50 Years Strong on the TSRR - Tremont & Gulf 30
For 50 years Tremont & Gulf No. 30 has served the Texas State Railroad, and in honor of this occasion, she’s been painted into her original livery. She’s become a staple of Texas steam, although she wasn’t ever intended for Texas rails, and a major icon of railroading preservation. In this video, I go out to railfan No. 30 during this special event. I hope y’all enjoy!
(Apologies for bad audio/clips, my camera decided it was a good day to die!)

T&P 524: The Snuff Dipper
Переглядів 33 тис.8 місяців тому
Hello everyone, I’ve returned to YT with a brand new short documentary! This specific video covers a not very well known experimental engine that ran on the T&P. In this video, I’ll give a brief explanation of the engine and its history. Anyways, if you enjoyed the video please feel free to checkout my other stuff! (Apologies for the bad audio, my mic was going out on me!) Extra Info/History: I...
T&P Documentary: The Fallen Star Of Texas
Переглядів 26 тис.Рік тому
Hello everyone JC here, it’s finally time to watch the documentary I promised a bit ago! A lot of events had to be unfortunately cut, I had to make it a more simple historical overview. Sorry if something you believe should’ve been there wasn’t. I didn’t really realize how rich the T&Ps history was, lol. (I would also like to mention the T&P connections to San Diego, it just never reached it by...
Great video and very nicely done.
This was really good! Thank you for the history. I never knew that about the Texas coal and trials. Not a complaint, but the music was a little loud. As I say, I wouldn't take any points away for that! Great job, and thank you!
Awesome, just learned something new - thanks!
Wow, this the first I have heard of it. Very interesting, and would be neat to model. Thanks for posting.
Pretty interesting. But i have a couple of corrections: It's 50¢ not ¢50 The fan in the stack extracts not extrudes the combustion gases.
Honestly, I don’t think my usage of the word “extrude” was really wrong. The word means “to be forced out,” and the gases were forced out due to the fans pulling them out. But I really should have used extract. With that being said, I do appreciate your comment. Helps me rethink my word usage.
Great documentary. Shame you didn't partner it up with the Rosebud grate - that solved the problem!
Well done! Thank you.
Fascinating. Many experiments were done by railroad mechanical departments so this isn’t a surprise. Thank you for keeping this story alive.
Super. I read the story about the "Snuff Dipper and the Yellow Dog" in one of my train magazines decades ago. 💙 T.E.N.
Me too, TRAINS magazine, October 1972
thank you.
I am surprised that the railroad didn't attempt using the coal from their mine(s) at Strawn, TX, unless it was even of a poorer quality than that from the mines in East Texas.
Very interesting. Thank you.
When at 2:13, you say "...blowing into the smokebox,"' you should have said "firebox." Lignite-burning locomotives for foreign lines had huge oversized fireboxes. There were regulations/union rules about how big grate areas could be for hand-fired locomotives (50 square feet was a common limit), meaning lignite-burners almost had to have mechanical stokers for a useful-sized locomotive.
I never realized I said “smokebox.” I’m surprised I actually let that slip by.
NP--that's indicative of why writers need editors.@@jcstrainsandthings
I wish more T&P steam locomotives were preserved
Nice use of railroad tycoon 3 music brought back a lot of memories playing that game.
It would be good if there was no music apart from that love it
Nowt wrong wi't music - it's JELLY ROLL MORTON, one o' the REAL jazz greats and vastly superior to ANYONE in the modern world of 'pop'
@@AlanBond-d7e There is plenty that is wrong with music when it comes to documentaries. It makes hearing the narrators voice that much harder to hear. This is also a major problem with far too many contemporary films. As one gets older, and our hearing gets worse, the problem increases. I find it very hard to listen to films made today, but films made in the 70s or earlier, are very much easier to listen to, due to the lack of excessive music. I do not understand this modern need for unwarrented music today. If anything, in the 21st century, speech should be much clearer and easier to hear.
Oil firing yuk!
I wish Texas and Pacific 524 was preserved
What about Engine #5 that is in Snyder Texas that is lift of it SOB turned down the train depo AS HOLES.
Brass modelers: 👁️👄👁️❤️👄❤️
Nicely researched and presented!👍
5:55 wait a second, *is that a Missouri Kansas Texas railroad J class 2-6-0 mogul??* where is that footage from?? I've yet to see more or any videos of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad's steam locomotives in color
It is indeed, the clip came from the video “Steam Shorts by: H. K. Vollrath Rare Color.” On Neil Dahl’s channel.
😍😍😍😍
Great to see another video from this channel! It's nice to see some more documentaries on these lesser known oddities, that were only recently rediscovered online. Thanks for going in depth about this experimental engine!
The music was too loud to hear all the narration.
I had heard of numerous other ways of railroads trying to burn lignite but somehow missed this one. Cool video, thanks much!
I’m already in love with this channel. For starters, this is insanely underrated. Like the quality and editing is amazing! I have a small love for Texas railroads but this is something else! Hell I already peaked my interests into learning more and got giddy when I heard railroad tycoon 3 music at the 2:15 mark. You’re off to a great start, and I can’t wait to see more!
LOSE the music so you can hear the narration!!!!!!!
Sorry about that! I had the same issue with my last video, thought I fixed it! Thanks for watching.
I agree; we're here to listen to information about trains, not listen to music.
I'd heard the nickname, but had no idea of its origin. Thanks for this, an interesting little film, and particularly for those lovely 'roarin' runbys'. I may be be wrong, but think a couple of other railways in different countries also experimented with powdered lignite (Germany comes to mind), but with similar results.
What an unfortunate name for interesting piece of equipment
I love the narrator's voice and the fact he did so well on the research on the topic, definitely subscribing❤❤
Funny enough, this is how modern coal fire power stations work. Little forgotten engine was for a time the most modern machine in the world.
this has the same energy as the droop snoot
You mean the snoot that droops? 😂
Yes, the snoot would droop. It was a droop. Snoot.
EMD SD40 & SD40T-2 Tunnel Motors can have different pooches and snoots depending on which nose they apply to them. 💙 T.E.N.
Great video of the Amtrak Operation Lifesaver P42DC on the Texas Eagle.
Union Pacific now operates on former T&P Mainline Trackage.
One time sporting Diamond Heralds.Later replaced by Buzzsaw Heralds.
Now history since 10/15/1976 & merged into MP.Later Union Pacific.
St.Louis Brownsville & Mexico(Gulf Coast Lines) is much more meaningful for me but the T&P was the golden boy for Texas railroads classic
Well done! Thank you. Fun seeing scenes from Buster Keaton's film. Give him credit?
My grandfather was a brakeman on the T&P out of Marshall, Texas, back in the 1920s and 1930s. I recall watching with my grandfather when the last steam locomotive on the T&P stopped at the station in Waskom, Texas (east of of Marshall) back in the early 1950s. Good old times, now just a memory for old guys like me.
I wish we still had passenger trains where I live. I remember putting granny on a train to Missouri. When they stopped, one of us had to driver her there every year. It was more expensive and granny thought the train was better. I never got to ride one. ☹ we lost something good when that happened.
😊😊❤❤❤❤
Texas & Pacific rr had an impressive steam roster, I am pleased that 2-10-4 engine 610 still exists but I also wish that the T&P would have preserved one example of their 900 class 4-8-2 types as well as a mikado type. It's a true shame that a certain percentage of popular steam engine classes from various railroads have all been scrapped with no surviving examples from past era railroading.
I live in the old T&P station in downtown Fort Worth. It was converted into condos. Such a cool old building.
T&P is a gem! This documentary is very well put together. Regarding 316, there are plans to return her to service in the future.
Anyone ever heard the Louis Jordan song "Texas and Pacific"? Its about this railway and its pretty catchy Edit: its totally in the video lol
You can still catch a train from the Fort Worth station. 🤠👍
I forgot to mention that it reopened, lol. Thanks for pointing that out.
You should look at the Waco, Beaumont, Trinity and Sabine railway. It didn't go to Waco. It never went to Beaumont. It also never crossed the Trinity or Sabine rivers. Locals called it the Wobbly, Bobbely, Turnover and Stop.
That reminds me of another Texas short line RR I read about many years ago - the Houston East & West Texas. It was known as "Hell Either Way you Take it" by locals.
I was instrumental in getting the T&P dome 200 saved out of Dodge City Kansas. It was sitting forlornly behind the station there and I arranged a sale to John Clark. I also provided a replacement air reservoir, a coupler and a vestibule door for it as well. Great video and helpful history. The T&P may be gone but a lot of it is still with us if you know where to look or who to ask. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
