On Saturday, June 9th, we decided to take a trip out to the Strasburg Railroad. We rode the excursion train, and then chased their Plymouth 20-tonner around the rail line . Below is an index of the locations we caught Strasburg 1:
00:20 - Groff's Grove
02:31 - Leaman Place
08:55 - Black Horse Rd
10:48 - Esbenshade Rd
12:37 - Paradise Ln - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Boy they made those Plymouths to last. They were built by The Plymouth Locomotive Works in Plymouth, Ohio, not by the car manufacturer.
The Plymouth factory closed down sadly.
They have a 35-ton Plymouth on the Stewartstown Railroad called "Mighty Mo" which
is their work horse right now
Enjoyed seeing this gem on the Strasburg. I've ridden the railroad three times, but always behind steam. I'd like to ride behind this Plymouth sometime. I rode the caboose on the Stewartstown Railroad powered by their Plymouth. I love hearing the Plymouths on these two railroads. They surge gurgle!!!
mark harding We enjoyed seeing this plymouth run too! Thank you for the additional info!
If you slow the video down you can tell the AEM-7 (the one around 6:00) in the video is 915, the one the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania wound up saving. So cool to see it in service passing by where it would end up.
The plymouth is cool too I hope they do these little runs once in awhile to honor their roots.
475 really made Plymouth look even tinier with that 8 car train. lol!
Great video!
I'm jealous that you got this footage...wish I could have been there!!
What a quality product Plymouth Locomotive works built. Really enjoyable to hear the gasoline engine at work.
That horn almost sounds like a Southern Pacific GP-9 horn
It must be where 8618's old horn went.
BNSF1995 Any diesel can use any kind of diesel horn, but alot of small switchers ranging from a small plymouth to a centercab would most likely use a 1-chime horn to start with.
Now here is something you don't see everyday especially on Strasburg.
Great video Mike! That was a fun day out!
Big horn for a small engine! I think this used to also do the caboose train during day out with Thomas
quite a surprise that tomorrow October 16, 2020 this little engine will be used for a photo charter with 89. Hope its load is short like 4 or 5 cars or less like the 2 passenger cars it pulled in this video.
That sounds like a T-head gas engine.
Now they’re something you don’t see everyday on the Strasburg railroad a diesel operating and pulling passenger trains. Normally mainly those jobs go to 475, 89, and 90 since their always the locomotives that pull the trains and photo freights and the diesels are mostly using for switching or for other reasons since the Strasburg Railroad operates their steam locomotives 95% of each year from late February to late December and is famous for being one of only a few tourlist lines in America that operates their steam locomotives most of the year and the only other tourlist lines that I know of that operates their steam locomotives almost everyday of the year is the Nevada northern and maybe also the Tennessee valley museum as well and if I’m missing any other tourlist line that does the same tell me
heritage day
was on 475 that day
7:23 What's going on with that AEM-7's left number board? It looks like someone just wrote "920" where the number board should be.
Amtrak just used what they had around I guess
I don't think the 44-tonner is at Strasburg anymore.
Erich Diebold they sold it in 2013
Is this different from the little loco called "Dinky"?
What the heck is that?
That's the smallest locomotive ever
What an ugly looking ugly sounding locomotive
