- This video clip deals more with the streamliners. In this video are the Hiawatha, a British A3 Pacific, some Coronation type streamliners, the J3a Streamlined Hudson, the George H. Emerson, and the S1.
There is a short clip from an Alfred Hitchcock movie on the A3 Pacific. The end of this video starts to go into mountain railroading.
There also some clips from the 1939 Worlds Fair.
I'm really loving the buildup of steam and power on the Milwaukee Road's Kuhler F7 4-6-4 there from 1:18 to 2:05. You really get the sense she's unstoppable as she sets out for Chicago from the Twin Cities or vice versa.
The Duchess isn't the name of that streamlined class, Coronation is. Duchess was just the name many of the class carried (Duchess of Sutherland for example).
The third batch were built unstreamlined. All the others lost their streamlining after the war. Sutherland was however re-streamlined recently if you want to go looking for videos of it :-)
1:19 This chuffing sound would be used in Thomas & The Magic Railroad
@AlcoholicSemenStain True but we were best. We made the worlds fastest!
@KH990j There is an American A4. It was British built but we donated it to the USA.
There is also a Canadian A4 and a South African A4. A4s are the best engines ever built in my opinion.
@xxxIronHeadxxx If British steam is gay then you don't like steam engines...
Where did America get the idea of making a steam train if it wasn't a rough copy of our "gay" steam trains?
The thing about the streamlining is almost none of it was effective, and often barely made up for its own weight. An effective design is something like an A4, but a coronation had a basically flat front, with curved tops and bottoms.
@AlcoholicSemenStain How can British steam look terrible when we created the first and the fastest? Get a grip lad! We know how to make steamers. The A4s are a work of art.
Im not 100% sure, its from a railroaders story I heard eyons ago. They also said that the T1 duplex would have been a success if it had people at the throttle drive her a bit differently than standard locomotives. (Just an extra fact.)
WhyAyeMann the poppets where still a major issue, even without wheelslip
CN 6400 is at the Canadian Museum of Science and Tech here in Ottawa.
@KH990j Well hang on! Britain has many types of steamers!
Tender and Tank engines like most nations had/have.
When I think of British steam I think of the A4 classes! They are beautiful machines.
@xxxIronHeadxxx Are you saying that George Stephenson was a drunk? :S
04:44 for Americans and a few others, that engine the coronation or duchess class isn't really streamlined the real engine is under the streamlining
7:23, behind the Dreyfus Hudson, the streamlined Pennsylvania railroad k4 3768 designed by Raymond Lowey
i was the first view of this one
@KH990j whats the name of the video who published it or some sort of lead please!!!
British Steam is as great as American Steam!!!
what is the name of the Alfred Hitchcock movie involving that train chase
Wow Milwaukee Road, you didn't even consider saving ONE of your colorful Hiawatha locomotives, the A nor the F-7. Not even the E7 nor the Erie-Built diesels were saved. :(
God I love the Milwaukee road! It’s so cool seeing the 4-4-2 and 4-6-4 operating amongst each other
A Superb collection of vintage footage, thanks for sharing this wonderfully nostalgic material,,5* Bob
@STOPTHEEU no i'm english
4:19, automobile vs locomotion
@STOPTHEEU I wouldn't say British steam is "gay", but there are design differences; however, I'm not sure how I could describe the difference between British steam and our locomotives besides buffers/knuckle couplers and high/low pitched whistles.
she's still a cool lookin engine though
It's the 1932 film "Number Seventeen".
@Strasburg1991 operating costs, when passenger trains were in their decline it was costing their host railroads too much to operate them and not enough passenger revenue to back up the expenditures, but I still don't get why many railroads scrapped all their streamliners, they were a milestone. I guess too many executives were too busy focused on the pocketbook, than on the historical value.
they should of shown the a4 pacifics
@STOPTHEEU our Hudsons would probably be close to that class but when I think of an American locomotive, I think something like a Consolidation or a Northern class that's big, mostly black in color, held together by lots of large rivets and bolts, and looks like it would be used in the mountains.
@joeferrito :-) At one time I thought all US trains were ugly and slow. After watching this I know how wrong I was.
All steamers are a work of art! :-)
Whats your favorite British steamer? :D
That's an S-1. I believe if you are referring to the line, "the only one ever built" the narrator was referring to the fact that the George H. Emerson was the only George H. Emerson ever built not the only duplex ever built.
@ShaurntheSheep well that's how it was for most steam locomotives. I remember hearing that after the success of the streamliner on the Burlington route and Union Pacific, most other railroads converted their standard passenger locomotives to be streamlined. There are plenty out there that were designed to be streamlined, but it was mostly diesel locomotive (i.e. early EMDs) that were designed with streamlining.
@ShaurntheSheep Personally I prefer the A4 classes. Mainly Mallard.
We did of course give you an A4. The Dwight D Eisenhower!
They haven't shown it in this :-(
my copy is tarting to stop working ;-( i want to get it on dvd does anyone know anything on when and where or if this is happening? if so comment me:)
As far as I know there is no DVD version of this video. I am currently in contact with the producer of this video (if he is ever on) and he's pretty much forgotten about this production. It was only when I posted this on UA-cam that he remembered it.
I like the Illinois Central railroad yard and start up sequence (the deep resonant chuffs of steam and the wheelslips sound great). More of an MKT and MoPac man myself, by the IC was a good road, too.
Any idea what the music is called? I have heard it many years ago. Very good video-thank you.
The exhaust from the cylinders goes up the chimney, where it accelerates through a tapering nozzle called the blast pipe. This lowers the pressure in the smokebox, pulling hot gas from the firebox through the boiler tubes. The harder the engine works, the more heat it puts into the boiler to feed the cylinders. A two- or four-cylinder engine chuffs four times for each turn of the driving wheels, and a three-cylinder engine has six exhaust strokes per revolution.
I don't know, I was also wondering what some of the songs on this video were called as well.
@zdrewbie Burbank Video; they most likely don't exist anymore.
Ooh I'd like t know that music
@TheNw1218 if you could find out too, I would like to know as well.
write back if anything comes of it:) i'd LOVE to have a copy of it on or even better BLURAY
It sure is! What attracted me to your vid is my favorite train, the PRR S1! Of course seing the K4 and the Hiawatha were perks as well. :)
How could it derail itself with that immense weight.
There is something about those streamliner Hiawatha that are so awesomely creepy and inhuman. I love them, and I am sort of scared at that era's cyclopean aspect. These videos are so cool. My 2 year old Son and I can't get enough of these. Thank you for posting them.
I love the fact that you can see the streamlined PRR K4 (you can tell by the flying, winged PRR logo) sitting behind the NYC engine (7:23-7:25).
Yeah, I've caught that already, it is cool to see these two beautiful steamlined steam engines.
thank you
Great video 5* I'm going to watch the rest! Thanks for sharing - Mike
why would the Milwaukee road scrap all their streamliners??
I love those Milwaukee Road streamliner steamers.
0:55 - 2:32 is the best part. I love the hiawtha.
It's titled as final, not 6; it is posted.
@SteffanLlwyd THANK YOU!! I
Question: Could you make a video of how to build the valve gear? Thank you.
@STOPTHEEU Being first isnt being best.
6:45 reminds me of Elvis
Thanks, I've legit been trying to figure this out for years
kh990j thanks for the song
07:50 HA HA! I was just about to say "where's the S1?"
what was the huff chuff that steam engines made? I always thought it was the pistons going in and out (watched thomas the tank engine as a kid), but now I notice it comes from the chimney.
The piston gets steam from the boiler, then the steam, once used, is blown from the chimney. Think of it as an exhaust.
same goes with the nyc and prr =(
It derailed itself by its own wheelslip!
what's the title of the music on 2:03- 2:35?
Love the song!!!!!!
speed records in usa..?
That was wonderful. So what's a few cinders in the eye.?
Siren851 where's that at?
whats the song at 5:52?
WHAT HAPPENED TO PART 6?
120....130...
please tell me the music at 2:01
Charles William rhythm on rails
5*****!
Can someone tell me the music at 2:55
Rule Britannia.
Oops wrong video.
@STOPTHEEU you serious? british steam looks terrible. Americans designs of any road is superior to the best looking brit loco they can come up with.
I just dont know anymore....
@STOPTHEEU - Don't forget Australia and New Zealand.
