Southern Pacific Railroad in California in late 1956 and early 1957. SP's steam and early diesels are running the rails throughout this video. I tried to maintain as much of the original film as possible.
Union Pacific M-10,000 Maiden Voyage
zhlédnutí 44Před 14 hodinami
Union Pacific's M-10,000 streamliner took a tour of America, being one of the first streamliner. Known as the "City of Salina", was also known as "Little Zip". Made of aluminum, when the World War II broke out, the railroad felt it had served it's purpose and scaped it out for the war effort. The city in which it is sitting in in this video is unknown, same as the photographer.

1933 Chicago Worlds Fair
zhlédnutí 103Před 9 měsíci
1933 Chicago Illinois Worlds Fair was full of excitement and wonder. From the high towers, with the gondola's passing back and forth, to the latest and greatest inventions to ever be assembled up to this date. To early for color film, it's a shame, I can't imagine the colors. Right now at 90 years old, it was a time to forget the depression and look towards the future.
1933 Chicago Worlds Fair
zhlédnutí 106Před 9 měsíci
Days before computers, Television and color photos in magazines, you had to go to the expositions to see the latest and greatest and in color too. The Chicago Worlds Fair had something for everyone. It was the age of invention and the world was not yet at war. Commercial photo color film would not be available till around 1939.
DRGW narrow gauge Colorado
zhlédnutí 88Před 9 měsíci
The only way to get the gold out and bring the people and goods in, was to use the 3 foot gauge railroads. The Rocky Mountains and other various ranges in Colorado, was a task for only the Strong-At-Heart should undertake. There's gold in Thar-Hills, and men would do anything to bring it out.
Columbus, Delaware and Marion Interurban, Ohio
zhlédnutí 185Před 9 měsíci
The C,D and M interurban is an interesting rail line. What I found out about it, was it closed down in 1933? With the Birney Trolleys and other unit, his is a treasure chest of a by-gone era.

Watch out for Shawn B!
This type of locomotive is really nice. A shame they can't restore the prototype. Sometimes when I look at the train bridge in my area, I can imagine a 9000 class pulling boxcars.
Beautiful 😊
looking for the head waters of the Osage River, forgot about the lakes racing history, wonder if Cigarettes ever made it?
great film, thanks for sharing. Am fascinated by early diesels, especially Baldwins. ( I left the sound on low in case there was going to be some commentary )
your background music ? is very annoying
wow...those street lights!
Honestly, I would like to see one of the two remaining Mohawk locomotives masquerade as the Rexall train. Perhaps the one closest to where I live, No. 3001 at the New York Central Railroad Museum in Elkhart, Indiana.
On the NW corner of 7th and 'bash was a big IBM office building.
The cop on the three wheeler his name was Jim Long. He patrolled downtown and wrote parking tickets. I drove a city bus there for years. Where Cherry street is located, that used to be a canal. It had barges that brought raw materials from the Wabash to factories located in the area. The barges were mule drawn and one of the things they brought to a particular factory was mussels that were dredged for then hauled to a button factory via the barges. In that same Terre Haute House area was a brewery, a dairy processing plant and ice cream factory and of course Clabber Girl. I remember Sears and Roebucks was right next door to J.C. Penney. That was when they had the old black men sitting on stools in the elevators operating them. You would pay for your purchase, the clerk would put your money in a metal can and hook it on a chain that took it up a flight to a cash office and return your change the same way.
By the way, if any of you thought it was scrapped no it is in rail Giants train Museum located in Pomona California they open every time La County fair opens they restore the trains they have more familiar ones like 3450 Santa Fe engine and 5021 another famous engine you can blow the whistles and ring the bells Southern Pacific 5021 is allowed whistle so you cannot blow it at the museum. It is a special thing that you could do and rare. And the diesel that they were replaced big boy 4014 yes, this place is the home of Big boy 4014 if you’re in California, it’s one of the best museums to go to located in the corner it’s like a secret gem at yellow gate near the police station
So sad there's really nothing left of this in charles city. I remember theine still had tracks in the early 80s down to marble rock. I don't think they had been pulled up yet. Not sure i remember the path to Cowell. I think the track right of way is now a bicycle trial around chuck town, but no left over right of way to marble rock or Cowell.
2:00, best guess that's the Los Angeles Ltd, circa 1951, passing the Borie Dispatch Tower on Sherman Hill. Great footage, thanks for sharing!
Great video. Many thanks for all you do.
Omg, CB&Q 637 is my favorite locomotive in existence. It used to sit in a park in Aurora a block away from my first house. It was taken away shortly before I was born. But I always admired pictures my parents had of it, and it was always my favorite thing to see at the Illinois Railway Museum. I never would’ve guessed any footage of it actually running existed. Thank you so much for the video!!!
2:44 I like how he talks about engine personality as if he were an engineer in Thomas and Friends.
Steam engines were so inconsistent engine-to-engine (not through the fault of the manufacturers, just the nature of them) that they really did seem to have personalities - no two of any class run quite the same.
I'm a fireman for a tourist steam railroad and I can tell you that they for sure have personalities. We have two sister engines, both mallets, and they fire and run incredibly different from each other. They also have good days and bad days. Sometimes they're in a great mood and fire hot and pull well, and other days you have to fight the heck out them to make it up the steep hills.
I was at LaGrange Road in 1959 when #6315 and #5632 pulled in westbound. The noise and the smoke was unreal and literally buried everything in smoke and steam for blocks around. I also rode the 1964 "Gold" special behind #5632. IMHO It is nothing short of shameful that no CB&Q main line engines, the S-4 and O-5, are even being considered for operational restoration even though many are on static display waiting for the call.
wanna restore the locomotives.
Same class as the USS Detroit, she was our supply ship back in the 90s, every time we went out we had her with us.
I noticed the scene where the engineer and conductor checked their watches. This was very important, as they had to run the trains according to the schedule to prevent collisions, etc.. I recall, from when I worked at CN, the crews could not adjust their watches. That would be done by a local jeweler hired by the railroad. I also recall a synchronized pendulum clock, with mercury filled pendulum weights, to regulate the clock. These days, the local light rail lines use Network Time Protocol (NTP), with a GPS receiver for stratum 0, as the clock source.
Born in TH and have many memories of the city back in 50’s and 60’s. Grandfather was Superintendent of City Cemeteries including Highland Lawn out east.
Omg.. that’s me walking in front saying “hiiii” and waving! Good lord that was a long time ago.
Not very long.
I have my grandfathers boat from the 1930s😊
must have been kn thg he dzys when the class 1 railroads WANTED people beside pussguts working for them
Terrific video, really got a kick out of it! I really dig the Q; perhaps I just look in the wrong places, yet it seems that there are more videos of underdog busted railroads (Rock Island is lead example number 1) than the first class operation of the Burlington.
RIP UP 9031 at least UP 9000 is still around
0:08 you can see UP 844 on the freight number board and the rest of the locomotive numbers on that board are scrapped, little the workers that day know that 844 will be the only steam locomotive to never retire on the UP system, lol
thank you for uploading this video!!! i am proud to say that i created this video for all my shipmates xoxo don't even have a copy now :(
Magnificent!!! Thank you.
Righteous.
The First Locomotive shown is a General Electric E-44 Freight Locomotive. Not a problem, I like watching any PRR videos with any of their Locomotives
Fantastic PRR footage. Wonderful. Please post more of your 3000 videos. I am especially fond of the electric locomotives and the PRR electrification generally.
The first few scenes are on the PRR's Buffalo Line just south of the yard at Northumberland. The NP footage begins with the MILW diesels.
Now the city looks like a dump. What went wrong?? It looked great back in a days..
A lot of people say Walmart and Kmart is what cause the decline of Terre Haute
This is amazing footage! Thanks for sharing!
FAbulous collection of Burlington greats! You have a 2-10-4 (none were saved), O5a 4-8-4's (a few were saved, but most went to the torch in prime condition), and a Hudson ( several were saved). Great sense of steam power at its best.
the P5 freight puts that around 61 or 62. most were O/S by 63 and all retired by 65 I would also put the shot of the SPEANO ballast work train around the same, 65 or 66
Not a single car covered in graffiti imagine that
No more Pennsylvania railroad no more Baldwin No More Steam no more passenger trains what happened to america?
It takes two with talent to run a steam locomotive.... Class!!!
Love the delmarva footage,
Its the only video with the real whistle of 9000 series
Outstanding footage, Love to see more! Music needs a rethink :)
I don’t know why but I’ve always called 9000s “USRA heavy 4-12-2s”. Also that 5 chime sounds just like the Polar Express whistle.
This video starts with an E-44 hauled freight. 2:30 for a line up of P5a electrics. Also seen are GG1's, EMD Geeps, EMD F series and E series and later on BT-24 centre cab diesels. 24:46 for Baldwin RF-16's.
My uncle graduated Elgin High School class '38. I didn't see him. LoL
This is crazy to see I was born and raised in Elgin and still live here too. Born in the old Sherman hospital. Class of 2011 Elgin high, live right off the American legion
Nice job, Bruce!
Thanks so much for sharing! I was the third generation of men in my family to graduate from Elgin High School: my grandfather was class of ‘36, my father class of ‘69, and I was class of ‘07. In the beginning of the video was a family headstone for “Gromer”. The Gromer family used to own a few grocery stores in Elgin and was actually quite close with my own family.
