- I first visited this museum with my father in 2013. I've wanted to go back since then and my train buddies just so happened to be planning a trip so we decided to go as a group. It ended up being a great trip and we saw many different trains and locomotives.
I spit my drink out when you said "Light Rapid Crappy"
This was definitely a great trip and really fun! Perfect day for all of it too! And then theres the few end clips with *peak comedy*

It was a time
I agree with you 💯
Someday if you ever come to the USA, You should come over to IRM (Illinois Railway Museum) In Union, IL! That museum is SO HUGE! I want to go there someday.
That locomotive Waddon is one of the London, Brighton, And South Coast Railway (LB&SC) Terrier class of 0-6-0's.
I would spend days in a place like that, taking it all in.
I've been to Exporail too, it's such a wonderful railway museum! AMT 1311 is an ex-CN GP9RM.
Those blue and white Montreal Metro cars shown at the 12-minute mark were model M-63 and built by Canadian Vickers. Their original seats had black vinyl padding on them. In subsequent years, however, these were replaced by the all-plastic type seen in this video, presumably due to easier cleaning, wear and tear over the years, and their vulnerability to vandalism of the vinyl. In addition, the original advertisement panels above the windows and doors were unwisely covered by a transparent, flammable material similar to celluloid that caused a serious fire. The single, vertical grab-bars at the ends of each M-63 car were later changed to triple grab-bars in the M-73 and Azure cars.
En 1908 la SNCF n exister pas encore.( la compagnie de l Ouest et le PO [Paris Orléans ] se partager la gare) La locomotive a été affrété au depot de chateabriant, a 1 heure de Nantes.
I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for taking us around with you and showing us some of the museum's treasured pieces. I also enjoyed those two Montreal street cars. I've been a long time member of The Seashore Trolley Museum up in good old Kennebunkport, Maine since 1975. I've ridden that Montreal car at that Museum at least a few times when I've been up there. The ride was quite impressive and quite informative, I might add. Anyways, Thanks again. I look forward to your next video. Until then, take care my friend. Happy Training. 🚇
Great little tour, thanks for sharing.
Man wish I could see a streamlined Texas, or a Trainmaster. You are a blessed country when it comes to railroad preservation.
Wow, what a great Museum. Too bad I live on the other side of the Atlantic. At 2.07 that looked like an old (c. 1910) Fowler boxcar, which are very rare in HO scale, but apparently CP had about 3,000 of them at one time. I really enjoyed this, and nice to see a real Royal Hudson too, as I have the Rapido HO scale version.
The Pennsylvania railroad museum actually has the same sort of thing where you can go underneath one or their steamers. I’ve been down there. It’s pretty cool. It only goes under one locomotive. How do they get those beams to hold up those heavy locomotives!?
Thats just like the national railway museum in York in England cause at york you can go under a steam train
I’ve been down there too.
Btw, it’s in Strasburg, P.A. Been there MANY times.
@@NorfolkSouthernRailfan754 I’ve been 1 time up there.
Oh nice ! CP SD-40-2 , C-424 and an FM Trainmaster. Many great loco's , freight and passenger equipment. I could easily spend an entire day here. Cool place and excellent video. 😁👍🇨🇦🚂🚃🚃 And a nice HO layout too.
I, for one, would like to see a representation of one of Delaware & Hudson's passenger trains in that model railroad display case - The Laurentian, The Montreal Limited and The Adirondack (both D&H and Amtrak) served Montreal until Covid 19 suspended the service. Those trains have a long history in Montreal and deserve recognition. They were and continue to be Quebec's only passenger rail link South to New York City. BTW, that Napierville Junction caboose was built in D&H's shops and was assigned to that subsidiary in Canada moving trains back and forth between Montreal and Rouses Point.
Hey, I'm 60 and would love to ride the scale train. Always keep a part of that little kid in your heart. ENJOY!!!!!
Wadden is a terrier it is named that because supposedly it makes a barking sound when it runs
Also, the open top street cars ran up the Mount Royal to the lookout and the old tracks are paved over on Camillion Houde Street, that goes over the mountain.
I don’t think 3569 is operating anymore, as far as my knoladge extends, the Oil Creek & Titusville has the last operating M420
I live about 20 minutes off of this museum and it is by far my favorite place to go! Also the fact that is is in constant motion, means that no 2 visite will be the same!
Locomotive CN 30, together with little sister CN 40, were used exclusively in the province of Prince Edward Island on the Esst Coast of Canada.
They are of Standard Gauge and mostly based inside the CN Charlottetown yard, and switched locally, when required
RSC-1 locomotives were used on the road ,and later RS-18; to the end of CN service to the Island.
I go back to the 60s and foundation of Exporail, which at that time, was fairly basic.
The National Railway Museum in York (coincidentally, the place where Dominion of Canada went in 2012) has an exhibit where you can go underneath Great Western Railway number 4003 "Lode Star".
3:12 GP9u 1311 was retired in 2010, and was a CN unit until the 1990s
6:32 Kawasaki Heavy Industries did produce steam locomotives for JNR back in the 1930s and 40s, as well as most of the shinkansen and other multiple units in Japan, as well as cars for many east coast commuter operations. It's the same company that builds motorcycles, robotic arms, ships, aircraft, and construction machinery
7:27 I thought this A4 pacific was in the main hall next to 2850
8:39 Waddon was acquired by Exporail in 1962 when it was still working 90 years later. I would like to see this engine restored to operating conditions someday
I would love to visit this museum someday too, maybe on a trip between Tronto and Montreal with a stop in Halifax
13:45 i’m sorry I keep posting comments but in Pennsylvania there’s a railroad museum right across the street from the Strasburg railroad you can actually go under one of the steam engines
That's good to know
i went there around 2013 as well. i don't remember much as i was really young but i would love to go again.
Tks!’ Going there this year love trains !!
If you ever come to the states, consider Monticello in Illinois. They've got some of the rarest locomotives ever produced by EMD.
Interesting museum they got over there, quite like the layout and everything of it. Also, doing some quick research shows that the FM trainmaster there is the only H-24-66 Trainmaster preserved intact in the world, a really special piece there.
I've read that they have an H16-44 somewhere too, though the photos showed it in pretty rough condition. One of three survivors, there's are also two H16-44's in Mexico.
CP only bought the one Trainmaster. Then donated it when they retired it. It is the last surviving TM.
@@iannarita9816 CP bought 1 Trainmaster (#8900) from Fairbanks Morse directly, and 20 from Canadian Locomotive Company (#8901 - 8920). The preserved locomotive (#8905) is one of the ones made by CLC.
I have seen “Dominion of Canada” famous brother “Mallard” several times at the National Railway Museum at York,UK. I believe the 2013 trip they reunited all the engines of that type. Waddon is an A1 Terrier the same class as Stepney which is both a real engine in preservation and one of the locomotives characters in “Thomas the tank engine”. Lots of great stuff out there.
Same, I saw it at the great gathering
Amazing video! I remember when I was young I went to Toronto museum and saw a Baldwin 4-8-4 steam loco with a CP s2 loco.Sure is fun to see these old time locomotives.
4:32 The locomotive next to the steam engine is a Alco rs3
Delson is an amazing museum, surprised they moved the Dominion of Canada to the secondary shed, use to be beside 2850. Great video as always Harrison!
I'm surprised they wouldn't want to keep it in their main one like they used to since it's such a special piece.
happy ya filmed as you went through. It may be awhile before I get to see it in person. Elgin Railway Museum is local for us.🚂🇨🇦
Here is a good question what category does a ho scale snow plow or a snowblower in Train cars or Locomotives?
It would be nice if CP had a steam crew like the UP. It would be nice to see a Selkirk up and running again.
Yet again, those things are probably too massive for their own good.
UP’s steam program is actually part of their marketing department and that is where the budget comes from. All of the news footage that they get is essentially considered “free” advertising for them and I think it’s a very creative way to have a program kept alive.
@@robby062 Thats an interesting idea of their's
That subway car is one of the first ever subway cars on the Montréal metro made in 1963
So who really bailed you out of the train museum jail for recording the excursion, Harrison? And they let you keep the footage. 😲
Nice work on the narration as a whole. The visit makes me homesick for Steamtown.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
At another railway museum in Québec, I saw a live steam model of a Big Boy at the same scale as the "ride-on" train.
2:40 the Titusville oil creek and railroad operates this locomotive for excursions. It runs like a beauty. She has power.
HArrison, if you're ever in Los Angeles, let me know and I'll take you to the L.A. Live Steamers for a ride or two around their track. Same type of ride as here, but with a live steam engine usually in the lead. Great fun!!!!
You should go to Horseshoe Curve. Altoona Pennsylvania. Great and historical place. I've been there before and its awesome! There's a store. And old engine up there. And a museum . And near there is a place called Cassandra Overlook. Its a place where you can chill and watch the trains go bye. And theres a bridge that goes RIGHTTT over the train and you can feel the exhaust and wind. Its awesome. You should do that for a video someday!
I like the video I have to say that I saw two of my favorite train in your early videos the big boy and the tgv
That looks like an awesome place! You should definitely come out to the Illinois Railway Museum one day. You'll have a blast at IRM!
and take video of M35, it's an EMC railcar identical to ones in australia.
At 5:53 is Roberval & Saguenay number 20 an Alco RS2
(Roberval Saguenay or RS is a local short line in Quebec own by Rio tinto) The railroad is still operating between Port Alfred and Arvida...it supplies three Aluminium producer in the region of the Saguenay Lac St Jean
The Metro car is an older MR63 Zmodel, and it wss good to see a Canadian Vickers bilevel car there, EXO recently sold all the rest for scrap. Comming soon, the AMT MR90s from the Deux Montagnes line, all are currently motored at the EXO shops in Pointe St Charles.
The yellow RS n.20 was build in Montreal in 1949 and send to the Roberval Saguenay Railroad! It was send back to MTL to the museum after longs years of service!
if only the wakefield train was donated to this museum
all rail tracks in wakefield were filled with stones. It is so sad that they did not make a museum there. The turntable is rotting away there.
Awesome video! I also caught Q137 @ Baltimore yards & it had a ST70AH trailing.
I haven’t been there since spring 2013. Kinda interesting but the track and cobble stone near the street cars was actually uncovered by the city of Montreal and donated around 2010 and was about to be laid down in the museum
I had no idea it was actual cobble stone they used, very interesting!
@6:27 “Kwaski”. Do you mean “Kah wah sock kee”? Or is this a Canadian versus American pronunciation thing like “ass-fault” versus “ash-fault” or “deckle” versus “dee-cow”?
Welllllllll Harrison, thank you for pulling me out from underneath the rock I've been. I was born and raised on the west island of Montreal and wasn't aware a museum like this existed. Thank you for sharing your trip! I will definately be going there when I'm in Montreal in the fall. Take care. Sean.
the Via Rail engine 6309. I took that a long time ago when I was 14 years old. From Vancouver to Toronto that was in 1994. I am 46 years old now. What's funny is most of those trains I have rode on. the blue Metro Car I used to take that to work when I lived in Montreal everyday. The one with the rubber Wheels. I heard they got new ones. I live in Winnipeg now so I haven't been back to those places in a long time. I also travelled on the train when I was 10 years old from Winnipeg to Toronto. And travelling on a train with much different than that is now.
1311 is an EMD GP9M. 6765 is an Alco FA2. 6153 has a long version 6-axle Vanderbuilt style tender much like the HO scale 2-10-2 that you have. 1382 is another EMD SW7 or SW1200 series.
What a nice looking musuem. It also was good to see all the guys and you having a good time. This is one place I would love to visit.
SMT, u need to go the largest railway museum in North America, the Illinois Railway Museum
The trolley museum at Warehouse Point Connecticut has a trolley like the one at 3:56
The AMT locomotive is A EX CN GP9M
Good stuff as usual; I sometimes wish the railfanning and hobbyshop videos were longer; but, you are doing the work so what ever you can manage is always interesting.
Great tour. It’s been a few years since I was last there, been there several times as I only live a little over an hour to the south in NY.
Awesome vid!! this museum has the best collection of Canadian steam!!
@10:57 I know the smell you’re talking about. I always smell it at the car shop at the B&O museum in Baltimore and the Pennsylvania RR museum. I always thought it was the smell of cosmoline, a grease-like corrosion inhibitor.
What a wonderful video. If I am ever in Canada close to this museum I will visit it. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
Love The LRC Locomotive
Cp 4744 is actually the first North American locomotive to have AC Technology!
That's interesting
Excellent!
Soooo cool! I never knew this existed. Thanks for tour and commentary. Now I don’t have to go! You should sell your narration to the museum and you can give self guided tours. Each locomotive could have a QR code and when they scan it they can listen to your history lesson.
I don't think they'd want to pay much for it haha
wow that trip looks like a lot of fun and i hope i get to visit a railway museum soon
Thanks for sharing your trip with all of us. I went there around 2000 with fellow members of a local model railroad club. We had a great time. Of course there’s more displays today.
8:36
Waddon is an LB&SCR A1 class, also called a terrier, 0-6-0T tank engine built for the, aforementioned, London Brighton and south coast railway (LB&SCR for short)
Had lots of fun you you and the lads that day. Hopefully trying to show off all the stock in the train store isn't as hard as it was finding it hehe.
It was a great day. That shop tour is taking a while to put together.
What an amazing experience! Great video.
I believe that Alco was mostly used by New York Central for mail sometimes freight and small passenger service
You said train show and i said to my self "im goin to a train show in springfeild mo
5935 was actually the last Canadian steam locomotive to be built
That's cool, I wasn't aware of that.
St. Lawrence & Atlantic was formed by Yorkrail to run the ex-Grand Trunk/CN line from Portland ME to Norton and eventually picking up the rest of the line to Sainte-Rosalie. Eventually Genesee & Wyoming took over.
CN retired the M420W fleet in 1998; SLA bought a few of them but did not keep them long, reselling them in 2002. This one is probably DOA as it doesn't seem to have moved since the museum got it.
AMT 1311 ex-CN 4307 GP9RM donated 8/11 one of four (1310-1313) rebuilt for AMT in 1990. With no HEP capability they ran with the generator cars as is coupled to this one.
The yellow MLW RS2 is ex-Robervale & Saquenay, retired 1976 and presumably donated then.
CP 7077, S2, first production diesel built by Montreal Locomotive Works, 1948
(3:04)
Here is some info.
CN Class GC-418a #1311,
General Motors GP9u Locomotive built in 1959 as CN 4307,
1990 - Rebuilt and Renumbered STCUM 1311,
1996 - Transferred to AMT
Sometime i would love visit there
You put a big smile in my face with this video.
Glad to hear that :)
Nice Video! I just went there a couple weeks ago
Next time maybe I will meet you there!
That would be awesome
If you Can Check out The Duluth Supiror Train museum they do Train rides they have a Good Display.
The bell you se at 10:12 is from a steam engine and guess what… I rang that bell when i was younger I think I was like 7 or 8 it was at one of the cn yards in montreal
I used to go to the museum back in the late 70s or early 80s I remember the model train layout was in the basement of the small station house next to the turntable. This was also the entrance to the museum. The museum was much smaller then but many of the locomotives I recognize from this time period
NO WAY! I HAVE THAT 70 TONNER MODEL IN EXACT SAME ROAD NUMBER
The blue subway car from Montreal runs on rubber tires with steel wheel backup in case of flat tire
SNCF is not a manufacturer, but the French national railroad company.
saludos amigo hermoso museo lindas maquinas yautovias
steam oil has a very distintive smell, almost a perfume :)
Very interesting.. Absolutely awesome. You made my day.. I too have visited a railway museum in India. Its still fresh in my memory
The steam locomotive no 713 used to have its bell’s rope and they would let us ring it.
It may be partially my fault if the bell’s rope got removed.
what a cool experience!
I never heard anybody spell kawassky like that,, weird.
I go here every Christmas!
Yamaha build motorcycles and musical instruments, which is why their logo is three tuning forks.
Agree with you on the classic CP livery and actually it's a bit of a shame the went with the Colormark " Pacman " scheme on the M636 as that livery absolutely fits the big Alco shape.
Feeling really old seeing an SD40-2 and LRC as museum pieces as those were kings of the main the better part of my adult years.
As to the British Mallard Class keep this in mind they didn't have automatic stokers and were fired by hand.
And lastly as to the miniature train in the words of Tom Bakers 4th doctor what's the point of being an adult if you can't act childish once in a while.
They did that I think because CP rebuilt and upgraded the unit at one point and so it can't easily be returned to 100% original.
@@CR7659 also I'd assume they went with that because that's the livery it spent the majority of it's life in. The classic CP livery was fairly short lived on 2nd gen power.
The Blue cars are from the Montreal Métro, patterned on the Paris Métro. They always run on tires filled with nitrogen on special plate track and the steel wheels are for energency. This type of Métro cars were used for years, starting in1967, replaced by newer types today.
MR63, MR73 and Azur… Based on MP67(?) of the Paris Metro.
13:45 you can also do it in the train museum in strasburg
Awesome :)
Have you been to the Duluth Mesabi train museum
I think b and o museum let’s you walk under too
