Chesapeake & Ohio 2716 Inside the Shop for the First Time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лис 2024
- For the first time since 2001, the former CSX Ravenna Car Repair Facility had railroad equipment rolled inside over newly-laid track which now connects the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp. to the North American rail network. Purchased from CSX in October of 2018, the new facility will be the epicenter of the Kentucky Rail Heritage Center: a trendsetting, adaptive re-use of pre-existing railroad infrastructure that will set a new mark in the economic revitalization of Eastern Kentucky. The Center will be a groundbreaking multi-use tourist attraction and economic development project that will integrate the region’s history, natural beauty, and culture in a vibrant 45-acre rail-centered campus located in Estill County, Kentucky. With 2716 now inside the shop, work will begin on the locomotive's restoration back to steam.
Kentucky Steam would like to thank CSX, RJ Corman Railroad Group, the Estill County Development Alliance, the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum, the Kentucky Railway Museum, our community leaders, and all of our volunteers and donors for helping make this dream a reality.

I love this old engine, hope they don't do what I heard that they up did with 4014 which is the diesel is pushing it it's not running all the way they say it has been running piped specifically to the whistle and a couple of owls if you really listen to 4014 you can't hear chugging sound I really want to hear 4014 run on its own power but anyway can't wait to hear 27/16 run again anyway thanks
And talk RJ Corman Co. into getting 2008 back up and running again.
@@gregbates703 The diesel was there in case something went wrong with the 4014, and wouldn't tie up a busy mainline. Also, those diesel behind 4014 was in full dynamic braking pretty much the whole time, acting as a load for the 4014. The 4014 didn't even know it was there. Give Ed and crew a chance to break the locomotive in properly, and then they will tie on about 7000 tons of cars to her drawbar and let her do some real talking.
Sir if you do not mind me asking.What was wrong with the locomotive because it was part of the southern steam program.You see I a guy who loves trains.Went to a school real close by the Seaboard Coast Line.Yes its the Seaboard Air Line my home town good old monroe n.c.Still has a yard but also had a round house.I would see 6 and some times 7 gp9 and gp7.I even saw some wooden boxcars and gon with steel braced.I heard different things about the locomotive.Like big problems to hey they could have fixed that there were just lazy.One more thing I also collect o gauge trains.I have a few berkshire types.I have a lionel tmcc berkshire with the lower head light.Its not-- Hey take a look for your self ua-cam.com/video/6IXedziiUOA/v-deo.html enjoy!
Two beautiful pieces of machinery indeed made me teary eyed. I am hoping 587 will be restored soon too
2716 and 587 together
Two of the forgotten steam stars together in the same shop and both going under restoration
Hopefully 587 will be operational again in a year or 2 just like 2716 will be
Evan's Megazord reviews maybe 2716 and 587 will go under steam at the same time
@@mopacproductions6669 I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, 587 isn't owned by the Kentucky Steam Heritage, its just being stored there
@@ExplodedwarlockD2 Kentucky Steam Heritage themselves said 587 is being stored there, 587 is not owned by them, its still owned by ITM. If 587 was owned by the Kentucky crew they would've said something either on their facebook or their youtube. And they have not. So don't give me any of that "that you know of" junk
@@Michael-eg3rs yep they may be storing it but they don't own her the itm does and a year later they still don't have all the money they need to give her the remaining repairs so she can operate again
Just gotta say, Clinchfield 800 makes for the classiest shop switcher ever!
Absolutely wonderful! Can hardly wait to see her return to steam! Good luck and godspeed with the restoration!
Man, what a year for American steam enthusiasts! Big Boy #4014, Santa Fe #2926, Moore Keppel & Co #9 and now C&O #2716!
What a year!
And hopefully leading to success in 2030 but starting now, 5550, a scratch built Pennsy. Duplex.
BuckEye49 - I do hope they get 5550 built. It’d be interesting to see what a T1 can really do, once/if they fix the wheelslip and valve gear issues they had back in-period.
@Charles Yaneza Yes it will!, Its going towards Excursions more then freight.
Yea, just everyone please remember to join one of the groups or donate. Please. This isn't free.
And hopefully if they make this possible, Allegheny #1601
Happy to see her inside, not to mention 587 is keeping her company, hopefully the two will be hurting down the tracks together across Kentucky and other areas of the. Thank you Kentucky Steam
Hopefully she'll be steaming again in a year or 2 again
I got my latest issue of trains magazine and it said that u guys won trains magazine's preservation award. Congratulations on winning
2716 almost looks like she’s ready for coal in the firebox!
The internals could need work, but cosmetically it looks great
So, three Kentucky scrap dealers gave this a thumbs down I guess. Saw 2716 run before. Beautiful engine that's deserves to be out there showing what she can do!
I knew Bill Purdy. He was the ultimate railroader and a great guy. I understand his son is involved with the restoration and return to operation of the N&W 611. I’m sure Bill would be thrilled to see 2716 return to steam.
Bill Moran you mean bill Purdie?
Looking forward to updates on how the restoration of C&O 2716 goes. Externally she looks pretty well.👍🚂🚂🚂👍
She's home at last
And 587 definately needed the company XD
Yep she does she was nearly scrapped last year and thank god thanks to the Kentucky steam heritage corporation she's being taken care of until she's ready to run again and head back to Indiana
Nice to see CSX involved in steam and paying attention to their heritage
Yeah. But I'm starting to wonder about why they put their logo on the tender instead of putting Chesapeake & Ohio on it?
I’ll be very honest here. When 2716 was poking out the other end of the shop, I got just a little bit misty-eyed.
When 800 shoved 2716, it looked kinda like it was under its own power, it’s sad
To see a massive steamer being restored
I had the sad, happy feeling when 4014 ran its first 2019 test run and the up 3 Chime ran through the valley
This is awesome, Kentucky steam Corp,
BRING BACK 2716,
Kudos to a good run 800 and 2716 and the c and o caboose.
I’m enjoying the journey of 2716 so much. Can’t wait for the chance to see it! Not only would I like to thank your organization for the work you’re doing to preserve a piece of history, but thank your media team. They are doing such a great job of documenting the entire process. It’s really fascinating. But if you all were ever in the mood to give us an in depth on Clinchfield 800, I would definitely watch that! I know it isn’t steam, but it’s old, and has been a part of 2716’s journey, and I’d love to hear 800’s story. Thanks! Be safe everyone.
Beautiful Beasts do my heart so happily to see Steam like 2716 ♥️
Jason, Great explanation of the straight wheels in a curve dynamics.
Keep going guys. In the U.K. we have steam out on the main line nearly every weekend hauling people and earning money. It’s the way forward.
Russ Bulley not where I stay haha. (Unfortunately.)
Also the way forward? Old, harder to run and maintain and less efficient is the way forward?
Love U.K steam!! The way forward!!
It’s awesome that the facility is reconnected to the North American rail system again. Wishing all of you the highest success possible
C&O 2716: Hasn't run in years.
Kentucky steam heritage trust: I'm about to restart this locomotive's whole career!
why do i see It-iNew4
She sure is a Beaut' Clark!
I'm happy to see another piece of American History heading back towards service, instead of to the cutters torch.
Also, Bessemer & Lake Erie 2-10-4 #643: www.ageofsteamroundhouse.org/aosrm-acquires-bessemer-lake-erie-no-643/
Bill Purdie's idea to illuminate each wheel is brilliant. Kind of like the ground lights with the Big Boy.
Amazing she's home very awesome she's home
Nice job guys! Poor 587 hopefully she will run soon
Everyone does
@@atsfevan0242 yea
Steam engines are making a comeback all over the world, beautiful giants they are
I'm excited for the future!!!
I wouldn't be
@@thiccraymond9259 Yeah looking back at this lol
Back at it again
Great Job KY Steam, was honored to be part of it and will continue to be there when I can. 2705 is next ha ha. Hey you already have the tender trucks.
Can't wait to see the roof of that shop painted....in cinders
Delighted Thanks 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤❤❤
This is a good day!
Congratulations!
Good luck with the restoration. Things are starting to come together for you. Take a break and come back rested!
I guess CSX listened and actually has a steam engine now
Well I guess so being that
UP has the 4014 and 844, and 3985 in the shops.
NS I guess has the 765, 611, and possibly 1225?
CSX now has 2716.
BNSF, CN, and CP don't know what they have.
Maybe. I wonder if CSX might actually have the solution to Amtrak's policy on excursion Trains. You would need your own passenger car fleet along with dome cars for the New River Trips in the fall. CSX might need to use their passenger cars just like UP.
@@DUBMANS 3 years, I know but I love 2716. BNSF I guess you can say allows 3751 to operate on their trackage, and CP has 2816, which is due to make a run to Mexico City next year.
Great to see this K-4 locomotive well on the way to steam operation. As an observer from Australia, it has become a personal favorite of mine even over 4014! Well done guys and I hope that the work proceeds smoothly.
Well done. Keep up the good work!
Welcome Home 2716 now the real work begins. Get the tools out KSHC LET'S TEAR DOWN!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE 2716 IN OPERACION
Wishing you all the best in your restoration efforts.
I Can’t Wait For Me To Steam Again!
Best of luck to you guys, hope #2716 will get to move under own power again n I hope to see her running soon, so good luck to you guys! 😉
I’m so glad to see you’re Crew being extra Careful Unfortunately I was a Witness of 765 Derailment many years ago because of Bad Ties on a Sidings!🚂C&OGuy
2716 is beautiful, 800 is no slouch, either. Some of those older diesels are quite beautiful. I’m not from those parts but I remember Clinchfield from a book that had a nice N scale layout based on that railroad. I always wanted to build that one, nice part of the country. Good luck with 2716!
Congrats to all and best of luck!
Good luck everyone, this is fantastic!!!
I really hope I get a chance to visit these girls
Fantastic news!
Absolutely beautiful .
I had been there earlier that day but had to leave due to the Rain man I hate That I missed that
This is a beautiful steam locomotive, can’t wait to see it coming up to northern Virginia some day :-))
Great video!
Don't suppose any of you Easterners know that Clinchfield's F3 color scheme is an EXACT copy of Spokane, Portland and Seattle's F3s (both numbered 800, too) right down to the yellow nose treatment and side striping. The one exception was that SP&S's carbody was Pullman Green instead of tell-tale gray. SP&S got theirs (for psgr service) in 1947, CRRs a year later.
awesome video :)
Appreciate the explanations
She is a beauty.
I wish I lived in the area, I’d love to come volunteer
Huh! I've been there. I've been in that building. I've taken packages there when I was driving a delivery truck. It always scared the bejeepers out of me to drive across that yard.
So is Clinchfield 800 sticking around or has it finished its work? Is 587 the other engine that's just down to the boiler?
Yep she is unfortunately
Give it 5-6 years and I'l most likely volunteer for y'all.
If y’all can somehow bring this thing through Ashland, that would be awesome
9:06 hopefully in a year or 2 587 will be back together again and running it makes me wanna cry when I see a steam locomotve in bad condition same goes for reading 2101, Reading 1187, Canadian Pacific 972, and others but hopefully in 2020 or 2021 587 will steam again and maybe hopefully be treated well better than her time at the Indiana transportation museum from the early 2000s to 2018
But hopefully she'll steam again one day
According to the Wikipedia, 587 should be done this year.
I doubt that and that was back before she was moved to Ravenna in late June and early July 2018
@@atsfevan0242 yea that is true.
Merry Christmas 2020 A.D.!! Hi from GB&W, and NRRM with C&O sister #2736!! Hey!! Four(4) of these K-4 Class Kanawha's have moved during the past two years since 2018, of the 13 left, from 90 built. 2716 here moved into the Raveena Shops. 2700 is the Original Prototype from 1941 moved in Dennison Ohio. Then 2727 was switched in Union at the Illinois Railway Museum with the Frisco 1630 2-10-0,see utube. Then 2789 is the very last of the 90 and moved at North Judson with a G.E. 70 Tonner. Are there any more that moved? But some are stuck in city parks. But 2736 here in gbw has not moved since 2001 and is parked behind AT&SF 5017 2-10-4-Texas class. 2736 was last sandblasted in 1985 and base coated with Brown primer then spray painted black, but now it is Very Dusty.
make it happen boys make it happen
I don't like seeing my nkp gal looking sad and rough next to the sparkly 2716. I wish they were both shinny
Omgerd. That music is killing me
Duniya ki best train takatvar engine bahut hi achcha
Is some of that creaking supposed to be the rails
Please restore 587 after 2716 is done!
Know all that's left is for 614 to be moved from Clifton Forge to Ravenna.
I’d love to see a Yellowstone reborn next or isn’t there a Chesapeake and Ohio mallet articulates being worked on ?
Yeah, 1309
the management for 1309 is basically a joke at this point, so much terrible management has happened on WMSR that I honestly stopped paying attention
The yellowstones were said to be very powerful pullers.And I believe it to.They pulled long trains of iron ore and that stuff has some weight.But I do not know if any can be brought back.I recall one in a park some where.The best is one that in a building.
Save the steamers!
Please tell me in the future she will meet up with her lima twin sisters.
Are you looking for helpers? I would love to help out.
NKP 587’s tender
Why is 567 tender in the shop
It is so sadisfying to look at a steamlocomotive driving slow. Because all of the moving parts.
Otherwise great coverage
587 looks sad
why was csx there??
You got me.
She’s a beautiful girl.
6:06
next phase *SLEEP*
And there she sat forevermore in pieces a plenty scattered all over the floor. 2716 left the safety of the museum shed for the excitement of a chop-shop run by Billy Bob Campbell and Slime-ball Jimmy Sobczynski.
You are a liar! Please stop this hate. You just want attention and it’s not doing you good.
