Black River & Western #60: New Jersey's Oldest Steam Locomotive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The Black River and Western Railroad was founded around 1950 by a man named William Whitehead, out of portions of a defunct railroad, the Rockaway Valley Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Construction to Connect to ex-CNJ rails began, but with the construction of Interstate I-80, The Railroad became Rail Locked. It was officially incorporated in 1961 as the Black River and Western Railroad. The Railroad acquired equipment from many railroads, including the Central Railroad of New Jersey, The Pennsylvania railroad, and New York Central Railroad (which is better than PRR tehe) just to name a few. The Shoreline freight operates all the way from the ex-CNJ stations of Three Bridges to Lambert, but the tourist trains operate from Flemington to Ringoes. Their Steam Locomotive, Great Western #60, was built in 1937 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCo) in Schenectady NY. On the GW, she hauled sugar beet and molasses trains, and during WWII, her smokebox was elongated in order to burn coal of worse quality. In 1965, she was purchased by the BR&W and she ran her first excursion for the BR&W on May 17, 1965. In 2012, a 12 year overhaul was completed to celebrate her 75th birthday snd has been run-in ever since. In 2018, her smokebox was painted graphite alluding to her appearance in WWII. In this video, we follow Locomotive #60 From Flemington to Ringoes, as she pulls Autumn Pumpkin Trains. Equipped with a Crosby 3 chime, #60 puts on a great show at each crossing through the day on September 30 2018.

Awesome video man! I'm railfanning the Black River & Western and the New Hope & Ivyland in December for the Christmas Trains!
Thanks! I should come railfan the NH&I In December with ya! I was planning on Chasing the 425 Santa trains but if we can make it to the NH&I the same time as you i glad come!
That sounds great! The plan right now is we'll be at Northlandz on Friday, November 30th, then we'll chase the BR&W on Saturday December 1st, and on Sunday December 2nd we'll chase the NH&I.
Awesome! Ill try to meet ya out there for Saturday and Sunday, I have to see what time i have
Cool! We can talk more about it. Do you have a phone/Snapchat?
I do if u wanna talk
If you wanna add me on snap let me know ill tell u my username
Great whistle!! Too bad the other 3 chime is gone. The one that was in 1991-92
I agree, not that the current whistle is bad, i think its just time for a change, Its had that Crosby since the completion of her last 1472
Would love to see a 60/142 doubleheader excursion in the future.
Awesome man! It’s nice to see you posting more! :)
Yep thanks, I havent had time to be as active on youtube because of school, I get overloaded with work
Train Chamber Yeah me too, you got I nice whistle and bell audio, do you think could use that audio to make a whistle for Trainz? :)
By all means!! Her Crosby 3 chime is one of the best whistles ive heard
Awesome! Thanks Man!! I will try to make an echo for it, using your reverb strategy. :)
By the way im going to make a Black River & Western set of coaches BR&W #60 & BR&W 60 In its CNJ Scheme! What do you think? :)
When we see 142 I call making a video saying New Jersey’s NEWEST steamer hehehe
minot sure if its the newest tho lol. Theres probably a live steamer thats newer
Train Chamber maybe, but actual size it’s the newest
The number 60 is not actually the oldest in New Jersey. It may be the oldest running but it’s not the oldest. How oldest one New Jersey that I know of is The lady Edith at the Pine Creek Railroad I believe it was built in 1893
You are correct, But i mean operational, which leaves only 60 and 142.
1. Sorry... Little late.
2. Just imagine if 90 went into her GW paint scheme and 60 and 90 doubleheaded? Just sayin.
3. Oooo 60fps!
4. I’ll have to head out there sometime. My sister lives near there sooooo....
5. I don’t know why, but my favorite part of the loco is the rear of the tender. Maybe it’s because its so crisp. Probably the light cover...
6. 5:02 Really like that shot! I’ll have to try one like that at Strasburg sometime.
7. 6:31 Watching the previous shot, I knew there’d be one!
8. 8:00 Oooo I can tell already that this is gonna be a good shot! The sound of the loco working up the grade 👌.
9: 8:53 an “S” curve shot! Gotta be one of my favorite shots to see and film!
10: 9:40 “Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug Chug Chug ChugChugChugChug” Mmmmmm, yus.
11. 11:59 So much stuff! I rarely see shots like this.
12. 13:12 Nice blow-off action there!
13. 17:21 Really liked the previous shots, but this one... Beautiful!
14. 18:17 A run-over-by?
15. 20:11 You’re welcome :)
Nice job with the new camera! Just curious, what is it?
1. Thats fine
2. I would totally be there, that sounds awesome
3. yee testing a new camera
4. Let me know if you're around, this is one of the closet steam RRs to me
5. I like the rear of the tender as well because it reminds me of how you improvise when there is no space to turn around a train
6. I know they have a bridge i just dont know how to get there
7. Lol I really like these unique angles
8. That is the best spot on the line
9. ^
10. CHUGCHUCHUCGSCHUCUH (idk what i did)
11. They have more equipment then i thought when i showed up that morning
12. I didnt even know he was gonna do that! caught it by surprise
13. Just an amazing shot of the engine coming down a straight track... beautiful
14. idk i like to try different angles
15. Thanks! And your comment was awesome!
Train Chamber Ye.
Would it be awesome if 60 reunites with 90 in the future?
I hope everyone likes the video, Im testing a new camera, feel free to tell me what you think

TRAINMAN K “it is a knew camera but I no I’m wrong. I New I made a mistake. Know worries” lol
@@KurtisHooey Hush
Do you have a private contact I can reach you at? I'd like know if you would be able to burn a DVD of this video for me; I'd gladly pay you for your troubles.
I wish I could go out and railfan for most of the time but i can't Unfortunately
Railfanning is pretty difficult especially when you are busy, I've never rail fanned until this year
Cool
