makes me think back to the old days, going with my grandfather down to the train tracks to watch the trains go by and enjoy some soft ice cream. i balked at this activity at the time, but now i think i would probably enjoy it.
I enjoy the old rail cars as it was before my time and I missed it. Very impressed with the caboose with the bay window!! Never saw such a thing!! Thanks for sharing!! 💖💙💖💙💖💙
I was a conductor on a local freight out of Readville, Massachusetts and was assigned a similar caboose. Over time I was able to outfit the "hack" with materials relocated from pool cabs. Plugged draft sources to warm her up. Talked superintendent into a stove without sending hack to a shop. Toi toi worked as did water to sink. Power to desk ok used kero lamps (Adlake) for markers. Had homes along the line where kids and moms would wave. Fitting in between passenger service nearly had our own place in the timetable. Removal of cabs poured money into my pockets via arbitrary payments my job alone paid a minimum of 6 hours a day for "piping" (reverse) movements three times at two hours a wack. Company never batted an eyelash.
That blue truck with the single headlight is a forklift truck the mast slides out from the center of the truck lifts the load and retracts in rests the load on the flat deck and moves on usually for steel ,pipes etc good video JP keep safe while out exploring from Australia.
A lot of fun seeing the museum in the daytime after seeing it at night with you and RJ in his first livestream video . I love the passenger cars but my favorite car is the old blue "bay window " caboose . Wow ..the electric Locomotive sure looked streamlined . Looks like one Superman would "try" to outrun . Thank you for another fun and informative tour . ( It will be great to go back later and see inside . )
The railroad wheels are manufactured in Burnham, PA just outside of Lewistown, PA at the Burnham Foundry off of route 322, or route 522 from Selingsgrove to Lewistown.
Amazing place, it shines like a new penny, so neat, and clean. Love the walking platform, you can see a lot from just that. Never expected benches for setting, some areas look almost like a park. The blue caboose is awesome, with the bay window, they do need to give it a paint job though before it rusts away. Thanks enjoyed this, and wouldn't mind seeing the inside when you can. Great video JP.
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it very much! You're right in that if you are in to railroading and history of the PRR in particular, Altoona is a great place to visit.
I enjoyed watching this video very much!!! I love the blue bay window caboose!!! You and I are alike in that something blue always catches our eyes 👀!!! Awesome pictures Jay!!! You take care, stay safe on all of your adventures and God bless you!!!
Thanks for a great video and definitely memories. Retired in 2014 after 41 hard working years as a freight conductor. Started in January of 1973 with Penn Central. The funny thing is I might have worked with some of that equipment years ago.....lol. Would you know how long of a trip that would be from the western Philly suburbs to get there? It would be cool to see some of that stuff. The farthest west I used to work was Enola Yard via the lowgrade and the Port Deposit Branch. But, also worked as far south as Potomac Yard and north to NYC via the Northeast Corridor. Keep up the great work with your videos!!! Where can you pick up some PRR, Penn Central, and Conrail shirts and other memorabilia?
Jay, it was quite common (probably still is) for railroads to rebuild passenger equipment for MOW---Maintenance Of Way---use. Elegant old coaches were rebuilt into bunk cars and the interiors of dining cars were rebuilt to quickly feed wreck crews. That baggage car coupled to the wrecker was called a "boom car" to take up the space under the boom, which was always chained or cabled in place so it wouldn't swing and oscillate from the rhythm of the wheels on the rail joints and unevenness of the tracks. Boom cars usually had covered bins on both sides of the open ends to hold the tackle for moving cars and locomotives, while the closed end held tools and things. BTW, it often took a pair of wrecking cranes to pull a modern steam loco out of a ditch, get it upright, and place it back on the rails. Those crewmen were really skilled in cleaning up a wreck sight and it was fascinating to watch them at work. The tank car held water for drinking, cooking (making coffee!), and washing up. Often, a retired steam locomotive tender (called a "tank" by railroaders) was used for that purpose and I've seen photos of a Southern Pacific Vanderbilt tender, with a cylindrical water tank instead of a rectangular one, with fuel oil carried in the oil bunker that used to carry Bunker C crude oil to fuel the engine. Any railroad fan with access to a railroad museum will find it a fascinating and informative place to visit. I'm now going back to view the rest of this video. Thanks for taking us along on this visit! Stay safe, everybody.
Yes the blue car. Mingo County in West Virginia has a railroad car yard with lot of cars with lots of the old caboose. Personally I would love to have one of the old cabooses. Would love to visit one day. Great video.
Watched this now for the 2nd time, and enjoyed everything you captured SO VERY MUCH!! The stills are STELLAR!! Thank you for taking us along!! Truely Appreciatrd! 🚄 🚅 🚃
Fantastic tour! And it was neat seeing it during the daytime after watching RJ's nighttime live stream with you. Altoona (and other stuff in that part of the state) was going to be my big trip this year, but I haven't traveled due to you-know-what. I'll try again next year or 2022 whenever everything reopens. My parents took me to Horseshoe Curve when I was a young kid, but my memories are vague. I remember the curve itself and watching trains there, but I don't remember the town or museum (even though we probably went there). There's more to see outside than I realized, so perhaps it could have been worth going this year. That GG1 brings back a flood of awesome memories! We used to watch trains all the time at Princeton Junction and they'd come through pulling both freight and passenger trains. The electric motors made a deep, almost other-worldly, sound very different to anything I've ever heard in my life. You really got to hear it good when the started going after picking up passengers. It saddens me I'll never see one run again, but I have literally seen them hundreds of times when I was a kid so I'm grateful to have had that chance.
@@rj78productions88 my gosh, YES! I wish every rail fan would have been able to see them run. They're truly unique, and there will never be anything else like them.
Neat place, I was there way back in 2004 if I recall correctly. There are some nice historical displays inside as well when the museum hopefully re-opens. The GG1 is a nice highlight among the outdoor displays!
Fantastic work with the photos!!! I really love that b/w to color transition...That b/w shot was great..made me think of watching my first b/w tv as a kid....
Wow really enjoyed that. Can’t go wrong with trains in my book. They were fantastic. If I was there would def. visit. I do hope you go back and see right thru. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please take care
Thanks so much Jay for making these wonderful videos, I’m living vicariously through this since I am not really able to travel much myself until times get better.
Your tour was amazing!! Would love to see this & Horseshoe Curve. 4913 very cool!! Loved that bay window caboose. Hope is open in the future for your return. Incredible shots today Jay!! Thanks so much. 🥰💙
I love seeing the old railroad cars! If I lived closer to PA, I'd come to visit the place. Unfortunately, we live in MN so this is out of the question.
Very awesome place you went there my friend. Thats a very awesome museum of trains. That view from the bridge was the money shot. They really did have a lot to see there too. The whole place is one awesome place. I can see why you went there. I would go to if it was closer to me my friend. I bet to see that up in person was an awesome experience in itself. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Great tour despite the limited access. Would love to visit one day, but a long ride from South Carolina. Really love the signal bridges they have. I love signals and actually own a few. You actually walked past a giant pile of signal parts early in the video behind the roundhouse. Great work as always!
I'm likeing the footbridge looking down on the passing train. My favorites are the caboose , I really like the old clock by the red caboose. And and and...😄..the electric locomotive way cool. All the snapshots were sweet! The roundhouse is awesome. If I lived close by for sure I would go enjoy it for myself along with the horseshoe curve place. The whole thing is just cool.👍
Lots of exciting stuff to see like the old crane and GG1. I also like the picture of the blue caboose with that old bench in front, bouth in same condition, just like an abanded train stadion, but I hope they make the caboose redy to run on the tracks again. I think I see a sadeltank engine at the end of the passenger cars at the end of the video. 👍
Good morning JP wow now they were some incredibly amazing pieces of old railway history,.loved the shots of thee old locomotives and the sign, I think that other machine was a cherry picker? I'm not sure, interesting about the test weight car scale to me been me had to pause and read, definitely enjoyed this mate and Definitely worth the visit you did an amazing job with the tour and showing us everything you could, hope your trips going amazing, loved the murals at the end to,
@@JPVideos81 +Hi mate oh wow thats pretty awesome definitely a tool they would need, I recently rediscovered some old locomotives from my city I think you'd like but they are outta town ill take a clip when I see them again for yah 🙂
I would L❤VE to visit!!! 😍🚂 I could plan a road trip to see my oldest, and we could take a tour of this. He's as interested in trains as I am, given his grandfather was a Locomotive Engineer. Altoona is very close to him. Planning for Spring ~ Post- Covid 👍😊🚂😁 Thank you for sharing, and planting that seed in my head! ❤👍🌷
Thanks for sharing this video Jp. Love train and the railroad stuff that make thing work like that.. :D wow what a view with the pathform over the tracks
Great video also liked the one you did of the special shots of the back side of the horseshoe curve. But one place you should go video is on the far side up in the hill by where the old station used to be their was a water tower. Almost right beside the signal bridge
Excellent video! The museum will reopen on March 19th, 2021. Also, there will be a restoration update on the Pennsylvania Railroad K4s 1361 soon. I love and support the Railroaders Memorial Museum.
Thanks, I thought it might be either that or an L-1 (they were practically twins: same boiler with different steam dome and sandbox locations). Really cool. As a model railroader, I always got a big kick out of the Pennsy fanatics. They'd correct other people's mistakes and argue about the tiniest details ('course, I dislike seeing some of the bunk that's spread around, too). I do know the Pennsy often swapped tenders for various reasons and most big roads had complicated classification systems for the tenders as well as engine. Stay safe.
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 Interesting to know the Pennsy wasn't the only "Standard Railroad..." (I always asked, "If they were so _standardized,_ why didn't the Pennsy's steam loco numbering system make sense?" It drives the diehard modelers nuts!) Stay safe.
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 Lionel Lines? The Pennsylvania called itself "The Standard Railroad of the World" because their cars and locomotives were built with many common features so they could share parts (some of which, like some electric locomotives, were disasters). Where most of the Class 1 roads divided their steam locos into classes and numbered them sensibly, the Pennsylvania often scattered the road numbers of new builds of the _same class_ all over the place! I've seen some photo stories of some great model railroads that followed the Pennsy beautifully. I always freelanced, making up my own railroad name and building models to credible practices, and later "Prototype Freelancing": following a real railroad but building things to my own tastes. Any way you want to do it, "Model Railroading is Fun!" Happy Thanksgiving.

I LOVE THE BLUE CABUSE, I WOULD REFIRBISH IT, ITS TO PRECIOUS TO ROT AWAY. SO MANY TRACKS AND CARS. REALLY INTERESTING. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD FIND.
Adding another great JPVideo to my channel playlist!!
That blue truck with the single headlight is a forklift truck the mast slides out from the center of the truck lifts the load and retracts in rests the load on the flat deck and moves on usually for steel ,pipes etc good video JP keep safe while out exploring from Australia.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of fun seeing the museum in the daytime after seeing it at night with you and RJ in his first livestream video .

Glad you were able to experience a before and after on our channels
love the overhead view of the train
OMG...Im drooling! So cool...man this is definitely a must see when I visit your great state! Loved this video!
I need to come back when they open to see the rest.
The railroad wheels are manufactured in Burnham, PA just outside of Lewistown, PA at the Burnham Foundry off of route 322, or route 522 from Selingsgrove to Lewistown.

Yes, I would highly recommend going there. I was there 3 years ago, loved it!!!!!!
Definitely worthy of a couple visits
Amazing place, it shines like a new penny, so neat, and clean. Love the walking platform, you can see a lot from just that. Never expected benches for setting, some areas look almost like a park.

Great video! I love seeing railroad history preserved, that's a really cool place! Thanks for sharing !
Trying to do my part by sharing it.
Definitely someplace I would want to go.
Shots of the GG1 were awesome. I gather the museum didn't open this season due to the situation in 2020. Thank you for your time.
Another first for this trip, seeing all of this in person before you posted this. 😁
I can't thank you enough for this amazing experience Jay.
So much fun RJ this was GREAT !

That place is a lot of metal work. Nice place
Very nice.. I love the view from the bridge
