Steam & Excursion > Everett Railroad on the GradeDate: 10/22/24 07:30 Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: MaryMcPherson Everett Railroad #11 got some video love last week, so I slow-walked posting this one.
This is a series of shots of the locomotive tackling the grade on the run from Hollidaysburg to Kladder. The video opens as the train rounds the curve, crosses the river, and #11 opens up. I nearly sent Kurt a joke text suggesting that a few wet leaves on the rails would induce a well-timed slip. I didn't do it. He wouldn't have done it. They weren't needed.

Date: 10/22/24 09:18 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: elueck Small engine + heavy train + curves and grade! BIg shout of congratulations to you guys and the Everett Railroad as well!

For those who scoff at diesels being tucked in behind steam locomotives on excursion trains, No. 126 could be an acceptable exception, at least once in a while.

You guys are a force to contend with in the game. Date: 10/22/24 17:36 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: dschlegel Nice job!!
For those that haven’t ridden this line do yourself a favor and check it out. We did last weekend and were thoroughly impressed with the equipment, facilities, and most of all the customer service! Dan Posted from iPhone Date: 10/23/24 05:22 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: agent1522 Thanks Mary for the excellent video.
The Everett Railroad was one of the events during the 2018 NRHS Convention. I was the lucky recipient of a cab ride. Then had a chance to tour the shops and railroad again in 2023. It's an excellent operation and I'm ready to go back and visit again. Date: 10/23/24 15:02 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: DJ-12 Excellent job! Alan Maples and his team at EV run a fantastic operation. The engine is great too and fits in perfectly on this branchline.

And we hope that next time you're up in our area, you'll give The Station Inn Bed & Breakfast a try. www.stationinnpa.com Date: 10/23/24 15:54 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: MaryMcPherson JUTower Wrote:

The video was shot on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th. We were at the Station Inn the 30th through the 3rd, after East Broad Top and before heading to Strasburg. We had the B&O suite. Photos shot with my phone. Mary McPherson Dongola, IL Diverging Clear Productions Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 10/23/24 16:49 by MaryMcPherson. Date: 10/23/24 19:23 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: OHCR1551 Like being there! Thank you for that video. The only thing as nearly perfect as a hardworking steam engine in fall color is a hardworking steam engine in snow, preferably with Christmas decorations.

Mary McPherson Dongola, IL Diverging Clear Productions Date: 10/24/24 20:22 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: RailRat Wow! Another gem from you folks!
You were right there for that wheel slip, and that chilling whistle-echo sound is marvelous, Great scene compositions too! Jim Baker Riverside, CA Date: 10/25/24 17:10 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: ns1000 Great video!!
Date: 10/26/24 07:00 Re: Everett Railroad on the Grade Author: atsf121 Excellent video, really enjoyed the whistle at the grade crossing in the final shot. That engine sure was working hard and sounded great.
