- On the weekend of July 20th 2019, Train Chamber, Trainfan1015, and CPR Works made the trek out to the Valley Railroad in Essex Connecticut. With an oncoming heatwave, the high humidity and high temperatures lead to exhausting conditions, and even a real feel of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the heat seemed unbearable at times, we toughed it out to film the Valley Railroads Chinese SY, #3025. Equipped with a melodic Nathan 6 Chime, #3025 makes her daily run from Essex, to Hadlyme, pulling the Essex Steam Train's "Train & Riverboat" Excursion.
The Valley Railroad's beginnings start way back in 1868, as the Connecticut Valley Railroad. With the line being last used n 1968, the Valley Railroad leases the line from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and is slowly restoring the rest of the line to Middletown. They own three steam locomotives, #40, #97, and #3025. Seen in this video, #3025 is a Chinese SY Class 2-8-2 Mikado, Built in 1989 by the Tangshan Locomotive Works. Originally working for the Knox & Kane Railroad, members of the Valley Railroad purchased the locomotive for cheap, and completely rebuilt the locomotive, being modeled after a New Haven J-1. She returned to service in 2011 and has been running since.

Train Chamber hmmmmm
@@MPT_Productions xD
The whistle on 3025 reminds me of cn 7470's whistle
A little bit yea
Amazing as usual, Do you happen to know when 425 will be operating the normal Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway Excursions?
I really hoped they were doing it this year but i think they are skipping it. So they can do more work on 2102. Thats what i heard.
Must’ve been real hot chasing 3025... I like the whistle on her as well
We cooked alive at some points
The whistle is amazing
@@CPLWTrainz oof
*Lethal Lavaland Intensifies*
Train Chamber XD
Man I feel bad for the crew lol
102 Real feel + the extra heat from the fire
You guys should head out to the Conway Scenic sometime to catch 7470. Also, #40IsBetterThan3025
its definitely on our list & agreed!
3025 actually had a New Haven 6 Chine I spoke to Engineer J David Conrad, & Kenny Blandina
That sounds just like 630’s 6 chime from 2018.
A little bit yea
Train chamber do you remember me? I change my name from “The train master master of steam” to something else. And I’m actually fixing my train right now I’m so close to finding out what broke.
Awesome! And yes i do remember you, i hope all goes well
**SIX CHIME DETECTED** Foams all over camera* 😦💨💨💨
F O A M
You should hear it when she’s screaming. It’s sounds so good!
@@ConnecticutRailFilms It doeeeessssssss. We heard one of the engineers let lose at Dock Road from Hadlyme. I actually used the audio in the very end of the video
