U.S. Sugar 148 - Florida Steam Train
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- U.S. Sugar 148, a former Florida East Coast 4-6-2 Pacific, was tasked with hauling train loads of passengers on board the blossoming Sugar Express tourist train out of Sebring and Lake Placid, Florida on February 24-26. The flat landscape allowed the train to run at track speed, something not often seen with steam excursion operations anymore. U.S. Sugar 148 put on quite a show for passengers and railfans alike. It’s a sweet ride.

The 148 does an impressive show at a speed of 45 mph with a lot of black smoke. For an oil burning Pacific, It sure is impressive Great video!
Thanks
I didn’t know that 148 can go that fast
@@brandonburnett5300 Pacifics are known to go very fast. They can go up to 70 mph. U.S Sugars track speed is 45 mph.
That dusk pacing shot at 7:31 is fantastic!
That is amazing! The railroad such a industrial revolution! ❤
Jason got fantastic footage of the 148. Nice video!
Thanks
It's so great to see a Pacific running at considerate speeds in the present!
148 is a great engine. Riding behind it on the 25th doing track speed was a real treat.
Sure looked cool
148 seems to be gaining popularity, and for good reason. She’s a great little pacific.
Agreed
Had an absolute blast on this trip, what a wonderful operation. Great video by Jason! Thanks for bringing me along!
Yeaaaaa
@@TheNoogaRailfan yeauh
Ok

Every time I watch a video of steam trains I get so nostalgic and I get a flashback from when I first watched it!
Fantastic steam locomotive the Pacific. An excellent video
Thanks
I’ll make the trip south from Pinellas this year. This looks like a fun time. Especially seeing her a track speed would be awesome.
The ending scene with the sunset backdrop is just sheer bliss!! ☺️
😢😢😢
I just bought tickets for this coming April. The Easter holiday special. I can't wait.
That loco sounds amazing in that first shot! Definitely thinking I need to check out down there. Great video guys!
Glad you enjoyed
I rode that train powered by 148 today very nice too.
Spectacular footage of the 148!
Thanks
US Sugar #148 ex Florida East Coast #148 is the primary steam locomotive of the Sugar Express until Atlantic Coast Line #1504 finishes restoration. The Sugar Express is a famous train. That's one neat catch.
Awesome job it was worth the time and travel to catch this locomotive
Certainly was
That sunset pacing shot deserves to be in a film set on a train! Magnificent!
Agreed
Cool video 😊
Thanks
Beautiful.
I Love I Love I Love That Steam Train
Me too
This is an awesome video in every way!!!!
Glad you enjoyed
Wonderful video like always! Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed
That is fast for a steam engine! Compered to what i watch...
Best UA-cam Video In The Universe
I'm liking the Crosby 3 they put on her
Super good video :)
Thanks
Spectacular!
Agreed
Fame Town USA, And I Love It A Lot
Amazing
This is the same engine that I rode behind for a 12-mile ride both ways and I went to Mr. Sandy's nearby and the train stayed in the station until the next group of people board for the same ride
Great engine, train and video! So glad to see a Pacific able to run like she should and not be relegated to a 5mph, weed-grown tourist operation. Anyone know the history of the cars?
Awesome
US Sugar #148 was a 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive
This is Why I Really ❤Every "AMERICAN" Steam Locomotives of the United States The Most ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really do not like the double-beam headlight. I'm pretty sure it's necessary for running on a mainline, but I hate the vertical setup they did. It should have been horizontal like the B&O had. It doesn't ruin 148 for me though, as I love that USSC lets her run at 40 mph. I can't wait for 1504 to be running alongside her.
Dual-beam headlight is used when they’re scheduled to run at night, as you can clearly see in this video.
@@DynamoProductions-trains Oh. Didn't know that, although it makes sense since the single-beam headlights are more for just allowing people to see you coming and not for seeing ahead of you. That's what cowcatchers were made for.
I hope I'm not completely wrong here, I got this information from a guy who works at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
Seems like they used 3 different whistles for 148, interesting! USSC 505 only recently got repainted as well!
Two whistles - supposedly, the first one featured had a malfunction, so the railroad quickly brought in the whistle it wore when released from the shop as an emergency.

0:41 what’s the whistle?
that whistle squeek at 6:11
That is the loudest squeak i heard
I took one look at her Headlight and was immediately like: "WTF???"
Next time and please make sugar express #148 pulls all the passenger cars on a round trip? because that will be great!
Compared to what?
Compared to 6 of them now!
That’s why we will see 6 of the sugar express passenger cars in the future!
How many cars is “all”?
Actually there were 6 or all of them
Where was that pacing stretch at the end of the video and where was that curve at 5:30? I’ll be down there to see 148 in June!
Question: Why do I keep seeing baggage cars in the middle of trains. I always thought that they belonged at the front of the train, but I keep seeing them elsewhere on the train. I even see pictures of steam excursions from the 1940s and 1950s of baggage cars in the middle or not at the front of trains. Why is that?
Baggage cars nowadays tend to be used more for riders and souvenirs so they are placed in the middle of the train so they can be easily accessed by everyone on board
@@DynamoProductions-trains ok. Thanks for the information.

tried to see it in January, turns out, it was in the shops at the time.
Oof
Anybody that has seen steam locomotives before, even 148, do you think it would be possible to do a cab ride on this locomotive?
Possible, but not at the moment
(3:13 PM, 3/15/2023/2020's)-(Shaden Leader); That's so cool to have this Railroad experienced on the Sugar Express in USA's Florida. 148, a high speed Steam Locomotive Engine. Cool! 😎Good Job again; 1 Comment only for each of the Films, including Videos.

They should put the headlight in front of the boiler
As opposed to what?
To make it look Better
It never had that look
