The 1702 was built by Baldwin for the Army Transportation Corps but somehow was not shipped overseas. The Warren & Saline River RR in Arkansas got it after WWII ended. The Reader Railroad in Arkansas got it from the W&SR and rebuilt it for use to spell the 11 and 108 2-6-2's. After the Reader shut down as a common carrier, the GSMR bought it. They installed roller bearings on it during rebuilding to help reduce operating and maintenance costs. The Southern Rwy used to operate 2-8-2s on the Murphy Branch.

I love 1702
Because it-s a refurbished and ex USTAC S160 class used over in Britain by the us army transport corps during the Second World War,
Being a kid I want to ride this but do they really need to have the diesel at the end and do a push pull can-t they find a place to run around 1702, but anyway great vid mike, kudos to you.

Hey Mike, you should explore the Boone and Valley Scenic Railroad in Boone, IA. It's really cool. They have Metra's original Highliner Bombardier cars. Also, you should check out the Stone Mountain Railroad. It's really fun. What do you think, Mike?

I grew up in the Dillsboro depot, and spent alot of time on this train. I was lucky enough to ride the steam engine several times as a young boy, as the honorary fireman. Thanks for posting so I can share with my son! Great video as always Mike!

Beautiful scenery, crystal clear video, amazing shots. What else is there to ask!
Side Note: Are you sad to see SP 2472 leaving Niles Canyon and going to the Eureka area.

Some folks think the sound of a the whistle sounds sad and lonely. But I don't. I think the sound of a steam engines whistle is exciting. It sounds like adventure to me.

Great video. If you're ever in NC again go up to Boone, NC and check out the Tweetsie RR. It's a small narrow-guage RR up in the high mountains.

Whenever you can, you should chase the tuckasegee river excursion. In my opinion it-s a better chase. Great video by the way.
