- Here is a rare perspective of the iconic Engine #90 courtesy of Christopher Pollock's Go-Pro!
While she may be the youngest steam locomotive on the roster, she is the largest, and to some, she reigns as the grande dame of Strasburg’s fleet of steam locomotives. Built in June of 1924 for the Great Western Railroad by Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, No. 90 is one of just two operational Decapod class (2-10-0 wheel configuration) locomotives remaining in America! After spending 40 years of hauling commodities-primarily sugar beets-through the mountains of northern Colorado, she was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road in 1967 for a grand total of just $23,000. As soon as No. 90 arrived in Strasburg over 50 years ago, she instantly became a fan favorite and remains so even today.

Strasburg railroad the best railroad I have ever seen
Would love to see an in-depth steam up/cab tour on #90 - a sort of behind the scenes look at what is required to maintain and operate this legend.
Very cool to see a cab ride finally happen on that railroad
My friend was treated to a jump seat cab ride last October for his 72nd birthday it cost $100 . Best present he ever got.
I'd literally give anything in the world just for me to drive this breath-taking steam engine
They are doing in cab experiences for this engine. Plan on doing it myself
you can setup a time on there website to drive it and fire the boiler
We need more like this at least once a week!!! :)
Pretty cool to see myself in a video by Strasburg themselves!
Awesome! I hope to ride the rails to paradise again as soon as possible!
This is really amazing! It’s so cool to see this perspective of the engine! Great video!
Awesome video I was filming from j tower
There goes the trainmaster's brother!! 😉
Yo I was in the video that's the 11:00 train coming in on opening day. I was filming at the crossing where the locomotive sheds are. if you look to the bottom right you'll see me filming with my phone and my camera Strasburg railroad I can send the video of 90 going by I also have the video up on Instagram
You will see me at two minutes and three seconds just look at the bottom right and you'll see me all bundled up and filming
Pls do 611 she's my favorite locomotive pls😢
How were you able to get a cab ride?
This video was shot by a Go-Pro placed in the cab of engine #90!
@@StrasburgRailRoadPA ok
@@StrasburgRailRoadPAI hope we see this view with 475 and 89 in the future, and this is a very Awesome video with the cab of 90 so I enjoyed this video a lot.
How does the bell keep ringing by itself like that? You can see it swing so it doesn’t have an automated clapper.
It's got an air-powered rocker (sometimes called bobber) that swings the bell back and forth.
I wanna know something. How come when the engineer puts the brake on he puts the sander on? Is that what he pushes on the second knob?
That's the engine brake. He is "bailing" the engine brake to prevent it from coming on. This way the weight of the locomotive keeps the train slack out and gives the passengers a smoother ride.
@@joelmarksbury4376 the other reason is because the locomotive brakes apply quicker than the cars. Rather than getting shoved and potentially causing a derailment (if the tonnage is too heavy), they bail.
2:54, why was the whistle blown there?
somebody was too close to the tracks. You can see them looking at the front of the engine
like, the people in the cab
@@trains4life16 oh ok thanks!
Maybe it was to entertain the crowd? I wasn't there so that's my best guess
