  • With a face only a mother could love, the Boston & Maine's 2-8-4 steam locomotives helped modernize the railroad's heavy drag freight operations, albeit with a few hitches. We'll examine the legacy, technical aspects, and the history of these imposing steam beasts.

    Other historical societies need to take note on when you’ve been doing, this is exactly what is needed to bring this history into the 21st century, excellent job as always! These, the 2-10-2’s, and the light Pacifics with the feedwater heaters were my favorite B&M locomotives

  • @Juxen4021

    UA-cam pushed this into my algorithm, and I believe your work here is criminally underrated. This is a perfect example of how to showcase various locomotive classes. Keep up the great work!

  • @Poisonturtle44

    Finally! A proper-length and in-depth discussion of my favourite class of Yank steamer. So much archival footage I've not found before... You've done me a great service. I don't care what anyone thinks - they're beautiful to me!

  • @TRAINBUILDER

    Great documentary 💯

  • @Thej611

    Leaving a comment to keep the algorithm happy. Keep making these! I’m loving them!

  • @remylopez4821

    Thank you very much for posting this. I live in southern California and was always a big fan of the southern pacific and the Santa Fe. I never knew they had LIMA 2-8-4s

  • @trainchugger53

    Love the Optigan music being used in the beginning! (and the Lackadaisy music at

  • @ethanmudgett7384

    Love locomotive history, nice to learn about local North-Eastern locomotives

  • @ThunderFox8093

    Found this in my UA-cam feed, and I am thankful for it, this is a great video

  • @327365hp

    One of my favorite locos.

  • @highball4203

    Another home run! Great video.

  • @CrossOfBayonne

    During WW2 these like many other locomotives were used to transport freight and military gear as loads became heavier.

  • @Shays_Shellac_Shelf

    I know that in 1929 and 1930, FOX Movietone did sound film of the B&M Berkshires at work around the Zoar Curve and at the Billerica Yards. Quite interesting film!

  • @comradecaelynproductions8440

    I love these kind of locomotive with their feedwater heaters covering the front

  • @0fficialdregs

    I love the coffin feed water heaters!

  • @nicom4996

    Men thank you for these amazing documentaries

  • @mwand89

    Since Boston and Maine's 2-8-4s have distinctive Coffin water heaters mounted to their smoke boxes, they would've been nicknamed "Horseshoe Heads".

  • @AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014

    I was never a fan of the T-1’s but am total fan of the one rebuilt by Santa Fe.

  • @BNSFGP38
