So happy to see that Collin made his way into this series with our favorite trio of historians. Collin had a part in every farm series. Ruth wore pieces of every period costume she wore from Tales of the Green Valley to War Farm. Henry even was feature too!

I find it interesting that walk-through railcars didn't become common in the UK until the 1910s apparently. Even 1840s cars in America had a center isle walk through configuration, I suppose since especially in the west trips were much longer and stations weren't close enough to have bathroom and refreshment breaks every couple of hours.
I suppose a lack of corridors persisted for a long time in Britain for the same reason clerestories did in America: tradition. But innovation came along eventually...
Train carriages in Britain have to be a lot smaller to fit through the tunnels and bridges, with the result being that it made less sense to devote so much interior room to something that did not increase carrying capacity.
He’s a handsome devil! I like his dark features with his blue eyes. Another looker with similar features: Jennifer Connelly (actress) is also very lovely (dark hair/hazel eyes). 🥰
I would love to watch a tv show like Downton Abbey that takes place in a late Victorian Railway Station. The lives (and drama) of the railway staff and their passengers.
Interesting, I want Ruth to either do a podcast, with dating advice, or a school where she can teach me to be a lady. I might be too old and far gone tho ✌️
That and a Cotton Textile Mill where the original old mill is put back into working condition with a historic Victorian staff who live either at the mill or in the village. The train can be in the sametown with their staff. A working town during the Industrial Revolution.
Good to see the trio back at it...Ruth has eschewed the costuming for this one but was she ever spry on the carriage roof !...Kudos for posting this...
“What have you done with your hair, Peter?” “Nothing” 😂 I still love the smell of musk because my friend’s dad used this perfumed oil and he was the one who spoiled us as kids. smells are so powerful, I bet you could get an entire generation’s memories with one wiff of it. ❤️
At 77 I still loath the smell of lavender, an Aunt used to pinch my cheeks very hard along with a personal comment, her white kid gloves reeked of lavender
I used to wear Aviance Night Musk until they quit making it. How miserable I felt. One smell that makes me a bit sick is patchouli because a friend in college's refused to bathe and covered it up with a generous sprinkling of patchouli.
I read a wonderful story about the first trains in Japan. A number of VIPs were given their first ride on a train. Being polite and Japanese they took their shoes off before getting on the train. The train pulled out and left the shoes on the platform.
AHHHHHH, traveling for these 3, seemed to have been, truly enjoyable! I wonder if we could've said the same thing for passengers of that period. Well done! Even Alex, seemed halfway realistic. At least in this video! 😀👍
"We are the navvies who work upon the railway, swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun. Layin' down tracks and buildin' the bridges, bendin' our backs till the railroad is done." -Gordon Lightfoot, "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"
That train detonator was the coolest part of this video lol I didn't even think about what they did in emergencies when they were stopped to alert other trains !!
Back when I worked as a "railwayman" or as we were called by most, the then defunct name of Porter, we were still known as railway servants, loved it :D'
I've been in a water-powered sawmill (Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia) - that one is very similar to the one in the video, but it *does* have a water-powered winch to pull the logs out of the mill-pond for you, and it has a water-powered auto-reverser. That would most definitely be a labour-saver!
I live near a train line in Australia. When there are workmen on the line, but the line is still in operation, it is common to hear those triple detonators going off. In this case, I think it is to warn both the train driver that there are workmen ahead and to slow down, but also to warn the workmen that a train is coming.
When doing a distillation ethanol is what you are trying to get. The first liquid that comes out is Methanol as it evaporates at a slightly lower temperature than ethanol. Methanol is created during fermentation and depending on the yeast used up to 10% of all the alcohol produced can be methanol. This translates into about 1% of the wash. Any distiller worth his salt discards at least the first 2% of a distillation.
A fascinating video. I’ve watched several in the series so far. On this one, I’m struck by the differences in passenger carriages from the US and the U.K. a quick look through the inter web shows that the US had open coaches - no compartments, just seats on either side of an aisle - as the norm by the mid nineteenth century. The vestibule was developed in the 1880s to provide an enclosed link between cars. In the U.K., at the same time rudimentary corridors were appearing between a few compartments on individual cars. They were for the WC. If it was a mixed first and second class car, there would be a corridor for the first class WC, and one for the second class one. It seems Britons took shorter rail journeys with perhaps longer stops, and more effort at social stratification? The video mentions that corridor cars and vestibules really only caught on in the 1920’s in the U.K. I suspect the greater size of the US, coupled with the extremes of our weather, played a big role in the differences.
9 pints of beer a day? Considering it was safer to drink beer at the time than water, that makes perfect sense, considering they had to have something to drink if water was not drinkable.
I recommend the wonderful movie The Titfield Thunderbolt. All about an early British locomotive. In my area of New York's Finger Lakes, there was an 1835 railroad that was horse drawn and feature a steep incline with winches to pull cars up a half mile 1200 ft high hill. It was the same for the new locomotive when it arrived in 1840, and was named Old Puff. They pulled it and all passengers up the long hill south of Ithaca.
I've always admired the unsung Navvies who did the work. And wonder what happened to them after the work was done? Where they went, what they did, their children and grandchildren, on down to the present time.
"Cars in the 1880's had no corridors". I'm mindblown. There's so many western movies featuring trains with corridors. Maybe in America it was different?
Anyone know what that card trick Pete Heat did was called where he swapped the in Peter Ginns cards quickly? Also a whole series on Victorian cons would be amazing
Truckers have to beat on their tires because it's very difficult to identify a flat on one dual wheel by looking at it. Were the train's wheel tappers listening to see if a wheel was cracked?
same train they using for the limited east-west amtrak service . picks you up in Painesville Ohio at 2:30 am if your heading east. And the alternate day 4:00 am if your headed west .
How many documentary’s do these people have I can’t get enough I thought I had watched them all then found this so does anybody know how many they have and what they are called please?
32:25 I guess the producers of this program didn't haven't enough in the budget for 3 pairs of safety glasses. He was one hammer swing away from a piece of rock blinding the dudes across from him. Good thing everyone kept their vision so they can keep bringing us these awesome shows.
A lot of Oak gets planted...it IS a renewable resource after all.... (and that wasn't much of an oak tree anyway..imagine the ones they needed to build the ships of the line! About 6000 - mainly oak - to build HMS VICTORY)
Did British railways always use screws to fasten rails to ties (sleepers)? In North America we always used spikes. Nowadays we use a kind of heavy clip, but there are plenty of spikes left!
What I love about this kind of video, is that we are archiving the earliest things we can get our hands on for future generations' history.
