My first "train" was a push along Tootsie Toy freight train. My first electric toy train was an American Flyer tin type O Guage passenger train. At that time I didn't appreciate the historic nature of it. Then my last toy train was a "top of the line" Lionel freight train. Instead of having Lionel on the sides of the tender it had Pennsylvania on it. While the American Flyer only had a headlight, Lionel also had a light in the caboose. It also featured a box car where miniature "5 gallon milk cans" were pushed out on to a platform and a flat car that carried logs. And the logs could be dumped into a tray by remote control.
I got hooked in 1968 on a ride on the Keweenaw Central ex Copper Range on its original tracks before the Copper Range was abandoned. My dad said damn that kid loves trains so I got my first lionel for Christmas. Now at 57 I can say I never stopped collecting yeah I've got it really thick in my blood. Good show keep them coming. It's nice that your wife enjoys rail facing with you.
Im always on the Amtrak + Train every week to the museum / I also enjoy screwing around ‘ At train clubs and lots of them . Ah Some times being random and enjoying a hobby this or Video recording or photography or music ,+ It all add up to value of your time ?!’ Keep it up 👍🏼 cheers 🥂 😊
The rail fair in 91 waas to rase money for the new part. Never happened. BUT NOW. looking GREAT!!! Should open soon. Looks like the new part is bigger than the old.
I went there in August of last year and it was amazing. I knew so much information that a docent and a few other employees even offered me a job there! Too bad I live hundreds of miles away, in Colorado.
Toured the Musem on 10/13/16, Really amazing to see all the trains, Particularly the X2924. M;y host, Paul, Clement, showed me the hinge between the two sets of driving wheels but I haven't figured out how the pivot between the pre-heater and main boiler which I think must be there. A can't miss if you are in Sacramento and have at least three or 4 hours, preferably longer, to spend. Kids of all ages will realy enjoy the museum. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for keeping history alive i need to get to some train museums i need to stop lagging behind ive been pretty lazy sense the virus deal but ill be getting back to things hopefully soon thank you for covering this museum sense im not able to be there now
I have went there many times. I also had film the California State Railroad Museum in June 16th 2019. Our favorite steam locomotive is UP 4466. Also the SP Cab Forward 4294 was the last surviving AC-12 class locomotive too. It is the last surviving Cab Forward locomotive from the Southern Pacific.
A Must visit for everyone. Don't need to be train happy as some of us are. Well, Well done. I am surprised by the quality of your videos. Every Sunday it's a treat to swing by and See what Toy Man had been doing, along, with his Bride The two really enjoy the trip. Brilliant!
Hi. that truly is a great museum is it not? I love the bay area in general and Sacramento is right on my list at least the old Town part. The rrest of it. is a little boring.
The Central Pacific faced unimaginable challenges. It was more than just the locomotives that were shipped around Cape Horn to California. I believe every length of rail, and perhaps every track spike, had to make the journey by sea around the Horn. It's surprising the Company stayed solvent long enough to reach Promontory Summit.
Steve stribel with the o scale railroad we cover so often lives in a house made from an old silo cast from cement. The cement was milled in the UK and shipped around the horn to the Bay Area, up the river to Sacramento and over the transcontinental railroad to Ogden and by wagon to Salt Lake City. Amazing time. We need to get out your way. Love the place.
What a fantastic museum! Myself and my ol Lady are gonna have to take a bike ride out there to visit that museum. Thank you for sharing this! Fantastic looking video also, as professional as anything out there.
Been there several times. Got to talk with a docent who worked the mail car, Chicago to NY, back the next night, sorting mail as they went. The dining car is fully set with the actual dinnerware used. Very luxurious.
Jerred Boshears Take disposable shoes for stepping over all the homeless and their droppings. Politics is turning this state into an S hole. This is an awesome museum.
The Pacific Coast Caboose also ran on a narrow gauge shortline near where I live(30 mins north in San Luis Obispo, CA) known as the Pacific Coast Railway. This shortline had another Railroad competing with it(Standard Gauge) Known as the Santa Maria Valley Railway/Road which is still in operation today(I'm going to a BBQ at their new Transload facility tomorrow).
Just outside the Museum, is the Sacramento Southern Railroad where you get to ride behind the Granite Rock Company number #10. A beautifully restored 1942 0-6-0 Porter tank engine steam locomotive that hauled rock and gravel in quarries around Hollister California. She was restored in 1997 and rebuilt again in 2015, and runs every weekend from March-September as well as the Christmas season. It's a nice scenic ride along the Sacramento River, and riding the train is a great start to a visit at the Museum.
That's unfortunate because it's a really nice ride, and Granite Rock #10 hauling the tourist trains in Old Sacramento really brings more to the story on how Railroading was like during the California Gold Rush.
The CP Huntington is the basis for many miniature amusement park and zoo locomotives. they were not steam engines, rather they mimicked them. I loved trains because of one of those mimicks at my local zoo.
I use a music library called smart sound and effects from Sound Ideas. I use this at the studio, so I have rights and use them in the shows. I have music rights to a bunch of other music, but never sure if I can use them on TH-cam, so I stay away. Anyway, smart sound is great.
Glad you liked our "little" museum. When I was there many moons ago one could not get into the cab on the Cab Forward. One question do they still show the history of the railroad movie?
Toy Man Television you would be very impressed, it has the locomotive that pulled the royal train in 1939 as well as an lner a4 pacific and a dozen more steam locomotives, with one of them (cnr 713, a 2-6-0) you can actually go in the cab and move the throttle and all the other controls.
You should visit the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo CA, they have got alot of interesting equipment and are currently restoring a steam engine there!
Nice video. Sometime you'll have to go visit Railtown in Jamestown, CA. It's where the Sierra Railway met up with the lumber railroads. It's the train that used to be used in movies. Very cool place. Another incredible sight are all the trestles of the Camas Prairie Railroad South of Lewiston, ID.
They gave us a great tour of the roundhouse. They were in the process of restoring one of their steam engines when we were there. It had been fired up earlier that day and still had a bit of pressure, so they let my blow the whistle. It was a soft wailing sound instead of the usual strong note. Unfortunately the valve stuck open and we got to hear the whistle blow for the rest of our tour of the roundhouse and turntable. I'll be at the Hostler's train show in Ogden. We usually go on Friday night, or Sunday. I have a small N scale layout, and always enjoy seeing the layouts.
*The 4-2-4 Chase at the California State RxR Museum* was originally built for an estate railway, only to have the original purchaser unable to pay; the Big Four snapped it up for commuter duty in Sacramento, but it was best suited for track inspection due to the limited pulling effort available from two drivers. Eventually I'd like to see the 2-4-0 Baldwin 6/22C SerNo 3689 polished up, given two cosmetically-restored Westinghouse air pumps, and repainted in a maroon-and-gold scheme consistent with her last duties on the V&T (matching "21" on the sandbox sides and the flanks of the present cab, "Virginia & Truckee." on the tender sides) - a full running restoration would probably require the services of O'Connor Engineering and the Dixie Boiler Works for a new alloy-steel boiler and matching CNC-ported cylinders and valves, as the stock lap-jointed iron won't stand more than 50 PSI.
+B. C. Schmerker Love to see them run again. I'm a bit more concerned with the "Bowker" #21 as she is just left out in the shed and has see no improvements in decades. And the poor "Reno" 11 left to die in Arizona.
That thumbnail engine I thought was a toy. But it was full size! Woa! An amazing looking museum all and all. I'd love to go there. That cab forward engine reminds me of a proposed design for a quintuplex engine. Pity that never got off the ground, still I guess the problems with the triplex engines didn't inspire anyone to go larger. Do any of your videos include triplex locomotives?
+Toy Man Television u r welcome !!! You have a very nice collection from what we've seen. Thanks for showing us your toys! Can we come over n play too ? Lol
HI!!!! WELCOME on board!! Only one runs, not in the video..... A 1930 UP loco. THe new museum will be all "newer" locos, and I think several will run. Opening SOON!!
Have been. Forever. Sort of retired these days. Sort of.... Did you see Garagemahal, Garage studios and Grizzly Adams, the 3 g s? Sort of explains it. Sort of....
Portland is awesome. Just in case you watched it, we are NOT like the show. The museum is incredible. You should visit soon, because ORHF is about to sell one of their rare diesel locomotives, and you should see it before it's too late!! SP 4449 is an amazing sight to see, and you really need to see her for yourself. The museum is also planning on putting in a turntable!!
Never saw the show I guess. Applied for a job there years ago. As A kid we went often as I had a great Uncle near there. Smoky industrial place. But I loved it!! These days it's just cool with hints of the "old Portland" around.
Been watching your vids for some time now. Just subbed to you. Say, you going to ever make it to Florida for some adventures? Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Dan
the children's book The Little Engine That Could is also like the Huntington engine I wonder if that's where they got the idea for the train for the book
Wait a minute?! Wasn't the California Railroad Museum the main filming location for PBS's "Great Scenic Railway Journeys" TV Show featuring host David Holt?
Yup! Do check first thing tomorrow morning, tomorrow’s video is back at the museum, but they may force me to take it down. So make sure you get on it early just in case I’m forced to take it down by the museum. I’m giving away some of their secrets!
I really wish the State Government here would help the Australian Railway Historical Society out and let them build a museum like that. There's a huge empty workshop right near their messy, unsafe museum that they've wanted to convert into a museum for decades and it would be great to make something like that.
Quick question what's the name of the music playing when we see the cab-forward? I swear I can remember that from some old VHS tape about trains I had when I was younger.
Hi guys. The music I use is from our library called smart sound. I buy rights to all of these things to use at the studio and so use them in the show as well. I have something like 1000 pieces of music available and perhaps 25,000 sound effects for use in toy man videos
ZooTycoonLord hummm not sure. However it’s modeled a lot AND there is a 2/3 size version for amusement parks with a glass engine. So they May have used one of those?
Can be seen in CB De Mille's Union Pacific, a GREAT locomotive, THe Bolker, also at Sacramento, as running in the film. BUT C.P. Huntington is being dragged about on a wagon.
+Toy Man Television smart sound. Is that the name of the song? Most of it is played on a harmonica. I've looked everywhere on the Internet. I keep typing in "smart song train song" they don't know what I'm talking about. This song was heard on the first lots and lots of trains video in 1998.
@@ToyManTelevision ok then it must be a different Dan - out of Elgin IL has made 2 locos and the Lincoln train car if its the same guy those are standard guage locos i seen him testing one at Fox Valley Trolley museum in South Elgin IL
Yes!!! They have a line down the river for about 2 miles. Then they run around and pull back with the loco back first. Steam on the weekends. WOW. Missed it when we were there.
Man! I should check this out. I would love to someday build my own railroad. I have an idea of a steam locomotive (custom class as well) that I would love to build someday.
I'm going to put a a show on a design that can fit in any house!! ANY!! I hit o this plan back in like 76. Even in HO can fit into a mobile home. ( I did that) In N you can have a huge railroad the even looks fine in the living room.
+Tyler Brown I use a music library called Smart Sound. Been buying titles for over 10 years. Cool part is I can rearrange the bars and sometimes the instruments to really alter it up. And make the length come out exactly right.

Wow, that museum has really been updated and is much better than I saw it in1987.
It would make my day too go to Sacramento to California State railroad sometime museum sounds great. Keep up the good
work toyman
I have one of the original Central Pacific Railroad spikes from 1860 and it was hand forged in Sacramento California
I rode the Amtrak to go there it was pretty fun there. My favorite is the train going out of the tunnel. I going to go there soon again
Back in full business. Yea!
THE C.P. HUTHINGTON is my # 1 . Like one of the early toy trains many of us had
Odd but super cool. Two drivers! Wow.
Nice. We have a great train museum near Montreal, Canada.
Love to see it post Covid!
We’ve been to this museum and loved it.
Love the whole area too!
Been there pretty cool place.
Never boring!!!
That museum really hasn't changed at all since my childhood. I would love to go back and see it when it opens the new exhibit.

Just a great place. The national narrow gauge convention is there this year in August
I grew up going to the Sacramento Rail Museum, and it holds so many amazing memories for me, it's an awesome place to go
An American treasure. The whole of old town as well.

IRM makes CRM look like a dog and pony show you really need to hit IRM in Union IL it will blow your mind!
We were there. Have a show somewhere on that. Here on the channel. Huge. We were there all day and saw less than half. Really want to get back.
Wasent this place in the great senic railway journeys series?
Yup!
Is the C. P. Huntington standard gauge or narrow gauge? Because I can't tell.
Standard. Most trains were, even back then.
Can be seen in CB De Mille's Union Pacific, a GREAT locomotive, THe Bolker, also at Sacramento, as running in the film. BUT C.P. Huntington is being dragged about on a wagon.
What's the name of the song played showing the cab forward steam locomotive?
+Pinchie08 It's from my music, Smart Sound. I buy all this music from them.
+Toy Man Television smart sound. Is that the name of the song? Most of it is played on a harmonica. I've looked everywhere on the Internet. I keep typing in "smart song train song" they don't know what I'm talking about. This song was heard on the first lots and lots of trains video in 1998.
It's 2018 now and they added a bullet train
Who added a bullet train? Love to see that
It’s a proof of concept at the museum.
there is one other difference between Dans Eureka and this loco ... the Eureka is 4 foot 8 inch standard gauge
The Sonoma and the Eureka are almost identical. Both 3 foot gauge. Minor differences. Even the same paint and pin stripes
@@ToyManTelevision ok then it must be a different Dan - out of Elgin IL has made 2 locos and the Lincoln train car if its the same guy those are standard guage locos i seen him testing one at Fox Valley Trolley museum in South Elgin IL
You forgot southern pacific 2467
The V&T No. 21's name is pronounced Bow- ker please. Thank you.
Boys and there towns
What’s the music at 11:53?
That’s the end of the show at some other point?
at mark 9:45 what is the song i know be for that was the maple leaf rag
It's by Robert Band. Americana
Does this museum run any of their trains by any chance?
Yes!!! They have a line down the river for about 2 miles. Then they run around and pull back with the loco back first. Steam on the weekends. WOW. Missed it when we were there.
Man! I should check this out. I would love to someday build my own railroad. I have an idea of a steam locomotive (custom class as well) that I would love to build someday.
I'm going to put a a show on a design that can fit in any house!! ANY!! I hit o this plan back in like 76. Even in HO can fit into a mobile home. ( I did that) In N you can have a huge railroad the even looks fine in the living room.
Nice. I'm also thinking on also building a 15" gauge railroad someday, and(If I get enough money) eventually evolving into a standard gauge railroad.
Did you see the show in the 15" in Sonoma?
Tom Sefton exhibit 7:54
What is the title of of the song at 1:48, if anyone knows please tell me know
+Tyler Brown I use a music library called Smart Sound. Been buying titles for over 10 years. Cool part is I can rearrange the bars and sometimes the instruments to really alter it up. And make the length come out exactly right.
You can buy it on Smart Sound it's called Riding the Rails by Country Jamboree
its 2020 now, is it open???
CSX_gaming hi. Nope. We were there about 6 months ago. Not sure where the project is now.
What songs did you use?
Richard Band. From Smart Sound. I use all Smart Sound. www.smartsound.com/
If you ever get a chance come to Iowa to the Midwest Central Railroad in Mt. Pleasant just visit mcrr.org for more information
Love the name. Karyn has lived in Mt Pleasant. (Utah) Called Hub City because it's right in the dead center of Utah.
🇺🇸🚂👍😊
