Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum with the Chesapeake and Ohio Hudson  

With who's money? and where are you going to realistically run it?

@@tlow1324 Donations and grants from historical societies. Asking that question like youre on to something

@@tibbers3755 I'm onto absolutely nothing. If you don't have a sustainable right of way to run these large steamers on....I can't, for the life of me, understand why the calls that come out to "fire it up" or "make it steam". It's an emotional call, not a business/economic/logical call.

@@tlow1324 If you see heritage from a "business/economic" point of view, you just scrap everything. Heritage preservation (especially industrial heritage) is expensive and not profitable, it's not the point.

@@nathanh.5373 Emotions have no place in business/economic. Museum/Tourist Railroads do not stay open because of emotions (directly). They stay open because they've figured out how to make a profit in order to keep the lights on and the bills paid while also paying the staff. And you're statement of "scrap everything" is putting words in my mouth there Haus. cosmetic restoration are great. They're minimal in terms of cost and labor but full-on getting a 4-6-4 back to steaming conditions, meeting all the FRA standards, for a bunch of railfans to whack their puds to in museum with less than 1.25 miles of track is going to cost the museum money not make it money.

Veramente eccezionale le locomotive sono veramente bellissime con dei pezzi veramente di una certa epoca come pure i carri e carrozze di varie epoche la tua presentazione è stata veramente ottima grazie 😊😊😊😊

Thanks for watching. Check out some of our other videos. Please and thanks

There was a matching consist when it was in service

At one time the 490 was under consideration for restoration back to operation

That would be cool!

Thanks so much for watching

It's beautiful

It is the only one not scrapped from the other streamlined steam locomotives owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It was built circa 1947.

Wow, thanks so much for your kind words. Appreciate you watching and for your support. If you would tell your rail friends to come watch and subscribe. Thanks so much

Glad you enjoyed it!

Actually, the Allegheny is considered a botched job by Lima and the Allegheny's design team. The darn thing's overweight, caused a big brouhaha when the engineer's union found out. And the there was a disconnect between design team and client railroad (C&O), unlike the close collaboration between Alco and UP when they built the Big Boys.

Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it

That was a gift from France.

IIRC, it's the Merci wagon for Maryland.

The round house's roof did collapse in the early 2000's i think.

Yes is did it was on Presidents’ Day during a snow storm. I don’t recall the year it happened several civil war era passenger cars were destroyed. A few did survive it along with the civil war era steam locomotives. One of them had the cab damaged. The cab was restored. I think the museum was closed for a period of time during the roof restoration. The king and queen posts were replaced with structural steel members. The original structural members in the roof were made of cast iron or pig iron it might have been called. The night the roof collapsed it was reported that the fire alarm went off. Early the next morning a local news helicopter was above the site and took some still photographs of the damage. You can do an internet search to find a lot more information on the collapse and re-birth. Also lionel made a commemorative boxcar to help fund the restoration project. The boxcar was only available through the museum if I remember correctly.

I believe so. Thanks for watching

if you ever get to Europe visit York railway museum (UK) or SNCF musee en Mulhouse France both have truly spectacular collections

Absolutely, trying to get up there. Thanks so much

Maybe you can pay for it?

Actually the day of. I was 33 minutes south of the bridge when it collapsed. The helicopter flying over at the beginning of this video was the news helicopter going to the collapse

Wouldn't that be awesome

Not sure, sorry. Thanks for watching

President Washington? Iirc it was getting restored as of recently

I think the collection is still intact,; the last locomotive to leave Mount Claire is C&O 1309, which now runs at the #WesternMarylandScenicRailroad.

The C&O Hudson ?

Very nice 10:40

Sorry to annoy you. We were on a time restraint. Apologies

Sorry, I mis speak sometimes when taking film. I sometimes think, should i even say anything? But I don't want to just film and people just hear me breath the whole time, lol

@@RailfanDepotCincinnati No problem I enjoy watching your work. Keep it going

What film? This is video.
