I was a brakeman on the N.K.P railroad in Bellevue Ohio in 1953 , I road this steam engine many times , my what a power machine it was , it would pull a 100 loaded freight car 70 to 80 miles per hour , we run from Bellevue Ohio to Fort Wayne Indiana, After all these years I still like to watch the train go by ,
Beautiful, beautify art, technology, power, ingenuity, design. I expected to hear the engineer jump off and say "alright everyone, get out and push on the count 3 ...". Thanks for sharing .... !
The actual encounter of a functional steam engine is something that is etched in the mind for life. I saw a steamer in 1975 in Tacoma Park MD. They are loud with an array of pressurized sounds. love it!!
What an audacious concept. We're going to build a water tight container out of iron and steel and rivet it all together. Then heat it to hundreds of pounds per square inch. And put it on wheels and roll it down a track at high speed. And it WON'T blow up! Awesome. Beautiful machine. Thumbs up to its caretakers and great respect to its designers and builders. You guys were giants.
Well, that’s why steam locomotives have pop off valves, like that loud hissing thing going off at 1:11. When there’s too much steam pressure in the engine, that valve releases the excess steam. Hence, why more modern steamers don’t have a problem with blowing up as much as the earlier models. That pop off valve is super important when talking about steam pressure safety.
@@BigBerk765 I guess it's the concept of sealing pressure with metal on metal interfaces. We do this all the time -- airplanes, locomotives, spacecraft, etc -- but I still don't fully understand how. I asked a guy who worked at Boeing one time -- you send a plane into the sky whose metal skin is riveted together. You do it multiple times and the plane's body flexes as it flies. HOW do you keep it hermetically sealed? He says well we use special glues... and I cut him off. SPECIAL GLUES?! You GLUE the plane together??? He didn't bother finishing what he was going to say LOL. But yeah I love looking at huge steam engines and wondering about it. I get that they have safety valves but that's a lot of rockin and rollin down the track at 200 psi.
@@darioinfini It’s funny you mention that because ever since I was a kid, I was always fascinated by vehicles in general. Cars, trucks, buses, trains, helicopters, airplanes, boats, semis, anything made out of metal and can move under its own power. Trains, to me, are particularly fascinating because of their sheer size & weight. And the fact that these 2 skinny steel rails can hold this gigantic vehicle up with no problem! Trains are huge! Especially steam engines! They weigh thousands of tons and are essentially the size of an office building. An office building that can move! And these few-inch wide rails can support all that unbelievable weight?! So, like you, I think about this stuff a lot as well. It’s mind-blowing, to say the least. BTW, that glue bit was hilarious. I cracked up reading that! 🤣
@@BigBerk765 I've had exactly the same thought about the rails. The Big Boy literally weighs one million pounds. ONE MILLION. I think I did read that the engineers had basically reached the limit of the rails to support the weight. They could have gone bigger but normal rails wouldn't be able to handle it. Another thing that fascinates me endlessly is that the Big Boy has the articulating front truck that hinges independently from the rest of the carriage to be able to go around curves. So when I was looking at this thing and thinking about it I realized that the steam pipe from the boiler to the pistons HAD to have some kind of flexible interface somewhere carrying steam. I found it in a a pair of rotating elbow joints. It blows my mind that engineers were able to design a rotatable elbow joint capable of holding 200 psi steam pressure in the 1940s. Again, a metal on metal rotating interface mind you good for 200 psi. This is rocket science before rocket science.
@@darioinfini And as huge & monstrous as the Big Boy is, there are other steam locomotives in the world that would rival it in size, weight & pulling power. The Norfolk & Western Y6b, Chesapeake & Ohio Allegheny and Great Northern R-2 are just a few other articulated steam engines that gave the Big Boy a run for its money. Some of those locomotives were several tons heavier than the Big Boy and pulled even longer & heavier trains than it could! Think about that for a second. Back when the steam era was in full swing, Union Pacific Big Boy had rivals among it that were heavier and even stronger. 😮
What a beautiful piece of living history, I hope we continue to preserve these lovely machines. Talk about Beauty and the beast - This train has both, beauty and is a beast. I love the smell of graphite, oil and steam all mingled into one. I was fortunate to join the British Merchant Navy as an Engineer whilst they still had steam ships with main engine being a steam turbine and most of the auxiliary equipment being reciprocating steam engines. Thanks for this video, its pure magic in motion.
Yes nickel plate road 765 and the others in the Berkshires in the class do have Sanders equipped by the wheels but the oil was to much for the engines Sanders
@ 1:16-1:130, it looks like the train is trying to "burn rubber" with that slippage. I think that looks so damn cool the way all those levers, beams, and what not, are moving to make the wheels turn. It will never never get old to me. I know these aren't the most environmental friendly but they are damn cool looking....that's for sure!!
I've never seen a steam locomotive in person. I've always wanted to, just there isn't any in this area. Sometime in the late eighties driving through the mountains in Tennessee I heard one once. It's quite an eerie sound when it echoes in the mountains and on the ridges. Thanks for the video.
I used to hear the engines in the next valley over, late at night, as they passed Cotton Hill Station. I don't think they were steam locos but it was in the late 1950s. At any rate, I could hear that whistle blow as it went passed that dead station and it seemed like the loneliest sound in the world.
You really should, living in England you are never that far from a steam engine ( not as big as this beauty though). So make the journey and help keep your heritage alive, you won't regret it.
I think they were applying too much power. You can see that when they put a little bit of power it did start moving, but when they put a lot of power, it just kept spinning. This is a really cool train. ❤
Spent a bit of time at the throttle of a steam locomotive have you? Its not quite the same as sitting on tour a*se working the DCC controller on your model railroad layout.
Someone has to switch on the traction control. Lionel had Magna Traction that worked . All kidding aside it’s very rewarding to see that people put time and effort into these beautiful giants. It’s just fun listening to the chuffing and watching the drivers moving.
That's always SO cool when you watch the arms on the wheels turn and turn so fast until it finally kicks in. I know it's wheel slip and it's not good for this to happen at all, I just like watching it when it does
My grandfather was an engineer for the B&O. I got to ride in one, run the throttle, helped the fireman throw coal and blow the whistle. When I was 12 or so, I rode in a diesel electric from Cincinnati to Lima and back a couple of times. I miss my grandpa. He was a great man.
They are beautiful until the foreman gives you the job card with "Valve Job" written on it, that will knock the smile off you face, especially if its on the night shift 3 days before Christmas on the GWR, done it, not very pleasant !!
I keep rewatching this one, it fascinates me. The driver certainly knows his stuff, this would have been only too easy for the slip to become uncontrolled and destroy the locomotive. Interesting to actually see the sanders in operation. Great video and well done to the guy on the throttle!!!
Wow! That was hard work.You would think that the massive weight of the loco' would itself prevent wheelspin. I guess the sand boxes had run out.The front drive wheel appeared to have lost a fair amount of grease Hope all was well. These trains are an extremely important part of American history and heritage, ( and all over the world) We certainly hold them close to are hearts in Great Britain. Thank you
I saw a video with James May explaining why trains have a lot of trouble with a grade of only 2% and can't really go up anything steeper than that. He said that the surface area of the wheels of a locomotive that's actually touching the tracks is only the size of two 50p coins.
In this video, the train had just run through a nearby flange greaser. Passing freight had splattered grease all over the rails, getting it on the steamer's drive wheels too. Normally it doesn't slip anywhere near this much. Eventually the crew's efforts in manual sanding and wiping away the grease allowed the engine to work through the tight curve and be on its way.
This reminds me of my home town (eastern Washington) where there was a grade coming and going and the usual route was from north to south. Every year or two some of the fun loving local guys would grease the rails on the outbound side of town to the consternation of the evening train crew. Laying in bed at night you could hear the engine hit the greased section and spin to a stop, whistle a couple of times and then back all the way to the down slope on the northern side of town, get a good run at the greased section and nearly make it through. Failing, it would repeat the process until it finally made it all the way past the greased section, by which time the entire town was awake. What fun.
I used to live in Eastern Washington.....just curious where your prank took place. We used to put pennies on the tracks and retrieve them later all flattened out, but that's all.
Trains need sand at the drive wheels for tracktion. That is what they are putting on the rails. Either the sand boxes ran out or they malfunctioned. Those steam locomotives are super powerful.
Hey guys... Hey you yes you lovely people that I'll never meet I just wanted to let you know that you are loved and deserving of everything! Today is going to be a wonderful day Stay safe everyone ⭐
I believe this must have been a test run, it was pulling 27~28 cars including a water tender!! That's a lot for a Berkshire wheel arrangement 2-8-4 Engine.
Default profile photo 1 second ago Same thing happened here with J 611 on a fan trip in 1989. It was a Buffalo-Ashtabula round trip, west on the NKP, east on the parallel NYC. turning the consist here at Ashtabula. The J had to push its train through the connector and up the grade onto the Ytown Line in order to clear the switch, and the pull forward across the diamond and through the SE connector onto the Conrail Chicago Line. Same problem then, too much grease. An NS local working west of Ashtabula on the NKP had to drop its train and come to the rescue to couple to the J and help shove the train through the connection.
It was common practice to have a greased rail outside the steam shops back in the day to check for problems after a overhaul. Mechanics could just stand and watch a few feet away if everything looked and sounded good.
Yes! Not with just grease but with oil as well. There was footage on the net somewhere (possibly UA-cam) of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad's "Slip Track" where it was a dedicated track in that yard, near the shops to test the locos just outside at full speed. Love the footage they show in the video. I could only imagine how hammered and worn that track was. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!
Flangeway greasers are not uncommon. They apply grease only to the inner flank of the rail head. The NC&StL J3 4-8-4 "Dixie" class of 1943 had the two leading sets of drivers in bearing boxes that stretched across the frame - joining the left and right bearing boxes in a single casting. The leading four drivers had a couple of inches free side play in the frame (not "frames" - the J3 had a one piece cast steel main frame that extended from the pilot mounting brackets to the rear buffer and coupling link housing, incorporating the main air reservoir). The lead truck had a center pivot bolster connected to the truck side frames casting by swing links, allowing some side play. On curves the swing links acted to increase the loading on the lead truck axles. The J3s could negotiate a 19° flat curve under their own power at low speed without binding. How is the NKP Berk designed in this respect? It is one of the last road steam locomotives built in the USA.
Al Grayson im not too sure how the design of the berk platforms out to compare what you mention. There is alot of unique technology in steam locomotives
On the last run of the Woodstock VT railroad, some young guys greased the rails on Shallis Hill. The passengers had to push the train over the top. This was in 1933.
Just like in India..the difference is 2 men will sit on the very front part of the train(!!!!!) to monitor the situation/wheel.they throw sand/salt on wheel/track if there's a slip
My father, CA 1905, when hauling clay for CPR in Baniff did the same greasing when CPR was going to put in a narrow Guage rr to haul clay. He was a teamsters alon with someone who still operates a tour bus line.
You know what locomotives like 765 need to prevent wheel slippage: Rubber Tires. Yes, I know that whenever rubber tires were tried out, they didn't work. However, rubber tires will give the locomotive much better grip and traction on the rails than regular steel wheels.
I asked and someone answered correctly because at about 7:45 you see the wheel slowly turn and hear the steam escaping every 90 degrees of the wheel turning. That tells me that the wheels are 90 degrees out of phase and the axle must be strong enough to transfer the torque from the power stroke of one cylinder to the wheel on the other side.
After reading the description of events we must come to one conclusion. Old rigid frame loco's must be very particular about the modern tracks they choose to run on. Also , when playing with grease one must also carry an ample supply of DE-GREASER.
Was that Doyle McCormack at the throttle?..... they don't come any better if it was him, he's one of the best and a near modern day legend in the world of steam locomotives and trains in general.
How embarrassing! But fun! My great uncle said his huge 4-8-4 freight locomotive would slip on fall leaves. He was always hauling more than the locomotive should have been pulling.
That's actually a regular problem with a local commuter train every fall - they have to double up (two diesel locomotives vs usual one) and make sure that one of the grades has a green signal so they don't have to stop between the stations or they get stuck.
Even though this isn’t the richest neighborhood, you can tell that they take pride in their homes, their yards and keeping the streets clear from trash and litter. 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Nice job Ohio!!!!

Al Grayson im not too sure how the design of the berk platforms out to compare what you mention. There is alot of unique technology in steam locomotives
The rear two drivers flex some to allow 765 to negotiate tighter curves.
I guess no "sand hoppers" on 765.
Those steam locomotives are awesome! Keep them running!
The sand dome is the long and wide dome on top of the boiler that says "N. Y. C. & St. L." on its side.

Thanks! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇸
Henry Sanchez No problem.
0:24 who also thought 765 was at speed 😂
Look the great power of steam,,can drive these iron giants with ease,,,excellent engineering 🎉Regards to those who invented steam engine 👌👍🎉🎉🎉🍫🍬🍭🍓
Nada más hermoso y romántico que una locomotora a vapor
The ease with which this beast spins those gigantic wheels....
On the last run of the Woodstock VT railroad, some young guys greased the rails on Shallis Hill. The passengers had to push the train over the top. This was in 1933.
Wow, this one video may have turned me into a railroad enthusiast! - How fascinating to watch
На старых паровозах(например, 1920 годов), над каждым колесом были \песочницы\ - в них ссыпали чистый,сухой песок как раз для антипробуксовки.
Just like in India..the difference is 2 men will sit on the very front part of the train(!!!!!) to monitor the situation/wheel.they throw sand/salt on wheel/track if there's a slip
My father, CA 1905, when hauling clay for CPR in Baniff did the same greasing when CPR was going to put in a narrow Guage rr to haul clay. He was a teamsters alon with someone who still operates a tour bus line.
У этого паровоза песочница тоже есть. Но видно в нее забыли песок засыпать. :-)
by the wat, the description was incredibly helpful thank you :D
When man harnesses a dragon for his power! Thing's happen and just a little logic and patience gets things going back on track again.
Excellent
what a train beauty I like that design
I am surprised that the sandboxes equipment was not working on the locomotive.
A sandboxes is a basic requirement on all railway vehicles.
Since the town is showing up, have them push....
You know what locomotives like 765 need to prevent wheel slippage: Rubber Tires. Yes, I know that whenever rubber tires were tried out, they didn't work. However, rubber tires will give the locomotive much better grip and traction on the rails than regular steel wheels.
Holy mother of torque!
electronic wheel slip technology was still a few decades in the future when this monster was dreamed up.

I asked and someone answered correctly because at about 7:45 you see the wheel slowly turn and hear the steam escaping every 90 degrees of the wheel turning. That tells me that the wheels are 90 degrees out of phase and the axle must be strong enough to transfer the torque from the power stroke of one cylinder to the wheel on the other side.
After reading the description of events we must come to one conclusion. Old rigid frame loco's must be very particular about the modern tracks they choose to run on. Also , when playing with grease one must also carry an ample supply of DE-GREASER.
Meanwhile in Poland on most railways we are still using old tracks from 1890's...
Hansome steam lokomotif 😍😍😍😍
Big body, powerful and have much fans🎉🎉🎉
wheel slip occurring... traction speed decreased
Yeah nkp 765 is wheel slipping
Why doesn't he put sand?? Oh they do at the end
@@matt995amg Read videos description
Don't they have automatic sand dispensers?
Beautiful footage and train, I Subscribed 😎👍
Meraviglioso video ,amo queste locomotive sin da quando ero piccolo che fortuna quelle persone li vicino ,grazie all'autore di questo video 😃😀👌👍👍👍
A cop was taking a picture of that too hahaha very nice.
He had a call at the time to say the bank had just been broken into, but he was getting his priorities right.
Maybe his son liked steam locomotives?

It's oddly satisfying watching her drive wheels spin out of control.
i LOVE THE GUY WHO WAS USING HIS SHOVEL LIKE IT WAS A BOAT xD Go to 8:04 to see

Nice work man
Was that Doyle McCormack at the throttle?..... they don't come any better if it was him, he's one of the best and a near modern day legend in the world of steam locomotives and trains in general.
2Stroke Diesel Power im almost certain it was him, rich was at the crossing. They are both awesome!
Nice video shot, thanks for sharing it, keep it up :)
Well, on the bright side if there were any mild flat spots on the drivers there isn't anymore.
Gg
Amazing
How embarrassing! But fun! My great uncle said his huge 4-8-4 freight locomotive would slip on fall leaves. He was always hauling more than the locomotive should have been pulling.
That's actually a regular problem with a local commuter train every fall - they have to double up (two diesel locomotives vs usual one) and make sure that one of the grades has a green signal so they don't have to stop between the stations or they get stuck.
Lovely.....the loco looks frightening
5:40 'please drive slowly. We our children'
Love has left the chat
Great car that pulled around the corner. Crazy amount of torque
the guy in the green shirt did it. he returned to the scene of the crime. GARANTEED!
gary jonson if you are talking about the grease, it was the maintainer who did it.
😱as a kid, I commuted daily from Village to city for school, but never I witnessed my steam horse slipping this badly.
