Soo Line steam locomotive 353 barks up hill at Rollag MN



Uploaded by: spencermcgrew
Video Description:
This goes to show that a little engine can make a lot of noise! It is an ALCO built B-4 0-6-0 switch engine, built in August 1920, equipped with power reverse, Walschaert valve motion, piston valves, superheaters, and a 5000 gallon tender. It has two whistles, the larger one is a 6 chime and the smaller one is a 3 chime. The locomotive weighs 150,000 pounds, and it has a tractive effort of 31,200 pounds. It was built to operate at a pressure of 180 pounds per square inch and it continues to operate at that pressure today. WMSTR acquired the engine and modified it slightly; the superheaters were removed, and the footboard on the front was replaced with a boilertube "cow catcher". It also got a new coat of fictitious "WMSTR Railroad" paint. I am 17 years old and I helped in making this engine run for the 2006 show. Enjoy this clip, it is worth the loading time.

Beautiful sight. I wish these wonderful engines still reigned supreme on America's railroads. Imagine what a sight it would be in small towns and big cites across America from sea to shining sea.

Cool to see these 0-6-0's back on the rails. Several hundred thousand were built, but you can count the ones remaining nearly just with your fingers. Ticks me off the only L-5 left on the planet is rusting away up in Snoqualmie.. One of three built. And, there are only two L-9's left. Good job, and I know what it takes to put one of these back to working order.. I was in on the first half of the restore of the NP 1364 S-4. Supposedly, some 30 years later that will be finished..

This was a good vid. Just some camera problems I noticed. Looks like you had a problem with the lens as there were black edges around the picture. But a good vid otherwise.

For a real steam loco action, see double headed articulated Garretts,. Go to my video at- ernietube1 Garretts vs 1960's Diesel Electric Locos on 1 in 40 Bank. Sorry, I find the USA steam loco whistle to be too piercing. I was brought up with the lot beefier sound of New South Wales Government Railways locos. Great video, thanks.
