Nice video. I'm friends with Larry Jensen, author of "The Movie Railroads," and also a writer on "Little House on the Prairie." He's written consistently about #3 and other movie star locomotives as far back as the late 70s. I highly recommend his "Hollywood's Railroads" book series if you haven't read them already. If you're interested in a follow up, the 2nd biggest movie star locomotive in the US is undoubtedly Virginia and Truckee #11, the "Reno." Who was owned by MGM from 1945-1970, and then Old Tucson studios from 1970-2021, and just recently bought back by the Virginia and Truckee railroad for restoration. In fact, you could probably do a whole video of the V&T locomotives and cars that were owned by Hollywood. If that sounds interesting, I'd be happy to assist in research. Also, I've seen "Diamond Stud," it was very boring, and not pleasant, and I genuinely think the film crew was more interested in filming the train than any of the naked women.

First time watcher, 13 year resident of Sonora, CA and have been on Kelly 3 times. Twice riding in the back and once in the cab where I got to pull the whistle on a special night several years ago where they actually had her roll into downtown Sonora as a thank you for all the support the city has shown Railtown 1879. Also as a bit of trivia, they still use the water tank they used for the opening of Petticoat Junction to refill Kelly's water tank. They had to put a support structure around it because of the age of the original timbers, but you can still see the tank itself.

I grew up in Jamestown, CA. and I went to school about a quarter of a mile away from Railtown 1897 which is her current home. I have ridden behind this locomotive multiple times, and have grown up around her. This locomotive single handedly inspired my current love for steam locomotion and is the bar by which I measure all other steam locomotives. I wish they hadn't converted her to an oil burner, but its good that they did. I remember when they announced on the local news that they would be filming a movie and that we could expect to see different color smoke around town, and one day we saw colored smoke coming up around where the delorean was unloaded onto the tracks in BTTF3. And when I was a baby I was taken to the depot to watch them film part of an episode of Little house on the praire, and Michael Landon asked my parents if he could hold me. Thank you for featuring her in one of your videos.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Old No. 1, aka El Paso and Southwestern No. 1. She's a 4-4-0 American that was built by Breese, Kneeland and Co. In 1857 (!) for the railroad that became the Milwaukee Road. She was the first locomotive purchased for an upstart railroad called the Arizona and Southeastern, later to be called the El Paso and Southwestern. She was in revenue service until 1924, when the Southern Pacific acquired the EP&SW. She's been in some films, including the 1938 MGM movie "Let Freedom Ring!". She's the only Breese Kneeland locomotive that didn't get scrapped.

THANK YOU, GOOD BUDDY! This, in my humble opinion, is the finest movie you've made. You've guessed it, I'm a big fan of old No 3, and its good to see a photo of her in original condition. Didn't know she'd been in silent movies as well. I watched 'Duel in the Sun' purely to see her 'walk on' part (along with 'Inyo') and, quite frankly, she deserved a better film for her first talking venture. Indeed, No 3 and Inyo were the only roles in the movie........ I caught her playing a walk on part in another TV movie - can't recall its name - where she's pulling a flatcar with the hero's horse drawn carriage up an incline. A few years back I restored a Tyco/Mantua model of her, and remembering all the fancy film liveries she's carried, did her up in plain, workaday black as herself - "Sierra Railway No 3" on the tank. Great programme - loved it all.

In the old days locomotives were assigned to specific engineer's. After church on Sunday they would go down to the railyard and polish all the brass on the locomotive so it would look good. They were also encouraged by the various railroads to personalize their locomotives. I knew an old engineer in the Train club who started as an eight-year-old Tallow boy on the railroad. Before rule G came into effect when he was a student fireman he said he could tell who was running the engine by the smell of the whiskey in the cab. Drunk people in the old days could perform jobs better than sober people do now. Railroading was a profession in the old days and now it is just a job.

There was nothing wrong with the original boiler that could not have been repaired with enough funding. The UT thickness readings are still visible and for the most part are decent considering its age. However, there were two significant problems: the firebox was fairly thin near the mud ring, and it was a lapseam boiler, which would require a comprehensive inspection every year to inspect the seams. Due to the various issues with the boiler and the fact that it would only be more and more difficult to maintain as the locomotive got older, it was decided to replace it. Being more for the proper preservation of the artifact, I would have advocated to repair and modify it to retain as much original fabric as possible, but unfortunately I wasn’t there or in any position to do so, having been 13 years old at the time.

I want to start by saying, I certainly hope this video motivates a younger, modern audience to go watch Classic TV and movies. W. N. Kelley is an example of why I wish American steam locomotives should not have their names taken away from them if they have been named. I agree, I prefer to address No. 3 by name. No actual actors are referred to by number. And I think it was time someone did make a video listing all of the movies and TV shows that featured W.N. Kelley. Some of those I've seen and I am big fans of. I can see you yourself are an enjoyer of Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. "Darling, I love you but give me Park Avenue." Kelley appeared in The A-Team two-part special "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?" working as a means of transport for a rancher who was using her to transport poached wild mustangs. The second part of that episode is actually scheduled on air on MeTV at 5PM central tonight so you uploading this couldn't have had better timing!

@evanstauffer44702 ай бұрын
I believe you mean coal, not Cole. However you are absolutely correct about oil being plentiful and good coal being scarce. Another factor in the modern age is that wood and coal fires are more likely to emit sparks and hot embers thus starting wildfires. It's for this reason the Union Pacific converted its excursion locomotives to oil burners. And, regrettably, the Durango and Silverton RR was forced to convert all of their steam locomotives from coal firing to oil firing after allegedly causing a huge wildfire a few years ago. The main downside of oil is the consequences of an oil spill. If coal is spilled on the ground it is a simple matter to shovel it up.

They were tough and strong people in both mind and body. Criminals such as horse thieves were hung from the nearest tree. Justice was a Warm Gun. Their grandfathers would tell them stories about having to defend their homesteads against Indians. Women knew how to ride and shoot and if they were alone with their children and Bandit or Indians came out of the woods they would pull the shotgun from Over the fireplace and they were ready to defend their home and their children. People were self-reliant on those days. Women could spool wool into yarn and then knit warm clothes for the winter. The phrase Homespun versus store-bought.

I'm sorry, did you say most people agree Back to the Future II is better than III? Really? Long time BTTF fan that I am, choosing which is my favorite is like choosing amongst one's children, but I've always seen Part II as the least strong. Don't get me wrong; I do think it's the film that uses time travel most cleverly by revisiting the climax of the first from a different angle (and super-evil alternate Biff being basically Donald Trump was prescient for 1989). However, the 2015 scenes' intentionally goofy future predictions feel quaint to dated with that year in the rearview mirror, it's painfully obvious the Bobs (director Zemeckis and writer Gale) couldn't figure out anything for Jennifer to do other than being almost literal dead weight, and it's the movie with the least character growth, unless you count Marty's shoehorned-in "chicken" trigger - which doesn't pay off until Part III. And it didn't have Sierra #3 - so minus a hundred points.
