Yo, I've been to that railroad museum. It doesn't really hit you how big that cab forward is until you're standing right next to it
Fellow Californian here. That thing is massive compared to its photos
@@PedroFerrer-vq5sw I know right like the thing is so massive. You can't really get a picture of it with your phone. Not the whole thing anyway
You sit and wonder how the hell they got those locomotives in the rafters lol
@@IAmAnonymyz big cranes got them in there before they put on the roof
@@davidphillips5677 oh I know but still it's pretty nuts seeing them in the rafters.... I remember going to Railfair there....man Hyce would have wet his pants back then... #4449, #844, #3985 was there. They had a Shay and a Heisler...a bunch of vintage diesels there too... the #5623 in Black Widow out of Niles Canyon iirc those were the days....nowadays the EPA would a royal hissy fit
I can’t believe Hyce risked his life for this one by flying on a Boeing plane, incredible
I'm as much a chauvinist for my home state railroad museum as the next person, but I gotta admit this blows Baltimore's museum out of the water. I love all the little exhibits they've made, and all the hidden details and artifacts, like the Mogul hanging out in the ceiling cage.
I grew up close enough to Sacramento that my parents took me to the Railroad Museum multiple times a year every year up until we moved away. That place is a core memory for me. I remember riding the excursion trains around outside and being able to walk up inside the 4294’s cab and look around. I miss that place, would love to go back when I have the money.
YOOO!! I'm a brakeman on the excursion line there! Had no idea y'all were coming. Glad you enjoyed the museum
Yooo I'm from WRM just down the way, you should head out this way or i should head up that way!
I believe that Santa Fe #1010 is only engine that still exists of those that made up the famous 'Scott Special' or 'Coyote Special' of 1905 that set the speed record from Los Angeles to Chicago after Walter Scott(aka 'Death Valley Scotty') paid the Santa Fe $5500 for the event and notoriety. The old western historical TV series 'Death Valley Days' did a fun episode on the event even showing 'Scotty' shoveling coal into the firebox to "go faster!". OH, and YES, this was also before the opening of the Panama Canal, LOL!
The Cab Forward articulated locomotive is a feet of engineering (no pun intended) and it is an interesting set up where the engineer is sitting forward while the fireman is facing backwards to work the fire. Which you probably know this but the Southern Pacific Cab Forwards were used over the Sierra Nevada Mountains including Donner Pass, and due to the amount of tunnels and snow sheds the railroad passed through, left the engineer and fireman at risk from suffocating in standard cab locomotive. Which I guess you could say that the Cab Forward was the prototype of front facing cab locomotive.
i love that engine
"Do you need a minute?"
God, you know you have a true passion for trains when despite living and breathing *working* engines over at the Colorado museum you still get so hyped over even a stationary display.
I went through that whole museum just a few years ago. Such a cool place, love the way they walk through everything chronologically.
Welcome to my state! If you have time, you should visit the dormant rail yard in Fillmore. You can find some neat stuff in a yard that had tons of scenic railway action just a few years ago
I haven’t been there in probably 15 years, but as a kid going to Old Sacramento and the RR museum was probably a monthly thing, with how much I loved trains.
Thank you for sharing this vlog, it’s always a great time seeing what gunzel shenanigans you get up to.
I served a mission in Northern CA and got to visit that museum a couple times in subsequent visits to California. Loved it! The Cab Forward is extraordinary, and I actually have a HO model of that class of engine. But fun vlog and thanks for sharing!
C.P. Huntington aka Southern Pacific No. 1 my beloved
6:37 the museum is undertaking the effort to restore 1010 and run it on the sac southern line. (3 or so miles of track that goes along the sac river).
The sac shops across the UP row is part of the museum and is more or less their storage space.
Santa Fe 1010 has a very interesting operational history if you're not familiar with it. When I was at the Sacramento railroad museum for it's grand opening in 1981, they ran 1010 out of the building on to the turntable using compressed air.
So I got home after an absolutely Charlie Foxtrot of a night at work, and I think "Hey, I haven't watched Hyce's video about the railroad museum yet. I should watch that. Fun video as always, but for some reason - I blame last night's stress - your teensy voice while saying "Itty bitty little blowdown" made me crack up. And I cracked up again at the "Knuckle!" joke later. Thanks guys, I needed that. :)
What a magnificent collection! Sooo much to foam over, don’t know where to begin. It’s such a privilege to get this introductory tour from two fabulous experts! So many thanks Professor for bringing us along through this absolutely amazing video. As always cheers to you, Brett and Leighton! Wow!!!
Virtual roadtrip with Hyce and the crew...yaayy
One of my favorite railroad museums! Love the cab forward and CP Huntington
what the fuck youtubers arent supposed to record in places that ive been
this is incredibly cool, and i love this video
I need to visit that museum. Legend has it that my Grandfather's layout was donated to the museum after he passed away, and the little layout at 11:56 looked really familiar from my childhood.
I like that the placard bases are hand brake wheels
11:10 - Fun fact: Giuseppe there is the cameo self-portrait of the artist who did all the mannequins.
Great Museum. It's been a while since I have been there. I saw 4294 when it was sitting out in the open at the Sacramento yard before the museum was built. Would have liked to see more of the third floor with the layouts by Malcolm Furlow, Jim Vail, and the guys from Australia. If you have time see the Niles Canyon Railway and Jamestown.
Ey, I actually am from Sacramento. I’ve lived here for 7 almost 8 years. The railroad museum is beautiful. So many wonderful Locomotives. Been there Many times! Overall a great place that sometimes gets overlooked.
Love all the brake wheel sign stands
12:09 - Australian garratt spotted. I would love to know how that was added in to the collection in Sacramento. It’s cool to see but a weird addition.
Me and my daughter wondered if you had stopped by the Museum before coming down this way. Looks like you all had a great time. We stop by there about every 2-3 years while in Sac for live steam meets. Occasionally the club during the meets manages to get shop tours for those interested.
During your Liverpool conversation I was thinking “that’ll be enough of that , lad!” 😂
Heckin vlog mate! I hope you do more of these, I really liked it
I've been working on a project for the last few months, i am trying to remake state railroad museums in lego. Right now i am doing the entire California state railroad museum (digital because i'm broke). I don't live in Sacramento so new videos about it really helps, i've been relying on google maps street view pictures to accomplish it. Thank you.
Sounds like a rad project dude! Glad I could help.
I'm 3 miles from the railroad museum. Awesome that y'all paid a visit.
God, I was born and raised in California’s Bay Area and always loved coming to this museum. While there’s a train museum in Frisco, it’s mostly static engine displays, and wandering around the engines in the middle of a hot Texas summer is not always the most fun idea, I always preferred the Sacramento Train museum.
That cab forward is a monstrosity omg
Man it's been a hot minute since I took my kid there, something about being in school now and only having the summers free and well not wanting to go to Sacramento in the summer.
I always feel kind of sad for Nevada shortline engine that is in the rafters of that museum
It is such a cute engine and would be great for some of the smaller narrow gauge tourist lines
Ive been there 4 times and i can tell you its great. Ive never gotten enough of it. BTW, did you take the transcontinental railroad tour?
I don't live too far, It's one I've visited many times in my youth and after. Wild to see someone go through something you know from heart for their first time experience, Enjoy Old Sac!
Hyce,
WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA!
I know you've mentioned them before, but if you ever want to do a deep dive on the DM&IR Yellowstones, I hope you'll come to Duluth. There's one in the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and two displayed outdoors within about a half hour's driving.
I hope you visited the sister museum in Jamestown, CA
Come to Wisconsin’s Green Bay rr museum. They have a British A4 and a big boy INDOORS and you get to go into the cab!
While your down there you should visit the Western Railway Museum.
You should visit the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
Hope you guys get out to B&O Museum some time !
Great video! I recommend you catch out Niles Cayon railroad, it is quite the cool place!
Hyce done went to California everybody look out he's taking over. Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I always liked going to Old Town Sac and the train museum. Went for the first time in quite a few years not too long ago, but went quite a bit as a kid; always liked sitting out by the tracks after going to the candy store there in Old Town and watching trains pass.
I think I've only seen it 'closed' once, but did you guys get to go up inside the cab forward? Also the St Hyacinthe is a sleeper that (you can walk through) the museum set up to simulates a ride at night with the car actually rocking/swaying, sounds of the tracks and crossings, and screens in the windows to show various lights like the red crossing ones and passing towns
Should have taken the Train to Sacramento
Wish I knew you guys were coming to my hometown, would’ve invited y’all down to my club and showed you guys our working CTC machine for the layout.
After two first 4-4-0's i have thought"what a weird museum with the yeee olde choo-choos only". But Then seeing 2-6-2, oil fired rotary AND ventilation above them- maaaan give'm diosaur juice, water, flame and BEEEEAAANS the sh*t out of this spinning wheel of death 🤣🤣🤣
Crazy to think I haven't been there since like 4 years old 22 years ago...
I’m sad you where here and I didn’t know. I would’ve loved to meet you at my childhood railroad museum.
Lmao while you travelled to California and saw our RR museum, I travelled from CA to CO and saw the Colorado Railroad Museum!
I wonder if that cab forward was inspiration for the transport pod of the third stage guild navigator in the Dune movie. Not the new ones, but the good one.
The fact that I got a harmonica in Ellis island when this video was posted is just crazy
There is/was couple of big Santa Fe locomotives south of the museum along the river. Neglected by the museum.
They haven't been there for years. Around 2016 they were moved back to Old Sacramento and painted black.
Can we look forward to more museum tours?
A lot of nice reference material there for your Vidja game eh? Hope you took tons of photo's and video.
Glad you got to visit the CSRM close to where I grew up, Did you guys have time to get up to Jamestown where they have the shays and hiesler? and the old belt driven machine shop that still operates. its Railtown 1897 and operated by the CSRM
You should do videos of the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff. That'd be fun.
YOOOOOO WELCOME TO MY HOME TOWN LOL
best choochoo museum near me
It's great that I wasn't the only one to go uhhhhhh when they first saw the cab forward. Also did you guys find the original golden spike? It's tucked off in a corner if I remember correctly.
Should have told us you were in Sacramento! I’ve been to the museum dozens and dozens of times.
Fun fact for you, Hyce! I live in the Sacramento area.
still need you to visit duluth's lake superior railroad museum
I have a feeling we're headed for the 9000
The mogul has been banished
As someone born and raised in Sacramento, its weird to see people talk about Sacramento
damn hyce drives a wrx? did not expect that. kinda assumed you would drive something vintage and american
What did you think it’s pretty cool huh?As a regular to the rail museum in old Sacramento it’s pretty great
12:09 ad60 class moment. speaking of can somebody please save 6042 from rotting away in a field near forbes NSW.
You should have posted something saying you were headed for Sacramento. I am headed over there this Saturday to see my drag teacher perform. I would love to meet you in person.
I love it there!
Hey Hyce, I know you're not Amtrak but wouldn't you rather fly on a train? (Cool to see the de-icing operations though.)
Also, boy would I love to see a steam-powered Cab Forward run again. Overall a great video, can't wait for more details.
Hyce did the funny, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hyce.. you barely scratch the surface on this please I hoped you'd have more content in side the museum.. it's making me want to return I haven't been there since 1990 steam up happened there
Welcome to Sacramento!
2 hours from my hometown
I'm just curious, did you take the plane because of time constraints?
Illinois Railway Museum when?
I just made that trip from DIA to California right before you in the same environment.
Wahoo!
Whoop!
Oh my gosh, you're on town??
That 4-2-4... Don't ask it about tractive effort, he doesn't know
Nice exhibition. What's going on with Mark's lavalier? I can't hear him very clearly.
6:01 hey it’s my profile picture
Are you building a locomotive? 5:10

Hyce gas gotta come by the western railway musem sometime, I'd love to have him there!

Did you see the choo choo on mirrors?
Yes, yes we did.
@@Hyce777 I would have said "MY EYES, ITS TOO BEAUTIFUL AND SHINEY"
Wellcom to my hell state only a hour away from a town of hell
Sooooo , did you like our museum or were you making fun of it?
My apologies for getting serious here, but a serious issue has entered my RUclips experience, that is videos being posted by people who hop freights. Any thoughts?
I drive a Subaru outback almost exclusively because of snowy roads.
Many big tren inside plus smol doot make big happy
What is a 4-2-4(T?) called like its designation? It looks like a Tenmile's little brother.
