- On December 29th 2018, Train Chamber visited Knotts Berry Farm to railfan their Ghost Town & Calico Railroad. Expecting to see D&RGW C-19 #340, the Railroad had Broke out RGS C-19 #41 for the Holiday Season. Equipped with a D&RGW 5 Chime, We follow RGS Consolidation #41 Around the park. Special Thanks to the Crew for letting me up in the cab for a little tour.
Rio Grande Southern #41 is a C-19 Class locomotive Built in 1881 But the Baldwin Locomotive works. C-19 by the D&RGW classification system denotes the wheel arrangement, "C" for consolidation, and "19" For 19000 Pounds of Traction Effort. Locomotive #41 was built for the D&RG as #409, but was sold to the Rio Grande Southern in 1916, and was renumbered to #41. In 1951 she was Sold to Knotts Berry Farm to Operate on their GT&C Railroad. There she was covered to oil, and still operates to this day.
The Ghost Town & Calico Railroad was built in 1951 and officially opened in 1952. The roster consists of two C-19 class consolidations, RGS #41 (Named Walter K.) and D&RGW #340 (Named Green River), and RGS Goose #3. The Rio Grande Southern #3 was purchased for special occasion during the off-season of the park, when hostling a steam locomotive isnt necessary. In 1973, D&RGW K-27 #464 was purchased and converted to oil, but due to clearance issues was sold to the Huckleberry Railroad where she still runs today. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

What a nice video. I grew up going to Knott's and smashing pennies on the tracks. Worked a summer as a conductor on the train before my first job in my actual career and while technically we weren't supposed to do it, I couldn't say no to guests who wanted one. Would always sneak one on the track for them, or pre smash them and swap it as a magic trick for the kids. I still have my hat - had to buy it online myself because the only spare that kbf provided was too small.
Neat story! Thanks for watching.
Awesome whistle
Agreed!
Great video. Next year, 2020, I have to go visit that railroad. The only gripe I have with 41 is that there is no front coupler. Oh well.
Thanks! Im not a fan of that pilot either, but they do have 340 up and running again, i was surprised to see 41 running.
I just like how there’s a train robbery going on and Jo is just like *“nah fam, I ain’t about that life. Imma keep railfanning......”*
That is true I didnt care lol
This is really cool, I just visited knotts berry farm and saw 340. Gotta say these are some really nice engines that are thankfully in operation
Agreed! I wanna go back because you can get a cab ride in their engines
That would be really fun, would like them to blow the whistles at full blast more often
@@TheBNSFengineer Not just full blast but maybe more often too. They only blow the whistle around that one curve near the shops
Agreed
GREAT footage, my wife & I are Season pass holders and really enjoy all of the trains at Knott's we visited yesterday Dec. 30th we just missed you. I posted a couple of videos also from previous days and hope to post more especially when #340 breaks out. I was told it was working but they might wait till March?????. You just got another subscriber from me :)
Thanks for the comment! Knotts Berry farm is an awesome place. I was actually surprised to see 41 running because i thought that since 340 was newly operation they be using her instead.
1. Very smooth first shot!
2. 0:52 Wheel slip already... I remember in my CN 89 vid, 89 slipped without pulling anything.
3. 1:19 Nice

5. 3:23 Jeez! Where’s the Sans?
6. 4:06 Chama NM? Cumbres and Toltec?

10. 6:43 Train-bridge shot +490 points
11. 7:43 Great shot!
12. 8:41 Probably some of my favorite narrow gauge drive gear. Slightly white walled, yet smooth and simple.
13. Nice shot! I’ll have to try more of these kind. I haven’t done many of these, but they’re fun to film.
14. 10:30 GG #3! 😮
15. 10:45 “WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR HAND?!” XD
16. 11:59 Felt the warmth of the boiler?
17. 12:40 Like that shot with the two different forms of rail transportation!
18. 13:09 340 on the right?
19. 14:07 “Durango” Wonder what that’s referencing...
20. 15:35 Did one of these with 63. Well.... something like that...
21. 17:58 Ooo
22. 18:03 Pretty marker lights +500 points
23. 18:11 Like how the steam us clearly outlined by some mysterious light.
24. 18:48 Woh
25. 20:17 Well... there’s a blooper...
26. 20:38 Those lanterns (also called marker lights?) tho
1. Thanks! I usually dont like to go without a tripod but i had to for this trip.
2. Im Pretty sure oil and grease from the locomotive dripped down onto the rails... hence all the slipping around the depot area.
3. Her cylinders are in very rough shape..... rip
4. All you have to do is ask and they'll let you in!
5 . I think you mean sand.... but i guess they just didnt have the sanders on, even if they did i know there is sand in the engine because there was sand around the rails.
6. These cars are Original D&RGW cars. The D&RGW named that coach Chama for the service-area of the time, now what is the C&TSRR
7. *slip*
8. *slip*
9. *slip*
10. THanks! it was a nice shot but i have to clean some dust off my lense
11. Thanks again! I rested my camera on the fence if you couldn't tell lol
12. Simple, Sweet, Gets the job done :D
13. (plz insert timestamp) (Ill assume 9:07) Thanks! This shot was actually filmed right out side a service pet relief area XD
14. Goose #3 is the only one that left Colorado
15. "What is that on your head"****** But, its my s a n t a h a t
16. Yes i did! In the heat of the sun it just made it warmer
17. yee, RGS C-19 and RGS Goose
18. Indeed, tis D&RGW 340
19. Well like i said earlier, authentic D&RGW equipment sooooooo
20. Its a really neat shot when they come straight at you.
21. n i g h t

24. *slip*
25. f e l i z n a v i d a d
26. I just call them marker lights.
Thanks for commenting yeyeyeyyeyey

1. Thought it may have been mounted on a gimbal if I’m honest...
2. Oh... well that explains it
3. oof
4. social introvert... out of my box. Thats why you don’t see many cab stuff in my vids (I think??)
5. Mmmmaaaaaaaayyyyybbeeeee
10. Didn’t even notice the dust
11. Well, now that you say that, I do notice it.
13. Yea... 9:07. sorry...
15. Head* Blame my hearing loss on being in the high school band...
18. Saw 340 in an America by Rail dvd. Sister engine to 346 of the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado I believe...
@@JerryDoesThings_1604
1. It might be the auto stabilization lense in my camera :p
4. I'm usually like that too, but when i go to these railroads i feel like they can understand the view of a railfan. Whats the worst they can do, say no?
5. or is it that skeletal dude from undertale
10. The little specs really stick out to me...
15. o o f
18. I think they are sisters, even 41 & 340 are, 41 was just sold to the RGS and 340 wasnt, theyre both C-19s built in 1881 after all.
Good job.I love it.
Amazing Video Good job!
thanks
My fist thought was what happened to the pilot? lol
Great video Joe! Love the whistle on this little guy!! Not a huge fan of the new pilot on this locomotive. It looks like a pilot a switcher would have and it doesn’t even have a coupler.
Thanks! and de whistel is good but it could be better if they can blow it louder. The New Pilot makes the locomotive seem like shes missing something..........................
not just a coupler it just feels naked
@@TrainChamber You're welcome. I agree.
is this narrow gauge or standard gauge?
3 Foot Narrow Gauge. RGS 41 Used to run in Colorado until she was purchased by Knotts
@@TrainChamber oh thanks I can tell the difference between standard gauge and narrow gauge but sometimes it confuses me my bad😅
@@evanf1293 Thats fine lol. Im just glad to clear up any confusion ya had
Saw the notification. Can’t watch it right now though.
thats fine
I griega
