Hey! Ive been visiting the NCTM for a while and I was wondering how old you have to be to volunteer.

1 : 00

It’s one of these cool places that I go there every year to volunteer!

was vdoing good with the history until you changed the song leaving out the black greasy fireman. grow a pair and play the song as it was written.

The site where the wreck happened between Locust Lane and Riverside Drive is overgrown with trees and vegetation. Dan River Mills used to operate nearby the site of the accident. Danville is my hometown and the history of the city is very interesting.

I believe that’s Mr. Lane. Had him in the cab when I ran Jeddo Coal #85 a few years ago. Enjoyed talking with him. Great instructor.

Hey NCTM I have a question. Will 611 return to Spencer Someday? I know you guys probably can’t ask that question since it’s owned the vmt but thanks! Awesome video!

NCTM is the best

My favorite locomotive and my favorite railroad! Thanks for sharing! Very cool!

Love the transportation museum happy to be the 300th view on this video!

July 9:2024 visited in May 2024 awesome and amazing

Tartaria train found after the reset big flood in19th century?

Who is the Hall Steel Family?

There is still a roundhouse in Nashville, TN. (Radnor Yard). Still in use by CSX.

I began my railroad career at the Interbay Roundhouse in Seattle. I worked there 5 years before I went into the operating department.

If you're ever in Evanston Wyoming. They are fixing up one as a museum a little at a time. Salt Lake City had one for Denver and Rio grande. Ogden Utah had one for U.P.R.R. and I've seen a KZbin video about one in Alaska that's out in the woods and the turn table is still around and can be rotated buy pushing it with one hand while walking. I've always enjoyed the look of them. The only other one Ive seen in person was in Austria and the building was in excellent condition but the railway was nolonger useing it.

with scaletrains creating this beauty I ordered one and in my 'world' Yall have loaned this to my Tennessee Valley Railroad museum ( my layout is set somewhere along the Tennessee River midway between Chattanooga and Knoxville) She is such a beautiful engine!!!

Yo I’m going today

AWESOME! I’ll be there but for the 100th anniversary event!

I got out of amphibia and moved on to something else

This Is Great Watching The History Of Southern Railway FP7 #6133 And Southern FP7 #6900 😊😊😊 🚂🚂🚂

Gulf, MO-BEEL and Ohio

These narrow hallways hark back to a time before all day breakfast was a thing.

Those Shays are cool looking locomotives. Not much in to trains but I like it.

In Greensboro where the Sourhern RR roundhouse was you can still sort of see where it is, you can see the old tracks sticking out of the concrete connecting to the NS rail yard.

My great grandpa was born and raised in Lexington North Carolina, he told me during 1945 when he was 7 or 8 years old, his family walked miles to see the FDR Funeral Train pass by Salisbury and he claims he witnessed a soldier, a marine, a sailor, a coast guardsman, and an airman standing beside of President Roosevelts casket. It's outstanding to hear such a story from your own kinfolk.

The Ej&e kirk yard roundhouse is still up and in use today also, 1st half was built around 1912, and the 2nd half 1917 from what I've been told.

611 Rocks!

The Singer left out a verse in the Song. It goes as follows: "Well a telegram came to Washington Station, and this is what it read ... Oh that brave Engineer that runs Ole 97 is layin in Ole Danville dead"

Hope this is happening this year again!

Boxcar Willie had the best version of this song

I was theres last year enjoyed celebrating with you thomas and percy

My mother always told us the engineer was her cousin but she never met him

The only time i see cabooses at the end of long freight trains nowadays are just at the state borders for long hauls. Other places they use a caboose once in a blue moon not too often. The deliveries they make are local runs. That's probably why you don't see cabooses that much anymore blah. Jim Openshaw is a licensed railroad engineer. He told me he drives freight trains from Delaware to North Carolina. Thêre is still one caboose at the end. I gues if they still use cabooses are just for long hauls and shoving platforms in the convertion yard. Nỏt for local runs.

I remember being a kid at the Durham museum of science and this plane is one my favorite memories. Have you finished the cosmetic restoration and is it currently on display at the museum of transportation now?

and still all we have is AmTRASH! the shame of America!

I have been there a few times

Great performance

In Newell Pennsylvania there’s an old Pittsburgh and Lake Erie roundhouse that’s now used by an adjacent industry for storage. There’s another old roundhouse about 100 miles north of there that’s now used by a local industry for storage.

You forgot Juniata shop in Altoona P.A

RIP Brody and the 10 others killed in the accident.🫡

"Men and Mail." Men. Try a title like that today!

I have been looking for where to find these old train songs sing then with my uncle in early 60s. I believe there was a number 9, and i think one about 99 too these wewe such good songs. Could you help me thanks

My Grandfather was retired as a General Foreman on the Pennsylvania railroad at Youngstown,Ohio. He was proud of the fact that there was never a wreck on his watch. My Grandfather was a remarkable man! Joseph R. Miller.😊

Very interesting. I have passed through Woodstock for years, on my way to Selma, my hometown, and never would have known that this happened there. Very tragic.

Google Earth/Maps are good tools to see where roundhouses were. Usually what is left is the concrete floor. Additionally Sanborn fire insurance maps provide additional details where none is visible today.

I have driven by where this occurred right off Highway 58 in Danville. I also used to dine frequently at The Old 97 Steakhouse in Danville which is no longer there.

Great video!

Toss those silly assed ditch lights, paint the grad irons green and remove the crescent decals. Make her look like a newly delivered loco!

Well done!
