In this video, Penn Rail Video takes you on an exclusive tour of the Tweetsie Railroad through the eyes of the engineer! That's right, we'll be taking a ride in the cab of Steam Locomotive #12, known as "Tweetsie". Engineer Tim Smith works the throttle and brakes, and Tony Deal tends to the fire as we take a trip along the Tweetsie Railroad.

Cab ride of Tweetsie Railroad #12 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in February 1917).

Both steam locomotives are a credit to the Tweetsie system. Really well kept. The engineers respect them and run them with care. I enjoyed this video and would like to visit this operation some day. A good friend of mine, Dan Ranger, once worked on this railroad.

Sweet video Adam! Always like seeing cab-ride videos!

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

That’s good ol’ Tim smith as engineer there. He works at Dollywood now. One of my inspirations

[@Billycarjoy2009]

Yea now he works at Tweetsie again,

[@PennRailVideos]

@rgerhardtembarq It is. Earlier locomotives were built like this to save money. As years went on, they began to lean more towards crew accessibility and comfort, with the controls being smaller and simpler. A great comparison is the cab of #12 to the cab of #190.

Last Summer I got a cab ride in 190! It was pretty awesome but I was not allowed to take any video in the cab though

@rgerhardtembarq This is called an extended wagon top boiler, also known as a "shotgun" boiler.

But the cab looks very cluster-phobic.

You have to ask the engineers and it just depends on their discretion
