Raw Southern 630 cabride

@38fordpickup1 4 years ago

My father's earliest memory of riding a train was being in the cab of the engine sitting with the engineer from Aragon to Braswell GA before he was school age, no more than 5 years old. (he was born in 1919, so early 20's). His father handed him up to an engine crew he knew at Aragon, engine crew handed him down to his grandmother at Braswell. Return trip done the same way.

I rode in the 630s cab from East Chattanooga to Grand Junction back in the mid 80s before her rebuild.Great experience to see a steam locomotive in action and experience what it was like in steams finest hour

My wife and I have been married for 5 years and she has gotten to love trains as much as I do.Doesn't get any better than that.That's right,I'm gonna keep her as long as she wants to keep chugging with me.

Impressive. If I am ever up in Chattanooga again I may have to do this. I almost did it one time but I rode in the coaches instead. Great video.

I liked it when the engineer said "Wanna blow it" at 5:23. I did that at railcamp at TVRM but that time I blew it twice which means go forward

Girl sitting on the left should have work boots on, but still a good video plus it looks like the brakes have been updated to a 26L, nice modification.

Aside from tossing trash into the firebox, this video clearly shows the intense labor of the fireman on a steam locomotive. Very interesting.

At the end of the clip It looked like the engineer put the automatic air brake valve in "handle off" to cut out that brake valve, like he was going to change ends or turn control of the train over to a locomotive on the other end. Did I see that correctly? I was a class I engineer, so I've done that myself a few times. I didn't hear the air dump, so I'm pretty sure he didn't put it in emergency.
