Great video! Some of my personal favorites from the land up north would definitely be the Jubilees, since relatively small steam engines tend to be overlooked in railroading history in favor of larger, main line engines. The Selkirks are also underrated IMO.
I can give a little bit of context as to why CP 2839 is here in SoCal. After her last operational gig being the grand opening of the Blue Mountain and Reading the locomotive was set off to the side and eventually sold off. After a period of switching hands, 2839 soon became in danger of being scrapped during the 90's before J.B. Nethercutt purchased the locomotive and had her shipped via flatcar to Sylmar, California. There she would debut with the opening of the Nethercutt museum in 2004 and from then on she is taken well care of by the museum staff whom I spoke to back in 2020. As of 2024, the museum installed a roof over the entire locomotive. Her place of residence may seem strange to some, but apart from being saved from scrapping it's also just cool to have such an iconic class of streamlined locomotive essentially in my backyard to visit.
CP's F class 4-4-4 Jubilees are criminally underrated, they're just essentially 4-6-4 Royal Hudson but compressed into a 4 wheel driver locomotive and they tend to be obscure.
Wow! The CN 6043 in the B & W intro is on display in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. I pass it regularly and have memories of its being moved from a siding less than a block from my home, down a major thoroughfare, across an army base and up a residential street in an upscale neighbourhood! Never did see it in action so seeing it here was a real treat! Thank you very much sir.
The U-4 streamlining was the result of National Research Council wind tunnel testing to prevent smoke from entering the cab or settling along the train rather than the usual reasons given for streamlining. The standard CN designed whistle was a five chime whistle, designed by my father when he was in the mechanical engineering office, and produced bu McAvity Foundries in St. john, New Brunswick.
Heheheh, gave them permission to call them really usef- i mean, royal hudsons I loved that I also liked when you said at the end; hey guys, im the Winnipeg schizo, and i would like to ask where i am and tell you 'thanks for watching' I personally will subscribe, bc you are so incredibly funny😂
Im surprised you didnt do the u1fs, dispite being semi streamlined i still personally would count them. I wish the CNR had more streamlined locomotives, imagine how the k5a would look like with a cn styled torpedo streamlining
I get that you've improved ALOT since this video's creation, but I'm still slightly disappointed that you failed to mention the CN U-1-Fs which were semi-streamlined "bullet nosed betty" and have 3 surviving members.
A model railroad club in my area I am part of offered to paint 5931 because it's in bad cosmetic shape, but for some reason, the locomotive's owners turned them down.
@@TheWinnipegRailfan It looks like a million birds relieved themselves on it. The kicker is the fact they just restored 2 passenger cars and they maintain 2 steam locomotives. The park is really popular and they make a lot of money. It's probably the stupidest decision they've ever made.
Multiple steamliners were made for Canada, CNR and CPR had a couple of iconic streamliners, CPR K1A was based on the CN confederation classes which were a series of 4-8-4s, Confederation series was made In 1927, 1 year later the K1As would be made In 1928, then with the H1As which were built in 1929, then the H1Bs built in 1930s, Something rather Interesting from 6060, Is that it’s 4-8-2s original designs were originally going to be a 4-8-4, but this was a time period In 1944 where metal were fragile during the war, so they had to downgrade it to a 4-8-2, Also they had the Royal Hudson’s which were made In 1937, Same year the UP FEF classes were made, Good part too Is that unlike the US where there steam program closed In 1952, The Canadian steam program didn’t close down until the 1960s, All of these built by the Montreal Locomotive Works, (MLW.)
Fun fact cp did had northerns and some were streamlined but how ever they are not really well known unlike cn’s but there is a surviving class but they are not streamlined there are numbers 3100 is in the science and technology museum and there is another named 3101 but I don’t know where is located
As someone who lives near the Lima Locomotive Works, I dunno if you're joking with that pronunciation, but out here, there aint any real Spanish heritage, mostly German, and as such, ya remember those horrible Lima beans? Lima as in the town in Northwest Ohio, home to magic Berkshires, GS-4's, and other god-tier engines is pronounced the same...Lime-ah. Oh, and we discredit anything Thomas...no train waifu, no credit, give it to Baldwin.
I hate to break it to you, but saying that something needs to be done about the steam locomotive man that’s time money and work unless you want to go personally go give your own time and money to go do those things they just don’t have the time to get around to those things
That’s owned by a completely different company , I don’t necessarily agree with the condition of some of the locomotives up there in Scranton myself but it is what it is. We can just be happy that they’re still here.
I absolutely love how you’re basically AmtrakGuy365 but on crack
Wow I’ve never heard a statement so true in my life! 💀💀💀

Respond if you want to wake up😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
I’ve never really seen anybody reference the confederation classes, it’s mostly talk about H1Bs

The editing is insane, the intro of this is so amazing, it feels erratic but I'm here for it
5:31 I saw CP 2839 At the Nethercutt Collection Museum in Sylmar, Los Angeles, CA. It's the second Hudson I've seen so far
I also saw it in 2018. When I saw it. it was in need of a paint job!
I used to live in Winnipeg. He knows the struggle. Subbed
Great video, I have seen them all, at least the preserved ones. The Selkirks must of been an amazing sight heading for the spiral tunnels.
All of CP’s and CR’s streamliners look like they took the edges and smoothed them out in blender
Yea true
Great video bro! Keep up the hilarious edits and jokes you do! 👍
Heheheh, gave them permission to call them really usef- i mean, royal hudsons
I loved that

I love the Jubilees!
I have a brass model of 2929!
If I was rich enough, I’d buy and restore the real engine!
Yeah true
Nothing much has been said about 2928. If i remember, it was being cosmetically restored but no news or photos have been said about it in years.
0:01 that rat or mouse got me for some reason💀
wanna be amtrakguy365 outro havin goofy ahh, nice steven welch shout out too...

would u-4b class 6400 be steamed both CN and GTW.
I didn’t know your a railfan Iam too🥰🥰🥰🥰
that intro has me rolling holy shit!!!!
I love the Jubilees, I wish we got engines like them in the US
I know there were 444s, but i don't think there were many streamlined
@@TheWinnipegRailfan there were a couple but they were just weird looking.
The Jubilees actually look good
My favorites are the CP streamlined Hudsons and the Selkirks
Love the Jubilee
Ive actually had the chance to go and see CP 2860 recently and its still dripping oil to this day. Also you are speaking yappenese
Wild and crazy.
man frogot about the U-1-f class and its 6060
Oh, I did want to put it in, but it's not FULLY streamlined, like 2860 or 6400, 6060s is just the nose pretty much, lol
still it is one of the imporant locomotives but i see what ya getting at@@TheWinnipegRailfan
@@TheWinnipegRailfan The Royal Hudsons, Jubilees and Selkirks are only semi-streamlined.
Even the King was a foamer! Wow foamers can even be at the top of the hierarchy! lol 😂
Hey Winnipeg, not to be THAT person, but at the beginning (not the intro, but the shot of AFT 4449, and that shot only) what music did you use for it?
I've got you under my skin by Frank Sinatra
@@TheWinnipegRailfan Thanks, also I loved the video, (along with all of your other commentary videos)
At 2:40 the first line should rather say Montreal-Quebec "Viger" than Toronto-Montreal.
Fun fact cp did had northerns and some were streamlined but how ever they are not really well known unlike cn’s but there is a surviving class but they are not streamlined there are numbers 3100 is in the science and technology museum and there is another named 3101 but I don’t know where is located
3101 is on display outside of some steel plant in Saskatchewan or Alberta I believe
@@TheWinnipegRailfan nice thanks dog
Yeah 😎
Woah! Were did you get that H1 footage from?
I'll have to find the video, but it's here on TH-cam
@@TheWinnipegRailfan cool, thanks
@@TheWinnipegRailfan also do you perhaps know where the 2929 model at 1:17 in the video is from?
Mulch gang for life
Bro, you forgot the Canadian National U1F 4-8-2s.
Yeah, I wanted to but 6060/6077, etc. Arent really streamlined like say, 6400 is
@@TheWinnipegRailfan but if they were fully streamlined that looks similar to the New Haven I-5, then it would’ve been nice.

Nahhhh. The CP 0-6-6-0 is WEIRD.
GMD f7a.
You legit forgot 6060.
I didn't count it cause it's not streamlined like how 2860 or 6400 are.

I was gonna put it in, but it's not really streamlined like 2860 or 6400
