Found this wonderful video of freight being pulled by steam engines.
Sit back, go to full screen and enjoy!
(and don't forget to turn up the volume!)
A
compilation of clips of steam powered freight trains operating on
preserved lines. We are fortunate that our preserved lines restore and
operate the goods vehicles as often no revenue is earned from them, but
they do give an excellent impression of how things used to be. Locos and

Great collection of locomotives. I especially liked the one with two, pulling and pushing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Terry! Lots of great engines there! :o)
DeleteI shut down my blog in case you hadn't noticed. I have more time to visit my friends blogs now. I love trains! I dad worked on trains!
ReplyDeleteIt's mighty hard to stop blogging, Mr. Rat! FNS is all about steam things, mostly trains, but sometimes other stuff I find while wandering around the webz. I bet your Dad had tons of great stories about the railroads! (bet they would make some interesting posts) :o)
DeleteWOW!! I swear I can feel the ground shake under my chair!
ReplyDeleteAren't they beautiful!?!
Oh, yest they are! Good thing I don't live near the tracks anymore - I would never get anything done around here! I'd be a-waiting for the sound of the trains!
