New York, Susquehanna & Western 2-8-2 142 operates on the Delaware River Railroad of Phillipsburg, New Jersey. The engine puts on a good show with a six-car train as it follows the former PRR line along the Delaware River.

This SY type was built by the Tangshang Locomotive Works in China in 1989. It originally ran on the Essex Steam Train, but was sold to the Susquehanna Railroad in 1992 for special excursion operation. Since 2005, the 142 has been operated by the NYS&W Technical & Historical Society on the Belvidere and Delaware Railroad, aka the Delaware River Railroad.

    Much enjoyed, thank you. Impressive pace and sound from this loco. Loved the parallel filming from the road... unusual for us to see road and rail so close together without a barrier but it makes for great video. Best wishes, Bob K.
  • That engine sounds sharp! Someone knew what they were doing when they set the valves.

    I like this engine! I think my grand parents rode on in upstate New York in 1996-98

    I would like to go back to this railroad once their done with her rebuild. It has been awhile since I've visited there
  • im not a big fan of chinese engines in america, But they did an excellent job making her look American. its Almost Un Noticeable, Besides the cab.

    SHE'S ALIVE! Oh my god this is one of my most favorite steam engines on the face of the planet, and she's so young too! I just wish they kept her Chinese whistle, like IAIS did with their QJs.
  • @atsfevan0242
    Hope to see her running again in a few years. Since this is 142's first rebuild and his been undegoing it for 2 years since she entered it. I'd say with 2 years of work gone by now she might be ready by 2022 or 2023 if all goes well but not gonna jinx it
  • This steam locomotive is actually Chinese built. It was ordered from China by the Valley Railroad of Essex Connecticut and today it operates excursions on the New York Susquehanna and Western Railway under a historical society.
  • @brazenzebra
    Neat video! Thank you. So, steam locomotives have a whistle (as in "I heard that lonesome whistle blow"), and diesels have a horn?
  • Wasn’t frank Capalbo working for the Delaware RIver Railroad now, because he worked for BR&W in the 80s and 90s
