2:38 Idc if the whistles are inaccurate, this gives me CHILLS. You did an amazing job with the mix of SFXs

Any chance you can have a look at the 1977 graville disaster: Australia's worst rail disaster?

The major difference between European high speed services and American is that we spent time testing, back in th 70s, and realised heritage trackbed and rolling stock couldn't cope. Switches are far longer, and curves much gentler: the rolling stock is designed to lean into the curves, and the bogie trucks are designed to hold the train upright in derailment. After a crash when the train, still upright, ploughed into an immovable object, such things were removed as far as possible. Go ask the UK's Institution of Mechanical engineers for the study papers.

What if the onboard computer fails. with these newer models? That surely is not going to happen, right? :S

19:55 We had a Thunderbolt 1000 non sound chopper type, civil defense siren near where I grew up in Tucson AZ. In the 1960s -70s that thing would go off every Saturday at noon . It could easily be heard 3 miles away. One Saturday I stood next to it at noon. At a few minutes after 12 noon I heard a compressor come on and observed the horn shaped siren atop a high pole begin spinning. The sound volume was incredible and I plugged my ears. As the sirens oscillating pitch reached its low note , I could feel the sound waves vibrating my chest like a drum plate as well as the ground beneath my feet. What a beast that big siren was!

Thanks!

Cool man❤🎉🎉🎉

the animation was impressive. ive been in 814 at railswest museum. cool stuff. they were the fastest steamers

If I was a Trillionare I would give money to the people to restore the 835 and 814.

Actually, children probably shouldn't be on the Internet AT ALL. Because while they definitely shouldn't be on KZbin, KZbin Kids is so much more bad, so why we keep these little brats off the Internet entirely? We're not gonna let sick freaks of nature lure children in with fake child content, but we as creators (that aren't luring in children with sick twisted stuff, are just trying toind our own business)are also not responsible for those little brats coming here either. Just keep the little guys off the Internet entirely. That'll do the trick.

The 2004 Tsunami was indeed a Tragedy, while hurricane Helene of 2024 in Appalachia was actually not a tragedy at all !

17:17 fun fact: i actually live in Council Bluffs, iowa, and i see it while passing over the bridge near it every day

Lunar signals aren't gray.

Ic 2613 is luks lak 819

It might be allowedc to go 200 kmph on the system, but it's defnitly mot allowed to take your attention from the rails to take a photo of the tachometer, when the train is moving.

Did 4876 not have dynamic brakes, that might’ve slowed the train down easier.

Peak content

Every class 1 railroad in the USA:

I'm so very impressed with the graphics! The quality of graphics and presentation are much better than when I first found this channel a few years ago- and the graphics and presentation were very good back then! Thanks for the information and the entertainment!

Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 was recently featured on Jay Leno's Garage

I remember watching a documentary about this crash as a kid, probably shortly after it happened or the investigation finished. All I remembered was a train crash leading to a chemical fog. I could never figure out what the crash was until finding your channel. Thank you. You solved a childhood mystery.

Yessir

SHES UP TO POWER! YES!

Is it just me or do I find it a miracle that only 6 people died in this wreck. Honestly this could have been much worse.

How is it that the railway has speed limits, but no speedometers in the locos?

GLORY TO THE U-BOAT!

From the camera angle- start up kinda sounded like an old lady with a coffee can half full of pennies falling down old wooden stairs 😂

Been watching these for several years now, I must say this is your best yet, writing, pacing, music, narration, were all top notch!

I would so watch that.

Was this boat in need of repairs? (I literally just found out about this unit)

I AM IN SHOCK, THEY GOT PURE FOOTAGE OF THE CRASH!

*_Go go, Yu-Gi-Oh Ragnarok_*

At first I thought you had meant 78 Years after completion of the transcontinental railroad. But That was in 1868. And this accidents engineer was Not that far off it’s scheduled timetable.

2:46 I recognize that locomotive, it looks like Rebecca from Thomas and Friends.

Sorry, no Pope yet….

Can you tell the story about the Michigan star clipper dinner train?

It’s good to see that 3372 is now coming back.

Rest in power

My grandma’s got basically the same car except it’s a Chrysler. It has the same Belltone to it.

Speaking of Erie Lackawanna one of them pulled the walled lake dinner train over near Pontiac Trail in Michigan

if you guys didn’t know that train is an Erie Lackawana train that’s what that logo is

I saw the old Clarence NY Thunderbolt 1003, its sadly been replaced by a whelen 2802 as of now which sucks because its the only thunderbolt that was ever installed in Erie County (my county) that i know of

Why’s it called a U-boat?
