If there’s one topic in American history which has an endless amount of information and lore, centuries-old tradition, and a massive following of millions of people, it would undoubtedly be railroading. Each railroad throughout the nation’s existence is unique with numerous historical and preservation societies dedicated to each one, with leagues of information on a single era of railroading. Yet, within this expansive history lies various events and attempts which are left almost unnoticed through the passing of time. Today, we are here to dig up and rediscover these fascinating facts of railroads across the nation, in the American Railroad Iceberg.
As a [late] 4th of July Special, I have decided to make a three part series on the American Railroad Iceberg by Thorax the Railfan. Apparently, this topic is so intriguing that I wasn't the only one who had the same idea. Grand Drunk Western recently uploaded a video on this topic, but there was a lot of information which he was not able to find which I included in my own script. I asked him if I could cover the missing info, and he agreed. At the same time, Seaboard Railfan expressed interest in creating a video on the same topic, and I asked him if we could work on this project together to avoid embarrassing duplicates and to combine our knowledge on each topic. He agreed, and we were able to create this project together so that it could be completed with as much info as possible.
