Hello Toy Man: Thank's for showing one of my ex-neighbour hood railroads, at 3:23 you are showing the "Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Ry" steam locomotive. It, of course ran from Seattle to the Eastern side of Lake Washington and along the way it went along the ship canal which connected Puget Sound with Lake Union and Lake Washington. I use to live just above Lake Union and the tracks were still in use, sparingly thou by the Northern Pacific, which lead them to the University of Washington Power Plant and on to the eastern side of the lake, and on up to Bothell and south to Issaquah, and so when they came west, found it easier to by up local railroads and save on building costs and extend the empire. Thank you for some interesting by gone railroads. Be seeing you!
Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane I always enjoy videos like this and would like to see more Memory Lane videos or ones going back long ago in time before my time I am 60 years old
Great stuff ghost tracking now that is cool,here in British Columbia we have many old Logging railways and maybe its time for us to go search them out, as always thanks for another fantastic show !
I just was sent a great MAP!!!! (Yup, I'm a geek) It's of Sugarhouse, and it shows all the railroads grades, standard gauge, trolley and NARROW GAUGE!! I'm using it in chapter 3 of the Salt Lake and Eastern and Salt Lake and Fort Douglas shows. WOW!!!
Thanks all, Don, this is great! In the next chapter, which I have tossed out the original edit and starting over, is on the lines to the Fort and Wagner's and Red Butte. (Carful not to misspell that) For this next section I have photo copies of the original survey plans. Drawn in a little 3X5 note book. So to Virginia St I know to the inch where it ran! And the 3 way switch, wye and sidings at the Fort! Looking for anything more I can find. I have the usual photo of the Shay at Wagner's but I hear there is another of these. And I have a poor etching of Wagner's from their letterhead. Looking for a better one.
you cannot have enough Hawaiian shirts! I sure love your channel! Next time i visit family in Utah, I'd like to see your layouts, or at least the places you go. Happy New Year!

Portland cement was NOT invented by T. Edison. He did come up with some innovations concerning its manufacturing. Portland cement antedates the inventor by at least 150 years. Thanks for your interesting videos though.
Yes, it's sort of complicated. Edison invented a better process and formed a company, Edison Portland Cement but licensed his design to plants like the one in Utah that used an Edison Kiln. This was a small operation for years before the Edison kiln, but really took off after the Edison deal.
What happened with your wife,.. I haven't seen her on a video with you for a while. I hope nothing bad came down like sickness, divorce or what ever, but realize life happens. You two seemed to always be able to bounce comments off of one another quite well.
All good!!! Your just looking at older videos before we were married. Even before we met! We are working on show #300 where we are going to recap the whole darn story!!! Quite a story!!

Love those little railroads. Planning on chasing a few more ghosts out there somewhere.

Sad we had to get rid of the convertible. Over heating problems. No fix. We need another rag top!

Utah is just the perfect place isn't it!!!
Buckle up in that soft top Toy Man! Cars, unlike trains, are pretty dangerous
When we are filming sometimes I take it off to set up the camera, and OOPS forget to put it back on. Dumb...
It’s on!
What kind of convertible is yours??
It was a Chrysler Sebring. Sort of died. Need a new ragtop.
American history is cool......
Never boring except in a HS classroom.
Toy Man Television LOL!!!.....so true!!!!

PS the kiln is still there but used as a haunted house for Halloween these days.
