The RGS railroad HIRED a literal GOAT?!? [3/4 Idiot Plays Two of these people are lying 1x02]

In our second of the series of ‪@TomScottGo‬ and ‪@mattandtom‬ riping-offing, we tried out the newer game - "Two Of These People Are Lying", where the contestants try to convince me about obscure railroad trivia. And apparently the RGS had a goat on staff; who would've guessed.

I actually knew the answer to this one from a passage from Mallory Hope Ferrell’s book “Silver San Juan”. There we actually two goats named Billy and Blondy. You can read about them on page 204 in that book. They were purchased by W D Lee in 1910.

[@brysongrondin600]

The South African Railways hired a Baboon named Jack to be a switchman. The baboon was paid twenty cents a day, and half a bottle of beer each week and he never made a single mistake so I mean...

[@Hyce777]

I knew of the baboon :)

Oh gods, I could totally see that as a 60's sitcom on the level of Gilligan's Island or M.A.S.H. I suspect the only reason they didn't do that was 1. filming a weekly TV show with real trains on location in Colorado was too expensive, and 2. half the situations the RGS found themselves in were too ridiculous to believe.

Leighton is definitely the Gary Brannan of the group. Brett is probably the Chris Joel. But I like how Eric doesn't have perfect Matt Gray energy but is a little more animated.

Uintah has some crazy things such as derailments to Baxter curve to last surviving engine {Ex. F&CC 2-8-0} #12 to Achee's "Shop Built" shay 7 which was just made from using Shays 1,3, and 4 parts and pieces so its a kitbash of a shay. too lone coach 50 being pulled by 0-6-2T 20/21 to what ever

I had once a smart sheep, Mr. Leighton. It figuered out that if she jumped over the fence, witch she did like a horse would do, she would be in a closed off part of the field, where here babies wouldn't annoy her for her milk and also that there are fresh potts growing there and its all for her alone. ;)

[@tyrelmitchell9316]

Little late to the party, but better late than never I suppose Love watching y'all have a good time like this, it's a good laugh for sure. I do have a question about this game though. With the 'hot shot' clue, what would happen if two people accidentally told the truth? One mentions the D&S (I think) loco and the other mentions the fast priority train? Call a tie and both get a point? Or draw another card for sudden death between them?

[@bjrnfrederiksson2505]

Omg I have to say you guys just took a big step up from last time I was laughing so hard watching this video. You guys are so funny and able to make jokes about everything and anything combined with facts 😂 It's amazing Mark. I'm so looking forward to the next video of 3/4 of a idiot 😜😂

[@johndeere7245]

Goat should have been named Judas, that is what most call them. Lots of old packers or stockyards use a goat or a jackass to lead cattle/sheep onto the trailer or into the kill floor of a packing plant. And God bless Timken. I have packed more than enough plain bearings and boxings on old farm equipment.
