I Don't know what it is exactly, but seeing the way the coaches were painted back then really makes me feel a sense of happiness and joy. Honestly, i like the way they were painted back then; with a majority of the coaches painted bright red with yellow striping & the Henry K. Long and open air cars painted yellow. I especially love the way the hello dolly car looked back then, it had a real amusement park look to it; complete with fold in front side steps.

I agree, I loved how the Hello Dolly car was, it was part of the Strasburg history.

Thank you for posting this, Greg! My videos and films were lost years ago. I miss seeing 1223 in action, just saw her "sister" #98 on the Wilmington & Western.

@@phatboy3718he’s referring to Wilmington & Western Railroad 98, which is also a 4-4-0 of similar size to 7002 and 1223. However, they aren’t really sister engines, more like engines of a similar type.

1223 is now in the museum across the street due to a thin boiler/firebox wall. I learned this a few weeks ago when I thought I recognized it as a train I saw working as a kid. I think its a shame she was never repaired, just cleaned up and never returned to service. Why not rotate some of the museum pieces to keep them alive. This goes the same for 7002

Yes your right, but the present museum only cares about preservation of looks, not working.

@@fsctrucking The reason 1223 and 7002 cannot return is because the RRMPA owns the engines. Strasburg RR was willing to make the rebuilds, however the RR Musueum wanted to "preserve the originality" of the 2 PRR Classics, therefore their fires were dropped.

@@GregKelton crews hated her and 7312 was said to be a rough rider so makes since why she won't run again and despite its been nearly 11 years since she last ran I doubt Stasburg will need any more steam locomotives since there happy with the 3 they got (4 if you count thomas)

They are continuing on the restoration on 7312, so she will be returned to operation again. Check out the Wiki of the locomotive.
