]

This video could be sold. Tremendous camera work. Thank you. You saved the best for the last part of the video....it brought tears to my eyes...... the magnifigance and beauty of the of the twin Berkshires is extremely moving!!!!!! Thank you once again.

[tracksidefan]

Yes, they are both 2-8-4's.

[switchstand]

Outstanding video work! I take it you are a professional video camera man.

[tracksidefan]

Thank you Switchstand. Glad you enjoyed the footage. I've been shooting semi-professionally for a lot longer than I care to recall. Shooting outside is easy, just don't ask me to light something indoors.

[TGoodner1]

Beautiful footage!

[gokomets77]

What were they "painting" on the rails anyways? Great closeups by the way!

Next time I'll call in sick and head up!

[tracksidefan]

The substance being applied to inside of the outer rails on the wye is definitely some type of lubricant, although I don't know specifically what kind it is. From other close-ups that were edited out, the lubricant is gray-black in color and has very thick, grease-like composition.

[TrainDr101]

@gokomets77: greasing the rail. The curve is sooo tight that they have to grease it up so those 8 drivers can get thru it a little easier. & they had to walk it thru just so the rigid wheel base didn't push the rail out of alignment & cause a derailment.

[dwkcamman611]

Awesome video!!! Very well done, I wish I could have been there to see all the magic, keep up the good work!!!

[crwi1983]

Awesome video!

[StarDust1939]

Outstanding video! I particularly like the scenes of, what I assume to be, greasing the rails in the wye.

[dal464]

Superb video, very professional and joy to watch. Thanks for your skill.

[1225dude]

so awesome

[1sttenn]

The white on the tires will return, I promise you that.

[SP4449Warbaby]

Truthfully I hope the FWRHS doesnt paint whitewalls on the 765's drivers, she looks more robust with black drivers.

[tracksidefan]

I noticed in a photo from back in the early Nineties when these two were together the last time that the 765 also had chrome covers on the cylinders. Those are gone now too.

[Kleman09]

I think they are on sister #779 now. I have pics to prove it.

[Kleman09]

The NKP had white drivers and i bet they will repaint them white. The loco is painted to look as built by Lima.

[itm426]

now can anyone at all think of a triple header with 1225, 765, and NKP 587?

[tracksidefan]

Actually I was thinking NKP 763, now under restoration on the Ohio Central, would make a real nice triple-header.

[Kleman09]

never gonna happen. Sadly.

[itm426]

why would NKP587 never run with 765 and 1225? It's not that much of a stretch of the imagination, even if it is for the wallet. Although NKP587 IS a Friction-Bearing engine, it could still run. They did it in the 1990's with N&W 611 and 1218.

[CSX6000]

Greta video of two magnificant locomotives!

[joneau261]

It's great to see these engines teamed up once more on a passenger excursion. Great video

[m611martin]

Fantastic video of the berks!!

[Kleman09]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
