Wilmington & Western 58: The Fireworks Flyer - 2024 (4K)
After nearly a year, steam returns to the Wilmington & Western Railroad in 2024! Polished and sporting a fresh look, the Veteran's Locomotive, 0-6-0 #58, would be fired up for the annual "Fireworks Express". With a loaded train of patriotic passengers, the stocky switcher navigates the woodlands of Northern Delaware with ease while sporting the haunting melody of a Georgia Railroad Hooter whistle. Bound for Hockessin, the train would trundle into the dwindling evening light for a Fourth of July tradition, a fireworks show! Posed under staged lighting, we watch a spectacular show with 58 and a displayed caboose at the end of Wilmington & Western's trackage in Hockessin. Come along on this colorful steam film celebrating America's birthday in "The Fireworks Flyer" by Keystone Rail Productions!
History of W&W 58:
Wilmington & Western 58 is a product of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, being constructed in 1907. She was used in service as a steam switcher for the Atlanta, Birmingham & Coast and was numbered as 27. After exchanges with various owners and railroads, including the U.S. Army, she returned to service on the W&W dedicated as "The Veteran's Engine" on May 23, 1999, even touting an American flag on the cab. After a 1,472 day inspection in 2017, she returned to service once again and is seen reliably serving the railroad to this day.

    It looks like the second half of the train is painted in a PRR inspired striped maroon scheme, I believe I recognize some of these as ex-Iowa Pacific cars which means they probably painted them recently. I can't wait to see what it looks like when the whole train is painted in a fresh coat and each car is given that makeover. There's just something so satisfying about a full length train in a singular colour scheme, I hope we get to see excursions like that for many years to come.
