CAB TOUR of New Hope & Ivyland 2-8-0 #40

-Please select the High Quality option-

As I was standing beside #40 early this morning, one of the friendliest engineers I have ever met saw me with my camera looking at the beautiful engine. He yelled over to me "Hey... you want to come up in the cab?" Of course, I said yes! Here is the cab tour, and outside explanation of the locomotive that I got! This was totally unexpected, and this has to be my luckiest and happiest moment railfanning.

Trainiac Productions wishes to thank the Engineer Mark for his incredible kindness and thoughtfulness. We also wish to thank the crew of #40 and of the New Hope & Ivyland as a whole. Without their hard work and dedication, moments such as these would never be possible. Thank You.

glad to see you had a great time,and great video also.just so everyone knows the fire can reach up to around 2400 degrees when the engine is working.the steel does not melt because it is covered in water. Mark

One of the engineers asked my nephew the same question - the child couldn't believe it. He's a total train fan and that nice engineer just made his day - ok made his entire trip perfect. Thank you! This is a great video.

It's great to have a good explination for a change as to how a steam locomotive operates thanks for the upload!

the reason why the boiler(steel) doesn't melt is because the water surrounding the fire keeps the steel from melting. If you ever heard of boiler explosions and boiler failures due to low water is because you are no longer covering the crown sheet(top of the firebox) so the fire starts to melt the steel...hope that helped...
