ATSF 4-6-2 #3415 Albilene, Kansas on the Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad 2017
Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad steam locomotive #3415 pulls a short excursion train around Albilene, Kansas on the Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad. This steam locomotive is only brought out one weekend a month during the Summer and Fall months.
This locomotive has a lot of personality, and looks like a genuine steam locomotive right out of the 30's with rust, grit, and grime all over her. One of the best sounding whistles I have heard. Video was taken in October, 2017.
Steam Excursion on the Abilene & Smokey Valley RR
An ex-Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Pacific does the honors. The excursion was commissioned by the Santa Fe Railway historical society - June 2016.
190526 Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad Excursion
Nightly heavy rains have flooded some of the track east of Abilene. The Santa Fe Pacific was fired up for the Memorial Day Weekend. This video shows the extraction of the loco from the shed by the ASV's S-1 Alco. Then the process of bringing the Baldwin steamer up to pressure and a cab ride to the depot. Finally, a view from the scrap gondola out into the flooded fields along the line as far as the engineer dared take it.

Historic Old Abilene Town (Abilene, Kansas) in 4K
Old Abilene Town is being restored by a historical group.
On the weekends, from May through October watch the Old West gun fights in Old Abilene Town. Actors recreate gunfights, speaking on local history, and teaching a little gun safety. But mostly educate and entertain the public.
They are restoring this attraction, and a lot of buildings are still in rough shape. It's an open area, and free to visit on any day.

Santa Fe 3415 - Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad
The Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad is located in Abilene, KS. It's an all-volunteer organization which has operated diesel powered trips to nearby Enterprise, KS for many years over ex-Rock Island tracks. In 2009 the group completed restoration of Santa Fe 3415, which they typically operate one weekend per month. 3415 is a 4-6-2 Pacific type locomotive built by Baldwin in 1919. It was decommissioned and donated to the city of Abilene in 1954 for public display. The four year restoration effort was accomplished in late 2008 for around $300,000, bringing the oil burning steam locomotive back to life. If you can make it to Abilene this summer, check in and support this railroad!
The video scenes are from the story about 3415 on our DVD Midwest Steam 2009 - Part 2, available from Yard Goat Images.

Seelye Mansion Abilene Kansas
The 25 room Seelye Mansion was built in 1905 for Dr. A. B. Seelye who made his fortune in patent medicine with the A.B. Seelye Medical Company. The Patent Medicine Museum occupies a former Seelye laboratory which has been moved to the rear of the mansion. The electrical fixtures & appliances and most of the furniture & decorative elements are still original. Other items are only 80 years old, added when Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled the Seelye Mansion's interior in the 1920s. I love the original Edison light fixtures and old Edison music machines that fill the house, but my favorite thing is the lever operated bowling alley which was also purchased at the World's Fair.
