Compound Steam in the Hills: Black Hills Central Railroad 110
In June of 2023 we visited the Black Hills Central Railroad, running between Hill City and Keystone South Dakota. This was our first visit, and the railroad exceeded our expectations in every way. The trips were handled by Locomotive 110, one of two Baldwin 2-6-6-2T articulated compound Mallet locomotives owned by the Black Hills Central Railroad. Enjoy the show as this 1928 steam locomotive battles the 4 to 6 percent grade with a fully loaded seven car train.

Conway Scenic 1751 in the Valley, August 2021
zhlédnutí 481Před 2 lety
On a beautiful Friday, August 13, 2021 (Friday the 13th!) we chased GP9 1751 with the Valley Train to Sawyer River and Conway. 1751 sounded as smooth as ever and was sporting an M3RT1 horn that I quite like. I believe this is the horn that 573 arrived with at Conway Scenic back in 1996. Enjoy!

In August of 2019, we ventured out to the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. The scenery was breathtaking and the fleet of original Denver and Rio Grande Western locomotives and cars was impressive. This is without a doubt one of the premier railroads in the country. We were able to catch K28s #473 and #476 and K36s #481, #482, and #486. Enjoy th...
5" 3-Chime Whistle Restoration and Air Test
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 4 lety
I recently purchased this unique 5" diameter 3-chime whistle on Ebay. It has a welded steel bell and a cast bronze bowl marked L23588 NYC. After a little research, it appears that this type of whistle was used on electric locomotives on the New York Central. This video documents the week-long restoration of this whistle to its former glory, complete with a sound test on compressed air. If you h...

Looking forward to it!
Whelp, I thought Railroad Days would return last year for the Railroad’s 65th Anniversary but sadly never happened… 😢
it's weird seeing the sealed bearing inside the old truck housings. Looks funny without the doors lol
How come 21 isn’t running at Edaville right now
It needs a 15 yr / 1472 day inspection before it can run again. It was moved up to Maine Locomotive and Machine Works a few years back for the work to eventually be done. I think they do plan on completing the inspection and running it, but I'm not completely sure.
@@trainern8 ok thanks 👍
@@wyatttrainworld You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I was at the Naugatuck Railroad as a kid years ago
The sunrise shots were killer in this video. Jimmy Moore was Engineer this day.
Thank you!
1526!
My first trip to the Conway Scenic was in September 2010 and the Canadian National 6 Chime was what she was using. Still my favorite today
Are you going to make more videos?
For sure! Been super busy lately, but I still really enjoy making these videos!
Have you ever seen 1186 (their other operational Alco) run before? It's quite an elusive fellow, very little footage of it.
It sure is elusive! I rode behind it a few times as a kid before they had 958, but that was before I was taking videos. I also rode behind 958 its first year there when it was green, but I didn't get any video of that either.
@@trainern8 Neat. Back then, it has a very fouled Leslie S5T horn. Now it has a new cast P5. There's very little to no public videos around of those horns that I readily know of.
Sounds like a fun place to go visit one day!
Definitely! It's awesome!
If there’s any locomotive the M5 suits, it’s the GP7s and GP9s. Love this horn.

If i was filthy rich I'd dump all the money necessary to reopen the Mountain sub and work to regain freight service and add customers. I dont see it ever happening being that its probably a financial stupid move. But I would to save the historic line

Great video, Not much style to that engine,but I ciuld listen to that whistle all night long. No great efforts to guard RR crossings out there. Peaceful countryside. Nice job.
Thanks! Might be the best whistle I have heard, and it was a beautiful area.
3 minutes in, stopped to say Wow! Gotta go work, will watch the rest later. Thanks!
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying it!
Sounds like 3254 and 476
Glad to see that she's still as good as she was when I first saw her
In 2 weeks ill be riding on a train hopefully pulled by this locomotive and not their diesel. Either way its a nice ride. Great video
Thanks!
I love the Boston & Maine 3 chime.
my favorite whistle of this engine has to be the boston and maine 3 chime because it sounds like a pennsy 3 chime. but i also love the 5 chime whistle
That sounds really good to say it’s running on air. You almost got a bit of a pitch shift which is normally only achievable on steam!
Thank you!
There are different types of whistles
loving it dude
Going LHF with an F Unit has to be a nightmare for that crew.
what air compressor setup do you use (size/psi etc), please? Do you use an extra air storage tank do get the sustained sound?
I use a 60 gallon air compressor, no extra air tank. It works well for 5" whistles like this. I'll blow a 6" whistle well enough, but it drains the whole tank very quickly with those. Pressure wise, about 175 psi.
@@trainern8 Thank you for the help!
@@kmanningable You're welcome!
@@trainern8 Sorry, one more question; do you happen to know what cfm that air compressor is producing?
@@kmanningable hmm I'm not sure. I usually let it fill up all the way, then turn it off and then blow the whistle so it doesn't kick on and mess up the sound of I'm recording, so I haven't paid too much attention to CFM. The whistle moves so much air, it will be difficult for any compressor of that size to totally keep up.
The horn was cracked upon inspection. I swear Russ let the unit run like this to piss everyone off.
7470 used to have 3 or 4 whistles on her but now she only has one whistle since her return to steam!
why were not all the old cars not taken? I live next to them.

In 1963, three of us sneaked onto that bridge and rode it to the top. At the time, the bridge was down more than it was up. Hid in the girders under the tracks so the controllers couldn't see us. It was a surprisingly bumpy ride. Once back down, had to stay hidden until the train passed. Afterwards, we just acted like some kids crossing. Looking back, it was a foolhardy thing to do. That bridge wasn't built for pedestrians.
8:52 My son in the last car. This was the only steam engine ride he had before passing away.
We had one of these NYC 3 chimes down at my buddy’s farm on one of his steam tractors… I did some research to find these were also found on steam locomotives as well as electric ones. The one we used sounded amazing on steam and we only had it at like 75-80 psi.
Thanks, I watched that video and it sounded great! I was actually surprised by how nice it sounded, made me even happier to have one. I had no idea when I bought it that it could have been used on an electric locomotive, found that out later. Pretty cool!
wow beautiful high hood and great trestle shot! and hello from Rod Serling's hometown!
that was awesome!
The Peanut is back on the engine!
Despite not being a big fan of 6 Chimes i actually like the one on 7470
I usually like 6 chimes, but I particularly like the one on 7470! It sounds different from the others to me and I like it!
Did you hear about the new K5 they put on 573 I dont like it at all hopefully they’ll bring back the M5 soon
9:03 classic scene in the snow
I've got pretty of footage of 1751 when it was still on the Finger Lakes Railway in the late 90's and early 2000's. It mostly spent it's last years in Auburn, NY working under Remote control there switching cars at Nucor.
In my opinion I think that the peanut chime or 3 chime fit 7470 the best as they’re high pitched. As much as I like the 6 chime I just don’t think it suits her.
who was it hauled by?
who was it hauled by?
I sure wish we could go back to the old days on this line where there were many steam engines operating but now there’s only I think two running
The two that do run are beautiful but yes I sure would love to be able to spend a day there with steam running all over the mountain again.
@@trainern8 yeah
I wonder if the Conway Scenic Railroad can acquire Metra 611 and an F40ph?
I know this is very random but do you think we will get to see these 2 in action this year?
#21 is currently down for a rebuild, but #11 is running Christmas light trains every Friday and Saturday until Christmas!
@@trainern8 I swear if they change 21’s whistle I’m gonna cry
I love the horn!
