Just shows you how durable those little tank switchers were even during the balloon-stack era. Hauled the modern freight car like it weighted nothing. Fantastic work by both the restorers and maintainers of that little switcher.
Me: Oh, that’s pretty cool. My brain: “And here we see the lone worker ant; venturing out to forage and bringing back a seed more than twice its size.”
Finally, a actual instance of someone using what are these engines from over a century old in a practical way, and not only that but really opening her up instead of staying at like 15 or 20 miles per hour the whole time.
@@badwolf2331 wouldn't doubt it, I don't see her working very hard in the video. Then again, it's a Forney commuter engine that worked for a lumber company for the longest time, so who knows.
Boy! She's hauling that "rack" like it's hardly there! She's so small that she nearly dissappears against that "rack." A real little gem with a big locomotive will! ❤😂🎉
Steam engines are surprisingly powerful, more powerful than a diesel locomotive! There are still a few places where a steam engine will assist diesel locomotives getting a train over a hill above Timberline! A machine shop in the 1850s ran off one boiler and a lot of belts!!
Hate to break it to you, but this is simply not true. You can design any diesel locomotive to get to the same parameters of a steam locomotive, and also much better. The big downside to steam traction is the intermittent nature of the power delivery of the oscillating steam engine, meaning that it's much harder to prevent it from breaking traction at standstill.
@@mfbfreakso then, why did they have to develop anti slip devices for diesel electric locomotives? All the earlier diesel electric locomotives were prone to wheelspin when hauling heavy loads, even at high speeds.
Oh yeah, what a tiny loco compared to that car. But I hear stories like that in Germany quite often, there is even something called "Plandampf" which means "planned steam". Thats always a win-win because steam engines get a meaningful job to do and at the same time they (well, their owners) get paid for it - which they can invest into repair and maintenance.
Great video! little engine pulls a good load! I also LOVE that upper dark green door on the 2nd floor that has no stairs going up to them From what i heard IS FOR the people who got FIRED would have been pushed out from onto the walk way.
Interesting, she’s hauling a auto rack and if loaded it’s full of automobiles, kind of ironic as it was the automobiles and trucking industry that destroyed our rail transport infrastructure and led to this engines eventual retirement I’d say demise but it survived, probably by diesel first, which was only a temporary fix to the injury inflicted by the interstate highways and motor vehicles.
1 autorack? Lets see it, do oh say 50 loaded with vehicles! Then I'll be impressed! I bet that one was empty too! I bet with some help at the start, it probably would pull it, but not from a dead stop no way!
Never anything like an American 0-4-4 before. It's a bit like LBSCR N2 0-4-4. Nick loco pulling an autorack car. Not like those ugly Azuma's. Nice vids

This comment is underrated 😂

Hahaha best comment.
I won’t lol! Rivet counters are soooooo annoying 😂
Exactly

give this ol' steamer some credit!
This steam train is the definition of the phrase, "age does not matter." 😊
That autorack is easily twice the height of the engine pulling it. Nice.
this is a real David vs Goliath situation with size comparison between the loco and the car
This is the definition of (little engines can do big things)
The exhaustion from the steam breathing.
I think that's the maximum capacity for that little one.
To be fair she was probably designed for switching coaches
@@jasongoodman3495 nope, logging. Even then, most switchers did have a lot of power, since all their weight is on the drivers.
listen to it, the engineer was barely on the throttle
@@cowcatcherstudios5759so theoretically it would be able to pull a LOT more?
@@badwolf2331 wouldn't doubt it, I don't see her working very hard in the video. Then again, it's a Forney commuter engine that worked for a lumber company for the longest time, so who knows.
Boy! For a steam locomotive 🚂 that old 🧓, it sure can pull twice its weight! Ingenious!
So happy for him! Little dude putting in work!
I love it when they combine the old and New methods. :D
Man this is so much fun to watch, the height difference is mind-boggling!! Thanks very much for sharing 🔥
Gives a new meaning to the little engine that could.
A very well maintained small locomotive. Good video!
There's life in the old girl yet! Even though I assume the rolling stock is empty.
A little info about the engine would be appreciated.
Boy! She's hauling that "rack" like it's hardly there! She's so small that she nearly dissappears against that "rack." A real little gem with a big locomotive will! ❤😂🎉
Who would have thought you can move Freight with a few sticks of firewood. Rolling through a landscape of renewable energy😅
This is one of the coolest and cutest things I've seen in a while on CZcams ☺️
It’s like the little engine that could in real life
Is it weird that I was cheering that little engine on? Talk about David and Goliath!
“No welding on doors.” Doesn’t say anything about soot.
Better living through roller bearings. 😂
You could put 8 of those engines on that autorack
The little train that did.
Super, almost like a model railroad. 💙 T.E.N.
Great video Ashton, well done!
0:48 The dichotomy here is so overwhelming….
I know I can, I know i can.......

If people criticize me for putting a USRA 0-8-0 on an intermodal service in Trainz, I'm showing them this.
awesome decoder sounds so real great scenery work
Little engines can do big things they said.
Look it goo. This shows age doesn't matter for the power of steam!
I can’t help but laugh every time I watch this, it’s so ridiculous
But it works! :-)
That old engine looks tiny next to that railcar.
This is just TOO cool! Thanks for posting. 😀

I’d love to see the big boy hauling real freight again but this is a good thing too
Where is this?
What a sweetheart!
Just Like UP 119 Could Do If Rebuilt Back In Service!
Little engines can do big things!
Now I wonder if 118 years ago they had cars covered with urban graffiti like you see here
Thats cute!
Amazing! Wood fired loco too!
what a strong cutie
Bros getting a workout 😂
BOCK lumber co, manufactured by Baldwin in 1908, it weighs 16 tonnes
That Very COOL
Imagine what that autorack is gonna tell his buddies!!😂😎
The little engine that could
Awesome👍

Where and why? Nice to see the engine at work. I am guessing the auto rack was pulled out of service for repair, and repositioned on the mainline.
Give that engine so help. Where the Union Pacific big boy when you need it
is this a revenue run?
Beautifully restored engine. Where is this?
Small but mighty 😊
Bloody amazing 👏
Casey Jr comes down the track comes down the track Is a little song
amazing!!!!
Back to the future!
Yo another train fan named Ashton? No way
1 autorack? Lets see it, do oh say 50 loaded with vehicles! Then I'll be impressed! I bet that one was empty too! I bet with some help at the start, it probably would pull it, but not from a dead stop no way!
Who'd they steal the autorack from? 😂
Now make it pull a intermodal train
Was this car fully loaded?? 😮
No, you can see right through it.
I believe it was empty!
Tricked-out semi truck.
Crazy 😮
Was this revenue service?!
Nothing wrong with that 👌
Man they always do the cool a shit when I’m off on another railroad 😂
Uh I think ur in the wrong century
Now try 2

oh ok thanks.
I’m pretty sure it’s the St. Marys RR
I wouldn’t call one railcar a proper freight movement…
I like how i hop back onto CZcams and this is the cursed shit I find, lol. Not really, this is pretty cool.
It's not the size that matters it's how u use it
Where is this?
