Steam in the Highlands - The Jacobite Steam Train (Hogwarts Express)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- Take a ride on "The Jacobite" steam passenger service from Fort William to Mallaig in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.
The "West Highland Line" route was featured in the Harry Potter films as the setting for the Hogwarts Express - most notably the viaduct at Glenfinnan.
This video marks my first time outside of the United States, and special thanks goes to Dayna Jodzio for driving on the "wrong" side of the road to get to these beautiful locations!

When I say I want to visit the UK, THIS is why. Beautiful landscapes, great people, and not to mention, steam engines all around! Hope you enjoyed your visit!
THIS is Scotland
@@seumasstevenson2483 LOL, and Scotland is part of UK.
@@adiputra9164 Nowadays you have Scotland AND the UK.
@@kevinwm1172don't forget Wales
Are you high 😂 Scotland is part of the uk. I would know i am Scottish.@@kevinwm1172
It's very rare that I'll watch a train video on UA-cam more than once, but your videos prove to be an exception time and time again. I honestly don't know why this doesn't have more views. I wish every train enthusiast would see this video at least once!
This must be a memory for life!
It certainly is ❤
Now that's probably the most incredible video of the Jacobite trips that I've ever seen. I knew it was well worth the wait. Fantastic job, Joe!!
Blue Comet Productions, that's some high praise! Thank you!
What a cracking video! You capture a ride on the Jacobite perfectly
Smoothest cinematography I've ever seen in a train video.
Thank you!
What a fantastic promotion for the highlands of Scotland! Thank you for sharing your video...
Lovely video. On my trip to UK I did the Jacobite trip from Fort William to Mallaig and back in September 2016. The scenery was magnificent. Have loved steam trains for many years having travelled many miles since my childhood. Have many ancestors who worked on the Great Railways in UK, Canada and Usa.
me and my daughter Sarahs great adventure on this steam train was magical.I lover it more cause my great great granfather was a steam train driver on the greast west railway.
BEAUTIFUL TRAIN, BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES!! GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA!!
5:23 What I would give to hear the conversation inside that campervan. Definitely trying to catch up to the train 😂
Incredible! Absolutely fascinating.
What a great video, I went for the whole ride virtually and loved every scene
Indeed a professional video. Brings back nice memories of a trip on the Jacobite I had with my family on the 16th August 2017. It was the highlight of our holiday in Scotland. (Writing from Malta)
We have booked this for July, and i can't wait after watching this video, it looks absolutely amazing.thanks for sharing this incredible video 🤩
Thank you for the video. What delightful flashbacks I've been experiencing. Similar to eating a piece of ginger chocolate and when you think it's all gone you find a small piece left in your pocket. Jacobite Memories: one of the train employees 'Bernie, Bernhard when he's been naughty sense of humor, the elderly couple on holiday for their anniversary who kissed cheeks when I declared: "If this is the most romantic train ride in Europe why isn't anyone kissing?!" One of the delightful girls I hiked with who didn't have a coat and was wearing a lawn and leaf plastic garbage sack lent to her from a kindly shop keeper. Quite girl-scout of her I always thought. Oh, the Jacobite Express thank you! Though it's been 22 years since I rode the Jacobite Express. IT was as close to pure magic that one can experience on earth.
This is absolutely super. Don’t think m I’ve seen a vid that so well records the journey and the sound of the engines

Thank you so much for this video! Simply beautiful. I've driven along the coast there by Fort William and the scenery is spectacular as this video well shows. Thanks for having no background music and no narration, it would only detract.
Magnificent. Philippe
Completely charming. Loved every moment.
Superb filming in a wonderful environment and a great subject ! Thanks for sharing !
Wonderful scenery and a very professional film - thank you!
That is an excellent production. Thank you.
Beautifully captured of everything. Love the sceneries.
Absolutely great video, well done!
Great video! Brought back wonderful memories! Thank you! :)
Great video! Beautifully made.
That sure was an Incredible Video, This Stream Engine is Amazing!.😃👍
I enjoyed this trip with my wife and kids about twenty years ago after watching the Harry Potter Movie. Drove all the way to Fort William from Malaig to take the round trip. The really cool thing is it is a regular train service.
I'm a simple man. I see a new video from Joseph Fusco, I click "like". No, but seriously, great video as always, man!
ToonLink682, haha... thanks! FYI the Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game series of all time. Figured you'd appreciate that based on your username. ;-)
Fantastic video, amazing quality, well done.
Maybe it's because I played with toy trains so much as a kid, but I can never get over the sheer size of these stems locomotives. And that chugging is such a soothing sound.
Wonderful ! I should go to Scotland. Next year ? Why not. I never went North of Dent ...
Great to watch this. Booked on and going soon. Cant wait for it.
Lovely footage!
What a nice steamer right there.
Amazing video! I must say, that whistle sounds like the one that was used on Norfolk and Western #1218 in America!
Buyno
Buynot That’s kinda because the N&W Ys use a hooter (which I think the N&W hooter on the Y6s is trash), and the LMS used Hooters on the Jubilee, Royal Scot, Duchess, Princess Coronation, and 5MT class of engines they rostered. I’m a bit biased more for the LMS than the N&W though when it comes to steam.
Great film man, you should get a job with the Scottish tourist board,
Hope you had a good holiday, say hi to Dayna
robert mckee, I was going to send you a link, but you found it anyway - Thanks for the compliments (and accommodations)!
Breathtaking, stunning! Drone stormer...
Beautiful and incredible 👍🚂🚃 Greetings from the south of Poland🖐
Absolutely lovely. In 24 days, I'll be taking this trip.
I take it you had a good time?
@@c.9900 Oh YES! The train ride was fun, the scenery was incredible. Of course, it rained a great deal. We also stayed two nights at the Princes House in Glenfinnan and climbed the hill behind the viaduct, to see the Jacobite cross over.
An instant classic and an easy choice to add to my Favorites! Amazing, cinematic quality in both filming and editing! Makes me want more - how much does it cost to get over there? *starts searching for loose change*
This is awesome!
Stunning video
Stunning video.
brilliant video and the beat of the cylinders.
Thank you that was fantastic.
We rode the Jacobite in 2009! Great fun. Highly recommended. BTW, you need a reservation. We were lucky enough to be able to walk up and get three seats.

Excellent video , great job
Beautiful!
A great video, i feel like in holiday in Scotland. 🤩
This is Awesome
Phenomenal
It's true what they say. Steam Locomotives have their own "Charm". Each has its own personality. Enjoy this ride around The beautiful Scottish Highlands listening to the comforting "Chug, chug" of the train. -Bill Howes.
ĆI love steam trains! I would love to go on this!
I Love It a Lot
Magnificent
I Love Luxury Steam Trains!
Magnifique 🎉
Always impressed with William stanier black 5 such a powerful Train

❤️🧡💛💚
Had no idea there were such cool tunnels after the viaduct! Thanks for this awesome video!
Pleased to see former LMS coaches hauled by an ex-LMS Scottish Regionloco, as trains would have been back in the day. Anyone know where loco shed 65J was? I see the engine changed to 62005 (Lord of the Isles) at the end!
The train got passed by cars, but seemed to keep up to the bicycles! Anyway, more chance to admire the nice scenery.
The speed of the train varied quite a bit, but I think it was a maximum of 40mph, with a few stretches where they slowed to about 10-20mph as seen in the shot with the bicycles. I believe the speed over the Glenfinnan Viaduct was approximately 20mph.
Lovely
Brilliant footage. All I will say is that the cutting between the K1 and Black 5 is a mite confusing though! Despite that, superb quality stuff.
Black Fives are awesome. 45407 is regular power for The Jacobite. The only other regular power is #62005 "Lord of the Isles"
Thomas Weekley 62005 tops 5407 in my opinion.
The K1 is the reason why anyone would visit the West Highland! Black 5s are a) everywhere and b) not authentic to the line. To be honest Cameron's K4 3442 'The Great Marquis' was designed specifically for this line - and IMO should be working the Jacobites too...
I didn't know that steam engines were so powerful. It is impressive that this tiny for the modern standards steam engine pulls so effectively so many fully loaded carriages.
It is interesting that we tend to forget that even antiques were built with a purpose - and that they can still carry out that purpose, given the proper care. You're right - it is impressive. No diesel assist, just one steam locomotive and a rake of sold-out carriages. Love it.
@@fuscoproductions We forget it because we don't see these engines in use anymore.
The thing that diesel add to train engines is the performance. That is why diesel engines replaced the steam ones. The Jacobite train is not the train that you can use it for long distances.
Anyway...What is the most impressive is that this particular engine is an antique. But it keeps going strong!
I love it... I've just added this video to my favorites list!
I love trains because trains travel you, they don't simply transport you as airplanes do. They don't simply take you from spot A to spot B. You experience whatever there is in between two places.
Dear Joseph, this is amazing footage. We are a Glasgow band and wondered if you would mind if we used excerpts in a music video we are planning of a cover of a Big Country song? Best wishes.
Thanks for asking, you have my permission as long as I receive credit in the video! I’m glad you liked the footage.
Great video. Will you be filming more videos in the UK?
King of the Creeps, as of now, no. I would like to do some more next time I visit!
It amazing how this line managed to survive. If you look at New Zealand, there were a ton of branch lines that were ripped up in the late 60's early 70's. Scotland and England have got so much rail compared to New Zealand which is a bigger country.
Similar situation here in the USA. For example, the UK has ~400 operable steam locomotives, many are mainline certified. The USA, which is vastly larger than the UK, has about ~150 operable steam locomotives, and only a small hand full operate on the mainline at any given time.
The UK has an impressive preservation scene, no doubt.
Yes I do agree!
Did you have a railside pass of some sort for some of these vantage points (before I go and do anything illegal)? For instance, where exactly is that at 6.42 when it appears to emerge from a tunnel?
Amazing video, and the 26 plonkers that disliked this need medical help!
Excellent footage, my friend! Also, isn't 62005 a former LNER locomotive?
Max Medaglia No. Like all K1s and most Peppercorn-designed engines, 62005 never saw the rails with an LNER number or branding outside of when it was painted in apple green and given an LNER number in preservation. The only K1 that did serve under the LNER was a Thompson K1/1.
Splitting hairs really! The K1 is an LNE design through and through, even if they were built under the auspices of BR...
Well, I know what I'm doing once lockdown is lifted.
🌷🌷🌷🌷♥♥Wonderful
When there’s no wizard kids, Hogwarts express is used for muggles entertainment)
...we Muggles are lucky they let us ride their train!
If this piece of shit will let me comment this time, my Father did his apprenticeship on the last of the steam engines here in Australia in the 50's, he would love this video, I like it for different reasons, great video.
Having trouble with your computer? I'm glad you (and your father) like it. Good to have those memories.
beautiful! can i use some of this footage for a short film i am making for school?
Sure - just be sure to credit me! I’d also love to see the film when you’re done. :-)
@@fuscoproductions thank you!! i’ll put you in credits. maybe i’ll send it through on instagram if that works :)
@@saffronklovekorn9860 sure - @fuscoproductions on Instagram.
Super Film!!!
Several times throughout the video the locomotive stops chugging and spewing smoke for a while before resuming again after a short 10 seconds or so break. Does anyone know what is happening in the locomotive during this period of time? I'm curious I've never seen a steam locomotive do that before. Great video by the way as others have said. 😀
Driver closes the regulator either to slow down or because they are going down hill.
I don't think it has to release white steam all the time. I think it only does that in areas where people come to watch the train pass by.
That's when the driver goes for a shit !!
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 The "white steam" is exhaust steam from the cylinders condensing into water vapor while the engine is being worked. It's not done for show, and it's most visible in cold or damp weather. As videographer Joe Fusco explained in his comment, if the throttle ("regulator" in the UK) is closed, usually because the locomotive is coasting downhill or to a stop, there'll be very little or no visible exhaust steam. By the way, on my first viewing just now, I didn't notice any black or gray smoke. Those firemen knew their business.
Hi please can you tell me what is the name of the place where you are sat on the wall where you get 45407 and the bikes please can you reply quickly bye for now Philip
As per the chapter title, “The Morar.”
Hi guys, would you be willing to allow us to use a brief excerpt of your footage for a music video - it is a cover of a Big Country song and in the original they had some footage of the train back in the 80S which we are trying to reference. We would credit you of course.
No problem, as long as I am credited in the video. Send me a link when it is done! I'd like to see what you put together. :-)
Scotland 🏴
Hey Joseph, I've got a brief video of the train at the station at Fort William preparing to depart and I've written a short script about it, it's about 3 minutes long, the origin of the Railways logo is particularly interesting.
I'd love to use some shots from your film, it would help a lot, at present I've got my wee bit, then some cutaways to explain the design, I will essentially have to slow-mo the video to spin it out to the time required for the narration. So a few shots would help *massively*, and make the film far more dynamic.
Please, can I reuse some short sequences?
Absolutely, as long as you credit me (Joseph Fusco) in the video.
@@fuscoproductions Brilliant! Thanks Joseph, will do. You've made a lovely piece. Visit Scotland should sponsor you!
3th time watching

Why were you in the UK? Just asking I'm curious
EvanF1293 long story short, my fiancé went to graduate school in Edinburgh, Scotland. :-) Even if she hadn’t, this trip would’ve been on my bucket list.
@@fuscoproductions ahh sounds nice
Caralho mano
45407 in the beginning and 62005 at the end?!
Both engines were running while I was there. Most shots are with 45407 but some are with 62005.
