I must admit I was skeptical about the new Pennsy T1 project for a while, but I am DEEPLY impressed by how much they've accomplished. They just might pull off the seemingly impossible! Hope 5550 is completed and runs for decades to come.
I don't understand why everyone was so mad that the pennsy T1 project was gonna try and Break the world steam speed record I mean all they're trying to do is prove that it can be done because if they're right the T1 could do it anyway when they were a thing in the 1940s I mean with the poppet valves there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to do it Maybe they'll even be able to prove that it was economical to run That it was able to compete with diesels and be able to run cargo for less than 50 cents per mile And passengers for less than 70 cents per mile The New York central Niagara's got pretty close To giving diesels a run for their money 💰 the Norfolk and Western railway as well did put up a good fight for the clearly superior locomotive design that is steam locomotives no Stinking diesels in this place
@@barakmiller2890 Well, the N&W J actually did end up being more economical than the set of two EMD E6s it was compared to from tests done from late 1945 to early 1947.
I think it would be nice to see a revival of the Ace 3000 project to see if it even would have worked after the whole oil crisis Of the 1970s and everything Considering the whole crisis with Russia causing oil prices to shoot through the roof now a days I bet the Ace 3000 project wouldn't be that bad of an idea There's 2 ways we can go either have a coal fired steam locomotive or have electric locomotives
And please join in if anyone has any more ideas I think this conversation could be interesting Like I have a soft spot in my heart for the Union Pacific steam turbines 1 and 2 And I love the N&W y6A and y6B locomotives As well as the N&W A class locomotive
The H6 "Mallets" are the closest things we have left to the H7 "Simple Simons" class of locomotive. They were generally very similar, the biggest difference being that the H7 was a 2-8-8-2 rather than the 2-6-6-2 of the H6.
My son really loves trains 🚆🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂🛤 especially steam locomotives 🚂 like 1309 there. He also hopes that very soon the track right next to the one they currently use and the rest of the line from switch #9 to Connellsville PA is rebuilt and used again for both passenger and freight trains he really believes that the Western Maryland Connellsville subdivision would still have its uses today if it was kept intact.
A great train done right. Congratulations from an old volunteer from the 90's and #734 era. I still have photos I took of its rebuild in the shop and its first run.
It’s original whistle was stole before the engine ever even made it to the B&O museum, let alone making it to the WMSR. So unless it turns up one day, I’m afraid 1309 wearing her original whistle is unfortunately impossible.
The most beautiful steam locomotive ever made! The whistle sounds absolutely music to my ears! Love to see it in person one day. Absolute beautiful machine.
That sounds like LIRR 39 and PRR 1361! That PRR T1 Whistle on 1309 would be on 5550 when it’s completed soon! It was also on GTW 6325 back in the days of the Ohio Central Railroad System pulling Steam excursions on the mainline!
Amazing footage including the magnificent close ups of the running gear and of course that awesome steamboat whistle. Greetings from the Train Lord in South Australia
Fun fact, this thing has more tractive effort than the UP 3985! So yea, definitely no slouch! The slipping here in particular occurred when the engineer was changing over from compound to simple mode, which increases the tractive effort from 77900 up to 98300. Quite a surge in power. You'll see the spray of steam just before each slip, which is when the engineer was attempting to change modes.
@@KLTrainz Would it be the engineer switching it over or the valve inside the steam chest doing it? I remember in trains magazine DVD they did the one guy was talking about the steam engine can switch between Simple and compound automatically with this valve or the engineer can over ride the valve from the cab. I'm not to familiar with the design as not many engines could switch between the two setups.
Great Job! I love your filming, nice to see you get footage of both whistles, also nice job catching the shot of the doe and fawn! Keep up the fantastic work!
I thought this was a large locomotive until I sat my PFM model next to an Allegheny. It looks like a toy next to an Allegheny yet had 98k tractive effort
Great video, Vince! Your shot at the Truss bridge has me extremely jealous I didn't shoot that lol. By far your best shot in the video. I was at Helmstetter's and sadly the sun was behind the mountain. I will definitely have to try that next time!
I think it's time for manufacturers such as BLI to produce a plastic (meaning reasonably priced) model of this locomotive. I would love to have one myself! I think models of restored locomotives would be good sellers....what do you think?
I can't believe that 12 wheels and that much weight on dry rails, could slip like that. I wonder if at that point the engineer put her into working simple mode and not compound, because in simple it makes 97,000 lbs of tractive effort.
This is mainly due to the cylinder packing leaking, which is common after restorations, and the fact that a large scale restoration like this locomotive has never been done before.
In other words, she doesn’t have 2 whistles, just one, but any steam engine can have its whistle easily swapped out. However, 2102 is an example of a steam engine that DOES wear 2 whistles, her original freight hooter and her 6 chime.
Awesome video! I especially like your shots of the wheel slip and the river crossing. I was wondering - would it be okay if I use a few seconds of this footage in a video that I'm working on? It's not for monetary purposes.
Beautiful locomotive, and very nicely shot and edited video. I enjoyed it, although it's always disappointing to see a diesel locomotive hiding somewhere in the train.
How is the stem engine pulled? In reverse or neutral or does.it help the diesel engine going backwards? Second question is does the engine need special licensing to run run both steam and diesel or once they get certified they can run any engine on the line?
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 they actually own one, they tested it before 1309 was fully restored. The Western Maryland has a video of them blowing the whistle, just search WM 1309s whistle here on UA-cam if you want to hear it.
@@KeystoneRailProductions That makes sense. I guess with just how old these engines are you would want a want a backup just in case. I rarely see them on steam locos in the UK but it seems to be only here in the US.
Just out of curiosity, what video camera do you use? I'm thinking about upgrading mine from the handycam to the professional series your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
All of WMSRR steam locomotives sound out of time. 734 had an off rhythm. So does this one. I know it’s articulated. Listen to all the others out there. This one still sounds off. Instead of “I think I can” it sounds like “I thinki can”.

The other big difference was the H7s, as the nickname implies, were simple articulateds. H6s were compounds.
In addition to the 2 additional drive axles, the H7 had a much larger boiler.
That's one beautiful engine. And that whistle. OMFG. Orgasmatic
Look at that thing very big and the whistle sounds lovely

10:30 you would never expect a 12 wheel articulate that heavy to wheel slip but clearly these USRA designs weren't slouches when it came to power!

Excellent production!
I’m wondering what purpose that small exhaust stack ahead of the main smokestack serves.
It the exhaust out of the steam airpumps on the front
It looks like it's the steam exhaust from the two air pumps (compressors) mounted on the front of the smoke box.
Her sister C&O 1308 is on static display in Huntington WV, I hope someday they’ll restore that too
Fantastic Would we have New York Central J3a Streamline Hudson 5406.
Why do your comments make no sense?
Amazing😍
Is there a reason why she emits so much steam in various places...?
This is mainly due to the cylinder packing leaking, which is common after restorations, and the fact that a large scale restoration like this locomotive has never been done before.
What's with the 2 different steam whistles? Never heard that on a steam locomotive before...
So, when was this steam engine rebuilt? It looks and sounds fantastic.
It recently returned to revenue service earlier this year.
Why exactly does 1309 have two whistles? I’ve never actually seen that before on a steamer
This was documented over two days. The crew changed the whistle on the second day.
In other words, she doesn’t have 2 whistles, just one, but any steam engine can have its whistle easily swapped out.
However, 2102 is an example of a steam engine that DOES wear 2 whistles, her original freight hooter and her 6 chime.
The 7470 up at the Conway Scenic Railroad had 3 whistles on it at one point.
They briefly had it switched out to let the T1 trust test the whistle intended for #5550, the Hooter is already back
Awesome video! I especially like your shots of the wheel slip and the river crossing. I was wondering - would it be okay if I use a few seconds of this footage in a video that I'm working on? It's not for monetary purposes.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! I’m glad you asked but unfortunately at this time I would prefer the footage not to be distributed.
No problem, thanks anyway 👍
How could the driving wheels on 1309 be controlled separately unlike on 4014 and 3985?
Why a "normal" sounding whistle at times and a hooter whistle at others? Beautiful detail shots. Which was the real whistle they used?
Great video!!
New viewer and subscriber here.Love the old locomotive videos.What times of the year does this run?Thanks
Beautiful locomotive, and very nicely shot and edited video. I enjoyed it, although it's always disappointing to see a diesel locomotive hiding somewhere in the train.
Thank you! Unfortunately it’s a somewhat necessary with steam in the 21st century.
What happened to the whistle 😕, no more freight hooter?
The hooter has since been reinstalled.
How is the stem engine pulled? In reverse or neutral or does.it help the diesel engine going backwards?
Second question is does the engine need special licensing to run run both steam and diesel or once they get certified they can run any engine on the line?
Diesel engines are required for just their breaking capability if I remember correctly. Everything else is powered by the steam engine locomotive
Nice video, do you know any good spots to chase here and how to get to them, Thanks-Jack
It sounds like LIRR 39, PRR 1361 and Grand Canyon 1220.
Around what time in the morning does she cross the river into Maryland to pick up passengers?
10:30-10:45
@@KeystoneRailProductions thank you!
It’s time for her to wear a Western Maryland whistle!
Like the Potomac whistle?
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 they actually own one, they tested it before 1309 was fully restored. The Western Maryland has a video of them blowing the whistle, just search WM 1309s whistle here on UA-cam if you want to hear it.
How are they running both whistles? Are they running off of the same locomotive or separate?
Does it have two whistles or am I missing something?
As noted in the description, this was documented over two days where the whistle was changed.
@@KeystoneRailProductions ah I see.
Very cool! Why is there usually a diesel locomotive at the rear of the train when it's being pulled by a steamer?
The diesel in this case is used in case of mechanical failure and for leading the return trip.
@@KeystoneRailProductions That makes sense. I guess with just how old these engines are you would want a want a backup just in case. I rarely see them on steam locos in the UK but it seems to be only here in the US.
Damn that's a big boi
I miss the N&W hooter whistle
If there was a 3 chime Hancock from a scrapped K2 or K2a I would be stoked
@@nicholasmedovich8691 Yeah so would I the Hancock 3 chime whistle is one of my favorite whistles
The hooter is already back, the PRR 3 was just visiting for a few days.
@@CaptainCrutch Yeah I saw that when I watched the whole video
Is 1309 too long for the turntable at Frostburg?
1309 has been measured to fit on the turntable. The only issue is 1309 is unable to navigate the curve leading to the turntable.
@@KeystoneRailProductions is that why they have a diesel on the back for the return trip?
@@KeystoneRailProductions will the fix the curve to allow 1309 to get to it?
@@Schmitty-zm7fz the curve is supposed to be fixed eventually
@@Schmitty-zm7fz this is indeed why the diesel is on the back
It has 2 whistles?
The hooter has been reinstalled by now, it was temporarily using the whistle intended to be used on PRR T1 #5550 when it is finished around 2030
Just out of curiosity, what video camera do you use? I'm thinking about upgrading mine from the handycam to the professional series your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Canon 90D
What type of camera do you use?
