SOU 4501 (disguised as GM&O 4382) struggles and wheel slips at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
On September 7th, 2024 the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum had SOU 4501 dressed up as GM&O 4382 for their annual Founders Day event. As the 12:30pm trip departed the station the train was struggling to get going. Enjoy a minute and 25 seconds of the engine struggling to get going as they give it all the power they have while wheel slipping a few times and spewing out a lot of black smoke.

As many of you guys probably know a total solar eclipse crossed the country from Texas to Maine this past Monday. I viewed the eclipse in Berea, OH and got lucky with CSX M268 with an SD70MAC leading during totality. More details in timestamps below: 0:00 - Totality is about to begin. Birds chirp and the sky gets darker as the crowd watches in anticipation. 0:32 - Totality begins. Venus is visi...

*to skip right to wheel slip skip to 4:35. For more details and timestamps continue reading.* On Thursday April 27th, 2023 my dad and I were chasing WNYP’s Oil City turn south from Meadville. After making a brief pause to make sure traffic was stopped the train tried to get going but didn’t quite have enough power. The crew throttled up which resulted in one set of trucks on engine 430 to wheel...

    Nice, interesting video! Thank you. Get a tripod. Why did the train stop? Less traffic disruption if train maintainspeed, traffic stops earlier, and train gets out of everyone's way. Then less wheel slip. Wow. Morons actually damaged the rail?? Nice to have water fire distinguisher nearby.

      I have a tripod but don’t always use it when I’m chasing because getting it out and putting it away adds time, if I had known this was going to happen I absolutely would’ve used it. As for the stop the reason behind that is there aren’t any crossing lights, bells, or gates where he stops. Motorists can’t see the train until they’re almost on the crossing because of buildings along that street. The train stops to make sure the traffic lights for the road are red to stop traffic before proceeding.

    4:02 All honest god truth. It's look more masculine, tougher and stronger to have the front diesel facing in the direction as the rear. And the front diesel facing the same direction just secondary. 3:45

      Elm Street in Oil City, Pennsylvania. Right where the McDonald’s is. As for the train frequency it’s really low, when I went they ran once a week on Thursdays, however since I’ve gone WNY&P has since shut down one of their jobs out of Meadville. Since the Falconer, NY turn no longer runs out of Meadville this probably changed the schedule for Oil City so I don’t know how frequent it is now. They could run down there multiple days a week now but as for the days I have no clue, only thing I can tell you for sure is that they don’t run on weekends. I would suggest asking someone who railfans that part of Pennsylvania regularly, they might be able to tell you (I don’t live in Pennsylvania, I just happened to be in the area on a short vacation when I caught this). If you do manage to find out when they run down there they should be down there in the late morning/early afternoon if they don’t shuffle cars around for hours in Meadville before they depart.
