One thing you didn’t know mate is that 60008 is one of the 6 preserved a4s to be here today
Very nice and interesting video mate but must point out that A4 60008 Dwight D.Eisenhower entered service in Sept 1937 as Golden Shuttle and was renamed in Sept 1945 withdrawn July 1963.Loved the look around Big Boy that is one big engine,did notice not a lot of people there ? cheers Steve..PS you owe me 10 points for snow plough ....
+stestepney hey thanks for your comment & information! And of course thanks for your interest in my You Tube Channel...I appreciate your watching...As I ask anyone who writes, if you have any suggestions for content, please feel free to let me know & I will see if I can film it :-) Cheers - Brian
P.S. You noticed there weren't too many people around...weird eh? But I am careful as well, not to get too many people (Unintentionally) filmed..just in case if someone notices and make a fuss...10 points granted LOL!
Glad this got pointed out. Also it was built by LNER not by British Railways.
My first time at this museum was in the 60s. All the Locomotives were on a track that was in a circle. You were allowed to crawl all over the Engines which I did. There were no steps going to the cabs or alongside the boilers. I remember going from the cab onto the walkway alongside the boiler which meant I had to go through the small door in front of the Engineer. The Dwight D Eisenhower was undercover and all the furnishings were original. The train ride was being pulled by a live steam Locomotive. The next time I went was in the '80s. Much had changed by that time. At some point, the Dwight D Eisenhower was being pulled out in preparation for a trip to Texas. The diesel engine used to pull out the Mallard had a chimney fire and shot flames from its stack some 20 feet into the air. A man standing next to me asked if I got that on video which I said yes. We talked for a while and he asked me if I had had my train ride yet. I said no and he said, "How would you like to ride in the cab"? It turned out he was one of the executives of the Museum. My son and I rode in the fireman's side. It was a steam locomotive but no live steam. Instead, they put a diesel engine in the coal car and that pushed the engine and pulled the cars.
My understanding is the locals complained about the dirty noisy live steam engines and were forced to stop live steam runs. What a shame! Still, it is a great museum to go to.
Dwight d Eisenhower was an A4 Pacific locomotive built by sit Nigel Greeley just before the war. It was not built for BR it was actually built for the lner. BR only came into existence in 1949, after the war
I’ve been here before. It was the coolest actually seeing an LNER A1 in the states! In one of the old sheds, they store an old Thomas the Tank Engine shell from rail fair 1993, it’s all bent out of shape and broken, you should check it out next time you go there!
I'm heading out to the mid continent rail museum sometime in April after they open up for the season! Stay tuned
And the 4 a4s which are still reside in U.K. are 60009 60007 60019 and 60022 the loco which achieved 126mph
If you don't know yet, the Union Pacific Railroad bought a Big Boy back from a railroad museum in California sometime around 2013. In 2014 they towed it back to their steam shops in Cheyenne, Wyoming to be restored to operating condition, hopefully by 2019. A few major modifications they'll be doing is converting it from coal to fuel oil, and upgrading the cab with modern day electronics like radio, multiple unit control, and so on.
Number 4014. Here's a link to the restoration update: ruclips.net/video/YHw8bJvQivA/видео.html
The British A4 class loco Dwight D Eisenhower that you saw was actually built by the LNER/London North Eastern Railway in the 30s and was designed by Sir nigel gresley (who also designed the Flying scotsman) and was renamed to Dwight D Eisenhower during WW2 it used to be named somthing else before. It originally worked on tne East coast main line from London to Edinburgh halling the flying scotsman train service. It is also sister engine to the famous MALLARD which is the loco that whent 126mph a record for steam trains that still stands today. I have done a lot of research on British trains in my spear time 😑 don't juge me.
Well done. I don't know if you know, but the reason it is in a British Rail livery is because of the privatisation of all of Britain's railways under one company British Railways. For some odd reason they left her in that livery.
60008's original name was "Golden Shuttle"
The other a4 that you can’t see is 4489 dominion of Canada based in Montreal
Good music!
Good visit and good video. But I do need to point out that Dwight D. Eisenhower was originally built for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1937, it was originally named Golden Shuttle and numbered 4496. She was renamed in 1945 after the war. British Railways didn't exist until after the war when both the big four companies (LNER, London Midland and Scottish Railway - LMS, Southern Railway - SR and Great Western Railway -GWR) were nationalised by Clement Attlee's Labour government in 1948 to form British Railways. The war had worn out the railways and the big four had run out of money and the railways were in desperate need to rebuilding and restructuring hence why they were nationalised. All the locos of the former LNER, LMS, GWR and SR were simply handed over to BR and were repainted and renumbered in BR liveries and BR numbers. With No.4496 being renumbered 60008.
Nice!
The locomotive Dwight D Eisenhower was built during the Second World War for the London North Eastern Railway. British Rail came much later during the privatisation of Britain's railways under one company. It was just decided to leave her under that livery.
It was built in 1937 as part of LNER's A4 fleet named 'Golden Shuttle'; privatisation came shortly after WWII in 1948. The livery is gorgeous though
60008 was built by the LNER (London North Eastern Railway) not BR. British Railways is the company that came about in 1948 which joined the LNER up with the LMS, SR & GWR. Reason it moved to America is because someone in America was after it but BR were still using the engine, they did however say that upon withdrawal it would be donated to them.
The livery in question now was applied while the engine returned to the UK in 2012 prior to the 75th anniversary celebrations of Mallards speed record.
dont forget it returned home to the uk for the NRM (national railway museums) great gathering of all 6 A4s
Im now wondering is that both 60008 and 60010 can return back to the U.K. base this time to get overhaul started and return back to the mainline
One of the streamlined A4s has the namesake to the designer himself and that is 60007 unusually as 4498
The four seats in a Boy Boy.Engineer,Fireman,Head end brakeman and a spare
I suspect you were surprised to see 60008 the A4 locomotive built by sir Nigel gresley during the 30s at Doncaster in Yorkshire
Very nice museum. Looks a bit complex giving how big it is.
You should come to the National Railway Museum as she's a whopper.
@@scootergrant8683 I love to. Problem is that I live in Australia so might be a journey
i have been there several times and i love it there fun fact the A4 60008 Dwight D. Eisenhower is the only A4 in the united states but there is two in N
orth America
Trains and groove music
The wooden tank cars were for hauling wine
It Is a locomotive not a train.
Is the Eisenhower still there?
As far as I know - when the weather warms here in the upper midwest, One Year Out Productions will be launching a new series dedicated to exploring trains of the U.S.. The National Train Museum will be lo be of my first stops! Stay tuned :-)
at 12:20 He served The Uk
7:43 at the polar express I saw two kids getting their heads ratted out by a worker for running there
I and out of trains
Its not the national railway museum, that is in york england
Right - this one is in Green Bay, WI. Thanks for watching!
National means in that nation, that country
Streamline train
the A4, I thought they were only in the UK
the a4s are only in the uk they probably saved it form scrap
maybe, but also, they have brought another streamed-lined engine the US during the world fair.
Hey guys I am checking in here to your comment thread....From what I know there are 3 A4's here in the U.S. with Greenbay being the home of the Eisenhower train. I was thinking about making a 2nd visit up there soon, I could do some more in depth research and film more a bit of how & why it ended up here...let me know your thoughts? thanks! Brian O.Y.O.
great thanks, but besides the A4, there was, think a different type of streamed lined loco, to my memory, it had a rounded front. shown at the world fair.
There are 6 preserved A4's, 4 of them are in the UK ( Bittern, Mallard, Union of South Africa and Sir Nigel Gresley), 1 is in Canada (Dominion of Canada) and one in the US (Dwight D. Eisenhower).
Is it the toy guy
no his voice is completely different sounding and he's usually accompanied by a lady whose name i forget ...
Great video, really dorky music.
No one in the world could shovel the tons of coal the big boy needed to do what it was built for. Haul long trains up the rocky mountains during world war 2.
