Huckleberry Railroad Steam Trains

[@swbeyer8349]

Nice! It's on my bucket list.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

There's quite a lot to do at Crossroads Village. Although it used to be a lot better. There's an operational blacksmith shop, an old mill, olde tyme candy shop, general store, doctors office, etc and of course the old train station. If you call ahead, you might get a tour of the boilermakers building where all the work on the steam engines is done. I've heard there are sometimes apprenticeships available also.

[@declankazem6111]

These trains have to be one of my favorites the railroads are so alike

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

Fun Fact: Huckleberrys are the state fruit of Idaho, although few are actually grown there

Looks fun, I’m fascinated by those steam engines

[@CoasterFan2105]

It really is! Definitely worth the trip!

I like any Rio Grande engines

[@Littledog0808]

Man it has been 6 years since I've been there. I miss it

[@CoasterFan2105]

It's a neat place!

[@m.sepich]

Used to go there all the time for day out with Thomas and Halloween trick or treating only living about 35 miles out from there, i miss it! I want to go back sometime and check out the Christmas lights.

[@Lakeside_Rail_Productions]

Another awesome video, mike. The trains look great in the fall, I could only imagine what they look like running in spring too.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much! I bet it looks great in the fall.

[@erickstrainworld5488]

i just love the 464 it is an amazing engine with a great history one fact about it at crossroads is it is so heavy that it has actually bent the rails if you have ever been to crossroads you know the section of track in question

[@ghostface1529]

This is my home state’s staple aside from the Great Lakes everyone who’s ever been a kid and lived in genesee county has spent at least most of their childhood at this place primarily for the trains which are the main attraction obviously you got these steamers decorated for Halloween and Christmas and you got the diesel one which is the primary train that’s run as the steam engines only run on Saturday and Sunday between Labor Day weekend and Memorial Day weekend

[@MarkAHHDvideostreaming]

Nice steam action

Amazing video Mike I love those steam locomotives!

Hey I see Huckleberry 464 over there. Yeah that locomotive was used for the holiday express train years ago

Yknow, once the border reopens, you should head to British Columbia to film trains there. We’ve got great railroads and beautiful views.

[@CoasterFan2105]

That's on the top of the list. I was planning on doing a trip all across Canada last year. Hopefully soon.

[@carlpeduzzi3780]

Rio Grande in Michigan. Probably never would have known if not for this video. Nice shots of the railroad.

[@royreynolds108]

The trestle in several shots and at 15:57 is the caps and stringers from what was called the "ZOO TRESTLE" when I was there between 1979 and 1983. It was a ballasted deck trestle when I was there. Thankfully they did not include the caboose on any of those trains. I did not notice Car No. 8 in the group but it is a Kimball Car Co. car from about 1877 or so from the Northwestern Pacific and the OR&N out of Reno, Nevada before that line was standard-gauged. Car No. 40 was originally a standard gauge car; there are two sets of bolsters under it. Car No. 260 was built new by the Burnham shops for the Rio Grande Southern with used trucks and the only new car they ever had. Cars 306 & 320 were from the Antonito to Santa Fe line. Car No. 316 was added after I left. Car No. 100 was a business car from the Zacataos RR in Mexico.

[@radiogoodguy6287]

Excellent Mike. Loved your comments. On video you've caught the greatness of this train. I owe my greater interest in rail, especially steam 🚂 to a recently deceased friend, Gene. I needed to credit him. He loved steam engines the absolute best. This train is such a majestic beauty, especially with two locomotives with billowing steam! They're like art!

[@kevp9601]

Mr. Mike Armstrong, Thank You So Much Again, Because You Know How Much I Really, Really Super Love Steam Trains/Steam Locomotives so Much! You Rock! Happy Spring Seasoning! God Bless You! You Put The "A" in Awesome! Go, Mike Armstrong, Go! I Love Your New KZbin Video of Yours, This is the Best! :-D

[@CoasterFan2105]

You should if you get the chance!

[@willstrainsplanes]

Awesome video!!! I want to check out that place. The one place you need to check out is the St Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad in Jackson, MO!!!

[@UPchallenger3985]

The 463 and 464 are 1454 miles apart. Isn’t that shocking? Who knew they would be so far apart.

[@TheHighrailer]

Ohhhh I was just thinking about this place today!

I love both 152 and 464. Last time I saw them both was in the 2019 photo charter. I hope the huckleberry railroad will be operating this but we just have to see. Also thanks for uploading this. Also another railroad in Michigan the little river railroad. One day you should go there.

[@thealmightydoge5653]

I KNEW THOSE WHISTLES SOUNDED FAMILIAR!!! I heard this in a video game!! Its neat that it's called the Huckleberry, is it actually that slow you can get Huckleberries from trees? I can only dream that 😅😂

[@CoasterFan2105]

Haha, it's a little faster than that! Thanks for watching!

It's neat how 152 still has it's snow plow.

It did not have the plow while I was there between 1979 and 1983. The pilot was of wood in the classical shape and painted red with red wheels.
