Cleaning out the office I found a few railway stories I did back in the fall of 1992. My producer, Andy Lockett and I were on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains Railway to do several feature pieces for the News station I worked at. We stopped in Old Fort North Carolina to see Bob Wilson who had some old photos we needed for our story. When we walked in we were amazed at his collection. We put...

Fantastic documentary. We rode the steam train a few years back and we want so much to get back up there one day sooner than later.
I was born in Asheville, NC, but never knew about the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
great place, hope it's doing well. As i clicked on it, was hoping it was #15 from Steam Town,,,, at least from the one from NH,,,, i don't remember it on display in VT, tho i should, I think the one i'm refering sp, to, was or is, a 0-10-0. I"m only using memory, eeeek! lol I"m ONLY 60, lol. Good luck with the RR!!
your bait picture got me! lol, what a great photo! so cute!! I think i see a future of trains in the kids life, ha ha
In my opinion the train detail and train crash in the movie the train was the biggest train wreck
Great paint scheme on the locomotives ! And what a splendid set of coaches!
This is an awesome train!! I took my first ride on it over Labor Day last year and enjoyed every minute of it.
Awesome kid! I'm with ya on trains but there are some really cool cars.
Konx & Kan Railroad is gone now, but it won't never be forgotten 😢.
After the whole line was abandoned in 1956.
We are SO SPOILED to have this in our backyard! Thank you, Greg, Mardell, and Alexander, for your determination, passion, and LOVE of GIVING! It just isn't summer, not hearing the train whistle at the Earl train crossing. ❤ Truly am èxcited for their Steam Engine to arrive!
The blue ridge parkway is absolutely stunning!

Nah really
Well I know where 473 was in the video it’s in the roundhouse put away
Why does my 19 year old female college friend Angelina Cardone from college who plays soccer and lacrosse know a lot about Finding Nemo, Toy Story and Deadpool, but not about The Great Scenic Railway Journeys, especially not this episode Durango and Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad?
It is my hope someday Wisconsin Great Northern can reinstall removed track from Trego northward and/or Spooner to Rice Lake, but I am sure the chance of that happening is next to none.
Fantastic video of the Western Maryland steam train. Thanks for showing and best regards
She definitely puts on a better show than 1309.
How?
Cool video 😊
734 will be back!
is that locomotive in the works i wonder?
Funds are being raised to bring 734 back into operation.
Nice video. I'm getting the impression that the loco is oil fired, not by coal. One veteran railroad talked about converting to oil. I said: Fine, if it still smells coal....
That engine (734) is a coal burning engine.
When we filmed it, it was coal fired.
@@GreatScenicRailwayJourneys Really. I have to look closer. The black smoke looked quite massive....
@@chendersonrailproductions704 Thanks for telling! I'm used to narrow gauge steam engines, once being the fire man, and they don't produce that massive black smoke. I guess a lot more shovels have to be used here.
@@GreatScenicRailwayJourneys i absolutley love it
I absolutley love it
It's a very beautiful parkway. For it to be built the government stole the land to build it. Remember that part of it also.
I came to watch as well.
This looks like fun
Hey how are you doing? Congrats on 30 years on this program. I was on this line a couple years ago. I got to hear about this railway not only through this program but also my All Aboard VHS. I had a great time plus all of the folks were very cool and telling my family about the history of the railway. I love trains keep up the great work.

An interesting railway👍👍
I like this kid! More kids need to be like him to keep all these wonderful railroads running!
Apparently, I missed the show when it was broadcasted. If anyone has a link to a local PBS site where it is still available for viewing, I would greatly appreciate it.
Where do you live?
Really looks like a pleasant trip. Sad it's on the wrong side of the Atlantic pond....
I’ve always wanted to try this. However I’m cripple now in a wheelchair and wondering if the trains are wheelchair friendly.
Yes they are. Give them a call.

Something I realized after all this time playing TSW is that UK Steam Locomotives are extremely simple to control in comparison to North American steam. The Scottsman[RiP Allen Peglar] has a reverser that you turn right or left. It has one throttle/regulator that you don’t have to pump over and over again(You just pull to open, push to close). Even the brakes are simple. One locomotive brake, and no stupid extra steam brake separate from the main air brakes(just a combination brake system). LNER had the right idea when ordering the A class locomotives. They valued Simplicity more than any other railway. It’s funny how EMD makes the Class 66, which was an extremely simple design with only a handful of steps needed to get it moving, but the SD40-2 requires you to jump through hurdles just to get it started. A century and a half of making our own locomotives, and we are still making them as difficult to operate as a Helicopter.
Rode it back in 94 while I was visiting M in L in Willow Springs Mo
There are a number of "heritage" railways in Britain, preserved and operated by regular people working together. It's nice to see Americans can do it, too, rather than waiting for "the rich guy" to take care of stuff.
