In other Valley Railroad related news, I recently read that a Frisco 2-8-2 previously acquired by the Valley Railroad has been sold to the Aberdeen, Carolina, & Western, due to being too heavy for the Valley's track. It is presently stored in Candor, NC. I don't know what the AC&W has in store for it, but *if* it should be restored and run on the AC&W mainline, it would be ironic, as the original Norfolk Southern owned the smallest 2-8-4 Berkshires ever used in the US, which ran on the line segment currently owned by the Aberdeen, Carolina & Western, but, to my knowledge, the original N-S never owned any 2-8-2s.
Also some more news, the TRPA is looking for volunteers to help them on Feb 8th and 15th to get Southern Pacific 982 ready to move to its new restoration site.
Can't wait to see them return to operation.
I heard fund raising for 734's restoration has begun.
It already began a while ago.
I love this one
Great video of this pulling out
Don’t forget the NCTM’s annual live steam show is coming back once again in March!!!
NASA 2 is a former TP&W unit. It was sold to NASA just before the ATSF takeover.
You forgot about the Mid-Continent Railroad Museum is getting ready to transport CNW 1385 back to the museum property for the final half of the restoration.
@@railfanjordan8141 Got it!
i just donated a 100$ to the mid continent to help with transporting 1385 back to the museum
@MichaelEdMrozek Thank you so much for your generous support! I’ll make sure to feature it in next week’s episode, so more people will hear about it and donate to it!
Shay 7 is the highlight for this week. Shays and Williamettes are my favorite logging locomotives.
That would be csx SD70MAC 4507
Good morning railfans I saw the Jane Marie last weekend we need your help to raise the money to buy the car
we have merch on bonfire and spring with updated stuff on bonfire
I would also like to note that Pennsylvania Railroad T-1 number 5550 is over halfway complete as of January 2025
Hell yeah that’s exciting
I can't WAIT to see her back on the rails again!!!!
@@antonbruce1241 if you had a home layout, and so long as you have the proper radius curves, you could see it whenever you wished. Ever considered getting into model trains?
@@ironhorsehistorian9871 Yes, I have my own layout. I've been into model railroading since I was 12 - I'm now 67. I have mostly older Athearn, Roundhouse, Tyco locos, with a few others. And I have rolling stock out the wazoo...including a fully interiored nine-unit passenger consist, with LED lighting and voltage regulation and battery power supply. She's a thing to see. I do currently have an older Bowser T-1 which I picked up as basically scrap, and once I find the time, I'm going to refurbish it to get it back on the rails. it needs both mechanical and electrical work. And I've checked the radii of the curves on my layout, and they'll work with the T-1, once I get her going again. I wonder if Bower still sells replacement parts for this old beast. I just haven't decided yet whether I want to paint her in her prototype Pensy scheme, or whether I want to paint her and decal her for my railroad, The Quail Valley Railroad. Once I DO get her going (and going well), I plan of creating a short video of her running on the layout and posting it on UA-cam.
Very cool a Silverliner II is heading to preservation. But all I can think about today is 734 lol!
@@IvesGuy1118 Both of those announcements are awesome! Preservation keeps getting better!
I heard about it too! It’s my favorite locomotive Western Maryland operates!
@@kyletroknya2419 Agreed. While a mallet is impressive in its own right, there’s something majestic about Mountain Thunder.
Great video
Good morning
As a rail fan that follows social media closely, this is the easiest way to see all the info. Thanks for the video.
@@e10hotrods I’m very glad to keep you all informed!
More awesome news in the world of preservation! I wish the 3751 team. Good luck And I'll see if I can help out anyway I can those PTC systems are the future and they'll definitely help give steam locomotives more freedoms and privileges in the future And as well those safety demonstrations from Norfolk Southern Very interesting, although I'm not sure if this will mean they change their ways. Last time I heard there were still plenty of problems with the railway But all in good time 🙂🚂
Well that Mr Rainer and 3751 are great news for me as I’ll be going over there sometime! Awesome updates
UP steam chop tickets are already sold out :(
They are?!
@ they were when I went to buy some.
@ they are :(
A ton of interesting news. What will February 2025 hold for us
Hi soooooooo any ideas on where to get DVDs of west coast railroad? Like the WP?
I have found a lot of west coast railroad DVDs either on Amazon or RailfanDepot.
CSX #3194 pulling its own boxcar and caboose with its train too.
I once saw Kitchi Gammi club on the rear of the Maple Leaf.
A ton of goodies.
Wow nice video
Can't wait to see them return to operation.
1:04 YES HOLY COW I’M SOOO EXCITED 😊😊😊
