So, my dad grew up in Danforth, ME, which is only like half an hour from Vanceboro. And after watching this video for the first time, I asked my grandmother (my dad's mom) about this event, and she told me the entire story from my grandfather's father's perspective. Gerald Greene, I believe his name was, and as it turned out, he was the one of the railroad policemen that took Werner Horn into custody. As a matter of fact, it was his very first day on the job. Later, in 1917, he was drafted into the army, and fought in the trenches. After my grandfather was born in 1938, he was drafted again into the army in 1941 and was assigned as a tank engineer in North Africa. He rose to the position of tank commander, and after the war in Africa was over, he was transferred to Operation Overlord during the D-Day invasion. He stormed Omaha Beach in the 3rd wave, and he was told to leave all of his kit on the boat, because he would find everything he needed on the beach from dead soldiers.

"Fun fact": the guy at the embassy, von Papen, later became Hitlers vice chancelor. One of the people charged at the Nürnberg trial.

As a guy from Germany I just have to say... This is just awsome ! Your imitaion of the German language / talking made me laught so hard ! Love your content Hyce !

“Imperial German accidentally makes a key mistake by assuming the train timetable is accurate” just (pardon the pun) tracks so well. Also if kAN ever comes down to the Museum, get him on the show with a trash can helmet to cover his face if he doesn’t want to show it

Inspector Carr Horn, immigration officer for the State of Maine, famous for 1915 Vanceboro international bridge bombing

Always love these fun episodes and learning/laughing along with “Citation Needed”. I’ll see if there’s any fun stories from the Wilmington & Western and the Rockton & Rion to submit for the next season.

Film these during open hours as a new museum special event? I'd pay good money to watch this live... Assuming I was anywhere remotely close to Colorado. XD

These 3/4 idiot shows ROCK. They never fail to leave me laughing SERIOUSLY hard. Sometimes I even forget to breathe, I'm laughing so hard. Whenever the limes come out, I start laughing, and at the end I always exclaim "HYCE!" If you four hadn't been museum railroaders you DEFINITELY could have been a comedy act! I could DEFINITELY go for more Citation Needed.

I love the use of 346's bell as a stand-in for Mystery Biscuits.

As a ww1 and ww2 and train nerd I like it 👇 thanks for the likes

Can you talk about prairie style architecture used by railroads? No one has talked about prairie style yet and it looks quite interesting on railroads

i woke up for this, i do not regret it.

These seasons are wonderful! Cheers to more!

18:40 As someone who has played D&D, Carr Horn is a vibe

You should do one for the USS barb who is credited with sinking several ships and a locomotive

This has been hilarious every Time! Cant Wait for Season 3!

love citation needed always look forward to them, but getting the second one makes me a little sad cause that means no new 3/4 idiots episodes for a while.

Great video! Your 3/4 of an idiot videos never cease to make me laugh. The Blazing Saddles reference was great lol.

You should do this one Leaked audio reveals US rail workers were told to skip inspections as Ohio crash prompts scrutiny to industry

Can't wait for season 3 maybe flying scotsman us tour would be pretty good for Citation Needed

On a side note, my dad owns the exact same brand of engine lift that sits behind Leighton. Love these videos, so sad to see season two end, so excited to see season three. Can’t wait to see who the next special guest is.❤

That bell sounds really, really good.

Next season Citation Needed on the Great Locomotive Chase!

Love the story! The Demoman joke reminded me of a locomotive that appears in TF2 that apparently is currently at the Colorado Railroad museum. DRGW #50 if I’m correct.

Hyce should talk about how Germany 2nd poorly attempt on the railroad during WW II how it was over before it even began.

🎉 THE GRANDE FINALE 🎉

Alamosa. Alamosa. Alamosa! More! More! More! More! So much fun guys. Thank you.

So cool to see Hyce and the other 3/4 of an idiot cover a topic involving my province! I was wondering why Vanceboro sounded familiar.. it's right across the border from the rail hub of McAdam, New Brunswick, which has a STUNNING chateau-style railway station/hotel that the small town just restored recently. Also, all the railroading Hyce brought me into inspired me to take a book out of the local library on the rail history of my New Brunswick - it is expansive for such a small province! So many interesting stories. From milling tycoons building loads of narrow-gauge to profit from the government subsidy of land-for-rail-mile, to trying to build a rail line from the Bay of Fundy to the St. Lawrence to bypass the winter ice, to building a SHIP RAILWAY to CARRY WHOLE SHIPS 25KM OVER LAND from the Bay of Fundy to the Northumberland Strait (the Chignecto Ship Railway) and more.. it's so cool knowing all of this happened here! A shame it all got torn up in the 80s.. P.S. No Brett, it's in New Brunswick, not Newfoundland! Newfoundland's the island on the far far eastern end, and was still an independent British colony at the time believe it or not. You probably got mixed up with their St. John's vs our Saint John.. it happens a lot..

The title reminded me of how a ww2 sub "sunk" a train.

I always love these videos, there’s never a dull moment, also those German imitations had me rolling on the floor laughing.

You guys have a great time .lots of laughs . Have a great week .....a good story also.

I'd put the bell cord under the table for more discreet operation

Never in my life would I think I would hear a man yelling “lime that man” to a man holding a lime wedge

"Lime that man. LIME THAT MAN!" - Mark "Hyce" Huber

Going with the current disasters theme on the show, I recommend looking up the Dover Oklahoma bridge collapse, which resulted in a massive lawsuit

Finally something related to war! Thank you for the bell 346! And a question for you hyce, what is your favorite bass guitar and standard electric guitar.

Great video and story.

Super funny & great story Hyce!

Loved it can't wait for next one

Yes! Please do more of these videos! Great for a good laugh, and the extra train history is nice too! 😁

😂 can't wait to finish this on lunch break

Love the video hyce

Love it! Lots of fun! More please! :D I'd send stories if I had them.

This was awesome lol! I believe Brett is 4 for 4 on the Citation Needed shows. As always, great job and hopefully there will be another season of the 3/4 Idiot Show soon.

I’ve been underdressed (by modern standards) in Maine during a mild winter and to think that he was out there for THAT long is just crazy!

i've been waiting for a new citation needed

Beautiful. Could also do the Dupont (Washington) train collision.

38:37 Actually "Three quarters of these people are idiots" would be the perfect title for this imo - clear Tom Scott reference, but it is a different vibe, and also a nice reference to the three quarters joke. And the last quarter is whoever is currently giving the correct answer :P

2:20 You have been clipped, sirs. Have a good day.

Geat keep it going fun stuff. now for logging that is a kick.

Funny and fun video. I was laughing the entire time, especially when the limes went flying

By far some of the most entertaining railroad/history/preservation content on KZfaq. The 3/4 gang vibe so well with each other and can do well with whoever the (un)lucky fourth happens to be. Can't wait for more Citation Needed, Two of these People are Lying, and 3/4 Idiots!

Omg, you idiots absolutely hilarious! Hollywood couldn’t improve on the looniness of that story! Thanks Mark for another “idiotic” season (my lime shield is up 🤣)! Looking forward to the next season’s installments! Cheers to you all.

The ryker maneuvers was because before next generation the actor injured his back. Which is also why ryker puts his leg up anytime he can.

Love the Blazing Saddles references!

How about the German plan to do the same thing but most US east coast train infrastructure during WW2. I like this

They get better and better

34:20 a highly acceptable Who’s Line reference. Bravo

aww man, the air compressor didn't sneeze

Love these specials. And yes, I've got so many ideas for both Citation Needed and Two Of These People Are Lying.

I have to say hyce you got some good chuckels out of me grüße aus Deutschland

i like this hope for season three with more stores and trying to see who lies

oh cool a story that kinda takes place in New Brunswick very nice

Please let Season 3 begin tomorrow

I LOVE this show. The timing, the history, the citrus! (In a German accent)

0:41 Be careful Brett doesn't fly away.

Car horns in that era went awoOOOga

inactivation is the term used to describe that formal shutdown of a combat unit. the Lime heard across KZfaq

The name "Franz von Papen" sounded familiar to me. Well, turns out he later, among other things, became Hitler's Vice-Chancellor...

THis story needs to be a film XD

I love Citation Needed.

I have a complaint. There aren't enough episodes.

the story of how a theme park in California (Knott's Berry Farm) got Rio Grande engines

Something cool is the newfoundland railway was actually narrow gauge so I order to get to St John you had to change gauge on New Brunswick also newfoundland wasn't part of Canada at that point

You should do this on the big boy crash

We need to see slow-mo shot of limes exploding after beeing hit by Bret's machete! Style points if the fragments hits somebody's face (watching act of slashing vigorously on a table levlel or in the air) :D Also an advice- just tie longer string to a bell cord ;)

Not a very noteworthy story but a good friend of mine was a higher-up for the C&NW and later UP (he’s retired and now runs the interurbans at the IRM). He was telling me of a picture that hung up on a wall in an office in Chicago of a C&NW stack train that got stuck under a bridge with a sign that said “no stack trains”. It’s probably in a box somewhere in the dungeons of the Union Pacific HQ now lol

I like to imagine grandma is just smiling at her idiots as they play their game and borrow her bell

I have a suggestion for a future Citation Needed for an incident near my area over 100 years ago, but all I have is newspaper articles, not an official incident report from any investigation agency. A: would that be enough?, And B: if so, where shall I send it? Loved this story, and the hijinks of the 3/4 of an idiot crew. Can't wait for next season!

I know a railway story from Czechoslovakia about the mysterious light that killed 118 people.

Train+WWI go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hyce, you and Kan should get an Eureka and name it Edward on the C.R.A.P line

I've got to remember 1-800-NOT-MY-PROBLEM, that part about killed me😆

The more I watch the more I laugh and yeah…. Can I be in at least one for season three… I’ll drive out to golden for it

Could you talk about the time the New York central strapped a jet engine to a Budd Rail Diesel Car?

Could we maybe see Jimmy’s friend Dusty from the museum next? 😛

sounds like a plan from an 80s spy cartoon

These are pretty good, I'm looking forward to Lawrie Rose being the fourth person someday!

Some day, years from now, someone's going to find a lime in the stack of '20 and nobody is going to know why.

The more and more I listen to this (I'm at the flag on arm part), the more I understand why they lost the war...

346 has such a lovely sounding bell. Such a great addition to this fantastic nonsense Hyce, you should have kept your moustache just for this occasion-wax it to look like Kaiser Wilhelm 😂

Intriguing

9:56 I like to think this is similar to how south Park episodes get written

WOOO!

No! Please no sound file of that one, but some engineering for ringing it! It is sort of the random fun to see if Hyce can manage to get a single gong or two out of it :P

hearing "smoke and a pancake?" I instantly was like rekideki Dutch bastard.

That was hilarious 😂

Not so fun fact. The disaster at Lac Megantic in 2013 occurred on this same line. I did hear of this incident before but I didn't hear of all the funny details

yes

They should have yeeted that big with schwere gustav railroad gun
