0:07 imo, the greatest boxcar paintscheme of all time
@@yeoldeseawitch Definitely one of the most well known schemes that for sure.
@@TranscontinentalRailfan Well-known mostly because of Lionel and their line of State of Maine boxcars. I never even knew the road name of those cars until recently, because the most prominent lettering only says "State of Maine" and I know there isn't a State of Maine Railroad. But now I know that those cars were owned by the Bangor and Aroostook
I like the news about the climax engine. 🚂
Me too! Not a lot of them are preserved, but seeing few of them either returned or will return to operation makes them more valuable!
And good to see her being an ambassador for her owner. ...and also for her "species", the Climax. Though I must say that engine looks more like a steam tram than a Climax. The youngsters would probably be more inclined to compare it to Toby than to Ferdinand at any rate, lol!
@@richhood9934 There should be more Williamettes restored to operation because they are said to be more reliable than Shay locomotives due to their value gear
Can't wait to see them return to operation.
There was also just a hint at 614 being restored!
@@RailfanIan1225 I saw something about it on Facebook about a month ago, when 614 recently had its front pilot and cylinders painted black.
@@RailfanIan1225 where’d you find it at?
“C&O fans” Facebook group
@@TranscontinentalRailfan and several other Facebook groups besides
it was a rumor that it was also gonna be part of the 2026 freedom train
Good morning
Yessir. That's a ton of railfan updates and announcements. Hope the Manassas Gap Railroad is completely saved
@@OfficialSEIC2K6 Same here! There is so much potential in it!
@atsf855sanbernardinocounty85 The Railroading Heritage of Midwest should now focus more on UP 3985 and 5511, before getting something new.
I agree with you about the Manassas Gap Railroad. That would be a nice place to run 1361 and 614, when, or in 614's case, if, they are restored to operation
I use to live along the Mannassas gap railroad very scenic for tourist railroad
Awesome video. Every time I see those State of Maine boxcars, I always think of Lionel and watching I Love Toy Trains. But I'm glad that that boxcar is being restored.
Keeping up with updates on C&O 614. Checked their official page and theyre at 96% before revealing whats happening with the engine
Still at 96%. Wonder why the delay
@richhood9934 They never really gave an official announcement date, so it’s basically whenever they think is best.
Great video update and announcement
I wonder if this is where 2926’s road to excursions really starts to shift into high gear
Any support really helps the group prepare for mainline excursions. I have made a few donations towards fully equipping their tool car.
I certainly hope so. I might be going to the Southwest next year, and I'd love to see the 2926 running.
Istg, if 2926 and 3751 do a doubleheader next year at some point, I’m gonna flip the fuck out.
@@DillianTrainzStudios Seriously. I'm planning on going to the southwest next year and hoping to time a visit to the Grand Canyon Railway for the first Saturday of October with 4960, but if one or both of those engines (3751/2926) put in an appearance there or on Raton Pass at some other time, I'd change things in a heartbeat to see that. I wonder if one or both of those engines could do a residency at the GCRY, the way 611 has done at Strasburg or more recently on the Virginia Scenic Railroad.
yay
Yeah if you can have a recreational trail then you can have a railroad
What costs more; a 6 lane freeway with extra space and maintenance for 500 miles or quadruple track mainline railroads
hello railfans we need help getting the jane maire
