@virginiatruckee Yes it does have piston valves, but you don't have to close the throttle if when you adjust the power reeverse, or johnson bar with either kind of valve.
You push the johnson bar either forward or backwards. The farther you push it or the closer to a "corner" the more steam will be let into the cylinder and you get more power. To go forward you would put the johnson bar most likely pretty far into the front corner to get the train started and you pull the throttle back. Steam locomotives gain horsepower with speed so as you get moving you can pull the johnson bar back to save steam which means less firing etc. You use both of these when running
The "Johnson Bar" controls the valve on each piston....ie the length of the valves stroke & its relationship to the piston. Full forward: is long duration to mid postion which is short stroke(of the valve). Full back: is reverse long duration to mid postion shorter stroke. Once the train gets rolling you shorten the valve stroke to save steam. To just stop: you close the throttle and apply the brakes, no need to adj. the Johnson Bar
@ponkkaa There are just several methods of running the valves on a locomotive, the high settings on the reverser are used for times when much steam is needed, for instance starting the train, and the lower settings are to use the steam expansively in the cylinder. Getting a locomotive started requires more steam than keeping it moving unless for example you are pulling a hard hill. :D
You push the reverser all the way forward, and pull back slightly on the throttle, to get the loco moving. Then, as you pick up spee,d you pull the reverser back towards you slightly, and pull on the throttle slightly. You do this every time you want to speed up increasingly.
Ok, so do you full forward the Johnson and open the throttle and the train accelerates then when you reach your desired speed you pull back on the Johnson? Then to stop you forward the Johnson and close the throttle and apply breaks until you stop and then pull back on the Johnson again?
I finally came around to watching all parts of this great movie. I realy enjoyed it, thanks!!
So glade you did. Thank You.
@@edgallegos496 And thank you for the reply, sir! Keep the kettle hot and the whistle howling!
keep safe big like
Thanks for a wonderful time in this short movie. And the signal is 2 shorts.
awsome video

She has an easy to understand cab setup!

Awesome! "I'm just gonna fire the f***ing thing!" LOL! Good ol' Ed!
Excellent video. Why is the reverser gear on a notched bracket? I never realized that there was more than two positions. Is it a timing thing?
Nice video! Thanx ! ☺

Excellent....I noticed the engineer didn't close the throttle when he adjusted the Johnson bar, so is this a piston valve loco ?
No. Slide valve.
Ok, so do you full forward the Johnson and open the throttle and the train accelerates then when you reach your desired speed you pull back on the Johnson?
Then to stop you forward the Johnson and close the throttle and apply breaks until you stop and then pull back on the Johnson again?
That's pretty much it, you can basically compare it to the gear shift on a car.
And ?
how longs the full trip?
35 Minn. round trip.

What type of whistle is this?
SP chime on a northern pacific valve body, one of the kind whistle.
