Post subject: | Beatles Video - Mystery Small Industrial Locomotive |
I just bought a VHS copy of the Beatles movie "Help" and during the "Ticket To Ride" video sgement appears a small, green industrial locomotive. Being a Whitcomb locomotive researcher I was wondering if anyone can tell me where this was filmed and if that locomotive was a Whitcomb by any chance? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpris4 ... ster_music The unit appears about the 2:20 mark and lasts about 10 seconds.

Confirmed, Austrian Alps; locomotive is likely of European manufacture, but beyond that, I can't say much. A photo of what appears to be a very similar locomotive is in the link below: http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2006/2/27/122011/817 A lot of those small units looked very similar, from all sorts of builders around the world. http://arts.gov.au/movable/account/case ... colm-moore Shades of a GE 45-tonner: http://vnrailway.blogspot.com/2010/08/v ... tives.html Source of the above image: http://vnrailway.blogspot.com/2010/08/v ... tives.html More industrial power, this from a page on sugar roads in Fiji; the caption claims this to be a Baldwin: http://www.fsc.com.fj/pic/HISTORY/image005.jpg Cane wagon: http://www.fsc.com.fj/pic/HISTORY/image009.jpg Source for the above images: http://www.fsc.com.fj/history_of_sugar_in_fiji.htm |

I was reading something about the Beatles and the movie "Help!" last night and I remembered this inquiry. This should help: The railway is located in Obertauern, Austria. More info can be found on the Narrow Gauge Railroad Discussion Forum. http://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,275581,275683#msg-275683 Tim Davis Detroit, MI |
