The LSRM Youth team visit the huge #227 inside the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, in Duluth, Minnesota.
This Yellowstone class steam engine is the largest steam engine on display at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and is part of the class of locomotives that were the largest and heaviest that were ever built.
#227 was capable of hauling 180-190 ore cars loaded with iron ore from the mines in northern Minnesota.
Learn more about the museum at www.lsrm.org

As an American, I support your decision. I've seen visited this Missabe Monster a few times before and I highly recommend it!

As Miles, I am very happy about this positive response! I would love to give you a tour of the place. Amazing people, and amazing trains! Hope to see you sometime this summer!

As a resident and historian from Duluth itself, we welcome you to our fair city to see our wonderful trains.

If you do, make the drive north to Two Harbors just north of Duluth. There is another of these (#229) on static display at the Two Harbors Depot Museum.

Great video of DM&IR 227. It’s great to see DM&IR 227 preserved along with 225 and 229. While four of their other siblings were scrapped after they were unable to be preserved. Those were 221, 222, 224, and 236. Here’s how I would imagine if all four were preserved to this day. DM&IR 221: Could’ve been displayed at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum located in Calera, Shelby County, Alabama. DM&IR 222: Could’ve been displayed at the Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. DM&IR 224: Could’ve been in operation to this day. DM&IR 236: Could’ve been displayed at Wales, Wisconsin.

Very impressive example of an articulated steam locomotive, I am very satisfied that the DM&IR preserved locomotive 227 along with it's fellow brother locomotives 225 and 229 within the state of Minnesota. I would really like to travel to Minnesota for myself in the future to visit this railroad museum and see locomotive 227 in person, the DM&IR Yellowstone type locomotives are among some of my top 10 personal favorite types of articulated steam power.

I envy this kid. If I wasn't the shy kid growing up, I'd love to host videos like these, mimicking Jeff from the I Love Toy Trains video series. You did a great job introducing the Missabe Monster, Miles!

The famous Southern Pacific cab-forwards are "reverse Yellowstones", essentially a 4-8-8-2.

Very nice video! Well done hosting, Miles Pham! I would love to see one of three preserved Yellowstones restored to Operating condition since Big Boy 4014 was restored, but it's very unlikely, but however I have a Greg Scholl DVD about Yellowstones, so I can experience seeing them run even in the vintage footage.

I wonder if 227 will get a full mechanical restoration to running condition cause with UP 4014 and C&O 1309 in operation with the eventual return of UP 3985 it would of been nice for a massive iron giant like a Yellowstone to be running. Think of the possibility of railfan flocking to the museum to ride 227.

@nssrrailfan6443 4 ай бұрын

It will not. We do not have enough track to run it, and it is fine where it is now, with wheels turning. Fun idea, but we would likely never do such.

Did steam engines ever use oil to heat the steam

@marcusmadsen4991 4 ай бұрын

Yes! One example of a modern day oil conversion is the Big Boy #4014 as seen in the video.
