Triple headed steam train

Somewhere on this forum in the last week or so I saw a post by someone who referred a triple headed steam train and another person replied saying that he would need to 'see it to believe it.'

I don't know if the original 'poster' was able to demo it or not and don't have the time to go back and try to find the posts, but last night when looking for something else, came across this you tube of a triple headed train in the US. The third loco looks like a PRR T1. It only appears for 2 seconds about 20 -22 seconds in from the start. Actually surprised me too as I'd never heard of triple headed steam in my country

Happens now & again in the UK, but not a common sight.

Nimec - We've seen it here too, on excursions - I recall a triple-header Ja combo back in the 70s which I took photos of on the Pomare Bridge on the Hutt Valley Line.
There will be others here who may even have been on that particular excursion.
