I have a new webpage I'd like to share with all of you : ) A page to return to week to week or more, full of entertainment and other offerings to support your experiences along the way: www.lisakentertainment.com/youtube
The "old bus" at Knott's Berry Farm is the Rio Grande Southern Railway's "Galloping Goose #3". It was used for passenger and freight service in Southern Colorado. The other five surviving Geese are in Colorado, in Golden, Telluride, and Dolores. All are in operating condition. In addition to the invention of the Galloping Geese, this railway was famous for the "Ophir Loop". Most of the railway is long gone, but people can still hike the route, which is rugged and scenic.
I have been to New Bern. Great small town with interesting places to visit and restaurants. Hadn't noticed anything about trains, so thanks for introducing me to them.
@@pingkirsch1380 Thanks for the feedback! After ten years in the L.A. area, I still have yet to go. You mentioning tour son is making me think that maybe I should take my niece the next time she visits.
It's always nice to travel alone and go where you want and stay as long as you want. I visited New Bern a couple of times when I was stationed at Camp Lejuenne. Great bbq in that area.
It sure is! And that's neat that you were stationed in NC. I have spent time near there.. Emerald Isle, Atlantic, Harker's Island, Shackleford Banks...
Wow! A vintage copy of "Railroad" magazine! It knda-sorta survives today as "Railfan & Railroad" magazine having merged with "Railfan" back in 1979. New Bern looks good! I remember New Bern from when I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point back in 1977. It was kind of run down at the time but from your video it looks VERY impressive now! And I have to agree Lisa, there's nothing like driving cross-country (And back!) and seeing it up close and personal. I've done it myself and everyone should try it at least once. Thanks for posting!
Really neat hearing about your connection to the Carolina coast! Yep, drove up the to Seattle area, to Idaho and MT, over and down to NC on the way out. Definitely want to cross the country again a time or two. Lots to see! And thanks for telling me that magazine history!
Great video I love Spontaneous discoveries, but that's what you get when I go roading. I've been to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg Germany. It's an all-day event. Thank you for sharing.
@@LisaKEntertainment Yes it was unbelievable. I have VC in a week I might go back there or Australia or road trip to NC,KY,TN,IA,WI,IL,PA and look at trains. who knows.lol
Come to Colorado, we have the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Georgetown Loop Railroad, Durango and Silverton narrow gage, Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge, Leadville and Southern Railroad, Royal gorge Railroad, and the Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley Colorado
Yep. Especially the Colorado Railroad Museum. Maybe you could interview Hyce. (Check out his RU-vid channel). Maybe you could even cook something on a scoop shovel in the K37 Kitchen. As a side note, it was great to see the old Railroad magazine. I read those as a kid. The pages were pulp and there was always a great short story written by an old time railroader. Pulp fiction indeed.
How about the Cripple Creek & Victor narrow gauge? Is that still around? Dittos on the Colorado Railroad Museum and the Durango & Silverton. As far as the D&S is concerned I'd advide folks to allow at least a day and a half for the visit, a dy for the train ride and the half for the museum. Both are outstanding but you can't do both in one day. The others I have no experience with.
Today I met the editor of what that magazine is today! Very special after receiving that magazine!!! I should have that full episode with Jim Turk out in the next two weeks max.
@@asdfdsa45 Thank you!!! One of my best friends lives in Hanover, not too terribly far from Hamburg. And I was thinking about getting to Europe next year. Even exploring options for an Orient Express route. Lots of things brewing, and on the calendar!
Sometimes when travelling you do find some lovely, interesting and cool things, I do travel around alot in the UK and there places that are very Interesting IF you come over here one day there a few Railway lines I can recommend Settle and Carlisle Railway West Highland Line from Fort William to Mallaig in Scotland as it got the Glenfinnan Visduct which is used in Harry Potter Kyle of Lochalsh Line in Scotland which has some stunning scenery which runs from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh And there loads more, great video
I am invited you to San Diego to visit the San Diego 3-Railers O scale huge train layout at Balboa Park. There is also a 75 year old G16 model train that you can take a ride on. It is right next to the San Diego Zoo as well. I emailed your Dad at "The Train Loft" with the invite for you to come down to San Diego. I emailed him last week.
Yes, thank you so much! I have your info written down and would love to come down and visit your club's layout... and my dad send me a news story video of what I believe was the anniversary of that railroad. Things feel so busy until September, but I would love to get down there this year, probably this Fall. And let me know if there's any particular event going on concerning the railroad or your club, but otherwise, I'll just plan to come during the week sometime. Thank you!
Speaking of San Diego, to the east near Jacumba is Carrizo Gorge, where the old San Diego, Arizona, and Eastern Railroad ran. Part of that is the Goat Canyon Bridge, the largest curved wooden trestle bridge in the world, which is still standing. The tracks are unused at this time, and it's on private property. But if you're willing and able to walk 8 miles out (and 8 miles back) in the desert and risk getting a ticket, you can see the bridge. If you don't want to take those risks, there's an HO scale model of it in the San Diego Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park. Or, you can search RU-vid for videos about people making the hike recently, or actual train service on the line as recently as about 15 years ago.
