I have been in the cab of both of those locomotives, the 765 is housed just about 7 miles from where i live, in Fort Wayne Indiana, When i moved to Fort Wayne in 1983, the 765 was sitting in a park, just rusting away, It wasnt long after they took her out to newhaven In, just east of Fort Wayne, and restorded her.

Interesting that with all of the soot generated during the 'Age of Steam', the world temperatures were steadily getting 'colder'. The 1960's (last of steam) saw some of the really cold winters across the US Midwest. So cold in fact, that the 'Scientists' predicted a return to the Ice Age. After the diesels and 'cleaner' energy, the temps started warming. Now if 'Cause and Effect' were a 'proven' scientific rule in All equations, the return to dirty old Steam would be embraced by the public.

Nice an environmental friendly trains emitting thick black smoke. Thought that this type of trains are only found in India, Pakistan, Burma, Bangladesh, China and most countries in the African continents including Latin America and some parts of Europe?

@crazy7997 if the fireman and eigneer are doing things properly, smoke wouldnt be an issue as there would be no smoke.

@crazy7997 That thick black smoke will give you a good idea of why New York and some other passenger stations banned steam locomotives in their terminal. The smoke often got so thick that visibility was reduced to the point that collisions occurred, resulting in deaths. As a result, electric switching engines were put to use, pulling the passenger cars in from a transfer siding outside of town. Cleveland had such a transfer point on the New York Central main line called Linndale.

i like the black firebox of 765 but i like 1225 better

[freckldnred]

very nice video, good job.

[shininghappyperson7]

would this ever happen again?!!!!!!!!

[cobraglenn]

to tell u the truth, a steam train is every eco friendly!!! If u burn the coal just right its better than diesel!!!! Reason why you see these videos of steam trains burning the coal so dark is because of the effect. Who wants to see a steam train with white puffs, big dark smoke looks mean!!!!
