A small tribute to the untiring and continuing efforts of volunteer members of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This is locomotive 722 formerly of the Southern Railway and sister to the 630 still owned and operated by TVRM. It is old video, but I hope you will enjoy it.

Twelfth in a series of films spotlighting the Franklin Simpson Wildcat Band from Franklin, Kentucky, made and originally edited by hand by Mr. Ronald R. Dunn Sr. A lot of behind the scenes footage from band camp, trips and award wining shows. Unfortunately, there were a few processing problems with some of these films when originally developed, but they are still contained in this video.

This is a minute or so teaser for the next project. After the Band Videos, and I promised my Dad that I would get them out to all that I could, on whatever the best venue there be, I would like to do a video on Dunn Bros.

Oh those 4-4-0 hey fess do know how they work no dumb ass
Thank you for the upload.underrated movie.Always enjoyed watching parker in the few movies he did.
This was COOL
Man-o-man what a story. Can you imagine the 1st CMOH award ceremony? Thanx for posting this historical video and thanx to Mr. Walt Disney for what he gave us all. The current company sucks ass and I don't support them in way or visit Florida because of how they got "woke".
I really want to see 722 back at TVRM after the GSMR restores it.
While the movie was great for what it was, there unfortunately was a key mistake that isn't well known to people. Specifically, the railroad this took place on was a 5 foot broad gauge railroad. At the time, most all railroads in the Southern USA, were broad gauge, not standard.
Not quite true. The W&A was 4' 9" gauge instead of 5' 0". The GENERAL and TEXAS wheels are still to that gauge; they can ride on standard gauge track because of the way the wheels ride on the track even though the flanges ride tighter against the rails than they should. But that is the real locos and the ones in the movie are to standard gauge. The GENERAL was on display at the Chattanooga railroad station until about 1958 or 59 when it was pulled out and refurbished by the L& N RR for the Centennial of the Great Locomotive Chase in 1962. The loco and a combine car made a lot of appearances around the L&N system for a couple of years. The GENERAL is now in a building just off the main line in Big Shanty north of Atlanta as a static display. The TEXAS was removed from the Cyclorama in Atlanta and is still stored, I just don't know where. Both locos have 60-inch drivers. It was figured in the old days that a loco could travel about 1 mph per inch of driver diameter.
GSMR just announced they’re beginning a restoration on 722!
That’s great! I hope they can someday take it to TVRM and run it on a special doubleheader with 630 over the Missionary Ridge Local line.
There's just nothing like that Disney commitment to quality. How many of the films contemporary to the Disney product are so well remembered?
Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed seeing the quick shot of a (very young) Dr. Campbell as well as how downtown BG looked many years ago.
This Is Great We Love Trains 🚂 🚂 🚂 🚂 💕
I’m John Robert Pittenger,the Great Great Nephew of William Pittenger. I’ve visited the Texas in Atlanta and the General at Big Shanty. I’ve met the Great Great grandson of Fuller and have several copies of this movie.
Anyone know what the music from 10:45 is?
Really enjoyed the background scenes. While the actors get the glory, they do the work.
Mr Fuller, Someone is taking your train...
I actually have this on VHS from the Walt Disney Channel airing it. The problem with the movie is the Real Factual History. It was Andrews ( spie and smuggler) the proposed the raid the " Old Stars", General Michael. The Movie also consists of trains. Conductor Fuller and Railroad Superintendent Anthony Murphy pursue the raiders first on foot, then my pole car, then the engine from The Cooper Iron Works ( the Yuma) them the William A Smith, before the got The Texas at Kingston... the movie, is full of engines "flying" I over broken rails, buring box cars...and farby Cavalry. which Never occurred. And in reality, the story of what happened to the raiders is actually more interesting than the actual raid. Eventually all captured and put in a hell hole of a jain in Chattanooga, Eventually Andrews was hanged ( actually strangled, as he was 6 foot tall and they "hanged" him from a 6 foot high tree tree limb. 7 others would eventually be hanged, 8 escaped and made it back to union lines, and eventually 6 were exchanged as Prisoners of War. The Movie is actually based off Raider William Pictenger's book, " The Darring and the Suffering " Though Pictender basicly Thursday States Evidence during 5heir trial. Also, Jacob Parett was the first to be awarded the Medal of Honor, not Pitchenger, in the movie...
Locomotive at Cooper was the “YONA”. Locomotive at Kingston was “ WILLIAM R. SMITH”. Boxcar was set on fire but because of weather was too wet to burn.
The Raiders tried to set the one remaining boxcar on fire, but with No success. As they had little to start the fire inside it and it certainly did not come close to set the last covered bridge on fire. Their two biggest mistakes was postponing the raid by a day, and Not destroying the Yona
when Walt Disney said he always fascinated with locomotives that explains his creation of Casey Jr. from Dumbo
This film is one big reason why I wish the Tallulah Falls Railroad was still with us. Having a tourist railroad or such on the same road this was filmed on would've been something special. Walt himself tried to buy the TF, but I believe it was denied by Southern Rwy at the time.
What happened to southern 722 anyway?
She went to The Great Smokey Mountains Railway where 1702 operates. However 722 isn't running at the moment
@@EngineerDaylight She's now being restored to operating condition.
Fire up 722
I'm really enjoying this. I have got to see this movie! I love this making.
its believed that during the chase the General and the Texas ran at about 60 miles per hour at some point. I understand that the only damage the Andrews raiders Brown and Night did to the General was a overheated bearing because they was unable to stop and oil it. I understand that one of the railroaders said after they recovered the General "those Yanks can drive a locomotive as good as we can" or something similar to that
Such great actors during this era. Pure class & skill to say the least. 👍

All aboard!!!!!!!!!!!
I never seen this movie but I really like to see it looks really good

Fort Sumter was attacked on April 12, 1861. 'The Great Locomotive Chase' took place on April 12, 1862. Franklin Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945. Read Matthew 4:12. See 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ could produce that.
9:15 TVRM used to own and use a caboose? Surprised they used to do this.
they own like 4 and use them occasionally
@@DAPchatt I see thx
@@evanf1293 any time
About how Kurtz mentioned John Reed Porter, one thing the movie didn't show was that Porter and his companion Martin Jones Hawkins had actually overslept and missed the train but were still captured as depicted in the movie
What’s the actual condition of 722’s boiler right now
Wow seeing how much TVRM has changed is really something. Great footage!
Disney sure does know how to make good documentaries, fun too!
This movie made me fall in love with trains. I'm impressed with how much historical and technical aspects went into the making of this film.
Disney should of added this to the DVD as a special feature. I always wondered where they filmed this movie and now I know. This movie has been a part of my childhood and it will always be one of my favorite movies.
Me too 🚂🚂🔥
They should make a special bluray edition with this episode and the brave engineer cartoon as extras.

Well the wrong side won of course. Shame on Mr. Parker, a Southerner and Walt Disney for telling it this way, glorifying the psychotic butcher Lincoln and his paid Hessions.
Okay Boomer
Also Lincoln wasn't even mentioned in the movie at all

I live in Tallulah falls Georgia. Along the old Tallulah falls railroad. In the house of the man. Whom built the Tallulah falls Georgia railroad. This railroad was used in the movie the great locamotive chase filmed in The mountains of northeastern Georgia. Tallulah falls Georgia and Rabun county Georgia
Southern valve gear
This parade was far better than the Simpson County Bicentennial parade this year.
to many tech flaws in the vid, as for real and i work for a railroad, the thing you never do is try to put a engine-train in reverse esp a stem locomotive as doing that the valve gear would get ripped apart and that would also jack knife the rail cars,ie a wreck. but thats holly wood for you. there is a way to stop a locomotive if the air braked fail and only on a single locomotive you can plug the traction motors by putting it in reverse and only as a last resort, i was on a small switch engine 1 day and we had to do that, the force of doing it threw all us up against bulk head. but i know dam well if you do that on a steam locomotive be prepared to be picking up a lot of parts.
Before the 1870s, very few locomotives in the world had brakes other than a handbrake on the tender. There was no other means of slowing or stopping on a downhill grade than to put the gear a notch or two into reverse and apply gentle throttle, and relying on hand brakes applied by brakemen on the cars. A steam counter-pressure brake, the Le Chatelier, was invented in 1865, see www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-use-of-counter-pressure-steam-t/ , but it saw little use as the Westinghouse air and Eames vacuum brakes introduced in the 1870s were more effective and could be applied to every vehicle in a train. In 1830, at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, Stephenson's "Rocket" ran over William Huskisson, a prominent Member of Parliament who stepped into her path. Her driver, trying desperately to juggle the gab valve gear levers, was unable to stop in time, and Mr Huskisson died of his leg injuries that evening. "Rocket" had no brakes of any description, or even a whistle; no-one had thought such things would be needed! M. Le Chatelier did not have any problems with valve gear, the later Stephenson gear being perfectly capable of absorbing the forces involved; indeed, the reversing in motion is clearly shown in the film. There was no way to fake that, no CGI back then. It's shown in Buster Keaton's 1926 film "The General", too, although he anachronistically used the locos' air brakes in some shots. The Disney film didn't, sticking to 1860s driving techniques. Do you think the film makers would risk damaging priceless vintage locomotives? B&O No.25 and Inyo were and are national treasures.
WRONG!!! These engines were built with no brakes other than hand cranks. They were stopped by using the Johnson bar in a neutral position and at times to full reverse to slow the trains down, and slowly as steam which had to be off at the throttle when the bar move was made. The cross heads and Stevenson valve gear would not be damaged. The main thing that would give violently were the cylinder head gaskets. If they are clear or water they should be fine. ….. steam will compress water will not.
the raiders made to 2 blunders in what they did, first off they should have spread the track gauge in the tunnel as the engine chasing them would have went on the ground, and 2nd they could have derailed the last car and shoved to out of gauge were a re railer would have not worked, both of these things would have stopped fuller dead in his tracks.
The film footage was filmed in Tallulah falls Georgia. On the one little short line that only our Railroad could bring the past alive. The Tallulah falls Railroad. I'm former Mayor of Tallulah falls Georgia Dan A Hayes
Are there very many places to visit that someone would recognize from the movie?
highway explorer Not many anymore, it takes the knowledge of knowing exactly where something was filmed to find it. One scene that somewhat still exists is the crossing of the trestle in the movie-the uncovered straight one that is-crossed the Panther Creek where the highway is now. If one stands between the bridges on the trail down the creek, and look down, it is visibly the same scene. Trestle support remains are still located in the creek.
Dan Hayes are their places from the movie that I can visit? I’m from Dawsonville Georgia and I love watching this movie
Dovercast Brandon thanks for the informative comment
@@GoDawgs18 Kennesaw Georgia aka in the movie “Big Shanty” that have a full on museum and the actual train from the chase. I forgot if it was either the general or the Texas. It’s pretty cool to check out
You loser
A terrific movie and making of the movie.
Hero's andrews and his men were NOT! These men were terrorist and spies and they got what they got.
Yes because wanting to end the war very early makes someone a bad person 🙄
and the south still got whipped.
Terrorists? The Raiders were not trying to burn down a town or cause a train to crash to scare people. They're trying to shut down the railroad line. They tried cutting down Telegraph wires and Burning Bridges out in the middle of nowhere.
Rip 722, gsmrr is not taking care of her, they started taking her apart and left her outside.

8:45 whistle sounds wonderful.
One of 630’s 2 “regular” whistles. Tom Long’s IC 3 Chime whistle was used on 2716 from 1981-1983 (it stayed on the loco once it was out of service for a time). 630 was using the V&SW at the time, so 722 used the 6 chime. Later on an SP 5 chime (I don’t remember if it was the desert or regular) was used some on 722 and the CofG back on 630.
@@jacobwoods8738I believe it was the sp standard 5 chime. There aren’t many desert 5 chimes left.
thank you it real good
