I drive along the Eureka Palisade line almost every day and wondered what the narrow gauge locomotive looked like. I'm glad someone saved that piece of Nevada history.
I really want to get back out there!!!!!! When I was there in the 90s a found hundreds of original telegraph poles along the old grade. Square timber cut! Didn’t take any photos like a fool! So we need to come back and see what’s still about!
I've watched this video 6 times due in part to the wonderful background fiddle music that makes me cry! I really love the old time trains, with my California favorite being the Roaring Camp Railroad in Felton. I sincerely would like to take you Karyn & the Rat Fink out to dinner whenever you are near the Disneyland area. Thanks for this very special video! Your relaxing voice & commentary set me at ease after a long day! Keep up the good work of screwing around! :) Kerri the Merri
What a treasure trove of footage to be able to sit on the sofa and enjoy. I often come close to that Bachmann 1:20.3 and "almost" buy it on that famous auction site. I would settle for the plastic as the left hand is worse off then the right and unable to modify. But, reality sets in and my lovely Bride's voice rings in my brain, and once again I am without one. What fabulous footage and what fun this must of been. Great, as always. Greg and Jeanne.
Hello!! Hope you get one. Dang they are cool. I "need" 3 more. The new 2-6-0s are amazing. I want the Eureka and Palisades Reville, the Glenbrook, and Ward Kimball Emma Nevada locomotive. That will do for now. I guess.
Wow, I was almost salivating seeing that grand and glorious 4-4-0 American running on the tracks in that beautiful natural scenery. I don't have enough of the right superlatives to fully express my joy right now at seeing the old steamer. I'm a model railroader and not much of a trainchaser, so seeing this was a great way to spend a few minutes. THIS is what I truly enjoy about RUclips- seeing historical subjects. Thank you so very much for posting this treasure!
snowy day here in northern CA, no Mustang driving for me today. it's toy man television watching for this guy! love the trains and of course the MUSTANGS.

Is Eureka sill in operation? I want to ride behind her, but I just don't when that might happen. I really want to experience a wood-burning locomotive.
Yup!!! And the combine car is finished. Eureka has not been out of Nevada in about 5 years. But heading to CATS in colorado in August if all goes well with the Mexican Beer virus. The Glenbrook will be there as well from Carson City.
Here is the ironic part, the videos that you shot out in Colorado and New Mexico I remember watching so religiously I wore out my VHS. The videos you shot had mezmorized and I couldn't get my face off the screen. So thanks to you kind sir, you had me hooked on narrow gauge since I was 5. Today I'm proud to say I got to ride on the D&SRR and I still sit and dream here in my home in eastern MO wondering when I'll get to go again. Also coming from a guy who loves to play blue grass fiddle thank as always for incorperating fiddle tunes into you videos, for now cheers to you both and keep the sweet train videos coming. Andy
Thanks!!!! Have loved making videos for ever. RUclips is the new VHS I guess!! So here we are again. Or still. Some more..... Glad you like them. Love hearing stories of people remembering the "old shows".
Watching these old videos is like seeing an old friend again and realizing why we became friends you know? Anyway look forward to many more great railroad videos take care!!!!
I found your channel from one of the Big Boy videos you made. I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your videography, narration, and editing. You produce some of the highest quality videos on youtube. Even things I don't think I'll have much interest in you make fascinating. Thanks and keep them coming!
Hey Toyman! I just saw this locomotive at the very beginning & intermittently in Episode 5 of Ken Burns "The West!" Magnificent! So glad you gave us the background story of the filming!
Have been out of the loop, so I'm glad to finally see this wonderful footage you shot. Very well done. Now if I can catch up on the rest of your posts.
great video thank you very much you have some great adventures do you have any video of o Winston Link my wife bought me the photograph of the steam engine and jet plane at the drive-in theater very cool picture
O. Winston Link is a railroad photographer from the 19 forties fifties and sixties if you saw the movie October Sky I believe he was the engineer in the old steam train
Just for the record that is not a Civil War era caboose. The D&RGW's short cabooses were all built between 1904 and 1918; then again, the Eureka isn't civil war era either.
True, just post war, The bobber cabooses were built at about the same time, many later were re trucked into short cabooses as was 0500. Two or three now restored back to bobber. the bobbers were just a bit shorter, and all were somewhat different from each other. 0500 was built in 1886. So as close as we could get for the filming Bobber would had been better.
+ToyManTelevision *4-4-0 Baldwin Class 8/18C, 3'-0" Gage, #3763, left Philadelphia only a month behind Virginia & Truckee River #22,* 4-4-0 Baldwin Class 8/22C, 4'-8.5" Gage, #3693, and was finished consistently with the V&TRR's 2-6-0 Baldwin 8/22D ore-pullers. The Westinghouse air pump was often retrofitted just ahead of the engineer's side of the cab by the roads that already owned these locomotives, and #3763 is no exception.
Dan's original goal was to return the locomotive to as delivered by Baldwin. However, as he wanted to run the locomotive, it was pointed out that removing the Westinghouse breaks and the injectors as well as going back to link and pin would ban him from most if not all railroads and make the locomotive very unsafe.
OK I like watching your videos,I'm also a die-hard steam locomotive person,l love those things!! i'm a model railroader as well. my favorite type steam locomotive is the American 4-4-0. favorite railroad,the "VIRGINIA & TRUCKEE". I have met Mr.Markoff and was invited aboard the EUREKA..#4 what wonderful machine!! but,...that is NOT a(civil war) era locomotive.that loco was built in (1875),the civil war ended before that decade rolled around...
This is what dreams are made of. Lots of memories of what never happened. I missed out riding in the cab of a C.M. St..P & .P steam switch engine in the early 50's. I never forgot it. Love the old equipment - they're Alive!
I’ve never asked but I am certain that it will be going to the Nevada state railroad museum in Carson City. They helped improve store they help keep it running and we have a magnificent collection. So that would be my guess

Long story, but he got it for less than free. When he bought it they thought he wanted the gas powered amusement park ride, He never said what he paid. But they were not supposed to sell the ride, as it had a loan on it. So they had to buy it back. In the end he got the loco for free. Now what he spent fixing it.......
On the main lines I doesn’t look good. UP is totally in but Amtrak is out as of now. Perhaps if they get a new head of Amtrak but for now most locomotives are stuck on the short lines.
I love y'alls music choice where can I find some of the music you'll use for some of your videos especially this one I just I just love like the violin music and whatnot it's just simply fantastic
Will is this sort of complicated.. I buy the tracks from a company called smart sound and they sell it to me recorded measure by measure instrument by instrument. That allows me to re-configure it anyway I want for the show. Mostly it’s generic music but a lot of it is based on other music that they have mimicked in record in the tracks. A lot of what you’re hearing it is based on the work of Aaron Copeland. While being completely different. And then as I say reconfigured and remixed
I don't know why but American 4-4-0s always seem gaudy to me. Beautiful but gaudy. Like they're painted by people with no taste. And then later locomotives are all 1 color, usually black. It's like the US never figured out how to paint steam locomotives nicely. Then you look at British trains and they're in very recognisable liveries, usually 2 or 3 colors and consistent among all the engines (sometimes with two styles for goods and passenger locos) and it just seems nicer.
I do love it though. Gaudy yet I get it. In it's day, everything was over blown. I agree the British paint is amazing. THe deep wine and green, with just the right off sets, a bit of gold, cream, black. Neve understood the bright red but I assume that was for safety.
Gaudy yet magnificent. In the early 80s I was going to join a ship in East Germany via Berlin railway station where, amongst the run of the mill diesels was a large steam locomotive on some special duty bound for Moscow with the crossed flags, etc on the front - a breathtaking sight. It only seem gaudy to us now - it was black and white back in the day! ;-)
YES!! It's fine. Problem is FRA permits. Boiler inspections. Dan has been running at the Museum in Henderson, on the sly, as it's still a real railroad and under FRA rules. But he drives it in his driveway when the mood hits. Once the car is ready he will pass the hat and get back out to Chama or Durango. About 15K to move it. Nice when a film producer is willing to pay. In this case they only covered 50% and the rest of us kicked in. I sold footage to a bank for a TV spot, and they MORE than covered the remanding 50% And may need to re tube the boiler, even though it's FINE!! But rules say the boiler can't just be inspected, must be re tubed at times. Pointless BS.
A Texas rancher went to Maine and came across an old farmer. They talked a bit and the rancher, being a Texan, had to brag just a bit; "Ya know, it takes me a full day to drive from one end of my ranch to the other. The Maine farmer kicked at a rock and said, "Yep, had me an old truck like that too." Hey, you started it. :>)
A great carpenter in Maine builds a new outhouse for an elderly lady. Looks great, but when he asks to be paid she says "I ain't payen". He asks why. "I ain't sayen". So he looks the work over, seems fine. SO he sticks his head through the hole to see the underside of the seat. All good. But when he pulls his head back out a beard hair sticks in a small crack in the edge. "Eurts duddent it" she says.
Episode 5. The grandest Enterprise under the sun. About building the transcontinental railroad. Shooting at promontory is so difficult it’s really out of the question. The regulations for shooting in a national park or national monument are just crazy. Easier to shoot it Durango. Ken really didn’t have much to do with the project it was mostly Steve directing.

Toy Man Television YeeeeHaaa Toyman! I love all of Ken Burns films, especially The West! America in the 1800's - wagon trains, pioneer men & women are my favorite!! I have the diaries of the women on those wagon trains...unbelievable hardship & courage! My brother Mike has a 10 acre horse ranch in Williamstown NJ. When I visit. we go on a 8 mile trail ride at Valley Forge with 25 Williamstown riders. I am dressed in my 1880's riding outfit with split skirt, vest & hat. Just call me Kerri "Annie Oakley" Dillon! I remain firm on my offer to buy you & Karyn dinner when next you are in California. Email me: KerriTheRealtor@gmail.com Thanks for the wonderful videos! Hello to the Rat Fink too!
Yup! But dan only runs it at Christmas in bolder on a short track. And he’s building a car there. We have shows on that. ruclips.net/video/HaNdekD-N9Q/видео.html
Those guys are GREAT. Their first film, Coney Island is amazing if you ever get a chance to see it. Two versions, one is like 58 minutes, for PBS. The first cut is almost 2 hours. Grandpa Munster is featured.
Well I'd certainly like to see a video of that! I've always had a high interest for trains in general, but more than anything old american steam engines. Being from Georgia, it's sorta natural that my favorite locomotive of all time is shared by two engines: General & Texas. Ever done a show on those two? The Texas is finishing its cosmetic restoration in North Carolina April 28th!
Lord, those typos. I hate typing on a phone...anyway, you're very welcome. You ought to come screw around in Georgia, some time. There are some really cool railroads and historic sites.
Same thing we do now. Screw around. But the pay checks were for making motion picture sound tracks. (screwing around) teaching at film schools, (teaching screwing around) Producing films and video, (screwing around) acting (really screwing around) and real estate rentals. (not screwing around).
That was a incredible flashback story of Dans Steam Locomotive, Eureka & Palisade #4 “Eureka”.
That was an amazing trip. Great show! Ken Burns people know their stuff.
I drive along the Eureka Palisade line almost every day and wondered what the narrow gauge locomotive looked like. I'm glad someone saved that piece of Nevada history.

Love this video.

I would love to see more of your past video that you have because I really appreciate your form of screwing around.
More coming. Now that I have the old recorders working well. And able to clean up the video a bit.

Thanks! What a trip this was. And 4 should be back on the Colorado lines soon. We all hope.
Hi coasterfan2105 I like your videos especially the one on how to identify freight locomotives
Thank you. Looking at some of your vids. True jewel.
The old 8-wheelers were glorious machines.
My fave. Just a quick count, um, lets see. 1 in N, 8 in HO, 2 in On3, 4 in O standard and 2 in F scale. guess I need an Sn3.
You told me at the recent Hostlers train show that this episode would be really cool, and you delivered on you're promise. This was amazing.
Looking forward to Dan heading back to Durango or Chama with #4 AND the passenger car, (and the little flat car Dan built). SOON!!!!!!

THe #4 is so amazing too. And in a back yard!!! Wow...
I am only 11 but I love my train shows that are VHS. Too bad they got wiped out. Well progress I guess.
You can transfer them to dvd. Depends on how you do it it’s sort of expensive. And DVD is sort of a dead format too but it transfers to digital easily
Does Dan have anything in place to keep the engine in anything he's built to go along with it running after he's gone?
I’ve never asked but I am certain that it will be going to the Nevada state railroad museum in Carson City. They helped improve store they help keep it running and we have a magnificent collection. So that would be my guess
I really enjoy your videos...

Long story, but he got it for less than free. When he bought it they thought he wanted the gas powered amusement park ride, He never said what he paid. But they were not supposed to sell the ride, as it had a loan on it. So they had to buy it back. In the end he got the loco for free. Now what he spent fixing it.......
2:57 when the magic happens.
One of the top ten Toy Mans!!!! Loved it, but I m sure you knew I would!!!
What an engine!!! What a trip!!! Need to find the rest of the video. This was half...
The Eureka was built in 1875, ten years after the Civil War.
Yup. But we were using it in a show from that era. Works. Ken Burns loves that era and history
Fantastic video!
Thanks !! So much FUN making it too. Soon, off to California to film a bunch of railroads
What will future be like for Steam Engines?It makes me worried
On the main lines I doesn’t look good. UP is totally in but Amtrak is out as of now. Perhaps if they get a new head of Amtrak but for now most locomotives are stuck on the short lines.
Handsome little engine, one day I hope to see it person and say thanks to Dan for restoring 'er.

Hope that works out. GOOD LUCK.

will the Eureka run again when her restoration is done? because if she isn't going to then Dans passenger car is pointless
YES!! It's fine. Problem is FRA permits. Boiler inspections. Dan has been running at the Museum in Henderson, on the sly, as it's still a real railroad and under FRA rules. But he drives it in his driveway when the mood hits. Once the car is ready he will pass the hat and get back out to Chama or Durango. About 15K to move it.

But rules say the boiler can't just be inspected, must be re tubed at times. Pointless BS.
the wood work so much by craftsmen that built some fabulous.
Id feed this train firewood all day just to watch it run.
Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing this great footage.
This was from half the footage. Still looking for the other half!!

She is a beauty the did a magnificent job restoring it
Big event July forth in Carson City with this and 10 other locomotives
What episode of this show "The West" was Eureka in?
Episode 5. The grandest Enterprise under the sun. About building the transcontinental railroad. Shooting at promontory is so difficult it’s really out of the question. The regulations for shooting in a national park or national monument are just crazy. Easier to shoot it Durango. Ken really didn’t have much to do with the project it was mostly Steve directing.
Stop with the cars and stay with the railroads!!!
We love trains.. Many more coming!!
Thats sad that Eureaka #4 isnt running but atleast she gets to live with him at his backyard! XD
And it gets to run in Henderson, just not a a railroad just now.

Thanks for the wonderful videos! Hello to the Rat Fink too!
I rode the Durango to Silverton about 45 years ago, i so enjoyed the trip. Is it even still running?
Yup! But dan only runs it at Christmas in bolder on a short track. And he’s building a car there. We have shows on that. ruclips.net/video/HaNdekD-N9Q/видео.html

7:05-7:43 Really looks like the Civil war. All you need are Civil War reenactors!!!
Those guys are GREAT. Their first film, Coney Island is amazing if you ever get a chance to see it. Two versions, one is like 58 minutes, for PBS. The first cut is almost 2 hours. Grandpa Munster is featured.
Oh, Ok! Great to know!!! Thanks!!!
Love the Eureka... I think the best part about her is the brass lining! Great video!
I'm rebuilding a Bachmann to make it right, real wood and brass, AND a brass model of it. Will be a show or two I assume.
Well I'd certainly like to see a video of that! I've always had a high interest for trains in general, but more than anything old american steam engines. Being from Georgia, it's sorta natural that my favorite locomotive of all time is shared by two engines: General & Texas. Ever done a show on those two? The Texas is finishing its cosmetic restoration in North Carolina April 28th!
heel mooi, Thanks for watchimg
Thanks you for watching.
I absolutely love listening to your stories and narration in your videos.
I tend to yak a bit... Ask my old students.
Toy Man Television As am I, my friend. I enjoy the stories, though. It hads so much to the videos.
Thanks!!!!
Lord, those typos. I hate typing on a phone...anyway, you're very welcome. You ought to come screw around in Georgia, some time. There are some really cool railroads and historic sites.
AND a GOOD friend just moved there. Hum........
I swear this is the best TV show
We love it too. But we have a bias.
Toy Man what did you use to do or do for a living?
Same thing we do now. Screw around. But the pay checks were for making motion picture sound tracks. (screwing around) teaching at film schools, (teaching screwing around) Producing films and video, (screwing around) acting (really screwing around) and real estate rentals. (not screwing around).
Ohh ok that's really cool lol
