I'm glad that you guys went there. I haven't been there in years. I love that small train ride!

[@sovietunion3678]

So many memories flooding back to me

[@cjs1982]

I love the old railroad crossing signals here.

[@maxrailroad]

Nice video! I love those old American type steam engines!

[@MrBnsftrain]

1:40 this is the most steam locomotives I've seen on your channel! 4:02 I like miniature railroads! I grew up riding them a bunch!

[@Kevin2297.]

Amazing video as always!

I have been visiting this location since the 50s. Great place to visit. Did you happen to stop in San Diego on your tour? There is a great model railroad museum in Balboa Park. At 28,000 square feet, the museum is the world's largest operating model railroad museum. This unique museum contains four enormous scale and model layouts, built by separate clubs, which depict railroads of the Southwest in O, HO, and N scales.

cool. awesome video Alan.

*Travel Town has some neat hardware.* The restored Magnetic Flagman on its overhead arm needs its power looked at - a relay would control the two electromagnets in the motor to swing the armature with the dual-Fresnel tungsten on one end and the gong strikers on the other. The Union Switch wigwag uses an alternator in its relay cabinet to flash the Fresnels on the gate as well as the PARs on the pale.

Cool museum!

[@SMVvids]

Did you see Steamer #1000? That engine is one of four surviving steam engines from my hometown, Santa Maria, CA. Three of those four are in restoration, 1000 isn't being restored but 100, 205(closest to completion), and 21(only one ever built new for the shortline).

[@DeathValleyLumberCompany]

100 unfortunately isn't being restored, yet, she is stored up in Merrill

[@Meengineer100]

Looks good. It would be nice if they could restore one of those locos to running order.

[@sovietunion3678]

Meengineer100 they are currently doing cosmetic restoration to alot of the passenger cars and engines to make them nicer and a bitmore presentable

[@chocolatemooki4172]

hi man these are good vids man love them

[@raritanlinelehighlineemerg2683]

cool

[@jacobbommarito6040]

are you allowed to go in side sum of the locos and train cars?

[@DeathValleyLumberCompany]

you were a while back and you could probably still get away with it but they roped off the cabs due to some liability issue....

[@sovietunion3678]

Yes some of them depending on the condition of the cab if it was safe or not and same goes for the passenger cars too

[@ironmatic1]

Do they use Superliners in Florida?

[@EdwardRingwald]

Only on the Auto Train - Amtrak's Silver Service does not use Superliners due to the low tunnel clearances in New York City going under the Hudson River.

[@Chuck59ish]

Isn't the museum where UP replaced the Big Boy with a Centennial Locomotive? They took the big boy back to Cheyenne for rebuild. Nice video thanks. Is their going to a fight episode with Stupid Orange and your daughter's stuffed cat?

[@Millenniumforce]

lol that would be good but I didn't think of it. The next episode of Stupid Orange is in San Francisco meeting Mrs. Doubtfire

[@EchoplexFades]

It's a bear, it's a batbear.

[@sovietunion3678]

Actually no wrong engine number i know it because its in my state. Big boy number 4023 is yes accompanied by the centennial engine but is not under going restoration it would be up 4014 you would be thinking about
