Only 150 years since this historic world changing event. It is amazing to see what the people of the USA have created since this time. I cant imagine what the world will be like in the next 150 ywaars.
Yeah but you do know that's just a replica of Jupiter right? And that the original ones where scraped. Anyway besides that I love the replica versions they made.
Were you plugging your ears like that Ranger at 5:45? LOL! Great video, Gary. I like how the rail heritage is so well preserved in the US. Great video.
Rail heritage is not nearly as preserved as it is in England and Germany. How many locomotives sit rusting in "Museums - actually purgatory for old engines to rest in before the city or museum gets tired of them and turns them into rusting hulks or scrap iron. There are very few operational steam locomotives int he USA while hundreds of them are rusting away.
After the civil war.... Abraham Lincoln set out a decree to build a railroad to reach the west coast ... Unfortunately he didn't live to see its completion in 1869 with the final words... "DONE" President John F. Kennedy also put out a goal for us to put a man on the moon by the end of the 60s Exactly 100 years after the last spike was driven home... In the year 1969 we heard the words... One small step for man, and a giant leap for mankind How ironic is that?
But now the US has fallen so low with the election of treasonous lawless Psycho Don and his law less treaonous Republican mob! How the US has sunk so low!
Both locomotives are amazing.
From Australia terrific Visio thanks ..James.
I can't wait for 2019, it's going to be a big celebration for the first transcontinental railroad.

Also those Hooter whistles.
They should lay a section of the old route from Denver to promortory and call it the Denver & Promotory railroad
They sure did make beautiful machines back then.
I love those bells! 👍
Not many people there for the big event! It's too bad that the original engines were not saved!
I thought the 119 used to have a tri-tone
I CANT BELIEVE THAT THE JUPITER STILL EXISTS
Are you referring to the original of this reproduction?

I can't believe the Jupiter and union Pacific 119 still operational.
They also made replica's of Jupiter's sisters.
Me neither I just can't believe it either.
