Jeez.. I love these old railroad stories but one thing remains the same in that by running a "Steam-Locomotive" was a completely thank-less, devastating, and ball-busting task" that frail men died from, similar to myself at age 70. Hell, I couldn't be a "Wiper" now a day's. SAD for the love I have for these machines.

I'm writing this, (and guessing about the class of 6060 as a U-1-f), I'm so glad she's out there. But I'm a born-bred GTW / Alco guy and I was never comfortable with the "cheesy" bullet nose that the CNR loco's ran. Rather GTW's 6000 class Mountains with their front mounted Elesco feed-water heaters and Vanderbilt Tenders made it much more ominous "looking". Oh wait...here it is... The GTW locomotives were in the U-1-c class, (again, from ALCO), but let's not cry about spilt milk right? (GTW 6037 in particular). She was scrapped, but Steamtown has a sister of her to this day (1/2/24).

I was on the 6060 in 1976 when I was 5 yrs old in Peterborough, Ontario...fond memories.

I'm happy to hear that 6060 is currently going under a rebuild

H God!!! If somebody could re-master both parts...how cool would that be?

RIP Harry

I have had the pleasure of meeting Harry many years ago and has been a big part of our rail life. We were there in Jasper for the amazing retirement party. Was really something. My family and I were volunteers for many years at Alberta Railway Museum. I have also had the great pleasure of riding in the cab many times.

I was Lucky enough to go on two 6060 excursions in 77 and 78 from Mtl to Ottawa. So awesome

Great memorial to a fine engineer and his steam rail stallion 👍🚂

that one whistle kind of sounds like Steve's whistle

Nice video, done by Shaw Cable, for a network TV presentation. Although I never talked to Mr. Home (because of not being a diehard former), I rode behind the 6060 on many trips out of Montreal, and later out of Toronto, in the 70s and 80s, then a couple of times out of Stettler, when I photographed her before Consolidation AP 41 arrived, to lead the Alberta Prairie excursion trips. Most of the time, I surmised that Mr. Home was at the throttle of his beloved machine. Regretfully, in another video, I should have included a couple of photos I took, of the late, great man in bib overalls, oiling his machine.

I had the honour of riding on 6060 back when I was a child in the 70’s! It was a short tour from Toronto to Niagara. It’s still one of my favourite memories! The opening of this documentary with the little kid was just like me! We lived right by a track that lead to a junction in Malton. I would always sit on the other side of the ditch, and watch the trains go by... 😌

This is a great story, honest to pin point accuracy regarding love of steam locomotives. Diesels are a disappointment.

I thought this was deleted off CZcams.

I am so sorry-Has Harry passed?

Harry, Thank you for doing all you have done with 6060. My father rode with you numerous times when operating out of Toronto -Jack Sanders , he was a very good friend of Bob Cole.

I’d love to get up there to Alberta one of these days to see the 6060 once her latest overhaul is complete. The Rocky Mountain Rail Society has done very well in keeping her in in top form over the years. May Harry Home forever rest in eternal peace in God’s great Kingdom of Heaven.

Rest in Peace Harry Home

May He Rest In Peace

Really saddens me we lost Harry Home steam railfans of Canada and North America and the world over owe this man a big heart felt thank you for Preserving Steam and Canadian Steam and Canadian National 6060 she will always be his locomotive and i hope she will be around for more years to come and to inspire future generations like it did to Harry to keep her and other steam locomotives like her for the next generations to come. This is indeed one of the best films dedicated to him and the 6060.

We lost Harry today, god bless him!

Jeff Black loved Harry since he was two. Harry was his mentor and part of his family. He was three when he filmed the documentary with Harry and the CBC. He has followed Harry and the 6060 ever since and happy to raise a glass of scotch to Harry and the 6060

“I think I can, I think I can...I know I could, I know I could...”. Words to live by...

24:27 The Greatest Welcome you could ever appreciate when arriving at a convention

thank you iv been looking all over for this for a long time

Wow, glad to see that. I worked on it in Montréal before it left for the prairies what a nice souvenir

My father and grandfather both engineered the 6060. We have a painting of it in our house.

0:19 Harry hears a chuffing nosie. So he runs towards and watch a Canadian National U-1-F 4-8-2 Mountain Locomotive #6060 roll by with her train.

Harry Home was the Engineer of Canadian National U-1-f 4-8-2 Mountain Steam Locomotive 6060.

Thank you very much for uploading this! I remember watching this a long time ago!

thank you I was looking for the history and I found it!!! Cheers.
