As someone who's repaired and made parts for a larger locomotive's boiler, I think the risk of an explosion was overstated. I say this because a smaller locomotive, playing a role in a film called Ring of Fire, fell off a bridge and suffered a broken front tube sheet. This didn't result in an explosion, but a large uncontrolled steam leak that obscured the wreckage and continued until the engine was lying upside-down in the river below. I say it didn't explode because if it did, the steam leak wouldn't have caused the locomotive to pinwheel into the canyon as if pushed and rotated by a jet of steam. It would have simply blown the engine to pieces, and it's still in a surprisingly intact condition lying on the riverbed to this day. There was also a large fireball from the cab when the engine impacted nose-first on a rocky outcropping, further supporting the idea that even if completely broken, the front tube sheet is not guaranteed to cause an explosion, but a rapid leak of steam and possible backdraft explosion.

I just happened to be watching that day, started the live view as 475 was just starting it's run past the cars. I said to a coworker "That switch is not set right, I hope they see it in time to stop!"....

Where is lion? Is she in prison for war crimes?

Friend :)

Good Job. 👏🏼

LOL Great videos! Really enjoy watching them! Thanks for sharing.

0:04 "Back in the hills of.. Somewhere."

I wonder what happened to Ferrybattle

This is amazing and the only reason I keep on donating to the museum

Love the series Jimmy, I cannot get enough of them, can’t wait for part 16

9:17 the moonshine is derailed

Bravo! Can’t wait for episode 16 👏😂🚂

Im highly entertained 🎉

How did you get the british engines to run on american tracks???😊😊😊❤❤❤

That poor Mogul

Thank you for reuploading❤

The Standard 4 tells Scotsman that if he really was the first locomotive to reach 100mph he should really consider doing that again right about now

Really enjoy your trak module builds,I use them for small home layout and get some great ideas from watching your build with detail ,would love to see more ,there’s not much videos on detail idea for trak ,keep up the great work

Great vid, Jimmy! I'd absolutely watch more of these if that's something you wanna do

(Spoiler) Was that boxcar motorized at the end, or was it pulled with a string or something?

2:05 Oops, I think the rear bogies on the Yard Goat's tender derailed...

I just got a K2, #120 by bachmann. Beautiful model.

The Genesis on the flatcars was a great background gag, merry Christmas.

This is an adorable and extremely creative module! I love this so much!

Great video and very nice module. Thanks for sharing.

You’re not the only one on a crazy project, currently working on a kitbash o gauge 4-6-0, it’s my first time doing this so wish me luck.

Great build, Could you please do more Tea and Moonshine?

Having worked at Strasburg for 23 years now, I can assure you that we take safety and situational awareness very seriously. We have had and do have some of the best locomotive engineers in the country, and I will argue that point with anyone until the day I die! And for the record, that includes the engineer involved in this incident. With that being said, we are all human and nobody, I mean nobody, is beyond making a mistake. The first thing this engineer said to me when I spoke with him immediately following the incident was, "This wouldn't have happened if you had been the engineer.". My response to him was, "I am certainly not arrogant enough to think that it couldn't happen to me, I am human just like everyone else and it absolutely could happen to me.". Mistakes happen! Period! Everyone is capable of making them. Let me tell you this, over my 26 years and counting of railroading, I have worked with people that an incident like this happening wouldn't have surprised me in the least, this engineer is NOT one of those people. I have worked with people who would have not even given something like this a second thought and filed it under "sh.... happens" and moved on without a care in the world. This engineer is NOT one of those people! This engineer is the last person I would ever file under the term "Complacent". In fact, quite the opposite. In some ways, unfortunately, this incident will haunt him for the rest of his life, because he cares, and he strives for excellence EVERY day! Since this incident has happened, I have read, heard, and seen a lot of opinions and armchair quarterbacking going on. Mostly from people who have absolutely ZERO railroad experience! And by the way, if you did an "At the Throttle" somewhere where you got to run an engine up and down the track a little under direct supervision of skilled, experienced railroaders watching your every move, you still have exactly ZERO experience and should keep your "expert opinion" to yourself! My advice to anyone out there who thinks this wouldn't and/or couldn't happen to you, regardless of whether you are lifelong railroader or have a Lionel train running around your Christmas tree, check your arrogance at the door and please, please never sit in the right-hand seat of a locomotive because it is exactly that attitude that will result in disaster.

I think it would've helped a lot already if the switch would be put back to straight after having parked the material. It's less dangerous to pass it on the mainline than on the occupied siding.

8:14 Lion! No!

1:03 It's been a year and a half since this prequel dropped, and this is still the only spoken word by Lion.

i wonder what Mallard and the T1's reaction would be if Blue peter came to town with his 140 MPH STEAM SPEED RECORD

oh, man... i love this series! Merry Christmas Jimmy!

Please make more

This is my favorite all the engines coming together and the SP snow consist is amazing and all the yard goats coming together is just heartwarming and the J50 having a moment of actual clarity is a Christmas miracle

WONDERFUL VIDEO

Guess the Tea and Moonshine out of context video needs to be updated now XD

8:00 fun fact: I've been to Strasburg many times, but less at the railroad museum (this is due to the difficult closing time) Edit: never knew that the scrap engine at Strasburg had this story. Cool to know it was the same engine class as 89

Interesting video, thank you for uploading. George Hart also owned Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal locomotives #13 and #14. He had air brakes added to #14 and ran it several times while at York and then leased it to the Black River & Western RR in NJ who ran it a few times and then put it on display. #14 had received a new firebox in the early 1950s, installed by the CNJ at that time. I believe #14 is in upstate New York, partially dismantled. George transferred #13 to the RR Museum of Pa at some point in time. They had it on display and then it was sold to the Age of Steam in Ohio where it is on display.

I've been trying to find maple coffee ever since the CP D10 loco mentioned it. No luck so far. Perhaps just as well. (A beautiful steamer, that one.)

11:33 RF&P

The J50 is sane for once , Fairy Battle has lost it and is chummy with a German and WELL SOMEBODY HAS TO BACK UP

7:00 imagine of three-nine had to wait along with the other 3 trains

Thanks Jimmy.

I've watched this video over and over again; this is such a sweet episode.

10:48 Chadson gets Deported

3:45 How'd the Black 5 even _get there_ by herself?

5:50 Lion NO! That is not a toy!

Can you reupload the last two episodes it got removed
