  • Steam locomotives are a rare sight in the 21st Century, but it is even more unusual to see two of them running together! In this video, we will see several different trains being pulled by two steam locomotives. We will visit several different railroads to see locomotives big and small as they work together to pull trains down the line. All aboard!

    I’ve adored steam trains since I was little. In fact I got a new train set every Xmas because the previous year’s was worn out from the amount of fun I’d had with it. I’m female by the way. A few years back I was the proud owner of 120 acres in country Australia. It was very frustrating that I couldn’t afford to put a train track around it, plus the cost of the train itself. I had to make do with the roos & the wild deer as entertainment instead. Sometimes when I’m reminiscing I realise what a great life I’ve lived. & watching these marvellous videos makes me happy. Very happy.

    Modern trains are press a button and the engine is ignited, never knew LOCOMOTIVE TRAINS were that much of steam carriers, plus you have to fill the water chamber fully, or create a fire in one of the furnaces. Just the locomotive horn sound really shows how people in the older centuries were geniuses to build these steam machines. Liked your video, amazing

      That's why I love reading old interviews with steam engineers. ALL of them made the same metaphor: a steam engine is like a living, breathing entity. Not a mere machine, but an ANIMAL, and one that they had to learn to tame. ❤

      A steam engine is still a combustion engine. Only that it is an external combustion engine, and the combustion happens outside of the cylinder. They still have burning coal, wood, and other combustibles.

      In which sense? They are better in generation of pollution and noise. They're not very good in steep railroad, because the water flow within the boiler pipes might have an uneven flow. And without considering the shay locomotive, the direct coupling of the piston to the wheels gave them a very narrow range of operations. But Choo Choo right?

A consist of two steam locomotives would be distinctly unusual in North America today: for starters there isn't the coaling and watering infrastructure.

    3:56 number 7 looks a lot like an engine built for the Puffing Billy Railway in Australia! Nice to see two tank locos doublehead!
    4:46 the whsitle on engine 15 kinda sounds like one off of a Japanese steam locomotive! I like the whistles the jNR engines have!
    This year, 844 and 4014 will doublehead back from Odgen, Utah to cheyenne from May 11th to the 19th!

    The train driver has two buttons he can use, break and honk. Guess which one he loves to use.
