Tweetsie Railroad Heritage Weekend 2024: The Yukon Queen Puts on a Show
Thank you to the staff at Tweetsie for putting together an absolute blast of a railfanning event! I had an absolute blast hanging out with fellow train buffs and filming the beautiful locomotives of Blowing Rock. Special thanks to @BlueRidgeProductions190 for helping me with some of my camera work and for being a joy to hang around. Love you buddy! Some of you may also notice that Locomotive No. 12 was on static display this year along with Coach No. 5. Tweetsie originally planned to have 12 run a special train dressed up in her Shenandoah Central Railroad lettering, which was the excursion 12 originally ran before coming to Tweetsie. However, shortly before the event, it was discovered that the engine had some major deterioration in her firebox that would require some major restorative work, putting her out of commission for the rest of the season. Despite this issues, the staff still managed to put on quite a show, using Locomotive No. 190 to handle the day’s runs as well as the photo special.

On November 18, I got my first true train-chasing experience when I traveled to Saint Paul to chase the CSX Santa Train! While not my best video, it was an incredible learning experience and I had a great time filming with fellow rail fans. Also, thank you to the kind individual who allowed me to set up my camera in the bed of his truck at 6:13. I would have missed that shot had he not given me...

On Saturday, July 22nd, my family and I traveled to West Virginia to visit the Cass Scenic Railroad for the first time. While I struggled a bit to film the trains as I didn’t know their schedule, it was still an incredible experience and I hope to go back very soon. Enjoy the video!

    • @landonspain193
      @landonspain193 Рік тому

      Due to 12's small driving wheels, she produces more torque and tractive effort. Therefore, she is better suited to push Thomas and pull the excursion train. 190, on the other hand, was built quickly for the war effort and is lightweight, which causes her to wheelslip often.

    • @landonspain193
      @landonspain193 Рік тому

      No, Tweetsie is a 3 foot gauge railroad. Edaville is 2 foot gauge. The organization that runs Day Out With Thomas has several different Thomas wagons in many different gauges. Edaville gets the 2 foot gauge one, and Tweetsie gets the 3 foot one. They also have Thomas in standard gauge, which is 4 ft 8 1/2 inches. Thanks for the question and thank you for watching!
