You Tube has not fixed the problem after 3 days so I have uploaded (after several tries) a new version that has been image stabilized and sharpened. See the video "The last steam-heated train to leave Halifax 23 January 1993 redone"

I have e-mailed YouTube and asked them to fix the problem

@rrpics I heard it was Algonquin Park on that train.

Very interesting! I didn't even know that such an heating system have existed.

Well done video! Thanks
They had to pull TWO steam generation cars for that train?
One car was not enough?
How often did they need to replenish water?
What heated the water?
Why not have used electricity? Because steam was available from steam locomotives years earlier?
Thank you.

6432 was recently on the last HEP departure of the Ocean! However, this time it was trailing. And since 6432 has now been rebuilt, like in 1993, all of it's 3000 HP was going to tractive effort!

When it was on the last HEP departure 6432 was shut down, presumably because of problems. The lead locomotive 6456 pulled it and the nine HEP cars when it left Halifax on 28 March 2011.

In the mid winter two steam generator cars were often used because of steam leaks (the rubber gaskets became hard). I believe water was replenished at Moncton, Campbellton and possibly Riviere du Loup & Quebec City (often the locomotives were refuelled too) - about every 200 miles.
Diesel fuel was burnt to provide heat for the boiler.
The coaches were built for haulage by steam engines and the first generatiion diesel passenger locomotives usually had steam generators inside the carbody.

what park car is brining up the rear
ferry1793 2 years ago
I have looked at the original video and the Park car appears to have three words in its name so it would be Riding Miuntain Park. This was one of the two Park cars that were not in the rebuild programme. This would make sense as other cars would already have been rebuilt to HEP heating.
