Out in Pennsylvania's Amish Country, is the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, which preserves Pennsylvania's railroad history from the 19th Century to Present Day and also has the world's largest collection of Pennsylvania Railroad equipment.
In this video, we'll take a tour of this museum as it was on October 19th and 20th of 2019 with narration from yours truly.
For the price of admission, you can see all of this and more at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania! Also featured is royalty-free music. This was another video I was referring to in my previous Post National Train Day Update video.
Please be aware that if you visit the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania yourself, they may change some of their exhibits from time to time and you might not be able to see everything you see here in this video.

I will be visiting this place during a you tube meet and greet May 20-22. You really do a great job on this video showing the loco's and a brief history of each. I really look forward to seeing this place in person.

Would love to see them all come back to life.... shame nobody's got a GG1 back up and running yet

@TomedysTrains 3 жыл бұрын

Me too! I believe the reason why none of the GG1s are operational at this time is because their transformer cooling fluid is deemed illegal these days. So in theory, they could run again, but their parts on the inside would have to be replaced with more modern parts, which might change the character of the motor sounds of it.

@@davidbliss3220 It was such a great opportunity to see two Norfolk & Western steam locomotives running at once for sure! The 382 you say? I think you mean the 475, it was numbered as 475 that day. I saw that locomotive on October 20, 2019 as well and it was numbered 475.

At 2:30 I could understand why the PRR 7002 might have achieved a world speed record. I work on that same stretch of railroad. Between Crestline and Colsan (Bucyrus, Ohio) it is very straight and flat.

That electric loco was made for the Black Mesa & Lake Powell. Was tried on the NE corridor on passenger service but had a rough ride at high speeds

@TomedysTrains 3 жыл бұрын

I'm sure you're referring to the Amtrak GE E60 #603, which is seen in this video. That locomotive was built for Amtrak in 1976 and served only that railroad until it was retired in 2003. The Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad had a variant class of the E60 electric locomotives, but not the same sub class of locomotive #603 is.

I heard some rumors of them trying to build a roundhouse, is there any update on that

Here's the article I read about the roundhouse. It's from January of 2019. trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/01/23-railroad-museum-of-pennsylvania-completes-fundraising-for-five-restorations I'm not sure if there's much physical work going on behind the scenes at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania at this time due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but the museum is currently closed (because of the pandemic).

I agree. Fortunately, I remember reading that at the beginning of the year the museum was granted money to build a roundhouse in order to have the outdoor collection placed indoors.

I heard that there is going to be a locomotive that will beet LNER 4468 Mallards record. It's PRR T1 5550. The locomotive that is under Construction. It's being built by the T1 trust.

@TomedysTrains 4 жыл бұрын

It's sad that not one of the original T1s were preserved because that would've been an awesome display locomotive at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania or an awesome mainline excursion steam locomotive. Nice that a new T1 is being built, I definitely heard about it, but I doubt that any railroad would allow them to beat Mallard's record on any route because it's probably too much of a liability to today's standards to do such a thing like that.

The T1’s record was un-official & mallard was still the fastest

Living Legend Productions yeah. But they were still faster. And even faster then the Mallard and the other A4s.

@TomedysTrains 4 жыл бұрын

@@nathancorcoran5347 Unless there's hard evidence and not just anecdotes out there, the record for fastest steam locomotive in the world goes to the Mallard, and not the T1s. No such thing as an "un-official record."

@nathancorcoran5347 4 жыл бұрын

TomedysTrains I don’t know if the 5550 will be able to go fast as Mallard because you said that the actual T1 isn’t faster than Mallard. And I don’t know if the S1 is faster then Mallard despite the wheel slips that it had.

That's not the same "Brick" as the Pennsylvania Railroad E44 electric locomotives which have that nickname. What you're referring to is Norfolk Southern's geometry train which is nicknamed the Brick, totally different unit/train altogether.
