[4K] The Valley Railroad - Essex Steam Train

The Valley Railroad, aka the Essex Steam Train, operates on several miles of former New Haven trackage out of Essex, Connecticut. Since 1971, this scenic line operates north along the Connecticut River to Deep River and Chester. With regular steam operations and finely restored heavyweight passenger cars, it's a great line to relive the steam era. Featured in this video is 2-8-0 97. This 1923-built Alco was originally built to run in Cuba, but ended up as Birmingham & Southeastern 200 in Alabama shortline service from 1926 to 1958. After a brief mainline career in Connecticut and renumbering to 97, it became part of the Valley Railroad roster in 1970. The 97 was the main power at Essex from 1973 to 2010, operating alongside 2-8-2 40. After a few years displayed, the 97 returned to service in 2018. This video shows 97 on several days of regular tourist trains and a Dak Dillon photographer’s special in October 2024. 0:00 Opening 1:08 Departing Essex Station 2:54 Old Deep River Road 5:19 Essex Street 6:11 Deep River Station 7:08 Chester 8:27 Dock Road 9:24 Ferry Road 10:11 Return trip 14:30 Photo Special runbys 20:02 Closer and Credits
