Our theme in our search for steam in 2022 was beasts in the east. With the restorations of both Western Maryland Scenic Railroad #1309 and Reading & Northern #2102, we knew we would be headed to Maryland and Pennsylvania. In all, we would capture six locomotives under steam during the year.
Our program begins with a cab ride aboard Southern Railway 2-8-0 #401, back after her F.R.A. mandated boiler inspection and overhaul. Four cameras were mounted on the locomotive, and the crew’s banter is part of the show as they go about their work. During the July weekend we were filming, #401 was sporting the Illinois Central steamboat whistle the producer donated to the museum.
In late August, we traveled to capture Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 #765 pulling a pair of weekend excursions from Edon, Ohio, to Hillsdale, Michigan. Waiting for the train in Hillsdale were both locomotives of the Little River Railroad based in nearby Coldwater, 4-6-2 #110 and 0-4-0T #1. The pair of small locomotives pulled several out-and-back trips during #765’s layover. On the Sunday run #765 was sporting the whistle of Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis 4-8-4 #576, currently under restoration in Nashville, Tennessee.
During the last weekend of September, we headed to Cumberland, Maryland, to capture the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad’s newly restored former Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309. Despite being in her first year of operation, the big compound articulated had the look of a locomotive working for a living: well-groomed but not spotless. She also put on a great show of smoke and steam through the weekend, particularly when we filmed her departing Cumberland in a thunderstorm.
We wrapped up filming the first weekend of October, as we filmed Reading & Northern 4-8-4 #2102 pulling a fall colors excursion from Reading to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. We heard that the big T-1 was loud, and we certainly found that to be the case as she has to be the loudest steam locomotive we have ever seen! Climbing the grades around Tamaqua, Hometown and Nesquehoning, the locomotive put on some of the most dramatic performances we’ve ever witnessed. Those performances are included in their entirety, and we daresay they are the highlights of the show.
It’s two hours of the best steam footage we’ve ever captured!
