Steam Trains Galore 2! 

10:26 That Whistle Brings me Back🫡

Anyone else get nostalgia from their childhood?

18:31 Start of the Sierra Railway #3, AKA, the Polar Express whistle! Quite literally my favorite steam engine whistle of all time! Thanks for including the tiny but might train with a strong whistle! Love it so much CoasterFan!

lets have a Moment to appreciate that these videos were there for our childhood

Who else loves the big boy?

The nostalgia I’m feeling is crazy

I grew up in Fort Bragg, California, and used to see #45 all the time. As a teenager, I was part of the model railroad club that operates a layout in a building right next to the depot, and on weekends I'd bring my model trains and help run the layout. When #45 was running, I'd always go outside when I heard it coming and feel the ground shake as it rolled by, not 20 feet from where I stood. I recent moved a long way away, and this video brings back memories. Man, I miss the Skunk Train.

My son is sick tonight and wont sleep and this is the only thing that makes him happy.

Sierra Railway #3 Has the Best Steam Whistle I've Ever Heard!

The nevada and truckee railroad and the nevada state railroad museum, are my favourite part of the video.

Love that red loco at the start. Looks like an old freighter judging by the small diameter drivers. That whistle she has is awesome too!

7:45 Love that eagle flying there 🦅

Brings back very special and unique memories of riding and blaring horns on old steam locomotives. Let me just say these were rare privileged moments from the sixties. To be able to ride with the engineer and coal feeder on these huge, power monsters as a kid in his preteens, my most thrilling moment had to be when I could blast the loud horn by pulling the string (rope) overhead at will. Only when approaching a blind corner, unmanned crossings and the train stations he told me but I just couldn't resist doing it at will. He just laughed at my young mischievousness and the chuckle it brought from me. I still love the sound of the whistle (horn) when one goes by.

My 2.5 year old is obsessed with this video!!

Looks like i have a new Brick Rigs build, the Virginia & Truckee No. 25. Thanks for the idea!

I Agree with the RU-vid Likes, We Want To Keep on Watching Steam Train Videos on Your RU-vid Channel Forever and Ever.

LOVE Me Some ~“STEAM TRAINS”~ 😁 Many Thanks for sharing!!!

I just want to say a big thank you for posting this footage. My little boy is obsessed with trains and he watches these on a daily basis with such joy. We don't live in an area where we have year-round access to steam trains like this, so being able to see it on RU-vid is a treat for him, especially in the cold months when the train museums are closed.

One of the very best vids I've seen on steam trains! The term "galore" is most appropriate. The variety is astounding : wood- and coal-burning locos (and the appropriate chimney!), 2- and 4-cylinders and geared locos, genuine 4-4-0 American and 4-6-0 ten-wheelers, all types of old cars.. A regal! Thanks CoasterFan!

Nice rail movie. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much! Thanks!

You had some amazing shots of the Inyo, she is a real beauty, hopefully in 2015, you can film the Nevada State Railroad museums newly restored Glenbrook, a narrow guage locomotive that used to haul wood by Lake Tahoe.

Soy fanático por los trenes a vapor de muy niño, gracias a ty por ilustrar estos videos, fantástico.

That SP 6 chime on #10 is something else!

Love all of the videos of the steam locomotives. I'm from a small town in Tennessee and we at one time had a steam train and it was called number 1 of the clinchfield railroad. But when CSX came in here we lost our little steam train. I wish the people and the town would get it back home ☹️☹️😡😡

Sir, thank you so much for posting this wonderful video about those sleek, cast-iron maidens. I've always been plagued that they might discontinue historical tourist sites in which you could ride a locomotive from way back when, however they are still everywhere as one of America's.......mascots. Hopefully the diesels don't take over their positions in history, popular culture, and steam-exibitions! ~Greetings from Tennessee

Who else loves Yosemite #10 🚂

Whoever put all the time and effort into this series: THANK YOU. This is my son's favorite series and we use it to get him to brush teeth every night. My husband and I have really come to enjoy watching the trains too!

My son absolutely loves all of Mike Armstrong’s train videos!! My husband and I actually enjoying watching them too. Thanks for all the effort in creating a wholesome form of entertainment for our family. Chooo chooooo!

The sound of the locomotive I love

Starting at around the 5:13 mark, that looks like to be the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, which starts its run in Virginia City....

30:16 dragging 8 coaches and still keeping up that speed...that's impressive!

Absolutely magnificent! Not a dull moment if you like steam trains. Beautiful American landscapes add to the pleasure. Superb to watch on my new 75"TV. I hope there is more coming. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Australia.

My 3 year old son loved it !!

I love this and hope to share it with family who also love trains. Thank you so much.

Wow! Romantic! The words "Passengers do not sleep, but there is silence around, Outside the window, the sound of wheels, in the lights of the city. "

Thank you for uploading this and part 1- it's my toddler's new favorite! And I love seeing the beautiful scenery 😉

Great video! No annoying commentary or music, just perfect

3х летний сын смотрит с удовольствием! спасибо!

Wonderful video tour of steam railway. Exhilerating, life giving ..... something wonderful from the olden times. A feast for the eyes .....such heritage steam railways are no less than a moving museum!

Show de bola mesmo! Maria Fumaça é sempre uma festa à parte!

Thank you from Thailand

Love it. I worked on Southern's last steam pile driver.

Shays #10 and #15 are from the west side lumber company. They are pretty cool at the YMSPRR.

I remember this video. When I was a kid❤❤😊

Really GREAT steam-sound with great landscapes....

Ah well, who could have imagined America was this beautiful? Old West trains restored to their former glory. Beautiful video. Greetings from Australia.

Wow! This is absolutely fabulous! I have always bemoaned the fact that camcorders came along only after steam locomotives disappeared. Thanks to RU-vid, I can view these beauties again.

From Australia. I wished we kept our steam locos. Most of them are in mothballs and are too costly to run on mainline routes. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.

Virginia & Truckee # 18 sounds like Centralia Chehelis & Cowlits # 15! :p

Thank you very much for the video. I love the 3 truck shays and the narrow gauge mountain logging engines. Thanks again. I love steam; the heck with diesels.

that sound of the whistle lovely

Thank you, my 3 year old son LOVES your videos.

Not sure what it is that makes steam locomotives so appealing. Nonetheless, they are arguably one of the best things ever invented!

Shay 15 looks like it once did when it was with the west side lumber co. There are quite a lot of shays left and are all well preserved. There are shays 9, 10, 12, 14 and 15 still in service

The 2-8-2 Baldwins are both superheated logging-railway builds, with certain specification differences between California Western #45 (Baldwin serial 58045), on her home tracks, and McCloud River #18 (serial 41709), as a guest locomotive of the Virginia & Truckee. The V&T owns a 2-8-0 Baldwin saturated-steamer, serial 44235 (ex-Longview, Portland and Northern #680), as fleet number 29; original locomotives #22 (4-4-0, serial 3693) and #25 (4-6-0, serial 25016) are in running retirement at the Nevada State RR Museum.

Thanks for the videos. I just can't help myself, I love trains.

I really enjoy watching Train videos from America and around the World, keep making more of these amazing and awesome videos

Thank you for this! Great way to spend a rainy day!

Great video of great pieces of machinery. My favorite shot is of 482 on the Highline.

Thank you for all the trains..

this was the first yt vid i ever watched know coming back 13 years later

My toddler just loves these videos

Great footage of southern California and Yosemite National Park! Didn't know that trains ran through these areas...beautiful scenery! Thanks for posting!

The steam came out of the side! Looked beautiful!!! Thank you so much for this video! (10:48)

My 2 year old son loves trains (real ones not cartoons) and he watches this video every morning. I thought it would be boring, but sat with him to watch it and it is very well made, interesting and has prompted me to look in to some travel-by-train vacations. Thanks!

Excellent. ROCK ON!!!!!!

I can’t wait to see one of these with 2102 2100 1309 and the East Broad Top in it

thank for showing this fantastic video all that was missing was the smell of steam and warm oil

beautiful whistle 13:15

I love you steam trains galore videos

But its still cool to see these kinds of trains still out in the U.S.

Great video Mike Armstrong thanks a bunch

Excellent video! We have a steam museum not far from us with a Shay. Can't get enough of steam!

Very big Thanks! :-)

after 7 years im watching this galore again😢

Magnifiques ces locomotives du jamais vu

This old technique fascinates people all over the world. You can see and hear the power. It's a wonderful noise when the steam " hammers " on the piston. Where on earth can you hear the Doppler effect better than behind a running train, when the horn is blowing. I am from Germany and 65 Years of age. I remember whell, when our science teacher has brought us to a nearby railway station only because of listening to the blowing horn. Up to two or three years ago tourist groups have taken a flight to China for watching the QJ locomotive, Two and three pulled a long iron ore freight train over a mountain, old locomotive on the worlds modernst railway track. This track is not in North America, not in Europe, not in Australia or Japan, it is in China. But the Chinese government is against this tourism now. Its propaganda dislikes the " anachronism" of old technic and high tech. I have a question you may answer. The Baldwin steam locomotives have had a serioius chimney, that have looked a little bit like an inverse blast furnace. What was the advantage of this chimney? Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I have enjoyed it from the first to the last second. Sorry for my not proper English, but it is 50 years ago that I have learned this language. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I have enjoyed it from the first to the last second. Greetings from Germany across the "Big Pond" Paul

The bell ringing is like "okay, next train please!"

Coal , sweat and steam is an life of an railroad men .

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Well done!

Very nice video and I love your camera quality. Big thumbs up from me again my friend!

Thanks coasterFan. I live in Victoria Australia and most of our J and K class steam locos are no longer running. Steam rail Victoria run a couple of steam locos, not sure about Westcoast as to whether they exist anymore? We are unable to run steam locos in our summer seasons because of the threat to grass fires/bush fires. Far north Queensland run some large steamers, not sure about the rest of OZ? We do have some narrow gauge steamers running in Vic, but not much on mainline tracks. Thanks

I love steam trains and passenger trains bc it makes me feel like a young kid again😂

Coaster fan is that you ringing the bell on that steam train

I think my son (1y) has found something more interesting than cars. Loves the trains! Thanks for the video :)

Would be awesome one day to have the narrow gauge railroad line reconnected from Chama, NM to Durango, CO again.

Awwww The Skunk Train...my uncle Billy used to be a conductor before he passed away. Thanks for the videos my autistic son LOVES THEM!!!

Some serious hardware going on!

19:29 the real Polar Express whistle

My two year old demands to watch this every morning when he wakes up.

Spectacular steam train video.

Nice shot with the turkey buzzard in the sky. But it would be nice with notes telling where we are.

Wow these videos are sure different than the new ones in a good way

Ahhhh just put my son to sleep (again!) To the soothing sounds of the trains. Love these vids...i think i owe u a baby sitting fee. P.s. loving the knotts berry farm shots about twenty minutes in.

Great video, best on the web!!! Thank you so much!

I love steam trains.

Sierra no. 3: Best steam whistle in existence.

This was a beautiful production!

Well, here is another case of a video that does not deserve the high number of dislikes. I loved this.
