- This is my footage taken from the front carriage of 3016s train in the Great Train Race on April 9th at Steamfest 2017 in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Shot on iPhone 7+
If you enjoyed this footage, check out my video from Sydneys Great Train Race 2017, where I rode behind 3642 and videoed the other loco in this race. • The Great Train Race S...

The diesel pulls it's own weight and generates electricity for the facilities inside the coaches. The steam locomotive is doing all the work.
It's also there to pull it backwards cos no run around loops now and in case it breaks but other than that the steam engine does it all
The diesel doesnt pull anything. The motors are disengaged. All the diesels are providing is power.
Hell, it doesnt even have tom the steam engines have a dynamo (steam version of a gas generator) that produces some serious power.
@@davecrupel2817 later steam locomotives had turbo-generators to produce the electrical load.
hmmmmmmmmmmm... interesting.
The diesel locomotive is ONLY for the train control system. Old cars can produce electrical energy themselves using a small generator. Either via a belt drive on an axis or with a cardanic drive.
god, steam trains are just so damn majestic! I'm super glad that they haven't entirely been banished to the history books!
I could help but notice your profile pic. Is that Jebidiah Kerman? The living legend!
It could happen with coal mines being closed. Heritage Steam in uk is struggling to keep a local mine open. There is a lot of opposition by the lefties. HS may be forced to import from Russia after 2022 which may prove to be too costly.
@@haroldpearson6025 No why the heck are mines bweing closed.power plants need them.
@@cjones3710 Because people are insane and think ideology beats reality.
every time it makes a whistles takes me 40 years back.
My childhood, School and the pain happened in life...
Yeah me too.my entire child hood associated with steam rail.the filthy diesel came in between and now lost to electric locos.Nothing to beat steam locos.
Austrailian steam locomotives have a functional look all of their own while also showing British parentage (attention to elegance).. I really like 'em!
Ye they are British engines

Hats off to the wonderful team that restored this beauty back in all her glory
what is it about steam locomotives that is so satisfying? lol
Everything Redd...every single thing. The external visible moving parts.... the noise.....the smoke.....the perceived
eal danger of the boiler\ the firebox\the steam pressure and maybe most importantly....the smiles on the faces of those operating them, riding on them, observing them track side.......and for lots of us and maybe even you.....the smiles that seem to come from even watching videos of them.
yeap, and the patient to turn it on,,,three hours or more
They huff and they puff and all that "breathing" makes them appear almost alive.
I know right
Everything
No matter how powerful son gets, father will still remain at the top
5:35
there be a filthy diseasal at the back of that train!
"Coughs and sneezles, spread diseasals!"
that train is cheating!!! ban him from the server!
FrankieBoiTV are you trying to be a knob, he’s making a joke. Calm down XD
🤮
Both the locos would have a diesel at the back
I know there's no such thing as "the good ol' days", but damn if I don't wish just a little bit that I was alive in the steam engine era.
Imagine if this was an everyday sport.

Now CZcams has shown some quality content on my recommendation list....
I am always nostalgic of Steam locos. Marvelous video. Thanks for sharing.
Fantast. Am 78 yrs YOUNG, a brit. Can't beat the magic of steam!
Me and the boys having a train race.
William Marques underrated comment
Fantastic sights. I could even feel the “aroma “ of the smoke.
Why this can’t be an actual sport
I agree, should be an Olympic event.
It would be a great sport!!! Although the trains could crash.......
@@henrygordonproductionsnwr7559 who cares if it crashes?
Train crashs are cool!
@@rafaelvelasquesmendes933 i dont like steam crashes, i live diesel ones tho, i hate diesels
@@henrygordonproductionsnwr7559 I hate diesel too,but i still like Both diesel and steam crashes.
Woo! The Golden memories of my childhood days.Super! I really appreciate and I enjoyed this in my 70's.Thankyou.
though i have born when steam trains vanished from the scene, but this video gave me an idea how the days were when steam ruled in full glory
this brings me back like when im 7year old playing with my train toys😵🖤👌
It's just brilliant seeing how much power these machines have got yet they are being forgotten about each day

Looks so beautiful, damn the steam engine really reminds me of the days when steam used to rule the tracks. Too bad we have no longer them here, mostly electric locos and a few diesel ones
But there's preserved steamies in the UK
@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 I'm from India, over here you find mostly the Electric ones and a few Diesels. Steam is gone forever :(
@@goldrushjkgh oh i see,sorry
You're lucky there wasn't a Victorian loco there too, it'd have just screamed past on the middle track without having even known there was a race going on.
I would of had a heart attack to see this
And why is that?
That green engine though is absolutely gorgeous!
If you admire the 36 class you will drool at the restoration of a beautiful 38 class in progress.

Majestic and Magnificent steam locos.The sounds are awesome
These trains are so beautiful 😍 isn't it?
It's called- the art of the steam
Before watching the video...
It's gonna be special, its gonna be great! Leaving behind, all our coaches and freight. Please, sir, we beg you! We just have to know, will you, won't you take us to the railway show.
(The Great Race)
xD
Just Awesome....Lovely Engine Sound And Whistles
Henry Vs James In A Race
No juan escobar
Gordon vs henry
Star 737 well more like Henry Vs Donald or Douglas
This reminds me the episode of old iron
Imagine your in old time traveling on this machine and crossing vast desert and robbers on horse following from all sides and only Speed can save you.
Have you watched too many bad western films? A whistle from the locomotive and riding has an end or occasionally an obstacle at the edge of the track has the same effect.
@@LifeforArt I dont want end 😁
We need more of this today
I had no idea racing with trains was a thing.
....would certainly make my morning commute interesting, faster at least!
Why can't America have things like this :(
Wtf do you mean, Union Pacific restored and made the world's largest steam loco operational again, the USA has its share of steam loco heritage runs
@@hornbytrainsets they rarely run them though
These steam beauties are even faster than today's engines.
Wow….hats off to the photogs…exciting , beautiful work friends
Really it looks like a beast rather than an engine. A living being.
Id love for us to do this in the UK, Scotsman vs Tornado or Bittern, would be amazing. No space on our network alas. :(
Side note, is 3642 partly a Bitish design, those cylinders, boiler and firebox are incredibly familiar?
can you imagine the passengers from opposite wagons try to to reach and slap each other in the face???
3:23 what the heck was that. Is that ghost train?
😨sahi bole bhai kya capture kr liya isne or koi nahi kia comment uske baare m creepy , 😲😲
No the flying Scotsman 😹
@@sargeantsucks that isn't the flying scotsman tho...
@@MooseEgg1 you are saying that it was a joke?
@@sargeantsucks the scene was cut straight to the steam locomotive ignoring that Diesel or a pantograph train
Wow! It had such an amazing whistle!!!!!
I just love coal engines and this vedio is superb thanks for the upload GREAT
Definitely the coolest vid ive seen in agesss
Go for steam without smoke, hot metal is an alloy where the small particles in each metal stimulates the movement of each other, that creates heat. The energy is from the Unified Field.
The speed of the 3642 is 80km/h. With 10m2 40mm hotmetal it can be 90 km/h and add rebalance wheels it can go 180km/h. left front driver reduce 80g on the counterweight 5cm from the wheelrim.
2nd wheel add 90g 3rd add 78g right side: power is in the Unified Field front wheel add 90g second wheel add 89g 3rd wheel reduce 90g.
Good Photography, good work and good to see
i simply loved the race.
1st time I've seen steam locos in NSW. Now subscribed.................Mike in Llanblethian,Wales UK.
Oodles more Australian steam videos by Paul Shepherd, Video Mitch, Fishplate Films. Oldest steam loco operational in Southern Hemisphere is Queensland A10 No 6.

In England steam locomotive were discarded and termed as pollution maker. In India steam locomotive got retirement and are kept with great respect !
Well there's preserved british engines and some still run or are in static display
Very good video
Thank you

I'd wet myself if I saw this! Magnificent!
Me as the Conductor:
"Faster! Faster!"
As I pick up a shovel and start a pincer action with the fireman (my shovel of coal going into the firebox as his is picking up another of coal), "Shovel you son of a b$%ch, shovel!" 😜
Steam trains are part of the witness of past history, which still attracts more attention than electric trains or diesel trains.
Now this is unique!
Why isn't this an Olympic sport. It needs to be a sport.
Yes

GREAT..GREAT...GREAT.....RACE...beautiful.....
Steam trains are beautiful machines brung to Life by Steam and Fire. Vary magnificent
How beautifully it sound... And how majestic it looks..... Govt should run or atleast such coal locomotive, with all prestigious trains
It's reminded me * The Polar Express* movie 🍿
Wonderful capture , a splendid video Thanks for Sharing, Mrs Mitra india
It’s funny that North American locomotives (steam and diesel) are astronomically bigger then European locomotives
Very dengerous and beautiful race
I would love to video some of this action! Just need an excuse to go to Australia
King Orry Well I think you’ve found one
All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!
Imagine that a japanese maglev just appeared in the middle of the race
Japan have maglev man, it is the L0 Series and it is much faster than the one in Shanghai
We left steam too soon. I believe, that with today's technology, steam can burn cleaner, and be more fuel efficient, than modern diesel-electric. Modifications to the lubrication systems could make steam less maintenance intensive, than diesel. I also like the fact that steam locomotives can burn ANYTHING as fuel. Any solid, liquid, or gas as fuel.(the ultimate "flex fuel" engines!)
Wait is it really possible to make steam cleaner?
@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 Much cleaner: First off, burning Bio-mass is carbon neutral. For wood to grow, it takes carbon dioxide out of the air. When burnt, it only releases EXACTLY what it took to grow it. It's merely a very indirect form of solar storage. As far as the steam locomotive boiler, a combined gasification combustion process can all but eliminate NOx and CO emissions. The engine itself, would be a positive displacement equivalent to the turbines used in existing power plants. Throttling the engine by varying the percentage of admittance makes a simple double action engine behave like a multi expansion engine, which yields better thermal efficiency than a turbine at part throttle. (Turbines are efficient, but only at or near full rated power)
Wonderful sir.... Amazing to see this race
Nallamuri Hanumant thank you. :)
You can see my footage of this years race here: czcams.com/video/LE_MnJTJcIc/video.html
Reminds me of the past days
Great train race..
Excellent videos
Great Video!!! Loved It !!! When I was watching this I was wondering what camera you used then when I finished watching I looked at the description a saw it was an IPhone 7 just wow the quality of the vide is great.I subscribed and I look forward to seeing more of your films in the future.From Steam In New South Rails
Steam In New South Rails Thank you. Yeah, I'm very pleased with the quality of the video, shot in 4K at 30fps. Glad you enjoyed it. My next one will be some footage from the Puffing Billy railway in Victoria and I hope to post it soon (once I've sorted all my footage out)
Richard Ferraro ohhh sounds good can't wait aha
Steam In New South Rails
It is great super steam locomotive engine Iwho is loving every time so.my father was indian steam engine driver . So l love I enjoyed childhood
I bet my bottom dollar that any of these two locos can beat a Bugatti in a mile drag race on this track.
Gotta admit even though Steam Engines are honestly quite rare nowadays they still remain at least top 3 if not the top of the best engineering to come out of humanity
Fantastic Views...Steam Locomotive Race. Memorable Model engine of World Railway Dept.
Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga choo choo.....
😂
😂
Gah my steam train loving heart!!
super video! I am just a girl, but I like locomotives. I made some videos too, where I can be seen aside such monsters)
I really enjoyed this video especially since I'm a very big steam train supporter :) :)
Thanks Skyjr360 #1! Glad you enjoyed it, and feel free to check out my other videos too.
Steam verses Steam. A rare capture.
OLD IS GOLD
Nobody: time to sleep
CZcams: wanna watch Thomas and friends?
THOMAS AND FRIENDS THE GREAT RACE 2
This should be an Sport
O what a legend and iconic train v good job
That us Un-fucking-believably awesome
Nice capture,speed approx 50miles/h .Each loco have only 2 power pistons to convert the alternative to rotative movement
ya.... thats generally what a steam loco has..... two pistons....
whats your point?
Let's have a race. Have a race. Have a race. Let's see who is the quickest.
This must be so popular.
'And the Fat Controller has warned Thomas not to race at dangerous speeds. So although, between you and me, they'd like to have another race, I don't think they ever will. Do you?'
4:16 how come the back driving wheels are spaced farther apart than the previous two sets?
Both are Master Piece .......
