We’ve got a Big Boy at the Transportation Museum in St. Louis Missouri and you can see the inside of the firebox much better since it’s outside and there’s natural sunlight
I wanted to come here and respond to myself, you actually can’t see it any better. Idk what I was talking about. It being outside in natural sunlight doesn’t mean anything 😂
I got to see 4014 when it was still on display at the Fairplex in Pomona. You're 100% right about the size. The 4-8-8-4's were MASSIVE!!! The first time you see one, it will take your breath away!!!
Very impressive and informative. We rode a scenic liner train in Jasper, Arkansas. Something I’ll never forget. Again, thank you for this wonderful video.
Excellent video, I wished they had more of the Milwaukee Road electrics they were incredible, and too bad all of the Hiawatha engines were scrapped. I've been to the California RR museum where they have a fully restored cab forward and it's massive also. Once again great video.
I grew up in Green Bay and pretty much took this museum for granted. Seeing the perspective of new people visiting really reminds me just how impressive the museum actually is.
I saw 60008 Dwight D. Eisenhower in 2013 when it was on display at the National Railway Museum in York, England, alongside the other five surviving A4's. It was a celebration of the 75th anniversary of A4 4468 [later 60022] Mallard achieving the world speed record for a steam locomotive.
Mmmmmmmmm very great video will would love to visit the National Railroad Museum someday. Railway museums that allow visitors the freedom to explore alot are always gems Also dat bog bog tho😳
I visited many times growing up in Green Bay during the 2000s, and I’m glad just about everything I remember being open is still open. Part of me worries that an incident or liability issues could close off the interiors of certain locomotives, but it looks like it hasn’t happened.
Fun story about this place! My gal and her kids came along with me. I was too busy geeking out that I got separated from them. I text one of them where she was, and she was outside in the open-shed area. I find her in the outside area and I show her more stuff I'm foaming at. We're about to go through the passenger cars when another guest asks to "join our group", so OK. We all go through the cars, I'm describing things that I've only seen in books, and when we get done I say to my girlfriend we should see something else and the guy goes "Wait, you're not a tour-guide?" He ran my ear off, my girls made fun of me, and I should've been paid for that tour. I felt proud with the foam hanging from my mouth to the ground that day. 5 stars
One thing that struck me was the compact nature of the Eisenhoeer compared to a similar American design. People on an island tend to design things that way. I spent over an hour measuring and photographing the MILW caboose. Could have spent all day. Finished the day with a trip to Usingers and then a drive to a campground in Oshkosh. There, I cooked up brats and onions in a skillet full of Miller beer. Pretty damn Wisconsin.
I can't remember how many times I've been to the Railroad Museum growing up. It is a really great place, and a lot of fun to explore everything in the out door shed. Walking through those old passenger cars is a neat experience, and one thing I always recall is the smell of the old interior. The Milwaukee Road Switcher is a Fairbanks Morse, #736. I remember riding in the cab a few times, my uncle and grandpa were volunteer engineers there for many years. The GBW #106 switcher is an ALCO, not sure of the specific type- but it used to be the Chicago Northwestern #1083. I remember many cab rides in that when they did the "Terror on the Fox" haunted house, riding around the loop at night delivering passengers to the haunted house. Very nice video, thorough and very informative!
I also grew up nearby and visited many times, and agree that the smell in the outdoor passenger cars is very distinctive and burned in my memories. Seeing this video also reminded me the sheer amount of cars and cabins you were able to enter. I want to visit some time again and see what new cars they’ve restored and opened up.
Great tour! Now that you’ve seen that you need to get to the east coast! Id check out Railfest at Steamtown. Operating steam locomotives, caboose rides, more train rides, passenger car tours, cab tours, shop tours....etc. Looked like a lot of fun! Take care!
fun fact GG1 #4890 was never actually painted in the Tuscan five-stripe paint scheme in her service career in the prr She wore the Brunswick single stripe paint scheme during her service life Im guessing they probably put her in Tuscan because its such a famous color scheme but I wish they'd kept her in her original PRR scheme
Very well done! Definitely check it out next time back in Wisconsin! Taiwan has a great train culture so if you are ever here, it’s worth the look. Again , fantastic video!
You are a good teacher, gopernoper. I didn't know much about trains when I first started watching this, but I have since learned about British trains. Thank you for the lesson.
I live about an hour from IRM. While IRM’s operational equipment is absolutely displayed and ran better, I have more fun by myself here. NRM is a place that I can drop by and spend a few hours without needing a dedicated day to visit. IRM feels like a task sometimes. That being said both facilities are amazing.
Just been watching some of ur videos of ur trains got to say I am likeing them a lot I love the american trains I hope to see them one day , from across the pond Manchester English godbless you sir, netty Lee,,
The gresely a4 used to have one of the flying Scotsman USA a tour coaches when Scotsman was on its USA tour. But there where move back to England shortly after
At 27min 25sec that old Lake Superior passenger car, wow what neat windows, what year was that from? All wood design? I have one Ho scale passenger car that has windows like that but don’t know the time frame? Very impressive museum! That’s for showing us!
OMG the engine 101 seems to be an engine that worked in Korea.(not china) As the umber plate has the word 소리 which is korean .its strange tho because it translates to the word sound🤔 Still its a amazing surprise to see a korean steamer in America. As only about 5 to 6 steamers are preserved in korea sadly
The museum in Duluth, which includes a DM&IR Yellowstone (Big Boys equal!) is also pretty awesome. If you caught the Burlington Budd built Diner-Lounge Obs "Silver Star" there she has a sister down my way we are trying find a way to resurrect. Yeah, great tour job you did! When I visited I spent a weekend there but still need to get back.
I have only been on one train in my lifetime (I know, that's pathetic). It was the Mount Hood Railroad in Oregon. One year when I was a kid (this was over 20 years ago, quite a long time ago) my parents and I took a short vacation with my two sisters and we choose to ride the Mount Hood Railroad train. I made an unforgettable friend when we took that trip, it's a shame I don't see her anymore...
A slight error on the sign at 9:47: #101 is not the sole surviving Pershing Class locomotive. #396 still exists as Southern Pine Lumber Company #28. It is operational but currently undergoing running gear repair work.
Sad really when you realise that in Britain they have around 800 operational steam locos, many running on their National network for hundreds of miles, pulling tourist trains at 75mph every weekend. And they have one huge National Railway Museum with HUNDREDS of steam, diesel & electric types, its absolutely stunning !!!
It seems like every single video I see about this museum doesn’t chronicle one of the most interesting parts of their collection, the 1996 life sized Thomas prop.
The place has improved quite a lot since I first visited it in 1975. Engines are indoors in a comfortable, climate-controlled display room, rather than left outdoors to the harsh Wisconsin elements. It and alternative reason to visit Green Bay if you're no Packers fan. However the museum's name is still very unwarranted and pretentious.
“Unwarranted and pretentious” how? It has trains from all over the US as well as a few international countries. It has a collection representing the nation and more. The name is fitting.

29:17 Fun Fact about this locomotive, it is 1 of 16 C-430's made by Alco and it's the only one the GBW had.
Stunning video! 60008 an A4 legend! And of course the Big Boy! What a locomotive!
We went today! Very impressive 🚂

Cool a4 steam locomotives 🚂
this museum is my happy place
A study in steam contrasts of the best known alongside in one room!
I have been going to the National Railroad museum since I was 4 and now I’m 21 and it still my favorite place in Green Bay

Staying in Green Bay for a few days next month. You just made my visit more exciting. Thanks! I have subscribed!
I crawled around inside the firebox of 4017 when I was a kid.
Very well done! Definitely check it out next time back in Wisconsin! Taiwan has a great train culture so if you are ever here, it’s worth the look. Again , fantastic video!
Thanks you for the great interactive tour
That Gresley A4 Pacific is truly a thing of beauty. How amazing would it have been to commute and see those pulling up at platforms
Great video, I gotta check it out
It's honestly so cool to see an English Steam locomotive there!
I got to see Big Boy 4018 at the museum of the American Railroad at Frisco, Tx.
You are a good teacher, gopernoper. I didn't know much about trains when I first started watching this, but I have since learned about British trains. Thank you for the lesson.
(Despite his saying he has a steam. engine "specialty", he sounds like her never really visited any train exhibits before.)
Cn 1563 is a sw1500 and Green Bay western 106 is a alco S6
It's rather small. I may be spoiled being so close to the Illinois railway museum but I think they've got a much better facility

Nice very nice
Only living 45 minutes from this place I really need to visit now and spend all day here.

Excellent video; now I gotta go😎
This museum use to be the home of Milwaukee Road #261, you should check out that steam locomotive
The gresely a4 used to have one of the flying Scotsman USA a tour coaches when Scotsman was on its USA tour. But there where move back to England shortly after
Wow that is a big museum
Wow the big boy has a lot of spigots and valves
In Leona WI they have a very rare logging locomotive
I got my picture taken on 506
Super!......
Great video Will! I need to get out there lol
GG-1 at Illinois Railroad Museum👍🏻
Never been in a caboose (before)? As a railfan, where HAVE you been?
Im going there tomorrow
I went there a week ago
At 27min 25sec that old Lake Superior passenger car, wow what neat windows, what year was that from? All wood design? I have one Ho scale passenger car that has windows like that but don’t know the time frame? Very impressive museum! That’s for showing us!
"Would've looked like"?
2716 another Kanawha is being restored
OMG the engine 101 seems to be an engine that worked in Korea.(not china)
As the umber plate has the word 소리
which is korean .its strange tho because it translates to the word sound🤔
Still its a amazing surprise
to see a korean steamer in America.
As only about 5 to 6 steamers are preserved in korea sadly

Yeah, great tour job you did! When I visited I spent a weekend there but still need to get back.
They're valves, not "dials".
Btw in England the “engineer’s” seat is called the driver’s seat and “cars” are called coaches! Fun fact for you Americans!
"Kanah?"

*we chose to ride the Mount Hood Railroad train in Oregon.
Engine 102 is unfortunately powered by a Diesel engine in the tender. It doesn’t look bad though.
My name is Ethan Armitage.
I’d like to go there...

Awesome video! Since you mentioned it, will you go and visit IRM and video it?
Very cool yes you are right the Arrow train is a ugly train but it is a very cool to look at do you have Facebook
Yes I do, my name on FB is William DeGoey
@@gopernoperstrains3160 ok cool
(He's never been to Europe, evidently.)
intresting that 102 steam engen has a booster on its tender i only know of 1 other loco that has it
102 is diesel powered.
@@davidng2336 its a steam locomotive not a desil
@@Wawa111_Mainline the tender is a Diesel engine. It’s very obvious on this video: th-cam.com/video/nxuSdXdRal4/w-d-xo.html
You move your camera way to fast
(It's pronounced "Kanawha": you're missing a syllable.
Do you have a Twitter account?
The music drowns out the narration.
The camera pans around way too fast and the viewer doesn't get a chance to examine anything.
It seems like every single video I see about this museum doesn’t chronicle one of the most interesting parts of their collection, the 1996 life sized Thomas prop.
MAN !!! I getting seasick watching this. Too much rapid camera movement I guess.
When you pose, as in then A6, you didn't need to wear the mask.
