Nasty S3L

This was shot by Jack D. Kuiphoff, not I. Erie Lackawanna U34CH #3372 has a very nasty sounding Leslie S3L horn (it's not an RS3L, they were not introduced until 1980) . All I know about the steam train backing up is that it ran several trips around the Waldwick S-Curve in September of 1975 between Ridgewood & Waldwick on the Erie - Lackawanna Port Jervis line.

Wow, do you have any other videos of the 148? That's the first I've seen of the old girl in action!

No, sorry. Not a huge fan of steam engines.

Okay, I lied. I do have a video. It's up on my channel.

if this is 1976, wouldnt that horn be an S3L? i think this was right before they came out with the RS back caps.

[cbehr91]

Whatever. It wouldn't make the sound any different.

Also found this out, my dad was on the bridge whose shadow you see in the video. There were alot of people on the bridge and Tom Nemath's arm was in his shot of the steamer. Tom Nemath is the editor of Railpace Magazine. Small world, huh?
