Niles Canyon Railway Brightside Yard Tour & Trains with Henry Baum

[@stevejohnson1685]

When we lived in the San Ramon Valley in the late 80's, I had the pleasure of taking an excursion on the Niles Canyon Railway with my 2 year old son (he's 33 now); we both loved it! Congratulations on your continued existence!

Thanks for sharing!

Good job keeping these old relics running. I didn't even know about the Krauss-Maffei ML 4000 until recently, and you have the only remaining example. And it evens runs. Amazing.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed watching 👍😎

[@tsgmultimedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good presentation.

[@McDeth187]

My dad was a groundskeeper at the PLA for a few years during my youth. Playing and crawling around the equipment definitely made for an enjoyable and unique childhood!

I am super excited about the Southern Pacific 1744.

[@LarryWGrant-dw6jo]

So great to see The Pacific Locomotive Association continuing to make a great effort through the current Covid-19 mess. Thanks John!

[@tsgmultimedia]

You bet!

[@Trainman401]

I have a correction for the mallet type steam locomotives. He said that there were 3 of that type running. Their are actually 4 of them running and 2 of them are with the Black Hills Central Railroad. BHC 110 and recently restored BHC 108. Still a cool video to see what projects are in progess. Great Work. Hope to visit Niles Canyon Railway someday.

What an Awesome set up thanks John for bringing this to light..

[@cambridgeh.lutece6658]

I actually explored the yard last year! Amazing stuff.

[@Shane-Singleton]

This was awesome! Thanks for filming and putting this together, John! Very cool historic railroad! I'd actually seen restoration work and trial videos of that big hydraulic locomotive but didn't view much about the actual railroad that did the work. I envy your opportunities you have out there in CA to visit and document places like that.

[@tsgmultimedia]

Thanks Shane! I'm just trying to find interesting things I can share with the world. I'm lucky to be in a place where there are a lot of those kinds of things, but I suspect that if I lived elsewhere, I'd find similar things. I think interesting things are everywhere but you have to seek them out.

[@tallpaul9475]

Nice, good to see things are going good there. Practically in my own backyard.

[@chazco]

Great video - Awesome history lesson.

[@tsgmultimedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@evanf1293]

hope the work on 1744 goes well so she'll be operational in a few years.

[@giuseppearditi7963]

Per me è stato un video molto interessante aspetto altri video buon lavoro

[@giuseppearditi7963]

Grazie per aver preso in considerazione il mio parere

[@WestCoastRailroadProductions]

Nice ive been on the yard walk through Nice!

[@tsgmultimedia]

Cool!

[@brinkmccray947]

I enjoy this video. Here is a idea that might help you get some money is to have night photography and photography in the yard getting roster shot of the locomotives, freight cars passenger cars and caboose. That will help you get more money and photographers would enjoy paying money to do these items if you can set something up like that on the weekends.

[@johnnyjames7139]

My idea of social distancing is making out.

[@drewzdrew27]

Has all the smoke in the area dampened the September run weekends?

[@oakrail8100]

Probably Not

[@tsgmultimedia]

I don't know if the smoke is affecting their ticket sales, but it definitely is smokey out here this weekend. Next weekend is supposed to be better with less smoke. We'll see if that happens!

[@WestCoastRailroadProductions]

i wonder when there going to run the chiken engine and the oakland terminal 101

[@SPNGMalibu18]

Exactly! It’s been there for like more than 5 years!

[@ColbysProjectBin]

The Chiggen locomotive was only in niles for a week, as it then went to Oregon and now is at the Placerville Sacramento railroad I believe

[@tsgmultimedia]

This is correct. The Placerville & Sacramento Valley Railroad took delivery of the Chiggen a few months ago. I did a pretty extensive interview of the people involved right here on the channel earlier this year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX6omqOjbrmtf7c
