The Train within a Train & the Railway Built for Beer - Guinness Brewery Railways 

Your Pronouncation is spot on. One note though, there are a total of 6 preserved NG steam engines. No15 ran in preservation for 2 years in Stradbally.

The locomotive powered locomotives? Yeah they tend to do that

Lmfao in the words of Hyce and Brent Weibol with a heavy Irish accent, " it's an 0-4-0. With big shoes"

Honey, I need to borrow your locomotive to power my locomotive.

Ah yes L O C O M O T I V E P O W E R E D L O C O M O T I V E

I absolutely _love_ seeing narrow gauge tracks running in the middle of Standard or Broad gauge ones, it just feels so clever to me, and makes so much sense for space, but _yeesh,_ finding images online is oddly annoying to do. Never thought a Brewery would need little trains to move stuff around, but really should've figured :P

There’s a famous quote that goes: “Oi mate, I need ta get pissed do ye mind makun me a railwae fir me pints”

I never considered that a single business may grow so big as to require and entire multikilometer on-site railway just to function... That's so cool!

What's next a locomotive powered by beer?

I really appreciate these industrial documentaries. Industrial engines and their infrastructure including towers, water systems etc are fascinating and don't receive enough attention

Oompa, Loompa, doompa-dee-do I've got a dozen barrels for you Oompa, Loompa, doompa-dee-day You have caused confusion and delay

It was a national necessity. Imagine Irish without their Guinness. It might cause a riot.

I think one of the gauge converter wagons can be found at the Amberley Chalk Pits museum.

Grain Belt Beer and trains in and out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin are what bring the haulage of beer by train close to home for me. Usually, one would think a private industry would have only one, two or three engines for its own. But I find it amazing that Guinness not only had a good sized roster of narrow and broad gauge engines over time but also built and patented their own unique engine design. That's a good company. And for those out there who also enjoy maritime vessels like myself, there have been special ships and barges that have solely been used for transporting beer and wine.

It seems even the spiral helix used by model railroaders (espcially in the US) to reach a higher second level of their layout, has a prototype!

This would make quite a project for a model railway

I love being Irish 😊 ☘️ but thankfully I am no longer an alcoholic 🙃

Can you please make a video of how St Pancras station became a hub for beer trains?

Y’hear that folks? Without trains, Ireland would’ve been a lot less drunk. Also Skarloey used a haulage wagon to take standard gauge wagons to the harbor at Kirk Ronan according to the Reverend W. Awdry.

Mr Geoghegan certainly was a smart guy in developing a locomotive which suited all his requirements. A brewery can be an environment with lots of dust from the barley and hops, especially in those days when most of the proces would be open and there was a lot of spillage. Now with pneumatic transport of the ingredients, covered tubs, pipelines for liquid transport and modern filling machines it is a lot cleaner

If that haulage wagon looks familiar it’s probably cause you’ve seen an edit with Talyllyn in it instead to represent the history of a certain island.

It’s nice to know that some of these unique locomotives are preserved.

Yay, my video suggestion finally got made into a video.

You continue to give us more festinating stories, Thank you.

One of the tank engines (the green on pictured near the end of the vid) is at the talyllyn railway museum. I helped restore that red corris coal truck in the background, some 25 years ago when i was a young volunteer on the railway.

Thanks for the cool history. Gonna crack open a Guinness.

Geoghegan: "All of these engines are terrible to maintain and operate, every time we get a new one it's more trouble than the last!" Steam Engine Manufacturer: " Oh yeah? Why don't you go and make one yourself huh? If you think its so easy!" Geoghegan: "Hold my Guinness." *proceeds to make an objectively better steam engine *

Id like to see something on the Leek and Manifold railway. The narrow gauge line that pulled standard gauge trucks

7:00 I almost forgot to bring this up, but has anyone else noticed the chalk face on the Hudswell Clarke?

No price and work too much to get alcohol to get to the societies 😞 So many families, relationships and social good behavior were and are still destroyed by alcoholism and people who can't handle the consume and behavior of them self if they get alkalized... "You" should not be proud about any drinking alcohol producers in any country...

genuinely, someone should make this, not in real life but in, say maybe Roblox or smt, or in a virtual experience, or even though I said not in real life, maybe someone could make a museum of this.great vid.

Most important railway ever....😁

I can't believe they didn't paint the funnels black with the top few inches light cream... 😁

I'm wondering why not electric? _If_ the brewery was powered regardless, why not electrify the rail network to begin with?

When Guinness was first established in 1759 it was an ale brewery. Only started being a porter brewery in the 1790’s. The narrow gauge railway system lasted until the late 1970’s, but the broad gauge railway line to Heuston station was closed in 1965. A number of narrow gauge Guinness engines and a broad gauge engine no.3 are preserved.

drink! chug! arse! 😵‍💫 also i've been to heuston station, as i live in ireland 👍

One of the most interesting engines I can think of is a natural gas plant locomotive. The example in question is currently on display at Steamtown in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The example had no firebox to avoid an accidental explosion at the plant. Instead of this, pressurized steam was pumped into the locomotive periodically.

Why do UK diesels have two tone horns unlike those here in the US?

Of all the jobs to have, driving a steam train around a brewery sound like a very fun one.

They really did make an adaptor for narrow Guage to broad Guage locomotives! Astounding history. Thank you

Of course it was Ireland that had a beer train

I thought it said that ran on beer 😂😂😂

I'm curious if the same design for the "locomotive powered locomotive" was used for Skarloey in the RWS...

How about the world's largest model train?

Millennials invented all this.

This was fun, fascinating and educative to watch. Imagine building a model railway of the brewery trains. How cool would that be ♥

If anyone’s wondering, the music is Bitters At The Saloon by Bird Creek ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-38O427hUE9Q.htmlsi=R7hOpIHdrG9volmG

These are so unique. I want to make one.

Who else read it as bear

Greetings Train of Thought guy. Have you considered making a video of the Wolgan Valley Railway? The WVR was a railway to transport shale oil from the middle of nowhere in New South Wales, Australia, to not far from the middle of nowhere, also in NSW. It operated from about 1907 to 1935 and used Shay locos due to the steep grades, impossible terrain and tight curves. It is now a spectacular walking track and includes a long tunnel known for its glow worms. Might be interesting for you.

Nice. More interesting than Cosmeston's Quarry Railway, which is what I was thinking of watching this. Come to think of it there were a few interesting narrow gauge lines in South Wales. Cosmeston, and then there was the sand quarrying or whatever it was at Porthcawl and also the dual gauge tracks at some of the mines. There might have been a very short line on Barry Dock too but information is difficult to find so I cannot confirm it, just a picture I saw years ago of a short narrow gauge line.

sounds like my kind of train!

These people were quite on the brink of progress. They were also one of the first to have a formal research and quality control lab. In which a guy named Gosset developed a statistical method. He was not allowed to publish it under his own name, nor refer to his employer, so he used the pseudonym 'Student'. The famous 'Student's t-test has got his name this way. Let all scientist raise the glass to his health :)

I Like Steam Engines Thay Are Amazing i Like Railways

I saw them in real life, real cuties.

they could have distilled some alcohol and ran them by burning that. I wonder if it was attempted?

I like this railway

Hey it lasted almost a hundred years. I'd say that's pretty good for the industrial revolution.

We Irish are too reliant on beer, hence why our country is a mess right now.

Here’s a pint of Guinness for this pub centric train 🚂 🍻

Skarloey Moment

Unrelated. Why do Northern Irelandees hate Ireland so much?

This is something that bender would be happy to work on

Now russie need a "built for vodka"

bEER

Elements of road-rail maintenance vehicles \m/

For Anyone wondering, Train Within a train: 5:32

I didn't know Bill and Ben were Irish😂

Really cool, I'm glad that there's so many pictures and that they're preserving a few of the engines!

Ofcourse its ireland

We've narrow gauge No. 22 preserved at the cavan and leitrim railway in Dromod, Co. Leitrim. Minus a boiler

Interesting video! Cheers!

This was quite interesting!

When bro orders exactly one more beer but instead of one more beer a small train with several barrels of the stuff shows up instead

i been there. can still find rails at the site

I've been waiting for this to come up in one of your videos- I've always found the idea of Haulage wagons to be SO COOL.

What is the music called?

Have a look at the BASS / CORS railway for the bear industry and other industries around in Buringham.

God I love trains

Oh the stereotypes...

brewery "halve maan" in Bruges had a pipeline installed under the city in the 2000's.

I was all in for the idea of a steam locomotive powering an unpowered locomotive, but the worlds most annoying steam engine kept me hooked. Keep up the good work man.

Engerth Locomotive

7:00 that is one of the homeliest looking trains I've ever seen.

The Irish are amazing people. Steam monorail, and now a beer railway.

🚂🍻😋👍

"Bee-awe"

Mmmmmm beer

The AB Brewery in STL Mo also has an interesting rail history.

Awesome

Excellent work Train of thought

It was great seeing these at the Guinness museum!

Drunk engines 😉🚂

FUN FACToid! Guinness brewery workers were not allowed to intermarry (Catholics and Protestants) until the 1980s, and the very Guinness associated with Irish heritage was actually not just a wealthy family empire but also a strategic tool to subjugate the Irish population from 1759 with alcoholism in parallel with the penal laws etc.
