- On September 10th and 11th, 2016, Viscose Company 0-4-0T #6 once again pulled short trips on the Catskill Mountain Railroad out of Mt. Tremper, reprising last year's August excursions. This is her second trip to the CMRR this year. Seen at the very end of the video is former Lake Superior & Ishpeming 2-8-0 #23, which is currently under restoration. Go to www.savetherails.org to find out how you can make sure the 23 has a place to run in Ulster County and how to preserve the Ulster & Delaware for future generations.
Great to see these old lines reopening!
Love the old steam whistle!!
Comming to Kingston N.Y. on July 26th and 27th. 2019!!
I should look up the history of the invention of the earplug.
Good to see that Mountain Thunder has a sister.
They spelled ALCO wrong they wrote ALCOA on the boiler of LS&I 23 What is with the Empire State Railway Museum spelling things wrong
I really like watching these videos of steam engine that runs on track from place to place
1:23 is THAT all the water the engine needs??
LOL XD I see what you did there.
Its for the crew but lol
What are the tracks coming out from the brush at the end of the video
Me gusta
Is it standard gauge? By the way a nice landscape that is, congrats.
that it is my freind
Yes. 56 1/2 inches.
With no tender, where do they put the water for the engine? Not to mention that tiny bit of coal won't take you very far.
This type of steam engine is called a saddle tank locomotive. The water is carried in a curved tank that appears to be slung over the boiler like a saddle. You can see it pretty good near the video end when she's pulling into the station. One benefit of the saddle tank was adding more weight over the drivers giving the small engine a bit more pulling power. You're right...these engines were not meant for long distance running and were many times owned by logging companies, quarrys, and other businesses and industries with shorter trackage.
Also built for switching and Commuters, in varying sizes.
Is this railroad no longer running? I heard it became railbikes or something where you bike down the tracks. This railroad normally used a diesel, the Viscose travels around by truck to different tourist railroads. Sections of the line are washed out, and three different tourist railroads own three different segments.
Fireman stayed pretty busy. That little engine has a big appetite for coal.
ce petit train : est vraiment merveiillieux *** claudius *** belgium **europe ***
There are hardly enough passengers aboard to make this trip a profit. How sad.
The train tracks need to be replaced with new one
that old line is having trouble right now. there doing what they can. also why replace it? trains are able to run on them still its not a big time railroad
Well yes However since restoring LS&I 23 it’s a pretty heavy engine The Empire State Railway Museum even send that their tracks are to damage to run the engine on eventually they’ll have to be replaced
