Hi All In the late 1990s the FRA did a video on locomotive inspection while the industry was under the old rules. Does anyone know if the FRA has updated that video to the new rules? Thanks, Robby Peartree |

Is the video in question the one that covers daily inspection? If so, I believe the section of rules governing daily inspections had few changes it and all the items covered in the video are still in effect today. I know of no new video the FRA has produced on steam locomotives. Mike Tillger |

Hi All I should have stated steam locomotive inspection. I am sorry if I caused any confusion. For the record Mr. Conrad of the Valley Railway is in the video and I believe this video is still relevant today in the form I saw it I am interested to know if it was updated. For the record a quick search of a friend did not show it on UTUBE. Robby Peartree |

We maintain it on our YouTube account for in-house use, but I have it as "unlisted," primarily because it may give the lay-person the idea that a boiler event is something that can happen with relative ease. http://youtu.be/0xJav_lPFYo |

I was in a rules class recently that used this video (the new one Kelly is referring to) as part of the day's training. This was the first time I had seen it and I felt it was well done and relevant to any similar training session. I don't think I would show it 'stand alone' to someone who was unfamiliar with locomotive operation for the same reasons also mentioned, unless it was incorporated with other interpretation and training. |

Dear Mr. Kelly Lynch, Thank you for the response. That is the video I remember seeing although I had forgotten the NTSB participation. I found it a good video for use in training crews. Several people with the Nevada Northern had not seen it when I first got there. I was able to get them a copy from another tourist RR. For those of you who have not seen it I believe it was is a valuable presentation. Given the code change since this video was produced I wonder if there is a newer version out there? Robby Peartree |
