- Over the weekend I got to visit St Louis and go to the transportation museum for the first time since August 2019. I also got to do some other railfanning in the St Louis area, which has a great variety of action.

Yo this is my childhood!!! (I live there) I have so many memories there! The 4460 and the big boy were my favorites!
Thank you so much for the tour. It was enjoyable to watch from start to finish. To see a GG-1, a Big Boy and a Centennial in one place is amazing. I will for sure visit this museum the next time I'm out that way.
I remember going here in 2019
Was very exciting seeing the Milwaukee Road Bi-polar and New York Central Mohawk, as well as the Camelback and Chicago Elevated engine, and EMD demonstrators. I finally got to see both New York Central Mohawks in person. Was only there very briefly though, we were driving to Branson Missouri.
I cherish the photo that my father took of me when I was 4 years old standing on the steps of a steam locomotive at this museum in 1957. My mother claimed that this was where I picked up the railroading bug. Since that time I got my locomotive engineer license and am qualified on both steam and diesel.
I love that museum
thanks for the shoutout. totally didn't forget to comment for 5 months
Yeah totally. Hope you liked 170.
I went to Saint Louis to visit family that lives there. I was at the museum and didn't see any trains
I was there last year it was fun I also saw 4014
Nice tour. Was last there a few years ago and was thinking about heading over there in a few weeks as I live relatively close by in Alton Illinois
I wish I was there.
Somewhere on vhs I have video I shot in there of them pulling that FT 103 out (it was a Southern unit then) to be restored to what it is now. That was 1988 or 89.
I actually have a model of CB&Q 9939 on my desk, I can literally see it right now

"Oh hey, 4460, thats pretty cool" _continues to stare at UP unit train_
You have just declared war on the entire Southern Pacific community.
Sorry, it’s just that I saw 4460 back when I visited in 2019 so since I’d seen it before I figured I wouldn’t have had to spend as much time on it the second time around.
It's great to see all that historic equipment sitting around outside turning into rust.
Maybe it's cause the engines in my country aren't this huge but is it normal for such historic equipment to just stand out in the open exposed to the elements? Do they stand there all the time or do they get moved into engine sheds?
Depends on the museum. Some have sheds, some don’t, but most of the engines at this museum were covered under a roof which I’d say is common.
Nice
WHERE IS THIS AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
The museum’s in Kirkwood Missouri, on the outskirts of St Louis. I didn’t know from memory the admission cost but according to the museum website it’s $15 for adults.
0:48 I see 1522 hiding over there
That's not 1522, it's 1621.
Fun fact I seen 4006
1:39 don’t forget New York central 3001
I’d love to see it too but I won’t be able to go to Indiana anytime soon so shucks.

Unfortunately I grew up in st.louis, wasn't born there,but grew up there, been to that museum on a number of occasions, for me it's pathetic!!!! and pales in significance to other transportation museum of this nature!!!! the whole time I lived there they didn't have one single locomotive that was in operable condition,on top of that,for years the locomotives sat unprotected from the elements,and they have some really beautiful steam locomotives there!!!! I can recall many times I went there to look at the locomotives and would see the years and years of rust and corrosion all over them,none of them were housed inside from the elements. rain and snow and hale you name it had really taken its toll on a lot of them,I remember walking to the Big Boy that they have there and looking through the rusted holes and asbestos on it,it got so bad until they finally decided to a port over it.and every time I went there,it was the same old same old, nothing new!!stopped going, and I love steam locomotives,but long before I moved away,I just simply stop going.....
