In this video, Penn Rail Videos is going to take you on an exciting 25 minute adventure at the Tweetsie Railroad theme park in Blowing Rock, NC.
We'll first start out by watching both locomotives (#12 and #190) prepare for their day's work. We'll then follow the #12 around the park first, watching it pass by in several locations, and even have some views from inside the cab!
"Tweetsie" #12 was built in 1917 by Baldwin for the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad. She is a 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" type locomotive and is the last narrow-gauge engine from the ET&WNC to survive.
Next up we'll take a look at the ex-White Pass & Yukon Railroad 2-8-2 #190. She was built in 1943 for the US Army Transportation Corps. At this time, the US Army owned the White Pass & Yukon Railroad. In 1960, the #190 was brought to the hills of North Carolina where she has been ever since. To tourists of Tweetsie Railroad, she is known as the "Yukon Queen".
Also of note is that the coach behind #12 came from the East Broad Top RR in Rockhill Furnace, PA. Also the open cars being pulled by the #190 also came from the EBT as flat cars, and were made into open air cars by Tweetsie.
After we take a look at both engines in operation, we'll be treated to a double-header as the two locomotives team up to pull the regular tourist train. After this, we'll conclude with the grand finale show of steam as both locomotives perform fantastic run-bys for everyone's enjoyment.
We would like to extend a huge "Thank You" to the people who operate the Tweetsie Railroad and maintain these fine machines so that the public can see them in operation in the 21st century. It's becoming harder to find a place with two operating steam locomotives in one place, and we highly recommend the Tweetsie Railroad's railfan weekend to any train buff!

I used to watch this video all the time when I was little, Good Times! 😊
I was there at that time and that was an awesome Railfest!
You really should! My family has visited Tweetsie since the 50's. It's a great place to bring the family, and if you love trains, well... the video speaks for itself. ;)
Awesome! Tweetsie's a neat place.
Penn Rail Videos - Great vid. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow amazing video! 12 sound amazing in this video! Especially which what sounded like a Pennsy 3 chime on her. Thanks for sharing!
My guy, that’s a Baldwin 3 chime. Not a Pennsy 3 chime 💀💀💀
absolutely amazing video! I watched every second of it, the whistles were so captivating
the engines are truly alive.
What a cute little engine!
I love tweetsie 190 & 12 I like the ride.
Great video, I'm in the top left hand corner of the shot starting at 6:32 I have the camera and tripod with the baseball cap. Unfortunately Tweetsie is not letting us walk the tracks anymore at Railfan Weekend. It Sucks. Oh well still love Tweetsie.
Walking on tracks in dangerous and lnleagl
@@meryreyes6209 It was not illegal then, we were given special permission by the park for railfan weekend.
Oh ok but still it's dangerous
You should. It is amazing!
I'm not even 8 minutes into the video and I've already decided that I need to visit this wonderful place.
Yes, it was a wonderful place, I've been there so many times, definitely recommend it!
My family and I came here when I was about 4 years old
The 12 use to run beside my house and my grandparents use to ride it to work in the Great Depression
I saw this driving out of boone. I was like damn i didnt get time to check this out.
Well done, Adam. Was a great time!

Oh, how magical it was to go for a ride on one of these. Being a fan of classic steam locomotives, this was about as great a birthday present as is possible to receive.
Great video and fantastic quality!
Ever been?
East Coast Rail Chasers Sure have, for my 12th birthday I think. It was probably the last ride of the day, but it was still a fantastic show.
TraustiGeir the thing is of tweetsie is once you go there once theres no stopping me and my fam go there every summer
Brilliant tradition.

I miss engine 12 whistle when it sounded like this it sounded way better than how it sounds now
her sister 192 is in pigeon forge tn at dollywood. both are amazing works of art
such memories. I worked there in 1975-77 and the various skills I learned from Frank, Spencer and the rest of the leadership has followed me for a long time.
ENjoyed that video, just learned about the existancte of these to locomotives. Hope to visit this park soon and catch them.

thats one good looking train
I love trains now, but when I went to tweetsie as a kid and they did the horn I started crying like a baby.
Alexander Rahl ggggggggggbhgbhjjmlklkpÑmkk.66666632111111122
It's a whistle, not a horn
No. 12 is a classic
@TNtrainboy15 Yes it is! Glad you liked this video.
Excelente, me encanta no solo los trenes sino los paisejes. Soy de Argentina y si bien no son tan majestuosos, tenemos un tren en Esquel que se llama "La Trochita", para el turismo. Con paisajes impresionantes por la cordillera de nuestro país. felicitaciones por lo que tienen, algún día me gustaría conocerlos personalmente.

Amazing video, I can't wait to get to Tweetsie.

I remember this I went there a while ago I barley remember it though but the memory I have I love
What I remember most about the train ride was my eyes filling up with coal ash and missing the show, lol
P.B. Theriver same XD
I love the intro
I live near tweetsie and we would go every year, I seemed to remember 12 as a backup engine, but that could be wrong. I liked watching the cowboy show as well as riding the trains. I remember one time by brother got a cinder in his eye, that was fun.
Engine 12 is the main engine 190 is the backup engine if you look at the posters they have you will see the number 12 on them
Me to I live next to tweetsie I like watching out for the train sounds and I here tweetsie witshle
Lord, they keep the paint so beautifully glossy, they almost look like gigantic model trains.

@Bassfanatic94 Thanks! 12's whistle however sounds nothing like a PRR 3, as the PRR 3 chimes are more mellow-toned. The whistle on 190 sounds more Pennsy-like then 12's. That high-pitched whistle is her ET&WNC whistle, which probably came from Baldwin. So TECHNICALLY it's a Baldwin 3 chime.
Yeah I love this vid

@GenesisSanctuary They are very cool! Only visit on the Railfan weekend though, as throughout the other times of the year you will NOT be able to get shots around the park.
Yes 3 feet between the rails.
@Bassfanatic94
That's her original ET&WNC whistle you are hearing.
Tweetsie 190 Has A Low Tune
I like the whistle patters of 190 on 15:42 and 16:07
They need to get that Crosby sounding like that again.
Who built this wooden railroad trestle?
Nobody knows
Fun fact: The twin sister of engine #190 is engine #192 located in Pigeon Forge Tennessee where she currently is, at Dollywood!
@Sirterp Thanks!! I am glad you liked it.
Yea he is the one who is in a house

Is it just me, or do the bells they put on Baldwins sound like someone banging on a garbage can?
Bisakah saya pergi kesitu....🙏
is that a 3 chime whistle
September 11... 😔😔😔 10th Anniversary of you-know-what...
Penn Rail Videos my friend 12's whistle is a Baldwin 3 chime steam whistle
is the tweetsie a narrow gauge
Yes
Indeed
its cool how this place has REAL steam trains...oppose to the pick-up truck sized electric tram trains replicated to look like a mini steam train where the engineer sits on a fake metal/plastic coal lump of the pretend coal car to operate the train ...you know the kind you see at zoos,carnivals,Six Flags,kiddie amusement parks etc
I came to tweetsie railroad when i was on vacation in the North Carolina blue ridge mountains when I was 4 years old after going on the train and some amusement park rides we explored some of the buildings like there were places themed as saloons and we went to a place like a jail cell I saw a person in a another cell he looked like an Indian it was pretend jail I think it was a statue in there not an actual person
HOW TWEETSY CAN A RAILROAD GET.
I GUESS PRETTY TWEETSY.

Can some please explain to me the real purpose of that bloody annoying bell???? What are the law requirements as to where and when it is rung? On videos that I have seen there seems to be no logic for its ringing ie out on the main line in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason!
