- Enjoy part two of our cab ride on Frisco #1630 at the Illinois Railway Museum. You'll see the crew working to operate the engine, a passing train, and a lot of beautiful green countryside. Come along as we head back to the West end. Thanks for watching The Steam Channel!

Awesome 1630's Video
Ah yes.....hitting the corners ...that's how to fire !! Did it for about three years on a 2-6-2 Baldwin ...lots of work , lots of fun ...miss it but not sure I could do it being about 30 years older !! great video
That fireman is dressed and is using that shovel like he’s a fireman on a steam locomotive in the UK
I was fortunate to see some of the last big steam locomotives at work in the Alleghany coal yards in the late 60's. Still love that lonesome whistle!
Mal wieder ein super Dampflok film vom allerfeinsten tolle führerstandmitfahrt macht Freude mitzufahren unbedingt ansehen💓💓💓💓
The Cab Rides of Steam Locomotives 🚂
Watching the fireman load up the firebox with coal is a magical sight 💛💛💛
I am a retired BNRR machinist 2008 with 41 years of service. I am delighted to see BN-2has been preserved on your railroad.Thank you much. Do you know where BN-1 is?
BN-1 was on the front of the Nebraska Zephyr in the video. BN-2 and BN-3 are also at the Illinois Rwy Museum.
Bn-3 was on the Nebraska. 1&2 are not in the video
Thanks for the ride & all the action.

I just love the cab of the steam train.
Great video guys!!
Loving the fireman's BR attire. Is that a Midland Region Red totem I see?
My grandfather was on ATSF 3751 during World War II, he said a banjo shovel was perfect before ATSF 3751 went to oil.
Santa Fe 3751 was hand-fired?
:)
Nice ride, thank you but actually my first all reverse cyber cab ride too.
Youngest engineer I have ever seen also....
:)
Volunteered at IRM years ago and had a chance to fire the 1630
How did you get a cab ride in her?
like that there is a guy in a British uniform in the cab
He actually is from Britain
Welshman2008 he probably worked for british railways
What is the engineer doing that he keeps pulling on the throttle
Opening it a bit more each time. Initially he just cracks it to let steam enter the cylinder chest and begin to both heat and to work against the cylinder walls and piston face. In order not to spin, he just barely opens the throttle because at start-up his reverser lever (the Johnson Bar) is fully forward, meaning leaving the valve openings uncovered and admitting steam into the cylinders for longer. Rather than flood the cylinders with a lot of pressure quickly, but also for a long duration, which would spin the drivers, he just cracks the throttle open a bit. Then , as speed builds, he brings the reverser toward him a bit, shortening the open time of the valve ports, and cracks open the throttle for a faster steam pressure response. At high speeds, the valve almost floats in place, barely covering the inlet ports, but the pressure is full-on from the boiler because he'll have the throttle wide open. The idea is to conserve water and steam, and thus the fuel to make them steam. By letting the steam admitted to the cylinders work a longer period, you get more work. This only happens while the valve ports are both fully closed, but for longer periods while the steam expands. This is the sole purpose of the reverser....to act as a gas peddle, but one that conserves fuel and water. Well, that and to actually reverse the locomotive, of course.
Why are they looking out backwards ?
They were making the reverse move back to the museum
🚂
Was that Dennis Daugherty scooping coal?
No.
Why is it running backward with engine in the rear?
why not?
The whistle sounds different
Owen Mruk
That’s because it is an NYC 6-chime whistle.
Is that coal? Or is it coke?
Stoker not working?
I can't remember if they said it doesn't work, or if its that the coal they get isn't small enough for a stoker to use. I've heard somewhere before, just don't remember. May just be since they are such a "small" (a relative term to running on the high iron) that they don't really need it to keep the fire good and hot.
