- Hop aboard for a short ride on the Ghost Town and Calico Railroad at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA! Rio Grande Southern Locomotive number 41 pulls a matched set of 4 pullman green coaches around the loop of track.
Bonus: See if you can find the typo!

I've been to Knott's Berry Farm a hundred times. Used to live in OC for over 40 years. I've always loved Knott's for the train, Calico Mine Ride and the Stage Coach. All three attractions are my must do rides when I visit.
This video is just wonderful. Knott's somehow still manages to make me feel like it's 1880 all over again.
when you look at the grade this engine used to pull from Dolores over Lizardhead down to Telluride over Dallas Divide to Ridgeway, she sure gets a nice leisurely stroll now days.
Best coverage of RGS 41 on RUclips!
Like many others.
I think KBF has my favorite park train because it's an actual proper steam consist with detailed and accurate paint, cars, and operation as opposed to those brightly colored circus trains you'll find at Disney. (Don't get me wrong though, I love Disney's too)
Only sad part is that their track dosent allow their enige to really show off her muscle I always loved dollywood big strong mikados that climb a tough 5% grade but I do agree knotts have the best coaches
Between Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland just a few minutes a way, there is quite a lot of steam railroading to be had in that part of SoCal.
I grew up in California in the 70's. Love this place.. great memories!
not to mention its pretty much the only place in SoCal with full size steam running on a regular basis
I've been to Disneylad several times but I never did get to Knott's Berry Farm. Seems like I missed something special! Thanks for taking me there with this video. I love steam trains!!
And thank you for watching the video! I always look forward to your comments. Steam is still king!

i’ve been to knott’s berry farm a couple times, i’ve always loved the trains there bc of *you*
Been to both Knotts Berry Farm and Disneyland.
Knotts is a more authentic historical presentation than Disneyland but I enjoyed riding both!
C-19 Rio Grande southern number 41 Was built by the Baldwin locomotive works in 1891 in Colorado and New Mexico
I hope one day to see the Ghost Town & Calico Railroad soon. This is another beautiful theme park railroad.
This place actually has a real train!
I Agree with the RUclips Likes, We Still Want To Keep on Watching Steam Train RUclips Videos on RUclips of Yours Forevermore.
0:36 315 Has such a lovely whistle!
Rio Grande Southern 2-8-0 Consolidation 41 🚂
Beautiful locomotive and nice video!

I've been on that train with my classmates and teachers during the field trip in middle school
Thanks for sharing the video. Looks a fantastic place to spend some time.
I've gotten to see and ride behind this locomotive many times as a child. And I last rode behind it and saw it in early September 2015. I heard she was recently pulled from service and is now undergoing an overhaul and am sad but glad I got to see it when it was still operational
Hey, at least we got 340, she just recently got up and running again in a shiny new green paint scheme and she sure does still operate strong winning her fans;) I'm sure 41 should be back by hopefully sometime this year or next year depending on the current situation with Covid19 and the protests, you never know, she may do a doubleheader with 340 if you're lucky;)
@@shanewalters2565 knotts berry farm doesn't do double headers that often but it'll depend on how much work has been done
@@atsfevan0242 actually they do more doubleheader’s than you’d think.
LONG LIVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES And CoasterFan2105!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
Great job with the video! I heard about this railroad in the Trains Magazine. It's pretty interesting.

I love it mike 😃
Excellent video, really enjoyed watching it.
That whistle sounds like it needs some cleaning though but this was an awesome train
It may sound hoarse because the crews aren’t permitted to blow it full blast in the park. What you hear is always a quill on the whistle cord.
Great video Mike. I see myself in a few scenes. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, will do. I'll have to make another visit when 340 and the goose are running again.
Down at the Colorado Railroad Museum is her sister 40 who now just quietly sits and remembers the days when she ran as steam engine 491 or 346 chuff bye
Colorado Railroad Boy That is a different number 40. Rio Grande Southern C-19 #40 was wrecked in the 1940's (I think) and was scrapped as a result of the irreparable damage sustained in the wreck.
Denver & Rio Grande Western No. 340 has broken caboose working maintenance box, car gondola
hey mike, i saw 41 at the train shed when i was riding 340
the best spot to film is from the supreme scream line as that is where the engineers actually clear a grade crossing
My favorite part is at 2:58
I like trains more than coasters.
Super cool!
+Toy Man Television Love the place too. Weird piece of Americana
Do you know that Ed "Big Daddy" Ed Roth, (Rat Fink) was a sign painter at Knotts for a while? (I have 2 and soon to be 3 shows on him on my channel) Anyway, Ed was there, at a bad time in his life, when he was at the top of his fame, but needed money. Long story. But Knotts has taken all the signs he painted there an put them in a "gallery" in the back area. Anyway, great video!
Wow, I never knew that! I'll have to check those out, thank you!
+CoasterFan2105 kp
I've been in the gallery. Ed said he put the money "up his nose". Then he joined the Mormon church and moved to Manti. Thats when we met him. My wife is from there and went to school with Ilean Roth. Anyway, great guy and fun show every first weekend in June. Coming right up!! Ratfink.com
It seems 41's been used more often than 340 lately.
Alex Paumen yeah even though I live in ny. I've heard that 340 is having alot of mechanical issues and other stuff.
I read somewhere that 340 was going under restoration and it would take about 5 years to repair. This article, published by the OC Register, was released in 2016 so I don't know how far into the restoration they are.
@Christian Sanchez Indeed she is, and she looks brand spanking new with her gorgeous green paint scheme, green's my favorite color and was I lucky to see a locomotive in green, lol
Hey Mike, did you know that 340's operating again? She has a brand new shiny green paint scheme on her and she continues to operate today, you should go back sometime to check her out;) Who know's, maybe you'll see her with 41 doing a doubleheader
Turn right… turn right some more… a little more to the right….
@Big_Diehl Funnily enough it looks better here than in any of your videos.
Nice Video Mike
It's been years since I was there, I hardly remember anything.
i've been there
Knott's Ghost Town and Calico RxR runs 2-8-0 Baldwin SerNo 5780, built 1881, in Rio Grande Southern livery as Fleet No. 41, Class C-9. Exactly when was she converted to oil? (I presume her originally built as a coal-burner, as the petroleum industry had yet to take off while she was under construction at Matthias Baldwin's old works, Philadelphia, PA, USA.)
+B. C. Schmerker Yes, 41 and the other locomotive they have, number 340, were both converted to oil some time between 1951 - 1952 when they were moved from their original home in Colorado to Knott's Berry Farm in southern California for use in the park.
@@CoasterFan2105 what’s the status of 41 today?? I heard she is worn out. Not sure if she needs to be reboilered or a thorough zero corner cutting overhaul
@@nicholasmedovich8691being rebuilt at the d&s
Why don't I hear an air pump or dynamo?
Beatiful map and beatiful train a what is kota rio grande ya
What happened if it was Denver and Rio Grande loco?
I heard 41 is worn out. Not sure if her boiler needs replacement when i hear the words worn out. Same w 340
41 has been used more at knotts then 340 has.
@@kbfbest my only question is how much of a 1472 will 41 need when her overhaul time comes
When she needs her 15 year FRA rebuild they should send her to the Durango and Silverton railroad to get it done. They probably have the most experience with D&RG equipment.
@@timlester998I got some news for you… 😂
Infinite Winky Faces. ;-) ;-) ;-)
Would it be possible for 41 to visit Durango? RGS sometimes ran on the Silverton branch
Boy have we got some news for you…
@@Big_Diehl i’ve seen your latest video on the 41. My next question is, Would she ever be going back to Durango for events or something?
@@maxm4375 she has a federal boiler ticket, that’s up to Knott’s now.
