- The Lackawanna Avenue overpass in Scranton, PA overlooks the Steamtown Wye which is on the 10-mile hill to/from Clark's Summit which is one mile from the Taylor Yard.. It's my favorite area spot for catching trains and today did not disappoint....

We all love the chortle of ALCO's accelerating with a load on a grade. No other sound like it. I wonder how many years we have left to enjoy that wonderful sound. Great shots. Excellent video AC.
I think they'll be around for a while.
Love Railroad history. Very informative. Following the little diesel up and down the east coast was interesting!
Thanks Jerry.. That engine has quite a history.
19:44 I’ve caught a handful of these moves over the past few years. The first one was on July 20 2017 when sole powerful train 962 made a U-Turn on the Steamtown Wye to head up to Binghamton, long hood forward.
19:50 sole power for train 962
Best quote, "a half-hearted heritage hopper harem." Great vid AC. I have seen a few of those hoppers out here in WY. I usually see the red worms and old BN green rust buckets out here tho. Plus lots and lots of tank cars.
Every time I watch one of you videos,I learn something new! I have a difficult time (on certain models) being able to differentiate locomotives. The CP headlight info was killer!
Thanks AC
Thanks Mark.. I'm glad you're getting something out of them.
Always nice to see some Nickel Plate still roaming the rails. Living in Illinois, that's one of my local heroes.
Indeed.. And perfectly understood.
21:28 I almost jumped out of joy for no reason when I saw #9108. Ive seen that in Moberly Missouri's Ns yard and just found it cool that we saw the same locomotive.
Understood.. I feel the same way when I see familiar locos in other people's videos.
28:05 Keeping in mind this IS 2015! Before the interchange two was moved to Portland for two years and then back again to Taylor.
14:30 Train 14r came around the ben with the 4 CP locomotives in tow.
8:43 The ft diesel is the engine that single-high-handedly wiped out the steam locomotive.
8:48 The 1901 was first tested on the Atlantic Coast Line and was soon rejected and returned to EMC after being found inadequate for the duties and which was has to be assigned.
8:57 Or the a mention is that they also tested an ALCO H-H-6-6-0, which had ironically numbered, #1900.
wow you are the Man !!! Great catch !!!
Thanks David.
Yet another excellent video, lots of interesting history to go along with the heavy train activity. AND Love that ALCO footage! ( Wonder if the ALCO 4 strokes kept the "choo Choo" in train description for kids? )
Thanks Commander.. But I don't know.
9:34 On April 1st 1944, the little EMD was purchased out ry by the RFMP and was renumbered RF&P #50.
The CSX tier 4 SD70ACe’s are on the move now
Thanks Carter.. So I'm hearing!
It was all great and then there were ALCOS..MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE! Awesome stuff here AC! Your memory is like a steel trap with this stuff. Just amazing!
Thanks Bethany! I always appreciate you chiming in!
28:13 The 405 had to cut away light from the rest of the consist because of the six axle 3643 in the fourth position.
Love the documentary a lot of hard work and great catches love the two shot footage 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Brat.. Yes, it is a lot of work.. I'm glad that you appreciate it.
Nice video I guess you saw me I was the stupid looking one at 671 looking and the 80MACs
I knew who you were.. Didn't mention you in the video for sake of your privacy but since you beat me to it!!.. Thanks BTW.
Well Done once again!!! Thanks A.C.
No problem, John.. Thanks for watching.
man you went all out awesome video !
Thanks Sean.. It's only gonna get better!
Great video! I really wish I saw the 14R with all the CP units. I think I was out of town that day.
There's a very old Vulcan switcher locomotive, looks similar to a 44 tonner, that I know of. It's red and it's missing one of its engines. It's in an abandoned building and I think last time I checked the building was sealed off. Do you think there's any shred of a chance Steamtown would want it? I tried to contact the railroad who owns the property but they ignored me.
If you would like to make a video on it or the location reply for my email (I don't want to disclose the location publicly)
I'm not sure how I would approach a scenario like yours.. I don't know if Steamtown would want it.
@@Trains21 I didn't think so but I don't want to see it go to junk :/
@@NEPATrains Me neither.
having started my rail photography with Penn Central, I never in my dreams(or nightmares as PC was) thought I would see a PC locomotive roaming the mail lines again.
btw, PC would paint the grab rails yellow, not seen here.
Yep, I remember.
40:44 The Pullman Standard Car Manufacturer in North America.
Thank you, AC! Love the vintage locomotives, steam and diesel. How do you keep track of the history of these locomotives? 🚂👍
Most of it comes from being around them.
Another premium video. ♡ T.E.N.
Thaks Tracy.
10:09 And the McCormick Sanding Gravel Company south and boy New Jersey, again as number 26.
South Amboy, NJ
10:13
10:17 Towanda Monroe TN shippers lifeline (a tiny short line operation) in Towanda, Monroe, Tennessee
10:19
10:20
Nice video! What is the significance of the new switch at Steamtown? I really like BN and BNSF because name is James Burlington.
I don't know but thanks for watching.
41:04 Portek Paragon
Cool video. I wonder how long the ALCOs will last?
Thanks Jim.. I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon.
1:58 often DC tractive power
1:59
Pretty awesome video, AC.
Thanks Drew.. I appreciate you watching.
You’re welcome.
General train question: is there a significance to NS train numbers (37T, etc) or are they just randomly generated?
Awesome video, AC!
Thanks Scott.
46:34 Keapin in mind
46:35
9:14 9:15 9:16 WWII
Another rail system work rule: During the late 70s, Norfolk and Western Railroad trains were limited to the maximum tractive effort of 5 four axle locomotives.
Thanks for sharing that info John, it is much appreciated.
Great Video!
Thanks guys!
Very cool and informative
Thanks man.
Wow i wish i found this channel about a month ago. Not from the area and on a day trip, the directions given to me didnt make any sence and i just stayed near steamtown. Looks like i missed alot
Well, there'll be other days for you.. Thanks for chiming in.
man the 9188 was ALCOing up the place wasn't it?
Indeed it was.
40:53 The General American Transportation Corporation
Is the Horseshoe Curve derailment affecting the Sunbury line at all?
I don't know but I hope so.
I miss driving down the ally to the main st. of Pittston Junction to see the 26 and never inservice RBMN SD50M 5029 sitting on the wye. I also had no idea of Muller’s beef with North shore, would you happen to know more about that?
Muller has beef with both the PNERR and the North Shore because neither hired him on as their rail carrier on their lines.. PNERR opted for the D-L and Seda Cog the North Shore system.
wow... idk if I would call that mature or a good reason to have beef.
@@rnrailproductions5049 I call it greed.. Although I don't let it show on this channel, I have a big disliking for Andy Muller.. We've had dealings in the past.. I only represent his railroad because (it is a cool railroad, I'll give him that, he runs a fine railroad) and that it would be impossible to do a complete documentary of NEPA railroading without including your employer.
Been a rail fan my whole life, but how exactly do you know the train numbers and locomotive types? Is there a website or something? Thanks and nice catch
You could look this info up online but most of my knowledge comes from years of being around them.
5217 was still a high hood
It was then, I don't know now.
CAn you go get images of the new shop being built on the DL and the New /old axle Alco they acquired at the old shop
I'll certainly try.
Interested in the dynamic braking rules. Why are they limited, is it because when they generate they create energy into the tracks as well as rheostatic or regenerative power?
Nothing goes to the tracks. It all goes to the heating elements in the roofline.
27:42 Iowa Interstate hopper... and, what's a Winchester and Western hopper? 27:51
Winchester & Western is a railroad that operates in two places.. New Jersey and Virginia.
What determines "light power"? 4 vs. 6 axles? Is 4 axle power still made new for light duty and yard work?
"Light power" is a term to describe a train that only consists of locomotives.. There are still 4-axle locos made for light duty, but not many this day and age.
9:05
Dude. Good video and everything but do you ever practice your script before you record the dialorgue? And after you record your vocals it would be a lot easier to cut out and replace your misread lines if you paused between sentences more often. Take these examples:
7:54 "...maybe weeks at the most before it'll be gettin' set in 'bout a quarter mile down the ways there at the-uh Steantiown wye north end of the Steamtown wye." Let me rewrite this for you: (switch scene deleted)
8:26 "...The six hundred and sixty horsepower Electro-Motive Corporation SW1 in-cab switcher number 1901 that was a mouthful has an incredible life story." Let's rewrite this one as well. "...First we find Lehigh Valley number 1901, an EMD SW1 yard switcher powered by a six humdred horsepower General Motors 567 prime mover." Then you continue on with the rather mundane and standard-issue history for a piece of railroad equipment from this era in east coast railroading.
8:34 "...It was built in an astonishingly nineteen thirty-nine." we'll change that to "It was built in nineteen thirty-nine." or even "Number 1901 came off EMD's La Grange assembly line in June of 1939." because there's nothing about the date it was manufactured that's astonishING when you consider production started in December of 1938. If they didn't manufacture the SW1 until 1979 and this one was made in 1939, THAT would be astonishing, and rightly so.
FYI, numbers like 660 are pronounced "six hundred sixty" there is no "and" in the number. It's 660 not 600and60 or 600+60. Also, nobody calls it EMC. I don't care if you're technically correct, just say EMD like every other human being who ever lived. EMC makes enterprise IT equipment, EMD makes locomotives.
Well you sure told him. Who the hell are you? It's obvious this your first time at this site, correct?
That's just not the way to meet friends and influence people just so you know for future reference.
Would you say that at work to your boss? nuf sed
