I love that last sequence (Street Rd) where the steam engine is bouncing along the rickety rails and the deer are unbothered as the train gets nearer. Really lovely scenic autumnal views. It is also great that there is no commentary and no cheesy music. Just the sounds of the scene and that wonderful deep steam whistle.
Thank you very much! I was kind of hoping to see the crew get a free meal there, but as usual, the deer got out of the way just in time - LOL. Both of those shots came in succession, I filmed it departing Lahaska and then hung out until the train came back and had the deer encounter. :)
I want to learn to work on steam power and build a locomotive shop and engine house in my state to honor the history of the area. Seeing stuff like this give me hope my dream can come true.
Hello from the UK, where we are on lockdown! I have been watching a lot of US rail videos. Thank you for posting this, it is wonderful to see and hear steam engines. I don't think that we would have the engine pushing a train from the back for any distance in the UK like this one does. My question is about the chap in the doorway of the end carriage. There appears to be some sort of pipe from the base of the carriage going into where he is standing. Do you know what this is and what is its purpose?
Jeremy, it is not a typical practice in most places. It is only being done because of the runaround track being out of service at Buckingham Valley station. I think what you are referring to is the air whistle that taps into the air reservoir used for braking. It allows the them to have some sort of warning device on the lead end of the train.
As for a larger steamer, it's not really needed, #40 can do the job well. There are plenty of other coaches as well, but they're in use on other trains along the line...
"Hi Jim!" XD Reminds me of the birthday charter I was on a few years ago. You probably know the one - "Hi foamers!" And all of us yelling off the back of the train...
@@odlyentertaining It's funny, that almost went over my head. Good thing I distinctly remember Chris Lynch mentioning your name. It's hard to forget the name of a guy who meets the passengers at the observation deck from the running boards of a moving locomotive!
The regular trains should start at Buckingham and act as a tourist shuttle service to New Hope. Ridership would greatly increase as people could avoid the parking and traffic nightmares in New Hope proper. The current set up is just out of touch with the economics of the area today. Glad to see they did something out of their "normal cubical" of thinking slightly.
Problem is that there's no real parking or even station area in Buckingham anymore. Plus if memory serves me correctly, they tried that, but there's just more traffic in New Hope itself, including walk-up visitors.
OldsVistaCruiser About 10 years ago we took the train all the way to Warminster. They used to run it twice a day so people could get on there & have a nice day in town.

Amazingly clean stack exhaust. The fireman knows his firebox.
Indeed he does!
@@Bigjimvideo didn’t i hear all the GE locomotives get scrapped?? I heard 7087 and 8211 are no longer preserved
That Dynamo sure is loud at times.
Super Aufnahmen Danke für die schöne bilder you a good 📽🎥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ many greetings from Germany Rhein side 🎅🎅🎅Happy Christmas
Love to see the coaches at Wycombe get restored sooner than later. If there are buyers love for them to go to Steamtown, BR&W, A&A, or even WK&S
While that would be nice - a lot of those places have their own issues to deal with...
@@BigjimvideoI would love for NHRR to at least restore them or cosmetically repair them. Longer trains the better
Also Colebrookdale would be ideal

Thanks! Although I thought about doing commentary for this one, I decided against it - too many great sounds.
Jim, I love the scene with the deer! Also, the start up of the shove move at Lahaska is great - nice stack talk!

Amazing video, nice train in wonderful landscape! Best regards from Germany, Railherbie

@@fuscoproductions Thank you for that info
Wow! What a sweet video! Perfect and I am sure you weren't using an IPHONE to video this.
I most certainly was not...
Be nice if a larger steamer was needed for longer trips between New Hope and Buckingham PA. Not to mention more passenger cars for more people

@@Bigjimvideo if I don’t mind asking, how many cars are operable on the NH&I?? I want to say around 20. Correct me if I’m wrong
@@nicholasmedovich8691 As of August 2021, 10 passenger cars, a baggage/tool car, and one caboose.
@@chasespadavecchia6407 thanks.
liked good to see it running
Thanks 👍
Deer always tend to cross the tracks at the last second.
I know, right?!!!

I wonder if it is the same guy.
@@odlyentertaining Sure sounded like the same guy to me! You're a sly dog, Casey! I remember you.

They should have connecting service to SEPTA in Warminster!
