I grew up in Florissant and went to the Museum dozens of times in the 60s and 70s. So great to see some of the restorations occurring. Hope to get back someday. Thanks for sharing this
I surely miss that Frisco Philly out on the main line it's a shame that they couldn't afford to keep Frisco 1522 in operation due to the rising cost of insurance caused by the tragedy of 9/11
The Burlington Route #9908 is known as the General Pershing. It was the Zephyr streamliner that serviced the line between Kansas City and St Louis in the late 1930s. It was the last Zephyr streamliner that was built as an integrated streamliner, as opposed to being pulled by an EMD E-unit. The General Pershing Zephyr was also a completely non-articulated layout.
The UP had 4-12-2 "9000" series locomotives. They had 6 pairs of drive wheels, one more pair than the 2-10-4 you saw there. There is one survivor, #9000, which is one display in Pomona, CA.
The Soviet Union built an experimental prototype 4-14-4 steam locomotive back in the 1930’s classified as the AA20. The design was based off of the UP 4-12-2 9000 class. However, it was a complete failure as it was too long to negotiate curves, it derailed easily, and the boiler couldn’t produce enough steam to keep the locomotive running. It was scraped.
Ahhhhh! Yes! Fond memories of this museum (just over 20 yrs. ago for me) July 2001 (pre 911) There was a working trolley you could ride point to point.
The following contact features a ripped off JNR C62 from nickel plate road, two famous streamlined diesels, a depressed Y6B, and big boy's brother, and a pair of NYC Mohawk Survivors (one is a ripped off FEF, and the other is based off of the standard NYC Hudson), and another NYC Survivor who is REALLY old
I'm local in St Louis and the museum of transportation is one of my favorite places..

what a great collection, love it,,
I am going to visit tomorrow. About 20 minute away and when 4014 came through St. Louis this summer I got hooked. Great job. Love a narrative.
Thanks for including Frisco 1522 during the visit. :)
30 years ago I used to do volunteer work here some of those trolleys that you see I helped move around the yard and getting them ready for restoration

I was there too during when 4014 was coming to St Louis
Very cool. Probably passed right by you
@@RailfanDepotCincinnati Actually was chasing 4014 when it departed Poplar Bluff MO. But yes from what I've been told that it passed by the museum
Cool train video.

Thanks for the information. Appreciate you watching

There still is a working trolley. I got to write on that too. Very cool
They're going to hopefully expand the trolley route so that you can be picked up/dropped off at a station to be placed near the Auto Building.
Love this place 👍
I got to see the 844 in Kirkwood Mo. on October 18, 2016 that was quite a thrill.
The locomotive number 724 reminds me of patchwork hiro

When I was a kid mom and I would ride the trolley or as we called them street cars.
The way that screw works on the big boy tender reminds me of a pellet grill!
I think they had early plans of bringing 4014 into the museum, which would've been a hell of a sight, the two big boys next to each other.
the museums trackage couldn’t have handled that thing which is why they didnt
@@mratsfrailfan1894 OK. that makes sense.
