C&TL&FCo. No. 1 "Glenbrook" - Nevada State Railroad Museum Public Debut

On May 23rd, 2015, the Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Company No. 1 "Glenbrook" operated for the general public under her own power for the first time since 1926! While the loop around the Nevada State Railroad Museum has been dual-gauged, several switch frogs were not yet in place for the locomotive to operate away from the Annex lead. Despite the limited operation of the Glenbrook on this day, she put on a great show for those in attendance.

Both the Inyo and the Glenbrook were build in 1875 and I just 2 years will be 150 years old. I expect there will be a special celebration in 2025 once they reach their 150th birthday. This past weekend I was part of the crew on the Glenbrook, it was wonderful. The museum has only one functional narrow gauge riding car, so we were limited to around 40 people per run.

Hard to believe the last time that thing ran was 1925. It's a great looking engine, glad to see it finally running. Great video!

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Man, feel like it's been awhile since we visited the Nevada State Railroad Museum, I haven't been there in ages. Looks like a lot has changed since last.

Чудове відео!

[@travelingwithmikeandpam9074]

I was there in June of this year & I don't remember seeing the Glenbrook!

[@user-gk8gg1zt7l]

Nice video, likes from me

[@JungleYT]

Pretty fancy Tea Kettles! One or two lumps? LOL Yeah, small drivers usually indicate freight duty.

[@fiddlesteven]

Suggestion. When the train goes by, pan back, turn the camera, and follow the train. We want to see it. Not empty tracks. When a train goes by, we turn our heads as it goes past so we can see it. The same is true with a camera. Turn it so we can see the end of the train leaving the scene.

[@SierraRailway]

Yeah, I used to do that. Problem is that my tripods are crap, and you wouldn't like it any better if I panned the shots, which is why I usually don't do that anymore. If I had a better tripod, I'd love to because I know exactly what you mean, but that's the way it is at the moment. Panning is only worth doing if your rig is set up for you to do it smoothly, otherwise it can ruin the shot.

[@fiddlesteven]

I understand. Lots of people leave the camera stationary. I could never figure out why. Maybe they have the same problem. I enjoyed your video regardless.

[@eliotreader8220]

Glenbrook is a very nice looking engine dus museum have eny thing for her to pull or is she just steamed up for run pasts ?

[@johnnyjames7139]

I have a book about the railroad to Lake Tahoe where Glenbrook ran. Never expected to see it steam based upon the photos in the book. How about raising the lake steamer Tahoe from it's watery grave?

[@amandahammond2691]

Tahoe is in pretty bad shape to attempt raising it, and the Bliss family have been quite adamant that she should stay put

[@JungleYT]

Too bad the mikes can't pick up the rumble of the boilers... I Love that low frequency sound.

[@railfan110]

4:55 is that George at the throttle. Great Video.

[@SierraRailway]

RailfanFire110 Yes, George was guest engineer on the Glenbrook for most of the day.

[@vectorbrony3473]

I'm guessing that Glenbrook was designed for freight duties rather than passengers.

[@deleteddeleted172]

Looks like it

[@amandahammond2691]

That is correct, she was built to move lumber from the mills in Glenbrook, NV on Lake Tahoe up to the top of the Sierras to be offloaded to a flume

[@pux0rb]

Did older engines like that not have a reverse gear? How did they control forward and backward movement?

[@4501driver]

puxorb Stephenson valve gear is all internal. It's there even if you can't see it.

[@jacobwoods8738]

Mike The Gmod Foamer Has a Johnson Bar and internal valve gear.
