Steam Returns to Western NY: Fall Foliage with Arcade & Attica #18
It's a sunny October 19th, 2024 as Arcade & Attica ALCO 2-8-0 consolidation #18 takes leaf peepers on a scenic journey along the Arcade & Attica Railroad. After being overhauled the last seven years, #18 made its grand debut back into service in September 2024. In this video, we will follow the #18 as it departs the shops, hooks onto its train, and takes the 11AM fall foliage trip from Arcade, NY to Curriers, NY. To conclude our coverage, we will watch #18 struggle to get the sold-out train moving out of Curriers on the return trip, putting on a fantastic show for the cameras.

Great Footage of 18!
@@buffaloarearailfan9928 Thank You!
Great day for a train ride!
Great operations video! Glad to see these short lines alive and kicking. Even with the latest new tech locomotives, you can beat the “ rugged character” of these Alcos in a perfectly matched paint job!
What is that sound @18:39
Probably, the wheel flanges squeaking going around the curved leg of the switch .
During WW2 and the early 1950's the W&P used to see 40 trains a day between Pittsburgh and Wheeling. It was down to two trains each way plus local industrial switcher run in the mid 1980's when CSX decided to abandon it west of Washington PA. The decline of the W&P is a classic example of the decline of industry in the Pittsburgh region. 😔
i want to make one of those switch houses my home... there are a few of them in my city,,, i'd be very happy to make a one room house out of it. serve coffee perhaps lol make some home made apple pie, as i do. it's the best lol
I love the banter between engineer and brakeman at about 35:00-38:00. Cool to see them having fun for a small photo/video op next to the station. It looked real nice, made me feel like I was in 1950 and see it in real time.
It was definitely a great time!
Love the horn echo. Any is a good day when you can catch an alco.
Roman said "Nice train Mr. MEAT WHISTLE!"
What about mr pipe whistle?
I know rain sucks while trying to film and photograph, but I applaud you for staying out in it! The shots where it is really dark and coming down just (for me) really make it timeless. Thank you for sharing with us!
Gotta love'em. It's not easy being an ALCOholic.
Great video, thanks to all who made that day possible. Having been there, I highly recommend that you visit this fine operating museum.
That’s just a unique ALCO sound. It brings back fond memories of the RS1 that we had on the New Hope & Ivyland back in the 1970’s.
Great mix!!❤️👍🏻🚂( Talk, Talk…👌🏻❤️) & those old GE gondola cab❤️❤️
Great video well done!
it's good to see LA&L 72 return into operation condition once again, probably the first time seeing the Alco S-2 in action ever since it was retired back in 2021, and then being part of the RGVM. oh and nice job on the video. 🙂👍
LA&L #72 returns. She runs on her own power once more since she was donated in November 2023. WB to operation LA&L #72. She's a nice diesel electric locomotive.
Great Video!
Thanks!
Great video as always. Wish I could be there
My special needs son loves trains 🚆🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋🛤 especially Alco's like those 2!
I’m so glad he enjoys these videos! I should hopefully have more content posted here in the coming weeks.
@@BessemerLakeErie902 Well thank you for your reply we appreciate it God bless you 🙏🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋🛤 John 3:16
I just wanna say but they have been running the Bessemer 862 very often now I saw yesterday twice.
I will never see those IC SD70s. Only started railfanning the Bessemer Sub June 9, 2023
Can use some footage from this video for a documentary about BLE 878 I'm working on? (With credit of course)
Yes, as long as you provide credit you are welcome to use it.
@@BessemerLakeErie902 thanks it's very much appreciated
Yea awsome catch catching this race of these 2 trains
Railfan since the nickel plate days especially love the short line videos
Nicely done! Really enjoyed this vid!!!
How come they are not using that GE loco--- the Alco sounds tired, might need some work.
Love those shots of WNYP on that Horseshoe shaped bridge in Oil City. I haven’t seen any videos of that until now. I was hoping they would work that customer when I chased back in April but they didn’t that day.
Gotta love it Alec! Glad I could have been with you for the Virginia Trip! Great job editing & looking forward to the Big Sandy Next summer!
I appreciate you including me in so many of your adventures!
Love, the WNYP, videos and Bessemer
Been looking forward to this! 😎
Excellent Video and Catches! Incredible job with the editing and music!
Thank You!
Amazing Video to sum up 2023's catches Alec! The editing and flow of the video is incredible
Thank You! That’s the goal! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

You must be a riot at parties.

Thumbs down for your hella cringe comment!
Wow, a first?
Awesome Recap Alec! A lot of cool catches for 2023!
Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Here’s to many more adventures together!
I see there's a depot in CC, NY! Is there any information about the RR in CC? That I can read online.
Good job driving in the beginning, off the road, right before the train moves.
I thought that was a rash move on the driver’s part, so I made sure to include it in the video.
he,he, driver screwed up the suspension.😆
This is so awesome
Great video...
1:48 Beavis
I like the vehicle in the beginning that drives around the locomotive even off the street 😅
Thumbs up! Love the little bridges! Have a great new week! ✔✔
Train on the diamond sounds like drums... perfect rhythm
Film a railroad crossing tour of Cross Road, Avoca, NY. WARNING! Dead End. If there is a train coming and it's very long, wait for the train to pass.
Great catches excellent chase and nice video
