The Scenic Route to Park City - The Railroads of John Young 6

[@AquesousSolution]

Absolutely beautiful travel log with wonderful history.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks!!!!!! Did you watch the whole John young series? Really interesting.

[@AquesousSolution]

@@ToyManTelevision I am working through then now when "screwing around" time is available. The radio and sound amplffier were very interesting. Must had been neat when you were young to have all these interesting places and people's efforts to see.

[@markdeschane4467]

Karen & Dale, Good fun! Your knowledge about abandoned railroads serves you well. Keep on keepin on!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Always a lot of fun chasing ghost trains and finding abandon railroad grade! Salt Lake City, as well as other places, is rich in railroad history. Great fun to figure out the puzzle!

[@ToyManTelevision]

AND a fun ride and time spent. ANd great dinner!!

[@rohnerw]

Excellent! I sure hope you find the collector of the Peerless Laundry Steam Engine and Generator set. Another wonderful video. Well done!

[@ToyManTelevision]

In 3 weeks we are covering a collector of these engines, but not this one. The search goes on!!!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Another fantastic trip down history lane. Your childhood must of been filled with many a adventure living in these surroundings.

[@ToyManTelevision]

And how!! Had a mother that put up with allot!! Imagine a 10 year old buying a car!!!!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Different times back then, the fact that you could was fantastic. Today it would never happen. Evan my childhood for someone in his late 30s was more lax then youth today. To much bubble wrapping, we need to let kids explore more and get into innocent non harmful mischief. I could only wish I could of bought a car at that age.

[@ToyManTelevision]

The dangers are less today!! So why not kids be kids!!

[@judgeleverich5676]

Very well done!! Thanks for helping to preserve history.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Love to do it. My idea of fun.

[@jeanneuzarhudson8207]

This was well done. It brought all the other threads together. Thanks for this one. Park City Utah, or, "Snookered at the Summit Pardon my ignorance but I didn't think Mormon's drank.". Well done you guys. We are about ready for a peak at the Garage Mahal and that layout that is proposed.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Working on it today!! The painting is taking forever. BUt the backdrop painting is starting in about a week. WOWOWOW!!!!!

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

Very interesting, fantastic history Thank You for another fine episode Cheers !

[@ToyManTelevision]

I love this history!! Did you see part 4 and 5 on Baldwin and Lagoon? WOW!!

[@willcoleman9691]

Shame you aren't closer to Pennsylvania the East Broad Top RR are doing tours of Rockhill Roundhouse, sad to see them beautiful Mikado's sat there covered in dust..

[@ToyManTelevision]

Planning a trip SOON. Any ideas on where we should go?

[@willcoleman9691]

Toy Man Television Please try and visit the East Broad Top Railroad it closed back in 2011 but everything is still there.. 6 beautiful Mikado's the workshops are as they was the line closed nothing has been touched really apart from a few buildings that the Friends Of The East Broad Top (A Volunteer group) are repairing. it was one of the first heritage railroads in the USA and is hoped will reopen in the future. They are doing tours of the roundhouse etc on July 30th! I really think you should do a video on this amazing RR! Message them on there facebook page to arrange to be part of the tour. facebook.com/ebtrr/?fref=ts

[@ToyManTelevision]

On my bucket list. Not sure when but WOW!

[@AlexModeling]

"when you said: -" were on the "train" and you know what that means".. I thought.. -"yeah! Im goig to ear that lady train recorded Horrible voice!" ... but no! you know what... im feom Portugal... and like you (and we are not old) here in Portugal we have a saying that goes: "Old are only pieces of clothes"... again,and like you im entering the "oh i miss so much the good old days" phase... but your channel is a gold piece of it! tbe way you and your wife (my respects mam) talk of those... its a documentarie "per se"... loved this one dispite the fact that... its HUNDREDS OF MILES away from were i was born... but the planet its the same;) respects

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. Old railroads and the history are a fun way to spend a day. In Portugal you have so much history! And it must be fun to explore that. Here most of the history is only about 150 years, other than the natives. Who didn't have much going on here either. So, it's mostly "modern" history, but FUN!!!

[@DarkTerritory71]

I truly enjoyed that! Thanks!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Some fun too. We need to go chase a new railroad now.

[@santiagop23]

Loved the episode, thanks for sharing!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Some fun too. Need to do some other short line now. Hum/ OR the mine tunnels.....

[@williamwargo3066]

Hey Dale and Karen, how bout an update on this line. Ride the tram from the beginning to the end. Park City? And any new updates on the whole series. Keep RR'ing.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Be fun. We should.

[@tom7601]

That's not a trash dump, it's an environmentally remediated landfill. Another great video. 👱🏻

[@ToyManTelevision]

Someday I'll bet they dig it up in search of cans and plastic! Cost 3 million to recover $1 worth of recycle.

[@tom7601]

+Toy Man Television: I've often wondered if archaeological digs actually penetrate the village dump. That's why they find so many pottery shards. They break a pot, toss it and make a new one.

[@ToyManTelevision]

What thy usually find is the crapper!!! TRUE STORY. All manor of s#!t in there.

[@joellekarma]

WOW! US 50 goes through my town of Garden City Ks. I'm only an hour from Dodge city Ks.

[@ToyManTelevision]

The heart of the Lincoln is South Bend. Most of the backers were there. What a project!!

[@stevew270]

I'm 12 miles or so south of US 50 in south central Il.

[@sgtwylde1996]

I haven't had the chance to see the rest of this series yet, but would this railroad you've been following happen to have gone anywhere through the Centerville/Bountiful area? a friend of mine found an abandoned grade with ties slightly buried and it also appears to be narrow gauge, we haven't had the chance to explore it in depth yet though, also, I'd definitely love to see an episode covering those mine tunnels

[@ToyManTelevision]

Up there it may be the Salt Lake and Ogden, or ?? John Young had a hand in almost all the Utah railroads, even the UP. As Brigham Young's oldest son, he was Brighams "railroad builder". His personal railroads were fun small little things, but he worked with man of the railroads as a connection between Brigham (the church) and the railroads. I need to digitize my mine video. Would mak a fun show!

[@sgtwylde1996]

+Toy Man Television interesting, that makes sense and sort of does seem to bring to the foreground that whole railroad monopoly thing

[@ToyManTelevision]

History. I'm more interested in the fact that highways were at first private. Then taken over by the government. And how this compared to the railroad system. A debate that still needs to be on our minds. What is the place of government? VS corporate. As important in 2016 as ever.

[@sgtwylde1996]

+Toy Man Television this is most definitely true

[@gleanerk]

Good job and thanks !!!! Go home and soak your feet!!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

We are just now regaining the ability to walk. Ouch, but worth it!!!

[@stikibunn]

I thought Salt Lake City would be more deserty. It's greener and more lush then the countryside I grew up in. the completely flat and featureless yellow and brown of Southwestern Victoria in Australia

[@ToyManTelevision]

Right on the line between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Basin. 1/2 desert. 1/2 Mountains. And red rocks to the south. WOW.

[@cllines604]

sounds like you had a good youth

[@ToyManTelevision]

So much so! My mom was fine with my friends and I going into "the gully" alone after we were about 8 years old. Kids today don't often have that freedom, but until resent history, all kids did this sort of exploring. A great loss to our society. We need to give this back to the kids. It's a great gift for them.

[@cllines604]

oh ya I had had fun we never had to worry about things just go and have fun as long as we were home for dinner LOL

[@ToyManTelevision]

And from a mile off.... "DALE!!!!" Home now or else. Like a cell phone with less range. Unless you are on ATT.

[@crwatrainfanNein]

can you please go to Polson Museum 1611 Riverside Ave, Hoquiam, WA 98550 soon thinks ! they get steam locomivte #45 !

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yes indeed! Planning a trip soon. We have a friend working on the loco!

[@tom7601]

SD&AE hike to the Goat Canyon Trestle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nQl4aioceDeLc

[@ToyManTelevision]

THAT's GREAT!!!! Where is that?

[@tom7601]

+Toy Man Television: It's the San Diego Arizona & Eastern. Originally built/financed by John D. Speckles (of sugar fame), the idea was to make the Eastern markets "closer". At the time, SP had to go up the coast through L.A., up the Cajon Pass to Barstow, then get track rights from the Union Pacific to head east. The plan was to head across the Sonoran Desert, dipping into Mexico a time or two, and end up in Yuma and rails east. The San Diego Railroad Museum in Campo is along the old route, East of San Diego. The museum used to have a dinner train down into Mexico to Tecate (I think). They'd tie up in the town and the riders could roam the shops and buy locally made articles. They also had a wine and cheese train.They had a variety of wines from the Temecula Valley, about 100 miles north. And all kinds of cheese. I don't know if they still make the runs down into Mexico. KZbin has a plethora of videos including a history. Mr. Spreckles had the outdoor organ built in Balboa Park.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I get the runs in Mexico. I really get it. WOW need to get back down there. In the winter. So it's only 102. I was on the Plaster Ciity line years ago. With Dan's steam engine!! HOT!!!!!

[@tom7601]

+Toy Man Television yeah, it can get hotter then a pistol out there (I'm talking like my dad😀). I grew up in Blythe; not only was it in the 110-120° range, it could get down to 28° or so in the winter. My brother and I had to go around to all the cattle water tanks and make sure they weren't iced over.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Expecting 125 today!!!!
