Here in Prescott, Arizona we have a tourist shop called "The Galloping Goose"; now I'll always associate the unique "Depressionmobile" with this shop! Very interesting video, which led me to wonder whether the Geese led to the introduction of the "Highboy" type of rail vehicles.....

Would be neat to do a feature on each Goose left behind. Always been a fan of rail cars and will watch a feature on one any day.

What a fascinating broadcast. The railroad was certainly ahead of its time as similar vehicles appeared in other countries, for much the same reasons, that of economics. It is amazing that so many have survived as these were withdrawn from service before the preservation movement took off in a big way. The people are absolutely delighted with this video presentation and are very grateful for the work that has gone into it.

Thev RGS was 20 years too late. Railcars like the Galloping Goose with standard parts from trucks or busdes were common in Germany and France from 1929 on like the Wismar railcars in Germany or the Billards in France. The Wismar railcars had 2 motors and cabs so no turning around on the end of the branch line was nessescary. Always funny to see that Americans overestimate "their inventions" because an lack of general knowledge.

I remember in the 1960's as a kid and I saw # 5 sitting by the old depot. I ask mom about it and she old me the story. I thought it was amazing then and still do I like to see the history of the goose, keep telling the story.

I grew up in Telluride in the 1960s. We used to have one there that we used to play in. It was later moved to a different location in Telluride. It was very neat. Thanks for the history lesson. Nicely done.

My mail arrives early. Is truly awesome how our imagination runs wilde so they were true railfans to create galloping goose no. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. trains. "Good idea" Than to spend high cost of currency for equipments and resources to build trains

@toomanyhobbies2011 Жыл бұрын

The Goose starts at 9:00, no idea why they covered unrelated information before that. It's clear the narration made some stuff up. The drive and chain setup was a common drive line on trucks at that time. It wasn't some kind of bicycle/car contraption.

in the galloping goose at Knott's Berry farm is not running at this moment they haven't been able to use it for at least a year and we don't know when it's getting fixed it's a bummer because it's the one right I have not gotten to write it Knott's Berry if everyone can write to Knott's Berry farm or get online and tell him they'd like to see it running they'll finally put the money into it

can someone explain me why it had to have air brakes I don't understand that I'm totally confused if at ram without air brakes for years why did it need air brakes all of a sudden or is that just something that the United States government had to have a hands in and make it happen because they're the big bad wolf

I'll see if I can pull a detailed explanation from our narrator.
