Steam Memories in Black & White


When steam was king, the world was in black and white, or at least most television broadcasts in that era were in black and white. So I present this montage of steam action in black and white!

I was fortunate to experience numerous mainline steam excursions between 2004 and 2019. Most of these are thanks to the Iowa Interstate Railroad, but the Monticello Railway Museum, Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway and Union Pacific Railroad are also represented here.

Action is mostly in Illinois with some in Indiana and Iowa. The final scene, however, is in Colorado on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad's 3-ft. gauge line.

Steam engines shown are MILW 261, IAIS 6988, IAIS 7081, NKP 765, SOU 401, UP 4014 and DRGW 463.

(Save for the first scene, all other video is available on my YouTube channel, and in color!)
