Welcome! This channel specializes in all things railroad and history related. Video topics can range from railfanning, documentaries, music videos, skits, and more. Other topics and interests are here as well so there is bound to be something to enjoy if trains aren't your thing. I try to keep to a bi-weekly to monthly upload schedule but that can change depending on what I'm working on. I hope you enjoy your time here!

They’ll definitely enjoy it. I recommend getting some of the other older trains second hand instead of getting the newest sets. They don’t have the same play value as the classics.
@@Ro11oTomasi I wish I motorized the engine for this. The Constitution is being pushed by a 9 Volt motor underneath one of the cars in its consist. (Other scenes I just push it with my hand off screen) If you have one I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to modify the tender to make it fit. If you want to use powered up or power functions then I suggest building a bigger tender.
@@eafd2708 Thank you! The sound effect is from an American Flyer station accessory. It used a tiny vinyl record to play the sound along with a few other announcements. Here’s a link to the exact announcement if you’re interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ijDF4NWPibI.html&pp=ygUeYW1lcmljYW4gZmx5ZXIgdGFsa2luZyBzdGF0aW9u
Locomotive that crashed through the wall at L.A.'s Union Station was caused by Engineer, Fred Hurst, error. He accidentally released the air brakes causing the engine to jump the tracks and go through the wall. He lost his job over this.
I have this set which I got in trade together with 4 other Lego 9v sets in exchange for some 80s action figures. There are indeed many nice train sets from the 90s which I missed out on as those were my dark ages. As I grew up in the grey era I find 4561 to be the absolute lowest level of Lego trains ever, 4559 maybe being a tad lower... IMHO good as a parts donor only
Excellent compilation! I filmed one of these cars yesterday, as I caught the sleeping car Berlin on Amtrak. I filmed the train along the Hudson River in Rhinecliff, NY. I wish that this full train continued to roll across the Country!
Rather unfortunately, the original company went bankrupt and the passenger cars exchanged hands with numerous other companies who tried to keep it going. Eventually they were all sold off to museums and private collectors. Sometimes you can see one or more of these cars behind an Amtrak train.
My dream was to ride the PRR all the way to Chicago from Lancaster, Pa. Never made it, but did ride from Sunbury to Harrisburg and on to Lancaster, and then on to Philadelphia. That was all over 60 years ago--but this video brings back lots of memories of those days! Thanks for sharing.
I would have loved to travel along the Northeast Corridor back then, All the sights and sounds would have been a treat to see by train. Not to mention being able to witness the older diesels and electrics in action. Glad this video was able to rekindle some fond memories!
This brought back some good memories. I lived along the PRR, and at Harrisburg's station they still have GG1s. Lot of history in those rails. I rode them from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, and Harrisburg to DC. That was back when the Keystone service still ran AEM-7 locomotives!
Thats awesome! I would have loved to see the AEM-7's while they were still in service, they definitely had a lot of character. I almost forgot that they had a GG1 at Harrisburg, I'll have to visit it someday if I get the chance.
I believe my thought process was that M-497 was one of, if not the, last locomotive in the US to have an “Art Deco”/streamlined look. It would be very poetic for the New York Central to be the first and last railroad to streamline a locomotive.
@TrainMaster26 I can agree with that. The interesting thing is that it was returned to stock configuration and used for some years before being scrapped. That was a shame because it's record should have earned it preservation.
It’s nice knowing that the GG1 was designed and built solely for the Pennsylvania Railroad and when that couldn’t survive, PENN CENTRAL, then CONRAIL and New Jersey Transit, but it mainly reminded on the East Coast. For not only the GG1 but other designs of railroad locomotives and other forms of transportation, Raymond Lowey was a genius in his own right. Great video. Thank you for sharing
Thank you! Lowey truly knew how to make a timeless design. I’m positive if they drained the pcb and replaced the oil they could have lasted another 10 years. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
It’s just an opinion or speculation but I think if they drained the pcb’s and replaced the oil, the GG1’s may have lasted at least another quarter century
"High speed train" refers to a train that goes over 120 mph, or 200 kilometers per hour. This train set has a top speed of 171 miles per hour, or 276 kmph.
