- The Age of Steam Roundhouse located in Sugarcreek, Ohio, is a private roundhouse housing steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars and other railroad equipment. Needing a place to safely store and restore his fleet of railroad old-timers, our founder Jerry Jacobson acquired 34 acres of farm land located immediately adjacent to the Ohio Central Railroad main line track, and right alongside a road named Smokey Lane. Today the site consists of storage tracks, a store house, coal dock, wood water tank, ash pit, back shop and the jewel of the site, a complete, working, 18-stall, brick roundhouse surrounding a 115-foot turntable and turntable pit. Other than a few, small roundhouses recently built for railroad museums, we believe that this is the first full-sized, working roundhouse built in the U.S. since 1951.
The Age of Steam Roundhouse is more than just a museum and collection. It is a living, breathing roundhouse where talented restoration specialists work to preserve the locomotives, railroad cars, tools and machinery of the glory days of railroading. Public tours are offered seasonally (May thru October) on Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays.
The Age of Steam Roundhouse was constructed and is maintained with private funds donated by the Jerry and Laura Jacobson Foundation, Inc., a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entity.

Who would have thought something like this even exists? Amazing!
Unless any occasional excursions and events can possibly come back to the Ohio Central Railroad in the future. Sounds like a fun place to go and visit in the future.
Not counting railroads built to haul cut timber out of inland mountains
my county had 5 different railways. Mergers left me with the BNSF &
AmTrak. Metal relic digs have been frequent and rewarding.
WOW! Amazing collection and done to reflect the actual operation back in time.
I love seeing the Army equipment!
3:00 Wow they even got an S160!
Isn’t GSMR 1702 a s160
@@SouthernerFloridain2006 yeah so?
@@oregonrailfan7046 1702 is the only operating us-160 here in the US but it's been altered a lot since World War II
Absolutely beautiful God bless the man who thought of this if he has passed may he rest in peace and make people enjoy the legacy he left behind
I just went through here on a tour a few days ago. It is a really nice place to visit. We ever got to go through the shop where they were working
I just got to see this place, great tour
I have Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad screw spike from 1925 and it was laying out on the side of the railroad tracks
I'm coming this summer! :)
Was there today awesome time.
very interesting
great video, thx
Now that they own a Texan 2-10-4 B&LE 641 I will have to to take a trip up there when they get it there, as far as I know only the tender has made it.
I'm sorry but there's just something about USA 2630! I do like me an S160.
Awesome. :-D
Beautiful!
Is there any way you could put the captions in English as well? They are only in Dutch.
Thanks!
Hope to go there before I die
Way cool
Think Strasburg's 1187 could wind up here? Poor girl could use a foundation that actually has time for her
HEY!!
Take care of #1187 (4)
Wow! What was his Occupation? This must of been a lot of bucks

and i am looking for something like that in TX or near TX area, if you anyone can help, thx
Former railways leave clues you may locate in orbital photography.
Farm fields show a discolored line amid dirt where plowing broke-
up rail bedding gravel, seek iron still laid over creeks, hillside cuts,
even train wreckage can be see. Google the Eagle Mountain Railway
east of the Salton Sea to eyeball an example. Do Google Maps, also.
I just visited your establishment and our tour guide that had a white convertible. That sad boiler told us that the number 19 that you have was in the movie stand by me and it was also in the movie emperor the North both are. Lies and not true don't you know that we on Google? Today.
Yes I think that’s really nice where is that and what town and what city thank you very much.
Scott, thanks for watching! Age of Steam is located in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

That spells STAEM... not steam. What the fuck does this have to do with art. This is STEM NOT STEAM
Steam Engines.... STEM is the teaching lingo...
Why do so many idiot video producers think it is so cute to have music playing while people are talking? Make up your mind whether you are doing a concert or an interview.
Just trying to be fancy.... back ground music must be the single biggest complaint on you tube. We need to keep speaking out👍👍👍
It's a shame this museum does not allow to photograph they equipment. I will not visit because of this. Very selfish on the there part.
Photos taken all through the place. No. Issues!!
@@rogerloomis6697 Good to hear. Buy I have to ask. Did you take pictures with a cell phone or a 35mm dslr?
