You lucky dog ! If I had life to do over again, I'd hook up with a railroad. I always feel at home near the tracks.

That would've been cool.

Same here WVR 2503 willamete valley RR.

Me too.

Actor

Alan because of his father new everyone in Hollywood and had a famous seafood restaurant and was a all-around good sport and was well liked by everyone.

she kinda did, the mantua 4-6-0. but it would be nice to see a new sierra number 3, especially how popular she was and still is

And both the showman's engine and the wooden replica, built for the closing stunt, still exist.

Agreed and hardly a coincidence that most politicians are lawyers.

they’re only sorry for getting caught 🤥

sounds to what happened in the UK

Respectfully, the skipper on Gilligan’s Island was played by Alan Hale’s son, Alan Hale Jr.

Duh

also appeared in a steam engine film called the Iron Maidrn. I believe.

From train engineer to skipper

You know, I even thought as a preschooler that he had a funny way of stopping a train. I'll bet it didn't do the rails any good, either. The show was being aired in Britain in the late 1960s and was one of my favourites, and that's when I watched it originally. I never saw it again until last week! Great plots, eh? Every single episode seems to involve some scuzzball trying to pull something nefarious. Perhaps that was considered a winning formula by American television executives in the 1950s.

@@mosseisleyYT Or it was possibly quite an accurate reflection of life across the Pond?

@@mosseisleyYT Maybe The Adventures of Superman set the "scuzzball trying to pull something nefarious" standard.

@@JohnDavies-cn3ro In current times, that is certainly true, but I'm afraid no country is immune. It's a shame what's happened to England too, with such a dignified history.

@John Davies Yes, it was especially dignified when those four knights lopped the top of Thomas Becket's head off.

😂

now days, Ginger would be the master mechanic

He was hiding in the caboose while boinking MaryAnn.

Dub played a minor role in Back to the future 3. As we know the same locomotive was in both

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

he possibly said that because he hadn't heard of a Dutch Clock before

yes it is

Ask Uncle Joe - he would know.

I was wondering that too, but probably not xxx

No. The series took place as if the crash never happened. But, in the episode that had Morgan's Marauders he did crash the train on secret orders from Midwest & Centrals president Nathaniel Carter

@@DubPaj the wanted to scrap it that's way Casey caused it to crash

Nope

No sir. That was William Bakewell

Plus a rogue run in the wee hours. A firing offense.

Have to admit I cringed at every stop that was made! So hard on drive wheels of loco. Supposed to stop slowly & evenly minimizing wear & tear on equipment. Great series!
