![[4K] Strasburg Rail Road 90: Starting a Steam Train](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LK0QM3fgICg/mqdefault.jpg "[4K] Strasburg Rail Road 90: Starting a Steam Train
In the heart of the Amish farmlands of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania lies the famed Strasburg Rail Road of Strasburg, Pennsylvania. The Strasburg Rail Road, or SRC for short, has been a staple of the regions tourism since the 1960s. Since 1967 2-10-0 Baldwin Standard Decapod No. 90 has been a staple, too, of this iconic Road to Paradise. Their largest, youngest steam engine has wowed thousands of passengers each year on the 4.5 mile ride through the Amish farmlands from East Strasburg to Leaman Place Jct.
Built in 1924 by the Baldwin Locomotive works of Philadelphia, PA, the 90 was originally owned by the Great Western Railway of Colorado where she hauled sugar beets. Operated until 1967, the 90 has been on the Strasburg Rail Road ever since. Now, nearly a century after being built, she still steams, hauling tourists and railfans alike for the SRC. It has become one of the most recognized and popular steam engines in the world. Theres no doubt that the number 90 is an icon of steam preservation and the SRC itself.
Wed like to give a huge thanks to the SRC, fireman Matthew Flanagan and the SRCs David Lotfi for working with us to coordinate this videos production. This video is the culmination of four months of planning and a month of filming. The Cherry Hill segments (East and West bound) alone were a full day of filming.

![[4K] The 1880 Train - Black Hills Central Steam](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LdkHr8oDJLA/mqdefault.jpg "[4K] The 1880 Train - Black Hills Central Steam
In the shadow of Mount Rushmore is the Black Hills Central Railroad, aka the 1880 Train. This tourist railroad operates an impressive collection and locomotive roster. Operating on former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rails between Hill City and Keystone, South Dakota, the twisting and steep route provides incredible scenery on a unique collection of equipment.
With sharp curves and grades of up to 6% both ways, the Black Hills Central Railroad demands serious power in the busy summer season. From the early days of operation all the way into the 2000s, the railroad would utilize 2-6-2 7 and 2-6-2T 104, but these engines were limited to four or five wooden coaches. With the ever increasing popularity of the operation, the railroad invested in more serious power with former Weyerhaeuser Timber 2-6-6-2T 110 debuting in 2001. The logging Mallet made quite an impression as it handled trains up to nine cars long unassisted.
With the success of 110, the BHC would acquire sister Mallet locomotive 108 from the Northwest Railway Museum of Snoqualmie, WA in 2016. The full restoration of 108 would be completed in October 2020, and the 2021 season would mark the first full summer season for the 108. This marks Black Hills Central as probably the only place one can see sister Mallets operating everyday in the summer, and the 108 put on quite the show.

South Simcoe 4-4-0 136 leads tourist trips out of Tottenham, Ontario on the 4.7-mile long South Simcoe Railway.
The 136 was built in 1883 for then-newly-formed Canadian Pacific Railway. The 4-4-0 has had a long and eventful history. From assisting in the construction of the first Canadian transcontinental route to starring in various movies and television productions, the 4-4-0s 140-year career is nothing short of impressive.
