Great Railroad footage! How pathetic they have a trained bear act! That kind of cruelty not allowed up here in Toronto.
Some amazing steam locomotives for sure.I liked the US ARMY switcher too. It was cool to see that porter poling the car! Really is there anything like the sound and smells of a steam engine!
Hello I'm one of the railfans that goes up for Clark's every year. You missed a hell of an event this year.The only bad thing was the Heisler wasn't running.
Awesome vid. Are you going to be there this weekend? I am and for the Conway scenic Railroad weekend on sunday. I've never been to the conway scenic railfan weekend. I can't wait!
Eh... you won't see me. Unfortunately I'm stuck at home this weekend. Have fun up there - I'm sure you'll really enjoy CSRR's event too regardless of 7470's absense.
The railroad is currently about 2.5 miles long, though lately there is talk of plans to extend the line by about a mile. Ultimately this would allow for multiple train operation, Strasburg-style, or so I've heard.
As far as I know #1 was never displayed at Loon Mountain. The Baldwin 2-4-2T #5 seen in Part 2 was at Loon prior to 1999 when she was traded for the locomotive that's there now, another 0-4-0 Porter (#3).
About 20 years ago my dad, my mom and their friends were in the woods near the tracks and they met wolfman and had a few beers with him. I even have pictures!
Last year The climax broke a driveshaft. so the US Army #1943 had to do the excursion train and caboose rides together

Why was the Porter not cupoled up to the flatcars?
Matt3985 3 years ago
The shuttle flatcar doesn't have standard knuckle couplers like the locomotive does, hence the adapter piece.
