On the 4th of July, to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, Arcade & Attica Ran an ALCO Double Header, with both ALCO Locomotives on the Roster, Steam Locomotive 18, and RS3M Diesel Locomotive 114. In this video, enjoy my coverage of the first ever ALCO Double header on the Arcade & Attica Railroad.

Down Walla Watta Way

Walla Watta is the last big curve before coming into the Pinetown Yard. Walla Watta got its crossing signal after a tragic collision between the train and a car load of kids on the way to school. 119 runs every weekday morning between Pinetown NC and the Norfolk Southern Yard in Chocowinity.

Music: Van Morrison, “Tore Down A La Rimbaud"

Greetings from Romania! 🇷🇴 Today we travel 12 hours across Romania aboard one of the most exclusive private trains in the country — Astra Trans Carpatic

Unless you consider the ex UP units on the YVRR, I had not yet seen foreign road locomotives in Winston. I got a good surprise yesterday, finding this by accident.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Union Pacific sent their operational Big Boy, 4014, the largest operational steam locomotive to, Philadelphia to celebrate America's 250th. Although I spent a week with the engine a few weeks ago, I wanted more footage of it out east, especially since I had to cut my original adventure short by 2 Days. So on July 1st, I caught it next to its sister, 4012, then caught the race out of Steamtown with 26, and chased it with 2102 down the Lehigh Line to Nesquehoning. Happy 4th of July, everyone, and I hope you all have a great holiday. @topfans @followers

In the summer of 2026, to celebrate America's 250th, Union Pacific operated a coast-to-coast excursion with their Big Boy 4014, the Largest Operational Steam Locomotive, for a once in a lifetime event! For the first time since the '90s, UP Steam went east of Chicago. I chased it for 6 days between Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Glen Summit, Pennsylvania. This would also include the engine going through my Hometown. Hope you all enjoy my video this week, of this once in a lifetime event!
