I hope you enjoyed! I spent 8 months on this video so I hope it was worth the wait! I spent a long time learning new editing software's so that the video can look better than the last 2 episodes. Stay tuned for the next episode!
@@holgerpellmanncduwallenhor5826 thank you! I’m glad my effort paid off. I’m using CapCut to do the more fancy visual ‘s and an Apple MacBook to edit the more simple parts so that I don’t have to overload CapCut. I also lowered the music volume and got a better microphone to up the sound quality.
I took Amtrak's California Zephyr to Chicago in 2007 just to see the Pioneer Zephyr at the Museum of Science and Industry. So glad it was restored. Loved going through it. Got to see a bit of railroad history.
You did a nice job showing some of the first non steam powered streamliners. Of them all the Burlington Zephyrs were the most famous. I am glad to hear several were saved. As noted elsewhere there also was the Flying Yankee that ran in the New England states and is also saved and being restored.
I am kind of at a loss for words as there wasn't any mention of the other Zephyr located in Lincoln NH called the Flying Yankee. The Mark Twain Zephyr is currently being restored at the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad. Great progress has been made and it looks beautiful.
Those early streamliners were imported in HO scale brass with excellent models painted to perfection by AHM and Overland Models for the M-10000 and by Challenger imports and Nickel Plate Products for the Zephyrs. I had the AHM M-10000 in 1985. An excellent article on the Union Pacific M-10000 with HO scale drawings appeared in the December 1983 Railroad Model Craftsman.
@@TrainMaster26 eBay has one right now up for bid. It's a 4 car set in the original " City of Salina " paint scheme. It was $495.00 a couple weeks ago and is now $469.00. The paint job on it is perfect. Those kinds of models were done by professional custom painters using air brushes with moisture traps and lettering was done with water slide decals. Probably Champ ( Champion Decal Company ) or Wm. K. Walther's decals. That's why they looked so good. I bought my AHM 4-car M-10000 set in 1985 for $695.00. My AHM set had the later scheme and with the brown shrouded trucks. In 1991 Overland Models imported two different sets. One 3-car set for $900.00. and a 4-car set for $1200.00 and that was over 30 years ago. I can tell you those two sets were top quality and like all high end HO scale brass, they were duplicated from blueprints and imported in very limited quantities. That $469.00 price on the AHM set on eBay now is a starting bid. Every once in a while you will also see an unpainted set up for grabs on eBay. 👋
The Chicago Great Western used McKeen cars for a large percentage of their passenger trains. The Boston and Maine also ordered a near duplicate of the Pioneer Zephyr named ‘The Flying Yankee’, which replaced the RPO compartment with additional seating. ‘The Flying Yankee’ is also being restored to operating condition! The Pioneer Zephyr may be seen in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois.
Interestingly, EMD startued out doing competing power cars to compete with McKeon's cars. You would think that the PRR's experience that lead them to redesigning their box-cab P-5a locomotives to center-cab P-5a(Modified).
A this shit go hard ngl, I love trains been since I was 10 years so props to you for a cool video, also what kind of editing software you use there some sleek transitions that elevate this video, love it man keep up the work.
Thank you! Im really proud of this one. I used Capcut on mobile to do the fancy edits and then I took them all and imported them into iMovie to stitch them all together. Not the prettiest way to edit but im happy with it!
Have you thought of making a series like this one but with British locomotives? Your first video could be about the history of the LNER A4 locomotives.
It would be an interesting take on the series, unfortunately I’m not well versed in British locomotives. If I did enough research though I think it would be a fun sequel!
@@TrainMaster26 isn't it interesting that we have three British locomotives here in North America which are Dwight D Eisenhower, Dominion of Canada, and Waddon?

The speech was much better. Thank you for the improvement. Which editing software do you use now?

I spent ten seconds making this comment.
@Your Local Historian Thanks! I'll try to make more in the future.
I took Amtrak's California Zephyr to Chicago in 2007 just to see the Pioneer Zephyr at the Museum of Science and Industry. So glad it was restored. Loved going through it. Got to see a bit of railroad history.
I am intrigued by these streamlined trains of the past. They were very luxurious and fast. Something that lacks in today’s trains.
4:02 Holy crap that switch could have caused a lot of damage if not done perfectly! 😳
Yeah that seems really unsafe

4:02 steam train: OH NO A STREAMLINER!
streamliner: OUT OF MY WAY!
My home state Alabama actually had it's own streamliner train set called the Rebel. You should check it out at some point.
The Rebel? THE GULF MOBILE & OHIO RAILROAD’S REBEL?!?!?!?!
Enjoyed watching a documentary on these advanced trains.
the most beautiful trains ever built - greetings from Germany!
I agree, welcome!
Very enjoyable video! Thank you and well done 👏 👏
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I spend a lot of time on these so your support is very appreciated.

I forgot to mention that one! I can’t wait to see the mark twain zephyr back on the rails in all its glory though.
Nicely done history of these trains!
Thanks a lot! It makes all the effort worth it to see that it’s appreciated.
Nice video! New subscriber!
Thank you!
Can you do a series on how Australia used some of america's EMD F Units to make the Class B, S and even the CLF and CLP?
That sounds like an interesting idea! Ill have to do some research on it and see if I can make a good video on it
8:13 is such a sad picture .

@@williammcgeehan3424 alright, I’ll have to take a look at that! It sounds very high quality
I like the Burlington Zephyr
Bring back Art Deco engines, please.
So short lived, they should have been kept .

@@TrainMaster26 isn't it interesting that we have three British locomotives here in North America which are Dwight D Eisenhower, Dominion of Canada, and Waddon?
They’re truly unique pieces of British/American history. I personally have seen Eisenhower in person and it’s very surreal.
@@TrainMaster26 have you also seen Dominion of Canada and Waddon at the Canadian Railway Museum?
Unfortunately I haven’t been to Canada but if I did I’d definitely try to make my way over there!
There was the Flying Yankee was a B&M, streamline locomotive
4:04 how did the steam driver just BARELY miss the Zephyr??? It still confuses me
I heard the mark twain is getting restored to operating condition
Thats correct!
The M1000 looks like the Oscar Mayer Train
W
only w's
W
0:00 the right one looks like a rejected snowpiercer design
like train
The M10000 premiered actually in 1934.
It was unveiled in 1934, but didn't enter revenue service until January 31st, 1935, which was what I was referring to.
It is sad that once famous American Streamliner ended its life as ugly flatliner.
