Sibley Model A chases Old STEAM LOCOMOTIVE ( Part 2) Iowa USA

Make sure to Watch Part 1 first. www.youtube.com This is Part 2. American Locomotive Company’s Largest Operating Steam Locomotive passed through Sibley Iowa today. “Challenger” (No.3985) is on a 1750 mile, 5 state tour that will end back in St. Paul Minnesota, where it began 16 days ago. It was built in 1943, and it was an amazing machine to watch, as you will see in this video. Here is the link for the Specs and history. www.uprr.com Part 1 shows the 1931 Ike’s Ford Model A and the Locomotive and train from a different perspective, so be sure to watch. This video was shot by Ike Adreon, driving the “1931 Ford Model A cam.” We felt like we were in the old days of Bonnie and Clyde or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. It was exciting and we hope you enjoy this wild ride with Ike in the Model A. One of the neatest websites from Union Pacific is this one on how the Big Boy engines work with a virtual steam locomotive in action. It’s very neat to visit this. www.geocities.com Please subscribe and pass on this video to any train buffs you may know. Thank you for watching.

India: Running out of Steam (part 5 – Final) – Death of the main line steam & the lone survivor

These are excerpts from National Geographic’s “The Great Indian Railway”(1995), probably the best documentary ever on the Indian Railways. As a young boy, I used to travel to Grandma’s place by the Howrah Mail from Madras. In 1989, on one such trip, My dad pointed out to a gigantic engine puffing smoke in the shed at Madras central as our train was leaving and said: “Manu, look, that’s a steam engine”. I forgot about steam engines later. In 1999(10 years later), I watched the National Geographic’s special screening of this documentary on TV. I remembered my encounter with the puffing beasts in 1989. I couldn’t stop crying by the end of this documentary. Starting in the early 80′s the Steam engines of the Indian Railways have been slowly phased out of all the main lines in favor of Electric and Diesel locomotives due to economic pressures. By the turn of the 90′s, it had become a rare sight to see a Steam-driven train. You can buy the DVD or VHS of this 115 minute documentary on nationalgeographic.com. It costs $15 including US local postage.

Steam in Guatemala part 2 of 2

An all day steam hauled trip from El Rancho to Guatemala City in Guatemala. The line is operated by the Railway Development Corporation (RDC), and at the time of the visit, they ran one freight train a day from the Atlantic Coast to Guatemala City. On 4th September 2007, Ferrovías Guatemala ran its last revenue freight train over this line, thus suspending all services. Is this the end for this three-foot-gauge railway? Part of a short trip to Guatemala in February 2006.

Hi all, Here is PART TWO of TWO of the video documenting the Sutherland Steam Railway’s fantastic 2010 WINTER STEAM GALA which ran from February 19th-21st. The gala ran 3 weeks late due to the seriously bad weather experienced over the last few weeks. (Points had been frozen, rails had been buried, wires had been damaged etc).
