  • There is plenty of vintage film footage from the days of steam, but film with synchronized sound is rare. In this video, we present such footage from the steam era.
    These scenes were originally released by Blackhawk Films, but the sound was out of sync with the picture. We have re-edited these scenes, correcting the out of sync audio to present them as they were meant to be seen... and heard.

    Great footage. I note one train identified s a N&W local is actually The Tennessean. That was a joint Southern/N&W train. The streamlined passenger cars are the give away.

    Now if someone out there could run these films through one of those A.I.'s that take old films like these, colorize them, clean them up, and then bring them up to HD 60FPS qualities, we'd be foaming over film. But these will do. These will do nicely.

    • @pastaweasel5088
      @pastaweasel5088 Před 2 lety +7

      60 FPS could actually make the film look worse . Since a computer is automatically adding frames the movement of the trains might look a bit sketchy.

    Much of this footage was shot by Fred Macleod using his 16mm Auricon movie camera which also recorded sound. It was a very expensive camera and out of financial reach of the average fan.

    There was nothing like the majesty of steam in it's heyday. If only we continued to develop it alongside diesel & electric, experimented with other fuel types.

    • @DivergingClear
      @DivergingClear  Před 2 lety +4

      The problem with steam is it reaches a maximum of about 8% thermal efficiency, as opposed to 25% for diesels. Add to that the army of workers required to keep steam locomotives running, and it becomes evident that steam never had a chance... and shouldn't have.
      Steam locomotives have more personality and are much more interesting in our opinion, but that unfortunately doesn't contribute a cent to the bottom line.

    Although it's the real sound but is still not near to the pure original, maybe the recorded of those era is not that sensitive. The real original sound is sharp and clear individually. But that's it. Thank you very much for your video.

      It would be wonderful to use today's technology to capture scenes like this. Who hasn't had the idle fantasy of being able to "go back then" with what we have now?
      We are certainly lucky to have what we do.
