Friday Night Steam

These are the types of trains I grew up with.




When we were little, we would always play in the railroad yards until they chased us out:

  1. What a great video. I really liked the steam locomotive helping the diesel up the grade. Heh heh
    Horseshoe Curve is famous and it is great to see it with steam. Found a video about the Curve here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFA48h05HPQ

  2. The footage of the heavy freights slogging up the grade makes you realize just how much weight was being moved.
    The PA railroad seems to have some gigantic tenders!
    I wondered about the structure on some of the tenders and after some Google research, I found they were called doghouse tenders.
    Here is a link to some information.
