HUGE TRAIN SHOW! The Ogden Utah Train Show 2023

After two years on hold, the huge Hostlers Ogden Utah Train Show is back! This huge show fills several large halls in the historic Ogden Union Depot.
Ogden was the original division point between the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific starting in May 1869. After the Driving of the Golden Spike in May 1869 at Promontory Utah, the division point was moved 75 miles south to Ogden because Promontory was in the absolute middle of nowhere. Soon thereafter the Central Pacific became the Southern Pacific. The current depot is the second Ogden Union Station as the original wood structure burned.
The Hostlers put on two amazing train shows each year, the Ogden show and the Evanston Wyoming show that is held in the Evanston Union Pacific shops and roundhouse about 60 miles northeast of Ogden.

The big cliff? In the big canyon? Omg. Box canyon 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide. 10 feet (2 meters) tall. 4 feet (1.3 meters) deep. Geeeezzzz

hello from australia also great video

[@ToyManTelevision]

G’day!!! As it starts to spring here I always wonder about the “other half..”. So question. As your seasons are flipped compared to us, are the names flipped as well? Is it fall there now… or is it still called spring?

Morning!!!! Came a bit early today. No matter… thanks!!!

Train Shows are always interesting and fun, and so are your videos. Thank you.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you like them!😅

[@farmerdave7965]

I used to enjoy going to the Hostlers train show at Union Station in Ogden. When the O scalers and S scalers were in that upstairs room the sound was deafening.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yea but it’s a good deafening.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Always love a good train show. Thanks for sharing.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great vidio, Love the train show tours. Great to see some prices on the 0 gauge stuff and going to like seeing the cars you willbe retrucking. Thanks for the coffee...

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Dale and Karyn, great vid, although I didn’t have the pleasure yet to visit the train show at the Ogden Depot, I did visit the museums. And I absolutely agree, both the architecture of the building and the history of the railroad displayed in the different sections, both in true scale and the museum model displays are awesome. So too is the Browning history and displays. Definitely rings a bell, pun intended, and a ton of good memories when I visited your part of the world! Cheerio

[@doltonmurray1625]

Never boring! Thank you for filming this. It’s like I was actually there. Can’t wait til Tuesday to see you open your goodies.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@chrispickerel2034]

I have not seen that train station since 1984 when I was stationed at Hill AFB.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Great museum too!

[@joellekarma]

I so enjoy your videos. Keep up the amazing work on yout Garden and O scale layouts.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi😀. Check the community tab. I often post updates there. And new videos coming.

[@acox3527]

I was just thru there on I-84 Monday when I almost tagged a bull moose head on with my semi I saved from having an interesting situation there's wild life is all over the place thru there

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

Thanks for showing this. What a great show! I wish I could attend some American train shows. On my last US visit, me and my two buddies spent our last night in Ogden. On driving to the airport I noticed we were passing some interesting trains and my friend said "Oh yes, I did see there is a train museum". "What??? Why didn't you tell me!!!???" I said 😂

[@ToyManTelevision]

It’s pretty good museum. The 8500 HP turbine is amazing. Check the link at the end of the video.

[@ToyManTelevision]

The C16 is a sad case. They just can’t get it done. We’d like to see it go to Chama.

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

@@ToyManTelevision Yep, I've seen that video before. Some really interesting stuff there! And yeah, that C-16 would do well at Chama.

[@jingles9657]

I'd love to take some reclaimed wood from a railroad artifact like that and build a guitar with it

[@idahofur]

I didn't realize they didn't have it the last 2 years. But, I did hit the one in Idaho falls late last year.

[@ToyManTelevision]

They sort of had it last year. Not in the depot. Small. Not the same show at all.

[@Husky1run]

Your be wife should enter the modeling contest there

[@kenshores9900]

Liked the detail of the model rail fan taking pictures. Guess they haven’t discovered digital model cameras yet.

[@kenshores9900]

Was that a refinery on fire? Would have liked to seen a closer detail.

[@bobgevert]

Loved that Ogden Depot!!! Great train show too!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yes it was!❤

[@pbyfr]

What a neat show. When I saw these two coal cars, I though that I could use them on my O16.5 layout, just before you said you will convert some of them to F scale!

[@ToyManTelevision]

I think they will look great as 15” gauge.

[@amyreynolds3619]

Nice layout but the J 611 does not have any UP passenger car.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yup. It’s a mashup.

[@loispadgett6306]

What a fun show so much to see and buy. Did you have to rent a truck to get everything home?😂😂😂 Thank you for this great adventure in train shows in your part of the country. Can't wait to see Tuesdays unboxing. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ToyManTelevision]

Nope. We bought a SUV. Normally we ride the train up. Best way to get to the train show!! But this time we drove up. So we could buy anything we wanted to!

[@robertweldon7909]

That High Rail Big Boy was super, especially the whistle. The whistle on 844 and 4014 and I assume on 3985, are different from any other steam locomotive. For some strange reason, every time I hear those whistles I get a strange stirring inside of me. The deep throated sound just moves me somehow. Maybe I'm just nuts. ;-)

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yup. Huge whistles. Like 5 feet long. You can hear it for several miles. Ed grabbed several spares. They put one on the Salt Lake City steam plant years ago to announce shift changes and lunch. I grew up hearing that from about 6 miles away.

[@antonbruce1241]

No, Robert...you are NOT nuts. Not even CLOSE to nuts.

[@paultrains3336]

Another great video as usual.... I still say you guys are having too much fun

[@ToyManTelevision]

Always!❤.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

What a fun and fascinating video, I enjoyed every minute of it! That Ogden station is absolutely superb! A real relic of the old days when big stations weren't just stations, they were statements by the railroads. "Welcome to OUR world! And for a time YOU'LL be part of it too!" A question, is it still used by Amtrak, or is it strictly a museum site now and a venue for various purposes? And your enthusiasm is VERY infectious! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s sort of used. The Front Runner, interurban train part of UTA comes right through but ties up on a platform a few hundred feet to the north. The depot is only used for events but the outside platform is in use. So you can take the train to the show! We usually do but just missed the train which runs every hour so we drove.

[@garyjones9023]

For fans of vintage Mopar muscle cars, there's a cool easter egg at the 9:45 mark. The scenery includes a gathering of Mopar muscle cars, including a 66-67 Charger, a 70 Challenger with a shaker hood, 70 Cuda with shaker hood, and two 71 Cudas, including a Nash Bridges car. There's also multiple Super Bees and a Daytona Charger as well.

[@jacobramsey7624]

They have an RDC at the Conway Scenic Railroad that you can ride at special events!

[@ToyManTelevision]

I loved it when they ran one here. As a kid I thought it was a dome car… then I rode it and found out it was the engine and cooling up there.

[@Caboose121]

I can answer what that thing is at around 13:50 that's my camera car lol I'll pull it out every now and then to run it around the layout. I've started to take an old phone and connect to it and put it up on the drive in movie module we have and show what it's recording there as well. Something a little different.

[@ToyManTelevision]

How’s the video look? Bet it’s cool as hill. Or.. heck… or?
