Texas and Pacific

The Texas and Pacific 2-10-4 steam locomotive, #610, and Southern Railway 2-8-2, #4501, each pull an excursion train along the Northfolk & Western Railroad, and then pair up for a doubleheader excursion in 1977.

4501: Average
630: Good
722: Great
2716: Uhhhhhh
610:EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rogerhuber3133]

The 610 was and is a magnificent engine. I love her whistle!

[@RailFoxMedia]

Ok but like can we talk about this dope a** music playing in the back? 😂

[@Danthehorse]

I know, it takes me back to 70s porn movies! 😂

[@texasandpacific610]

I hope that she will run again. 610 is my favorite steam locomotive

[@evanf1293]

I don't see that happening

[@hoppercar]

Not very likely

[@texasandpacific610]

@@hoppercar much appreciated thanks. My dream is to restore the locomotive to operation. If the Union Pacific can restore a big boy, maybe can I don’t know. All we can do is dream

[@crocowithaglocko5876]

I love steam double heading

[@BalticFilms144]

0:18 610 almost sounds like SSW 819 in 1988.

[@Farside2020]

No joke, and 11 years before the Cotton Belt returned to steam no less!

[@phantombrakeman4983]

I used to have a copy of this film on super 8, .I don't remember who it was that was selling the copies. Cool to see it again.

[@rogerlollar4325]

I believe she was the only Texas type in excursion service right?

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Yes. She however wasn’t a speed locomotive. Her top speed was 35 mph because her pilot wheel had numerous problems

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

It’s a shame 610 isn’t in working order. A former excursion star deserves better. At least she still is in a somewhat good condition even if she isn’t moving under her own power.

This is one of the clips from six Hired Guns

[@AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014]

The whistle sounds squeaky in several spots. Or maybe that’s just me

[@joshmeister4449]

I love 610, but Jesus Southern Railway was rough on her whistle.

[@vadmscheer]

I'm digging the porno vibes from this background music. Really underscores that it was 1977.

Dude, you didn’t have to post the title from one of my videos!

[@danyoung6995]

my name is Jackson I'm using my dad's phone and my dad was born in 1977

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

Trying to find out who asked

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Bill must have had the 610 up to 45 mph at least

[@rogerlollar4325]

You mean W. Graham Claytor Jr. right

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

@@rogerlollar4325 I thought Bill was engineer that day. I’ll have to check out the excursion book for more info

[@amyreynolds3619]

I wonder if they would have let the 610 go up Saluda mountain

[@NickelPlatedProductions]

Is it possible that I can use this video for my documentary about the Southern Railway Steam Program? I will credit you in the description. Thanks in advance~Joseph

[@LoveAllTrains]

This is from an old reel to reel film my father showed me as a child. I’m not sure who made it. My father transferred it to VHS and then I transferred it to DVD and digital. Not sure who you should credit. I can’t take credit.

[@NickelPlatedProductions]

@@LoveAllTrains ok thanks, im guessing its out of print

2-8-2 and 2-10-4

[@Train_Tok_Man]

It’s actually Norfolk & Western.

[@edmaphet6]

That's one thing bad about Sunday River Productions there music was wacky in these videos.

[@timsering9964]

Why am.I.hearing a whistle, and seeing no steam ??.....god I hate this crappy dubbed in stuff...then.just the opposite, I see steam, and hear no whistle...but worst of all, the exhaust beats dont.match.the wheel rotation

[@JOEMAMA_534]

They had to make do with the limitations back then.
