Imagine this, it's 2010, you're a farmer working in the field next to railroad tracks, it's another busy day working in the summer and night is falling, then 2 massive beasts passing by you blaring their chime whistle, with a load of outdated freight, you remember them as a kid working with your father on the farm.
Idk why but seeing these two locomotives together brings tears to my eyes. It’s like two long lost siblings “talking” to each other in a way
bru 🥴🥴🥴
I know!It’s like they have there own emotions and everything!
It’s funny because they are kinda related
Same
This is pretty nostalgic. Reminds me of a time period I wasn't able to experience.
They need to make more steam engines. Just better, and more economical to run. But use a similar design to the trains of old. Don't ask me how they'd make these cheaper to run. I'm not an engineer.
MisterBurgerBeachball1225 most likely it would be oil
MisterBurgerBeachball1225 It’s impossible to make steam economical now. Far too many moving parts and staff required to keep it running, for not a whole lot in return compared to a modern diesel.
@@MisterBurgerBeachballtoo much money. I understand people like feeling of nostalgia and think it would be great but railroads are designed to make money. Having a large fleet of steam would need huge work force, logistics for water, coal and oil and special mechanics. The amount of money to pay these people in modern times would not benefit especially if it was a small railroad. Running the actual locos is the least of a railroads worries.
THE best railroad video I have ever watched. That was a very professionally done charter and photo shoot, without leaving out even the smallest detail. The opening sequence that takes place at dawn, along with the silhouette at sunset are the most beautiful scenes of railroading I have ever seen.
Absolutely beautiful. I remember stories my late father told me about seeing and hearing beautiful steamers in southwest Pennsylvania back in the late '30's to the early '50's. This brought back those wonderful memories 🙂
As an old guy that, as a kid running steam engines - Father was a railroad telegrapher - thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgic feelings you brought me. Now, being a film and video producer, I must compliment you on the great story construction and the expertise that you put into this production. Thanks so much
Very nice with doubleheader Berkshires I like the #1225 and #765 thank you so much
These two identical engines were on my great Granddaddy’s railroad during the Collis P. Huntington Chapter in 91’.
If the 1225 was part of the New River Trips to give the 765 a break. That would’ve been something fun to see.
If you're sick of other "Choo-Choo" train videos and need a quick fix of " REAL STEAM LOCOMOTIVES doing their jobs, like back in the day"...you've found it! Simply excellent and beyond compare !!!
Unbelievable!!! I have been chasing the 765 with my dad (Doug Brown) since the 80's and I love that she is back out on the rails. The 1225 is also one of my favorites and these sites are simply amazing... Brings back memories of 1218 and 611 running side by side long ago. Yes make a full DVD!!!
Doesn't get any better!! The setting is so appropriate...the great Mid West, corn fields, the sky. Outstanding!!
Love that pan shot at 4:02. Stunning roll-by's and top notch video!
4:02
Need a love button, not just a thumbs up!
man, what an awesome event! Truly astounding video. Maybe we'll get to see this again now that #1225 is back up and running!
LOVE the 765. Too bad I'm from Pennsylvania, a few states away, still, it's on my railfan list
Did you miss the 765 in Altoona and Allentown during the NS 21st Century Steam program? Unfortunately, NS has stopped hosting excursions. I live near Allentown and I rode the 765 Horseshoe Curve excursion from Lewistown and the Lehigh Gorge excursion which boarded near Bethlehem, PA.
@@robkrasinski6217 let me guess it was that Amtrak policy that shut down THE programs
765 passes through Jim Thorpe now
I’m in Pittsburgh and I just went to Akron for steam in the valley
Well do you like the 1 2 2 5
2 Berkshires and a two-banger John Deere, doesn't get any better than that!
When I was a kid I used to hang around the local railroad station. When the steam era ended I had no idea what we were losing, but I sure know now. Terrific video.
Simply beautiful.

Both locos have very nice sounding whistles especially 765
Cough Cough 6:30
1225 has a better whistle in this video
Awesome video! I'm from Berkshire County MA, the county the Berkshire type is named after. I think it would be cool if these engines would make an excursion to the Berkshires where it first held its famous trials for the Boston and Albany railroad. My great great grandfather and his brother worked for the Boston and Albany, If I remember correctly my great great grandfather as an engineer and his brother a conductor, so some of the railroad yore is still passed down in family stories
Very impressive to observe two "Berkshire" type locomotives double heading together on the same train, I always enjoy seeing footage of steam locomotives in operation. These operations scenes are repeats of railroad action during the 1940s-50s timespan, steam locomotives are interesting because there aren't many left in operation any longer and this reflects railroading operation from 65+ years ago.
Stunning!
One of the best rail videos I've seen as well..
Thank you!
Beautiful, no doubt about it. Congrats to those who put it together!
That was spectacular!...gotta hand it to you guy's in the USA!
If you could go back in time with an HD video camera and film the days that steam trains ruled the rails. It would look like this video. GREAT JOB!!!!
This is such a great video!!!! What are the "Exact" dates of these? Now, the only "Recommendation" I have is to show the entire steam freight train pass! The "Setting Sun" would have been great to do then-as the "Graffiti" can't be seen!
Fantastic video! Those two great ladies have heart and soul!
My 20 month old son now has a passion for the e"chugga", thank you for the videos.
@ Thomas Rivette - Yes, this is true. I allowed them to use any of my footage that they pleased; if you look in the credits of Train Festival, I'm credited.
My two year old son and I have been watching this, he thought it was amazing and so did I. Real hairs-standing-on-end good, and I've never even been to the US!
A marvelous, breathtaking video. The nighttime captures were really something else.
This seriously has to be the BEST steam train video I have seen on UA-cam !!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful photography. Can someone elaborate why whistles are blown so long and often in the US? Here in Aust, they usually give one or two fairly quick blasts on approach to a level crossing and that's it. I assume there is some regulatory requirement over there relating to the operation of train whistles, or do the drivers just like to "let off a bit of steam"?
when it comes to steam locomotives, Lima was one hell of a builder, these things were true powerhouses on wheels
@ 5:31 Absolute beauty. Couldn't get any more nostalgic than that.
This is absolutely incredible.
Oh wow that is magnificent scenery up there.
Those are some Beautiful Breakshires!
Magnificent! Its like a time machine/window to 1950. Very well done.
1944 actually because these are WWII era locomotives
I may cry now.... I wish I was born in the States back in the 50's....
Now thats epic!
I bet anyone living in aroostook county me.
could have seen this any day of the week in 1950 a couple of nice steam engine's
a vintage John Deere and a late 40's early 50's chevy truck and a wonderfull
view from a hay field what else is there to see!
GREAT VIDEO!. GREAT SENERY!
takes me back to a time before i was born
Fantastic, what a trip back in time. Thanks
This is absolutely amazing footage. Thank you so very much for your hard work. Well done!
This looks like something out of a MOVIE!! INCREDIB:E!!
Just an awsome video !!
I saw these 2 magnificent gal's at Train Fest 2009 in Owosso, MI last July. Nothing like standing next to a living breathe beast !!
Very much looking forward to being able to buy a DVD so that we can see your beautiful films on our big screen (and our 2 yr old will be ecstatic!)
What is so addicting about the sound of a chuffing steam locomotive?! I can't get over that beautiful noise of a chugging steel steam giant! :)
Cool to see both Locomotives with the 2nd Whistles on, i love the sweat reading 6 chime for the second whistle on 765, and the 611 3 chime on 1225
The most powerful steam locomotives NKP765 and PM1225 performed special doubleheader photo freight from dawn to dusk around Owasso, Michigan, USA
This is just a jaw dropping level of video.. Utterly amazing
wow, this in just incredible! Spectacular catches of these two gorgeous Berkshires, excellent content, and just awesome!
Extremely well done, one of the best steam videos I have found on youtube!
Wonderful! Beautifully staged - I could step back in time :)
"polar" as I call 1225 right in front of "McQueen" as I call 765. Amazing how people are able to set these things up. Now all we need in this world is a 765, 1225, and 2716 triple header.
Thanks - It is great to see freight steam video instead of passenger.
Awesome 2 Berkshire cousins recreating life from the fast freight era!
Wonderful video. Wish my father could see this, he would have loved it.
I would really like to recreate something similar to this here in Upstate New York along the Southern Tier Line between Corning and Meadville, Pa. I love that sound!
Thomas Flansburg The 765 just ran the Southern Tier line with an excursion train from Buffalo to Corning and back last Saturday and Sunday.... it was wonderful.
11jimcleveland I got to see it and am working on a video as we speak. However a steam double-header has few substitutes.
God, it's like a step back in time. Nothing looks out of place.
WOW, your work is amazing!!!
The Polar Express and the Cuyahoga Valley Express!!!
This is a great video, my compliments to the editor. American steam is at the top of the ladder and a real spectacle to watch. Just one comment though, I have driven freight and passenger trains in Australia for nearly 30 years and am now a senior accident investigator with the ATSB (roughly equivalent to your NTSB) and I have never heard so much unnecessary whistling. No other country in the world (save possibly Canada) uses the whistle so much. Anyway, it's still a great video.
The Pere Marquette was the C&O’s subsidiary. I received an email of the new items. The new item I looked was, the map of the C&O, PM, and NKP. It was very much a part of the system that I concur with.
First Rate Production!!! Just epic!
Very well planned and executed. Brilliant work with camera completes it. Thanks very much.
Alan
great vid! love these two locomotives, love the sound of the two sitting at the end there blowing steam and all :)
Very well done video.. I wish The Owl was around to watch it with us. He would have been proud.
Steam Engines live and could one day return to the rails once again
nothing like the sound the smell of the living steam engine
Maybe someday
Everyrail museum has at last one steam engine. If they could restore all those...
If this happens again within my life time no way I'll miss it
I haven't heard that much stack talk since NKP ran their steam freight service with 80 cars.
Awesome filming and editing! Makes up for a lot of the drivel on You Tube!
Magnificent!! Two of the finest examples of the Van Swearingen Berks.
Bravo. Magnificent realization with magnificent landscapes. Congratulations. 5*
2:40; "Side-By-Side Running"
@PereMarquette1223 Yes the whistle currently on 1225 is on loan from N&W 611. Confirmed by a friend who is currently working on the boiler rebuild. Perhaps it's operating at a different pressure or other variables. I have no information about NKP 765.
Awesome video.. thanks for posting!!
Joe, very impressive video, all i haft to say is WOW you out did your self and keep them coming!
@railfan95
Absolutely! Feel free to post wherever you like.
765 should reunite with 1225 in Michigan again, bring 1551, 425, 261 and 611 too!
You're videos always amaze me!
The night photo section reminds me of a color version of O. Winston Link. Overall, I'm impressed by the entire video.
Wow dude. I couldnt be there. But i felt like i was now. Great stuff. Joe you should really dvd some of this stuff up.
In many of the shots, the locomotives are blowing a standard long-long-short-long sequence when approaching a grade (road) crossing, as is the law in most places in the U.S. and Canada.
In many places, though, they were most likely just doing it for the hell of it. It is a steam excursion, after all. :-)
absolutly outstanding!!!
This is amazing
Best video I have seen of this event. Well done.
Super video. Thanks for making my night!!
My wife would call this 'choo-choo porn', and that's not too far from the truth! Pretty spectacular photography!
Awsome.. they just command respect... beautiful and powerful.
3:07 lots of lots of big trains DVD clip
Beautiful beasts.
@deloreanman14 actualy the fireman's whistle was just for the fireman's fun. it also serves as the whistle when the engineer is blind on his side goin around a curve. there are several times in which the engineer and fireman blow for the crossings. in this case, the fireman's whistle also provides some sound itnerest for the photographers.
Spectacular.
6:30 You gotta love 1225 Whistle it sounds so beautiful
Also that’s the whistle that ocemy used for there nkp 1225
@@HudsonFromNYC yea
The double-headed together in 1991 for the nrhs convention

I wuz in Owwazo and was told that 1225 was'nt feeling
well enough...seems OK now...good to know
congratulations
Best regards from the Croatian
6:30-6:32 ever wondered the origin of the N3V Games' 1225 whistle in trainz simulator?
Michigan Rail Productions that is the sound they used. Not that good.
Yeah I agree
Michigan Rail Productions ikr.
MPT 765 WHY DO I ALWAYS FIND YOU IN EVERY TRAIN VIDEO I WATCH!?
Union Pacific 4019 Productions idk lol
Why this video has 4 dislikes is beyond me, great job Joe!
