  • Work trains are a necessary part of railroad maintenance. They carry important vehicles and materials to locations of track work along the railroad. In this video, we will take a look at several different work trains and vehicles - everything from wrecking cranes to inspection trains. We'll finish off with a look at an actual steam powered crane at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum. All aboard!

    I can't tell you how excited seeing that old crane still working made me. I wish they painted them something other than flat black though.

    My favorite is Ely the steam powered Crane. I've not been there in over a decade. Lots to see and enjoy. I loved the tour from a 94 year old Railway retired worker he was a Steam to Desiel man . I also loved the Bakery accross the road from the old Station. I took my Sister in Mapleton Utah. A Apple Pie and Strawberry Rubarb pie. I called her from Ely and said put Supper on the Table I'm bringing Desert. 😁

    0:42 first time I've heard a K5LA on an end-cab swithcer!
    1:13 nice to see an ex-Conrail and Ex- southern hoppers on this short train!
    2:35 wheel-carry cars like this can also be found on normal mixed freight trains!
    3:57 nice catch of that car with a pantogrpah on it (probably a rebuilt metroliner!)
    4:20 a speeder carries his son back to the yard!
    4:25 nice catch of that Penn Central engine goign over the Northeast Corridor (it might actually be the Keystone Corridor!)
    The Nevada northern steam crane or the long UP one was my favorite!

    Operating that steam crane must have been some serious back breaking working for the men who did it. Being crammed into such a small space with a steam engine, im sure the heat was overwhelming at times.

    • @CoasterFan2105
      @CoasterFan2105  6 років тому

      Thank you! I used to regularly put captions for all my clips, but I received a number of complaints that it was distracting, so I don't do it as much anymore, the one exception being some of my longer narrated videos. If you want to know any locations in particular, I'm always happy to provide that info. Perhaps a solution would be to place a pinned comment in the comments section with all the locations and their corresponding time stamps?

    • @CoasterFan2105
      @CoasterFan2105  6 років тому

      Hey Robert, the crane is at the Nevada Northern Railway and Museum. It is as I understand it one of, if not the, only operating steam powered railroad crane in the U.S. It is brought out for occasional demonstrations. These particular scenes were filmed during the railroad's annual Winter Photographer's Weekend in February of 2015. They vary year to year what demonstrations they do during the photo weekends. If you want to see it, I recommend contacting them via their website www.nnry.com or messaging them on Facebook to see if they have any planned upcoming demonstrations.

    • @robertproctor1358

      @CoasterFan2105  6 років тому

      Thanks! No official travel plans yet, and it is possible the Florida trip will be pushed back into 2019. So far, it is looking like the PNW trip that I had originally planned for next month will be pushed back a little bit and may also include some of western Canada and my trip following the Transcontinental RR will be some time in July.
