Thank you so much for this list & beautiful visuals. And I like reading comments where other people mention their favorites (it helps if they could also mention city/state).
Glad you had Strasburg in the list. Got a lot of good memories from that railroad as my Grandfather used to work on the railroad as an engineer and also helped in the shops. Also as an Iowan, I'm not upset that Boone and Scenic was not included but I know it's Chinese steamer tends to rub some the wrong way (my grandpa included) but you did inadvertently show one steamer from a different Iowa railroad. Shay #9 on the Georgetown loop RR clips is actually from the Midwest central RR in Mount Pleasant IA. They had swapped Shay #9 for Georgetown Loop #12 for a few years and both are now back at their rightful homes. If you're ever back in Iowa during the Midwest Old Thrashers Reunion I'd highly recommend stopping by for a visit. And Boone is worth a look to provided you have the time.
Cumbers & Toltec Scenic is where it’s at. When I went, there were real cowboys herding cattle. Some of the cattle were even blocking the track. I didn’t take long for them to be on their way.
Nate Vince I also went there for my Birthday gift, I boarded in Antonio and at halfway stop for lunch it snowed very hard! And the descend to Chama was in a blanket of snow. Best experience I ever had.
Wow that is a very interesting video. I always love trains especially steam ones. I'm sure America 🇺🇸 has lots of amazing steam locomotives. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
My favorite steam scenic railroad that I've road in the past was the Grand Canyon railroad. I love the experience of traveling to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, and then get really excited on the return trip only to get caught in the middle of a train robbery.
I've got to be honest, I'm not surprised that the number 1 and 2 spots went to the Cumbres & Toltec and Durango & Silverton respectively. They both use the original equipment that ran there in the 1900s, as well as most of the original structures, plus the beautiful scenery, they're both more than worthy of the rankings that you gave them. If I were to do a top ten steam train ride list, I'd also give the number 1 spot to the Cumbres & Toltec. When my father and I visited the railroad last summer, we enjoyed every minute of it, both our ride on-board the train, and being able to walk around the Chama yard and see all the structures and equipment.
Here are some honorable mentions: Grand Canyon Railway Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad Great Smokey Mountains Railway Tweetsie Railroad Niles Canyon Railway Essex Steam Train (The Valley Railroad) Mount Washington Cog Railroad Abilene & Smoky Valley Wilmington and Western Conway Scenic Railroad
Excellent video! I’ve had the pleasure of riding the Virginia and Truckee back when it was known as, “Queen of the Short Lines” since it’s trackage only went from Virginia City to Gold Hill. Engine 27 was the only Steamer running at the time and I think no. 25 was near St. Mary’s surrounded by a wrought-iron fence. Two others I have been on that were not mentioned in your video: The Heber Valley RR in Utah aka the, “Heber-Creeper”, I was lucky enough to ride their 2-8-0 and visit their shop where an engineer gave me a tour of their other steamer which was in the middle of having its boiler tubes being replaced. The other was the Great Smokey Mountains RR. Another beautiful 2-8-0 and another gorgeous journey through the woods.
I see you were at the Lerro Productions Photo shoot in Strasburg last year. I was there also. That was pretty cool seeing both of the operational N&W steam locomotives working together
My Top 10 Favorite Tourist Railroads 1. Strasburg Railroad 2. Western Maryland scenic railroad 3. Down East Scenic Railroad 4. B&O railroad Museum (Probably Isn’t A Tourist railroad) 5. Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum 6. Cass scenic railroad 7. The Steam Railroading Institute 8. Texas State Railroad Museum 9. Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad 10. Illinois Railway Museum Ps. I’ll Be heading up north to Maine Very Early Tomorrow morning PPs. You sounded enthusiastic during this video
I almost put WMSR on this list but decided not to because they haven’t run steam for a few years now. But they’re getting really close with the 1309! That will be really neat!
One of my best friends and I really enjoyed this video. I have ridden half of the tourist railroads listed. Cass Scenic Railroad is my favorite touirst railroad in the U.S. Can't wait for the next top 10 list.
In 2016, I rode the Lumberjack Steam Train from Laona Depot to Camp Number 5 in northern Wisconsin. I bought a ticket to ride in the Vulcan 2-6-2 cab for the three mile trip to the camp. The Engineer and Fireman explained the operation and they let me shovel a couple scoops of coal into the firebox. Camp 5 has an exceptional museum on the logging industry and it has a petting zoo to feed the animals. They also took us into the backwoods in special vehicles to further explain the industry in the area. The Lumberjack Steam Train would definitely qualify in the all encompassing category of train museum experiences.
Here is an idea for Steam Trains Galore 8! You should go to the Duncan BC Forest Discovery Center And Film Cowichan Vally Railroad #25. The locomotive was built in 1911 for log service in the Cowichan Vally Railroad. It was retired in the 1960's and the railroad was gone forever. They planned to scrap the locomotive and then that's when Duncan BC Forest Discovery Center came in at took the locomotive for sevice around the museum every Sunday in the summer.
I hope you know, my 2 year old grandson, Matthew, is your biggest fan! He absolutely ❤️ your train videos and will pick yours to watch every time! His favorite is definitely the steam trains 🚂.
Great list! I've only been on the Strasburg, Tweetsie, Walt Disney World, and the TVRM, but I've love to go on all the railroads you have on this list!
Even tho I'm very biased, as a born and bred West Virginian, Cass Scenic RR in Cass, Pocahontas County, West Virginia is the best! I've riden the CSRR dozens of times since, since I was 9yo. (now 57) I've also riden behind Chessie Steam Special C&O 614 down the New River to Hinton, West Virginia in '78. I've also riden the Chattanooga Choochoo and a few others. The MAIN reason there's NO cell service in Pocahontas Co. is due to Green Bank Observatory in Green Bank, WV. It to keep electronic interference away from scientists looking deep into space. It ALSO used to be due to the US Navy base just outside of Franklin, West Virginia. Before the extensive satellite coverage, the Atlantic Submarine Communications Command was located there. Great video, really enjoyed.
In northern California, there is the Skunk train running between Willits, inland, to Fort Bragg on the coast. That's an all day trip; but you can also do half day to the halfway point. If you only want the steam train, board at Fort Bragg. From Willits, the first half of the ride is on a diesel powered train to meet with the steamer at the halfway mark. A shorter ride, though still enjoyable, is the Roaring Camp and Big Trees RR out of Felton in the Santa Cruz mountains. I only hope it survives the wildfires!
Questions for the yearly Q&A if you are ever going to make one 1. What is your favorite scale for model trains 2. What is your favorite aircraft, if there is one 3. Ever heard of the EMD FT series of locomotives?
I always have loved the V&T. I even managed to contact the president of the railroad to provide additional info about his railroad to use in my vid. But my favorite is roaring camp. They have year round trains.
4294 Productions also ignore Minecraft Productions he’s that guy who is bothering me that I said to you. He was The Army Train now Minecraft Productions.
Somehow I knew the Black Hills Central would make it on this list. I loved the Black Hills Central and I heard they finished restoring Black Hills Central 108. It looks and sounds great! I also heard they would be doubleheading with Black Hills Central 110 in October. Wish I could see that in person.
I like your train list the two that I like are the Durango and Silverton and Cumbers and Toltec both that I have done also i have done the Texas state railroad Black hills central railroad and the Georgetown loop railroad so I still got more railroads to go but someday I will get to them.
I would pick The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad out of Jim Thorpe PA. A scenic ride through PA's Lehigh Valley Gorge. Pulled by #425 a 4-6-2 light Pacific type engine.
Wow! What incredible steam train excursions. I also love your commentary Also I should add that I’ve ridden on Yosemite Mt. Sugar Pine RR, and it’s amazing! I highly recommend it if you’re in the area. It’s one of my favorites. Also, if you can, I highly recommend the Skunk train, if you can ride the steam train. Unfortunately when I went, I had to ride the diesel train. But I’ll say that it wasn’t a bad experience. I even got to go in the cab and hit the horn at one point. I was little so I guess they were obligated to let me do it
Let's not forget the Union Pacific's Steam Program. Big Boy 4014 is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world and the Living Legend 844 is the only locomotive to have never been retired. The Midwest is beautiful and the Transcontinental Railroad has a lot of history to it.
I would say the 2-foot WW&F in Maine deserves an honorable mention or is Top 10 material for a pure narrow gauge list. I highly recommend a visit there to any railfan.
Went the the strassburg railroad and road in the dining car. Got a decent cheese steak and the countryside is beautiful. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun trip ride in the dining car. Also don’t forget the train museum across the street.
I have ridden Durango and Silverton and the Cumbres and Toltec both and they were excellent. I now live pretty close to Cass and hope to catch a ride on it some day.
If I had done this, I would have put Swanton Pacific Railroad. However, during the CA Wild fires, majority of the railroad was burnt too the ground. They need some major help.
Hi Mike, as a long time lover of steam, thanks for the production. You sure left the best for last and I was wondering if the Cumbers and Toltec was sometimes hauling a money load as it was such a long track? The beauty of some of these beasts and the country the tracks run trough is something us in South Africa only see in various television series. What also strikes me from your and other productions are bridges on some tracks which, I presume has been in use for the same time as the track's existence. The Northern tracks next week?
Having ridden on 6 of the 10 you mentioned I would change 2 things. First off the Durango & Silverton has to be number 1. It's scenery is a little more spectacular than Cumbers & Toltec. So 1 & 2 need to be switched. Second I think you placed the Georgetown Loop a little high on the list. Growing up in Denver you would think it's my favorite. But I would put it below Tweetsie which you didn't mention. You should have done top fifteen so you could add The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Tweetsie & Three Rivers. But overall your list was fun. And your videos are just amazing. Beautiful photography!!
Hi! My son is obsessed with with your channel. I live in florida. Do you know of any good excursions here. Also do you know of an active BigBoy’s? He was so happy when I saw a retired one at Steamtown, PA
strasburg railroad is the only one i have been to on this list, i have been to it plenty of times, including to see the 611. but i would love to visit these other lines
Talking about trains I’m learning about transcontinental railroads pretty cool stuff imo. Even cooler since I live close to the Sacramento region and that’s where it all happened at.
We once went to the Northwest Railway Museum The train has passenger car from 1912 On the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad got to see a large waterfall
Thank You So Much, Mister Mike Armstrong, and You Know What, I'm Still, Still in Love with Steam-Trains of the United States of America so Much, You Know. You're the Best! And Happy Last Week of Summer Vacation Celebration, My Beloved TH-cam-Friend-Forever-and-Ever. :-D

Cumbers & Toltec Scenic is where it’s at.
When I went, there were real cowboys herding cattle. Some of the cattle were even blocking the track. I didn’t take long for them to be on their way.

if i where the engineer i would run over the cattle because you gets free burgers

When you ride heritage railroads, you,you’ll go back in time when railroads were the golden age in America.
Wow that is a very interesting video.
I always love trains especially steam ones.
I'm sure America 🇺🇸 has lots of amazing steam locomotives.

I love the sugar pine, I visit there all the time and it’s always so peaceful slowly winding through the trees
I have many fond memories visiting there over the years.

Who else loves Santa Fe 3751?
I hope it gets to run again after it's 15 year boiler inspection
Me
It’s coming back in 2021
Me
Questions for the yearly Q&A if you are ever going to make one
1. What is your favorite scale for model trains
2. What is your favorite aircraft, if there is one
3. Ever heard of the EMD FT series of locomotives?
So many railroads to add to my list to visit!
I've never been to the USA, but when I do, I hope to ride some of it's most famous steam locomotives, it's part of a bucket list really
Great stuff Mike, thanks
Another good one mate.
Love your channel! Thanks for the great video. Hoping to come over to the US to see some of the railroads and this has helped!
I love Cass scenic railroad the trees are beautiful
My top 3:
Fillmore and Western Railroad
Durango and Silverton Railroad
Strasburg Railroad
Awesome Video Mike
I always have loved the V&T. I even managed to contact the president of the railroad to provide additional info about his railroad to use in my vid. But my favorite is roaring camp. They have year round trains.

HTIAAGG.
YES!! I love Cass, i love only aboit 2 hours away from there and it is one of oir familys favorite spots to go
Great video! The music is a nice touch.
Great top 10 list!
Very nice video and interesting content. I prefer #10 and #9 due to their magnificent scenic environments.
Great job!
Great list - with lots of information

Thank you, Steven!
I like your train list the two that I like are the Durango and Silverton and Cumbers and Toltec both that I have done also i have done the Texas state railroad Black hills central railroad and the Georgetown loop railroad so I still got more railroads to go but someday I will get to them.
Fantastic video!
Cass scenic railroad is also SUPER NOISY!!!!!!!!1
I’ve been to the Strasburg Railroad many times, one of the best train rides ever!
Awesome video as always, Mike! I really enjoy seeing you’re vantage points, it’s very inspirational. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been on 4 of these!
Texas State Railroad (2003, 2011, 2014)
Georgetown Loop (2015)
Durango and Silverton (2005)
Cumbres and Toltec (2008)
One of my favorite museums is the Nevada southern railway. They just rebuilt a SDP40F, and are in the works of rebuilding a F-40
Very interesting now I know what railroads to go to when I take a trip.
Santa Fe 3751 is such an awesome steam engine!
When the GVRR/FWWR 2248 puffy comes back then it should make the list.
Great Shot
I would pick The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad out of Jim Thorpe PA. A scenic ride through PA's Lehigh Valley Gorge. Pulled by #425 a 4-6-2 light Pacific type engine.
Nice video 👍
Now I know all the railroad I need to go to!
Wow! What incredible steam train excursions. I also love your commentary
Also I should add that I’ve ridden on Yosemite Mt. Sugar Pine RR, and it’s amazing! I highly recommend it if you’re in the area. It’s one of my favorites.

I like the cog train to the top of Mt. Washington. A ton of coal is burned on the way up. The train coasts downhill, using engine braking.
How cool Steam Trains. (;
Santa Fe 3751 is the best steam locomotive✌✌✌✌!
No eureka is.
Let's not forget the Union Pacific's Steam Program. Big Boy 4014 is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world and the Living Legend 844 is the only locomotive to have never been retired. The Midwest is beautiful and the Transcontinental Railroad has a lot of history to it.
I’ve been on a few of these and they are all stunning
My #1 Tweetsie railroad. All aboard the Tweetsie railroad Casey jones let’s ride!
I would say the 2-foot WW&F in Maine deserves an honorable mention or is Top 10 material for a pure narrow gauge list. I highly recommend a visit there to any railfan.
Durango and silverton no doubts the best
Went the the strassburg railroad and road in the dining car. Got a decent cheese steak and the countryside is beautiful. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun trip ride in the dining car.

These are his opinions, sooo...
The Cog Railroad in the White Mountains of New Hampshire should be in this list as it is the world's first mountain climbing railroad.
Roaring Camp railroad in Felton, CA is my favorite. I actually have videos of Shay #1 "Dixiana" working
roaring camp is the best
Magnificent
I Love It a Lot
Muy buen video
Saludos desde Madrid

You should put the Tennessee valley Railroad Museum and the Great Smooky Mountain Railroad. Or including the Lehigh George Scenic Railway.
At last, a too 10 that isn't over exaggerated.
Hi! My son is obsessed with with your channel. I live in florida. Do you know of any good excursions here. Also do you know of an active BigBoy’s? He was so happy when I saw a retired one at Steamtown, PA
Great video
i just been at the knott's berry farm, disneyland and the orange empire railway museum.
Great video! Side question: At the 12:45, what was the fireman signaling or gesturing for?
strasburg railroad is the only one i have been to on this list, i have been to it plenty of times, including to see the 611. but i would love to visit these other lines
Would you do a top 10 heritage railroads later in the year or in next year's lineup of videos
Talking about trains I’m learning about transcontinental railroads pretty cool stuff imo. Even cooler since I live close to the Sacramento region and that’s where it all happened at.
I have a favorite it is roaring camp
Is the white pass and Yukon the only excursion run in Alaska? If so I’ll be riding it in may!
Awesome
I've road number 1 & 3 still waiting to do the Durango and Silverton
We once went to the Northwest Railway Museum The train has passenger car from 1912 On the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad got to see a large waterfall
Exquisite
Colorado is the king in rail and beauty
