EVERY SINGLE LOCOMOTIVE got STUCK in the snow on the RGS??!? [3/4 Idiot Plays Citation Needed 1x01]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2022
- Several months back we played jeopardy on the channel, and it was hilarious - but not terribly fitting for TH-cam. So, we decided to rip off @TomScottGo and his friends @mattandtom by playing Citation Needed as they used to, but flavored specifically around railroading and railroad stories. Hopefully you find this a great way to learn some history and get a few laughs, because lord knows we did :)

Oh hell yes! I was the one who found this story and showed you. It's fucking hilarious
Aye, it's been one of my favorites. As soon as we thought about this this idea came to mind right away.
What we need to see is how much did that railroad screwed up
I've got to ask, is there a list or something of all the mishaps?
@@gamingdoggo66 too many times
Where on earth did you find this story anyway? It could literally be it’s own book.
What I got out of this:
•The winter of 1938 was a *poor* time to be on the railroad
•How many times did something derail or get stuck? Yes.
•The RGS superintendent tried to kick ass only to get his kicked
•The RGS had good procedures in place for emergency snow rescues
And last but not least
•Sheep
Loved this. Was so hysterically hilarious!
Eric: Howdy howdy! 🤠
Hyce: 0:43
Now i get why Eric's hair and skincare are always perfect even working on a railroad museum garage filled with coal and dust
1:36 Air compressor: "Allow me to introduce myself"
The air compressor was like “Hello there” hyce was like “General Compressor”
That was the cleverest coverup for a failed sneaky fart I've ever seen, Hyce.
As the foreman of the shop I can attest that air compressor has the purge valve go off at the most inopportune times scaring most of us on a weekly or daily basis 🤣
@@dthom806 I have a feeling that's just air compressors in general cuz my big one that I have in my garage does this
@@dthom806 I officially love that machine
Man, one of the best examples of "what it is like to listen to train people if you're not much of one" in this:
"What's sadder than your girl?"
"223!"
"What's sadder than 223?"
"271?"
"Yes"
[Everyone] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean, I still laughed, but there are so many layers of understanding there hahaha
Yes, yes there are... Perhaps we need to talk about specific engines of the grande one of these days. Lol
@@Hyce777 please do, as someone who has gotten into steam engines like 1 month ago. It would be very useful. You could do a tier list on the engines and explain them. That would be fun.
The station manager said to the town “everyone who is here is now part of the railroad congratulations, NOW GET TO WORK!“
I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF THIS DONT MAKE MONEY, I NEED MORE OF THIS, GIVE ME NOW! "Dont tell dady we broke his choo choo" got me dead.
I have a headache from the laughter. Was having a terrible headcold but now through the power of jubilation I am feeling much better! There NEEDS to be more Citation needed with you guys!
Sold!
"We're ripping off tom Scott because we thought it'd be fun", YOURE RIGHT IT IS FUNNY
Poor 20. The PTSD from this one is going to take a while to smooth over again. I can imagine the amount of Benny Hill going on here in the re-enactment. Can't wait for the next one!
Don't worry our girl number 20 is going to make him pay dearly for his insolence for daring to remind her of that one time in 1938
@@1TruNub she is going to throw a bolt at his head
@@1TruNub she may be a darling little machine: but I do get the feeling 20 holds grudges...
Train crews: "How bad can it really get? Oh wait....this is the RGS..."
"And then it got worse" - motto of both the RGS and the Russian 2nd pacific Squadron lol

@@silaskuemmerle2505 "About 8, from all directions!"
Oh, man, the chemistry of y’all is amazing! I’m coming back for more!
also, “Sheep???” is definitely the “Panthers???” of this episode
I’m loving Citation Needed RGS edition, do more!
Done!
"Send hot chocolate. No, it's the Rio Grande Southern, send schnapps." Precisely the content I came here for. Well done.
Well this ain’t the polar express
the more I learn the more I realize the RGS really did just run on hard liquor and pure spite for about its last 30-40 years
@@sawyerawr5783 that's one of the best sentences I've ever read 😂
@@leto1596 and also, more or less accurate :D
I keep rewatching for "i don't think most circuses are as ridiculous as this"
Losing my mind trying to relay this video to my roommate who asked if I was ok after making terrible noises from laughing too hard at this!
I have lived for 14 years within pissing distance of RGS 41 and never known she was involved in the worst week of narrow gauge railroading known to man, keep the comedy coming
We absolutely need more of this. You guys are hilarious! And as Brett put it best "Although in fairness, I don't think most circuses are as ridiculous as this."
That was amazing. I died laughing when Brett said "That is a powerful level of fuck it"
i thought the rgs was bad but this proves me wrong. it was run POORLY.
"Yes but no." This really is Citation Needed.
Lol
By the end of it I forgot it was a RGS story and thought it was just another day on the ES&D
It's the [ES&DT] now, apparently. The [Eat Shit & Die Trying].
But yeah, same here XDD
pretty much the same energy
well if we are going by lore it's the SD&S (Shit, Die & Southern)
@@burnerheinz This is so true, but have they hired a goat?
I imagine morale was at an all time low that week.
Imagine how many bodies wearing green vests would be found in the Spring if this happened in modern day because everyone would have said "Fuck this, I quit!" And literally tried to snowshoe it home...
I hope we get many more of these. This is hilarious. Cheers, guys!
We filmed 5 or 6 in one sitting, so, there will be at least a few more for sure :)
@@Hyce777 Hell yeah. Can’t wait!
I'm starting to realize that the RGS was not that good of a railroad. But I was laughing the whole time. Like what the fuck man? HOW MANY CHOO CHOO'S DO YOU NEED TO THROW AT THIS PROBLEM?!
All of them, it seems. XD
@@carebloodlaevathein6732 and then more from other companies
I love this. It's like BSing in the shop, except there isn't the overwhelming feeling that you're supposed to be doing something productive.
Every day I learn how kenosha’d out the wazoo the RGS was in the funniest way possible-this is the newest, funniest way I have
This is an absolute riot of a video, and it is for that exact reason that we need more :D
Loved learning about the history (hilarity) involved in the incident, emphasized by the way in which the episode was formatted!
"on the Rio Grande Southern, Everything goes South..." - my brain at the moment when every single RGS engine is stuck in the snow
lol
I just watched this after listening to the story about the Seabees in Korea yesterday, and the symmetry between the two stories is hilarious. This one is "How did it go? Poorly!" on repeat; that one is the exact opposite.
That compressor had the best possible timing.🤣
Can't wait for the next one. Reminds me of a similar event on the WP&Y. IIRC there were two plow trains constantly getting stuck, derailed and dealing with broken rails due to how cold it was. When they were able to get everything to a safe place, they shut the railroad down and closed it every winter after. I think it was in the 60s but I could be wrong. Might make a good subject for a future episode
I procrastinated going to bed to watch this and I don’t regret it. I laughed way too hard 😂
Citations Needed needs to appear more often!
I HOPE Tom Scott sees this the only thing i can think of more funny than a bunch of guys riffing on a wikipedia article is a bunch of subject matter experts riffing on a wikipedia article about their subject matter
Since this episode talked so much about snow, Hyce. Have you heard about when CP had a locomotive and plow launched by snow?
.... No, but don't spoil too much, tell Leighton or Brett so when we change who hosts they've got more ammo.
@@Hyce777 is there a way to send it to them?
Nvm I found it
This deserves to be animated lol.
This video is the BIG FUNNY!!!
some pieces of Colorado railroad history that I wish was at the railroad museum are the remains of the two remaining diesels from the SSLV. If the museum got both officially preserved, that would make the place even more unique
Definitely the definition of a cluster frack 🤣
This was amazing! I nearly died at the part about the superintendant taking the last locomotive and the whole damn town with him 🤣
Really feel like you guys did the game justice. Felt like a Tom Scott video!
Wow, that was a trip! And the RGS's ordeal was something spectacular too! Hope you can do more videos like this!
We filmed 5 or 6 of these in one go, so there will be a season of them :)
I can't remember when I last laughed so hard for so long. And feel so sorry for sad engine crews for the same time
This is, honest to God, the funniest railroad story I have ever heard in my life!
One of the funniest episodes yet! Please keep doing more!
I come back to this every now and then to remind myself that things could always be worse. XD
I'm already going through withdrawal I need more of this
Look like I would rewatch it back to back at least once
You guys are having way too much fun. I'd love to come to Colorado to meet yall. I'm just one state over listening to this while working on my own locos for the state. I'm dyingnof laughter
I've come back to rewatch this one several times now, but now I've pulled up a map of the RGS for extra fun and context.
For anyone else not as familiar with the RGS alignment, I highly recommend looking it up, it's really helpful - and slightly depressing - to see the relative distances involved!
Oh wow that was incredibly funny guys.
Also "bless you, Mr. Air Compressor!" I never realized air compressors needed to sneeze so much!
What a coincidence, I was just rewatching some episodes of citation needed and planning to rip it off with my friends at a party of ours!
Hyce you need to do a history of the Colorado narrow gauge to explane all of this to us Brits!
Apparently so :)
laughed so hard I was crying. Excellent job by everyone involved, keep the content coming.
Ah, so this is what a normal day on the RGS was like. Getting everything stuck trying to save one thing
You guys definitely give off these Walmart Citation Needed vibes! Hope you do more of these!
I really liked citation needed and a very glad someone is picking it up and putting a railroad spin on it. There's alot of railroad stories that will work great with this format im sure. Even modern railroading gets insane.
These videos are some of the most entertaining things I've listened to in a LONG time!
As someone who is watching this more for the Citation Needed rip off than the railway stuff - this is great! And a hilarious story to go with it, too. (You're not supposed to count the points, though.)
Oh my gosh that was amazing! I was dying of laughter every 30 seconds 😂
Awesome story!! I didn’t know that event was so crazy haha 😂 Thanks for sharing.
This was great, so much fun to watch and laugh along!
This is so great, I know exactly nothing about the RGS, but think it's safe to say that I need to look into it more. Had me laughing so hard I had to pause several times to catch my breath! Would love to see the article this is from, sounds like a good read for when I can't youtube. Thanks for the great content Hyce!

@@Hyce777 Thanks! Looking foreword to EP 3
Thank you for this. I feel a LOT better about getting my truck stuck THREE times at a distribution center in Hopkins MN during their blizzard last week while trying to drop ONE trailer.
I was laughing way too hard watching this, that was extremely entertaining. Can't wait for the next one!
This week is the 84th Anniversary of this debacle! (Screenplay idea, Mark?)
Had to rewatch this. Brett at 24:58 summed it up perfectly.
21:12 "No, it's the RGS"
I was laughing at how screwy this rescue attempt became and your friends made for some wonderful banter, too! I'd love to see more content like this in future, Hyce! 👏😎
Ok that was awesome😂😂. We need more of these
That snow storm set off the largest cluster fuck in all of railroad history.
You’re channeling the rhythm and humor of TechDiff so well, i hope there’s more of this!
This video was super funny. I hope you do more like this
So it seems they either call you Mark, or they call you nothing... Or poorly...
You just have a hard time being Hyce on the railroad... Except on the ES&D :D
Absolutely love this format! Do More!
I don't know how many times I've watched this video... it's so great! The Rio Grande Southern had great locomotives, but it's luck was the opposite (To be honest, if I were a guy who owned a railroad that had been struggling for 93.75% of it's life in a very rough area on terrible track, I would probably want to give up and leave too). - Sid
What a fantastic story from march 1928 ha ha. They we're not so lucky that winter I'd say.
Fantastic initiative you'd thought of
Good too see your friends also.
Have a great day Mark 🤟🏻🐻🇩🇰
I was watching this at work. And I was laughing so goddamn hard, that my boss came into the breakroom, to ask me if I was alright...
There plans got derailed and I assume this is where we insert *Smells like Kenosha* here well done Hyce.
That was a story that is so insane you don’t believe it’s true but actually is, my god that was hilarious.
funny as somewhere warmer than the firebox. most definitely do more of these types of videos.
Omg that was hilarious. More of this please!😂
Lost TH-cam viewer here. I stumbled through marine shipping TH-cam and now I'm apparently in train history TH-cam.
So, you literally have the locomotive from the story right next to you? That's actually rather amazing.
Haven't viewed the rest of the video yet but I will assume it's good.
Anyway, train good. Car bad.
To quote Hector Barbosa.... "Aye, we're good and lost now!"
Hope you enjoyed. :)
RGS: "In terms of engines we have no engines"
That was the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! Can't wait for the next episode!
I am dieing of laughter oh my goodness.
More of these videos please
Man the rotary didn’t even blow up this time
I really enjoyed this, I needed a good laugh lol. Good to know 42 had her fair share of shenanigans on the RGS. Can't wait for the next one!
I was dying during this episode
this needs to be animated with all the trains and the entire town getting stuck in the snow
the 3/4 show was what got me introduced to you hyce and I have no regrets
Mark this was Awesome man. Do you guys plan on doing any more of those any time soon I really enjoyed it? Thanks ahead of time and I look forward to seeing more man!
Howdy Jeff! We filmed 5 or 6 of these in a row, so you'll see several more :)
@@Hyce777 sweet that’s awesome man thank you I just now started watching your newest one!
Y'all should do Two Of These People Are Lying with obscure railroad articles. Or, in the case it's a popular (yet individualisticly unique one, like Beep) article, Three Of These People Are Lying: who can come up with the most ridiculous lies!
If only the original Citation Needed was still going, in which case there could've been a location swap with Tom and his mates in this roundhouse and Hyce and Co. in a fancy TH-cam Studio in London.
Incidentally I've watched most of the original series, and it's gut-wrenchingly hilarious. My favourite episodes are the ones about the Norwegian butter crisis and CSX SD40-2 No. 8888
Now I want someone to make a movie about this story it's so funny
20 started this thing and goddammit she's going to finish it!
Hi Hyce! First of all, I love the channel and all the great content. Second of all, as silly as these are compared to the usual stuff, I find these really pretty charming and funny and would love to see more of them. Thirdly and most importantly: Are you familiar with youtuber TrainofThought? He does short snippets about railroading curiosities, especially pertaining to UK steam and recently did a silly RO video with his goofy friends called "3 idiots play..." I was SO convinced he must be playing RO with you guys I watched it immediately and was so disappointed that wasn't happening, I immediately decided to suggest to him and now to you it might be fun, time zone issues permitting, for you two guys to do a collaboration, possibly including your friends.
Either way, thanks for all the great content! I work on 1950s bowling pinsetters and some of the mechanical concepts between our fields aren't far removed.
I'm barely 2 minutes in and already laughing out loud 😂
you guys need to do a fun Collab with Tom and the technical difficulties crew, Idk what but just watching the into something could come up that is halarios
I have the feeling this channel is going to become way big!
I hope so :) thanks!
This is the most absurd railroading incident I have ever heard of, and it is absolutely hilarious. Thank you so much for making a video out of this, I needed the laughs.
Ok this was pretty cool great editing!
That was one of the funniest f'in thing i've ever seen. More pls.
Omg this is fantastic I needed this in my life
