Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum with the Chesapeake and Ohio Hudson

[@louGriggs1944]

Love this video Like you, I particularly like the Shay's, Climaxes and Heisler's. Peter Cooper was a very distant relative and it is nice to see the reproduction of his locomotive on display. Thanks for the video.

[@cybertroniccustomz998]

Incredible just absolutely amazing never knew there was a hudson still in existence

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

It's beautiful

[@luislaplume8261]

It is the only one not scrapped from the other streamlined steam locomotives owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It was built circa 1947.

[@jamielavin1136]

Dear Matt, Thank you so damned much for a tour and a place I will never get to visit. The details of this video you made just gave me a visit shoulder to should’ve with you. When you said wow, I said wow! The focus you gave to this place is something I never had heard of! Just a top of the line tour I’m forever grateful to you, for bringing this to you tube. You are the best narrator, nay, an orator with a gift!

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Wow, thanks so much for your kind words. Appreciate you watching and for your support. If you would tell your rail friends to come watch and subscribe. Thanks so much

[@lyndonfoster1090]

Thank you so much. I'll probably never get there now at my age but it is great to see, especially the streamlined stuff. Thank you for your efforts ans videos.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Thanks so much for watching

[@raywills4709]

Went there as a kid back in the 70's. Not much has changed. I do remember them having more layouts that were really cool.

[@giuseppearditi7963]

Veramente eccezionale le locomotive sono veramente bellissime con dei pezzi veramente di una certa epoca come pure i carri e carrozze di varie epoche la tua presentazione è stata veramente ottima grazie 😊😊😊😊

[@trainsofworld]

excellent video !! 490 is an eye-catching locomotive !

[@danielmkubacki]

Thanks for taking us with you. That Museum looks so fun! So many locomotives!

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Thanks for watching. Check out some of our other videos. Please and thanks

[@ggreg2258]

Didn't the roundhouse collapse a few years ago from snow weight? Visited about 10 years ago---an absolute must for the train enthusiast. Nice vid.

[@avgjoeavglife]

The round house's roof did collapse in the early 2000's i think.

[@hmsjr0154]

Yes is did it was on Presidents’ Day during a snow storm. I don’t recall the year it happened several civil war era passenger cars were destroyed. A few did survive it along with the civil war era steam locomotives. One of them had the cab damaged. The cab was restored. I think the museum was closed for a period of time during the roof restoration. The king and queen posts were replaced with structural steel members. The original structural members in the roof were made of cast iron or pig iron it might have been called. The night the roof collapsed it was reported that the fire alarm went off. Early the next morning a local news helicopter was above the site and took some still photographs of the damage. You can do an internet search to find a lot more information on the collapse and re-birth. Also lionel made a commemorative boxcar to help fund the restoration project. The boxcar was only available through the museum if I remember correctly.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

I believe so. Thanks for watching

[@fxsrider]

Gorgeous!!

[@johncrump916]

WOW what an massive Collection of HO Scale Steam Locamovtive's & the HO Scale Deasial train's as well as the Big Steam Loamovite's

[@walteranderson5090]

Good video. Panning is smooth and narrative well done. C+O Allegheny, have one too. BigTrains.........Sweet

[@TheDodgeRamGuy]

Ill have to check that place out this Summer im in PA

[@carlosmartingalindoperez4268]

Incredible video, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Mexicali Baja California México.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vettebecker1]

Would love to see the C&O Hudson on the rails again! Very sharp looking locomotive Imagine 490 with a consist of all stainless corrugated coaches!!

[@EngineerDaylight]

There was a matching consist when it was in service

[@hmsjr0154]

At one time the 490 was under consideration for restoration back to operation

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

That would be cool!

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Awesome video, I love visiting that museum. My last visit was Fall 2022, I see they have moved some things around. The right side of the 490 tender leads me to believe it was fabricated from a passenger car, you can see where the windows would be. That EMC EA from 1937 is spectacular as diesels go. It was in the front part of the repair shop when i visited, next to the 490 Yellowbelly. The CRR of NJ Boxcab is cool too. My dad ran that X215 Big Hook when it was in Cumberland, but Junior Rice was the main operator. Thanks!

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Very nice, like

[@gratzmyers3242]

The preserved round roundhouse is my favorite thing! Thanks for sharing!

[@DUBMANS]

The sister to the 1604 is 1601 at the henry ford museum.

[@kristoffermangila]

Actually, the Allegheny is considered a botched job by Lima and the Allegheny's design team. The darn thing's overweight, caused a big brouhaha when the engineer's union found out. And the there was a disconnect between design team and client railroad (C&O), unlike the close collaboration between Alco and UP when they built the Big Boys.

[@paulzeigler7616]

Very nice job of giving a quick tour of a great museum.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rogerlollar4325]

They should run the William Mason for the B&O bicentennial

[@pietjebell]

The have European Freight railcars in the museum ! Awesome video.

[@avgjoeavglife]

That was a gift from France.

[@kristoffermangila]

IIRC, it's the Merci wagon for Maryland.

[@raybame5816]

Thanks for this tour. The place is huge and great. I'm whl chr bound and appreciate the look/see of these places by guys like u so I can no if I can git around with my hardware. Seeing all the ramps, it looks like the B&O took the ADA seriously and I can see just about everything with room to spare. I'm now at 80 but I'm hoping to git there. Almost feel like I been there thru you. Thanks again.

[@charlesemerson6763]

A lucky building to survive after the roof collapse.

[@wackyracer666]

this is a great video! thank you for posting this. Very informative and gives a great impression of the museum. By the way I am from the UK. I hope to visit this museum in Baltimore at some point in time.

[@oohwhop716]

Man I would love to see those trains

[@plunkervillerr1529]

Marx guy here, OUTSTANDING!

[@Greatdome99]

Well done.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Thanks for watching

[@tariel66]

kudos to George and Jamie in the Museum restoration shop

[@MrThecroatian]

Another cool museum, Matt. Have you ever been to the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, OH? You should do a video from there.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Absolutely, trying to get up there. Thanks so much

[@jetegtmeier71]

1604 WOW, that's as impressive as the Big Boy, or at least a Challenger !!! Great video. Thank you

[@esterribeirotrens.8456]

Boa noite! Inscrita no Canal! Like 👏👏🙋‍♀️ saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@thomasavensjr.2790]

Very impressive and attractive railroad museum, if I ever get a chance to visit this museum the 3 locomotives that I want to see in person are the B&O "Pacific" type president Washington #5300, C&O Hudson type #490 and the C&O Allegheny h8 type #1604. This was a great and enjoyable observation video of the equipment on display at the B&O railroad museum, the C&O Allegheny 1604 is a massive locomotive and is really impressive to observe while standing beside it.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank you for the tour

[@yostification]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@Margiezilla2006]

It’s my girl Allison Allegheny 1604!🥰

[@cm-ek4ci]

Didn’t the round house roofing fall in on part of the collation

[@andrewcoates3050]

I had a hol' up moment when you looked at the Hudson because I didn't see the valve gear which means either it's got Stephenson valve gear which is neat because I didn't know they were using Stephenson gear that late, or it means it's inside walscherts in which case, why would you do that?

[@gameoholic1994]

What company is the #4 tank engine next to the #490?

[@jackyknr3320]

Très beau matériel ferroviaire 👍👍👍

[@johniacono3725]

What Happened to the CNJ 1000. Looks like some pieces are missing from the collection. Has the collection shrunk?

[@kristoffermangila]

I think the collection is still intact,; the last locomotive to leave Mount Claire is C&O 1309, which now runs at the #WesternMarylandScenicRailroad.

[@MK-of7qw]

I do believe Alleghenies are even larger than the Big boy. If it they are damned close.

[@trackandtrail1]

490 sure needs a restoration

[@traderalex1]

where are the diesels?

[@anthonyhunt701]

I agree on the Shay. When I see the one we have at the Illinois Railway Museum, I prefer the right side lol🚂

[@joenewstead4848]

Wait. Where is the B&O 4-6-2? It was usable beside the B&O 2-8-2. I wonder what happend to her

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Not sure, sorry. Thanks for watching

[@tibbers3755]

President Washington? Iirc it was getting restored as of recently

[@porcelainthunder2213]

That layout wasn’t there the last time I was…if I recall, that used to be the gift shop.

[@robertomoltrasio1765]

THE 490 IS THE STAR OF THE MUSEUM!

[@twelvexes]

if you were to go through the entire museum and read through everything, how much time could you spend here max? thx!

[@jetegtmeier71]

the Shay were built for steep mountain track wern't they ?? Ok I should have waited to write the post LOL

[@anthonyhunt701]

Plus the first EMC EA unit!❤️

[@elfeintwentyfives1620]

there was a h o layout which employees of balitome rail works had put toghether over 50 years but it was thrown away destroyed in 2004/5

[@elfeintwentyfives1620]

btw a lot of locos are missing and i had not seen the presidential campaign rail car along with a sky blue steam stream liner sadly you did not get to take a ride on 1950s passanger train that you see in begining of your vid 16:38 also the turn table does not work any more due to the shaft being cracked so those locos are there for ever. when i was there in 2004 they would show how it worked in 2007 they were not doing it because shaft on table is broken

[@androidemulator6952]

That yellow "massive" steam engine - was that called the "Hiawatha" ??

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

The C&O Hudson ?

[@markmallia179]

Very nice 10:40

[@EastonsRailHunting]

I wonder if those steam engines still run🤔

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Wouldn't that be awesome

[@maiyo8518]

I’ve been there many times and years when I was in Fairfax

[@M1chael42O1]

if only you went down there while 2101 was still on display. Its getting a cosmetic restoration right now

[@maxwellwalcher6420]

would B&O 5300 would be steamed again and C&O 490 be steamed.

[@johnarnehansen9574]

I suggest giving these old locomotives they're deserved mechanical restoration they need!..

[@garryferrington811]

Maybe you can pay for it?

[@garryferrington811]

I always wanted to go there, never did. The oldest and greatest repository of American railroad history.

[@riahthreetimes]

haven’t been since 2015! not much has changed i see

[@outminded6622]

This man filmed this a day before the bridge got hit.

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Actually the day of. I was 33 minutes south of the bridge when it collapsed. The helicopter flying over at the beginning of this video was the news helicopter going to the collapse

[@Wolfric_Rogers]

I read it as "Cheesecake"!

[@quinnwilson755]

24:40 I live in England so... yes.

[@EncomHumanRecources]

I wish you showed more of that model at 2:20 that thing is really interesting and it annoys me that all you do is get a still shot of it

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Sorry to annoy you. We were on a time restraint. Apologies

[@normamcdonald1422]

People who saw the helicopter 👇

[@hmsjr0154]

Not spindle. It’s called a drive shaft

[@RailfanDepotCincinnati]

Sorry, I mis speak sometimes when taking film. I sometimes think, should i even say anything? But I don't want to just film and people just hear me breath the whole time, lol
