"Shoutout Oceanliner Designs" first the adjacent tie to Aging Wheels through shared sponsors, then being on Lawrie's Podcast, now our friend Mike Brady... It really is a small world... It's nice to see the interior of this business car still intact, we have a business car from the Dominion Atlantic Railroad (later part of CP) named Nova Scotia, that survived the Halifax Explosion of 1917, and later went on to be CP Business Car #7 where it went on to be one of the last wooden cars in mainline service in Canada. Unfortunately by the time we got it, it had been completely gutted other than the bathroom and a single office at the B End, as it got used as the reception car in a restaurant made out of train cars called the Ossawippi Express... As such we turned it into an exhibit car, and restored the exterior as best we could, but, still a shame that it lost it's true charm...
13:16 Ah, yes the snitch gauge, displaying the train's speed for all the executives to see. I know what I'd do to that darn thing if I was the engineer and got a moments chance to. Lets just say it would need quite a few stitches > : )
You can tell the private car is from the late 1800s to early 1900s because the bathroom has a push button light switch. Those switches are beyond cool and stupid simple when you look at the internals.
We are planning to release a fully updated version of our Colorado Midland Car Big Train Tour once the car finishes the current batch of restoration work in the shop - it will eventually end up next to the 96 car.
that must have been the car I saw in the left side of the restoration shop when I visited the museum last september; if I remember correctly, most of the outer sheathing had been completely removed and I could see the inner structure of the car (of course, this was all seen from the safety of the visitor's observation room) Hopefully next time I visit, restoration will be complete and it will be in its new permanent home next to the 96!
At the end when he’s thanking the engineers, it shows an engineer runing the train, when he’s thanking the firemen, it shows a fireman shoveling coal into a fire, when he’s thanking the conductors, it shows a conductor leaning out the side of the train, and by this logic, when he’s thanking the brakemen, it shows a brakeman getting run over!
Lmao, I only had the one shot of someone doing brakeman things and it wasn't long enough, and I liked the shot of 491... That's a hilarious take though
To do a fine gentleman voice isn't about sounding british, it's merely the extravagant use of eloquent words in a fine fashion of everyday parlance. The greater the use of such words to convey even the simplest message, the better. So, to the esteemed Director Mr. M. Huber of the East Salida & Denver Railroad, I must extend my greatest and most sincere gratitude for this thurough and immaculate presentation which, in no small quantity, have granted me the pleasure of witnessing such a delightful vehicle as this fanciful carriage, ever so resplendant in the finest craftsmanship seen upon this great Earth, and with the opulence and luxury as can be expected of the golden age of rail travel, be it for business or pleasure. Add to that, a most respectable appearance of Director Mr. M. Huber himself.
For your excellence in conveying the highest standard of the english lexicon, I must offer you my utmost sincere contrafibularities. However, I believe it is due time for your being to apologise to Mr. M. Huber for instilling within him a state of pericombobulation.
Damn. I've never seen a private jet but from various accounts they got nothing on this car. Love all that mahogany (and in spite of it not being a very light colored wood it doesn't make the space feel smaller). The galley is tiny but whoever laid it out knew what they were doing and a single chef could work in there really efficiently. The staff quarters also look remarkably comfortable. Thanks for sharing! PS. I lol'd so hard at the tail end of the video.....
Having seen a few lesser private jets, and also having had a chance to tour a few retired "Air Force One" jets... The only private jets that can compete are on the level of Air Force One. Which actually makes a lot of sense, when you think about it. In a train car, you primary concern is simply finding space for everything. A private jet also has to consider weight, because it massively affects range and fuel usage. A lot of modern executives favor range and speed over amenities; they can do their work on the ground. The jet doesn't need to double as an office, like this one does. Air Force One does need to work as an office and a command center AND has in-flight refueling capabilities, so these things aren't huge issues, and more amenities can be included.
Loved that shootout to Mike Brady (our friend from Oceanliner Designs). A railway car is a lot smaller than an ocean liner [citation hopefully not needed], but the level of pluxury (plush luxury) in a high-end C-Suite car probably rivals that of era-equavilent ocean liners. Which would mean less _Titanic,_ and something a few decades prior, more in the wheelhouse of _Part-Time Explorer._
Awesome tour of the business car. I saw FDR's car at Scrantan, and what struck me was how firm the beds were. They (Steam Town) had about 2/3 the interior restored, but they opened it up for Steam Days. It was really cool.
Loved this episode! I'm an 80 year old lady who has had some amazing railroad experiences. Back in the nineties I actually got to travel on the Union Pacific executive cars. It was fabulous and a never forgotten experience. We had a porter and a chef with a kitchen, dining and sleeping car but best of all was the caboose where we spent the day. This caboose had been used by multiple US Presidents and it was fascinating and historical as many of the instruments were still fully functional. When a president was on board there were special communications and accommodations for staff. Of course the entire locomotive and a couple of other cars were all spiffed up and shining for every executive move including the one I was on. All that and I didn't have a camera!
I think it's absolutely wonderful the museum gets to preserve such a beautiful train car. Generations to come should be able to see these things in as pristine condition as possible.
I almost forgot to comment on this, but this has given me a new goal in my railroad adventures. I am now adjusting my goal of building a caboose to building my own personal business car. (lucky what I was doing for to build a 2ft. caboose will work well with the standard gauge business car idea) Have a wonderful day everyone! *birbs*
You really got your kit on for this vid, Hyce- very classy! I actually got to be in this same business car when I took the Kitchen tour the museum hosts when I came by in June and part of me felt very under-dressed for it, but learning some of this history was more than worth it! Also got to see a crew doing some work on getting the over side getting work done for the second car site.
Fancy as hell! I think I'd rather take a short trip on one of these than on a modern cruise ship. Also, porter's quarters. That's fun to say. Porter's quarters porter's quarters porter's quarters!
Come ride the Via in Canada! Our 1950s Budd cars may lack the wood paneling, but everything else is basically the same. Plus we’ve got dome cars! I try and do the trip from Edmonton to Vancouver every winter, when sleeper tickets are cheap and return flights are cheaper.
This video was very well timed with my current art-deco highly ornate obsession lol (i know this style is nowhere near real art deco, but it is very fancy & pretty)
volunteering on track crew at the museum it was AWESOME when we got that awning built for the nice newly restored cars. The sun here so so disrespectful ;)
You look very dapper in that outfit and hat. That business car really looks... well, the business! Luxury travel for sure. One of these days I need to come visit the museum; it's just a matter of finding time and money to make the long car trip from Missouri to there.
OMG what a beautiful tour and absolutely magnificent business car, Mark. I kept stopping your video to more closely observe the many wonderful period details. The rich figured paneling is to die for. I enjoyed seeing the historic bathrooms and kitchens that were OMG. The electric lighting fixtures were another favorite. Seeing inside the electronic cabinet was totally cool! Everything about this business car and its high quality restoration brought joy-the CRRM is a truly exceptional place! Speaking of exceptional many thanks to you Sir Professor for yet another amazing 101 learning moment; YES, please Mark feature the other two business cars in future episodes. As always cheers to you and the CRRM!
I wonder, does the kitchen still work? You could troll everyone by doing an episode of K37 Kitchen in here, but it's actually just you cooking a normal dinner on a normal (if dated) railway kitchen for the gang in the dining area.
Several months ago I saw a presentation of the MassBay RRE about the Sperry railcars, which included a lot of interior photos of one of these. These have to serve some of the same functions as business cars in terms of housing them, but being all for rank-and-file workers, AND they have to be self-propelled AND host the rail detect detection equipment.
My hats (no pun intended) to you for wearing a tuxedo. I had to wear one in music college and I don’t miss it. But the point is mark, very very dapper!
What good fortune this vid is in my algorithm today, i saw CN’s business train on the end of a freight train in the wild around Oshawa a couple days ago
Some railroad depots had special sidings located at the depot called coach tracks. These were for visiting VIP’s private cars to use if they were “in town” for extended stays, my how things have changed. Speaking of passenger train equipment, you should cover the mail/baggage car at the museum.
Great presentation, Hyce! I'd vote for an in-depth tour (in costume or not) of different cars and engines. Since I live in Ohio and don't have the means to check these out in person, especially with someone as knowledgeable as you, I can enjoy this vicariously through the video until I can visit in person.
Visited a few months ago, so glad to hear you sre getting roofs for everything, it is definitely necessary. It was sad to see some of the rolling stock rotting away out back.
Blasphemy! I mean, Hyce talking and teasing narrow gauge cars and not showing them! I can get Mark not being too excited (Mark is the serious guy behind Century of Steam), but this channel is Hyce. The crazy and more fun narrow gauge enthusiast. TLDR, yes we want to see Hyce's take on the narrow gauge business car.
I know at some point you said you'd love a guitar out of wood like that, but if there was a guitar made out of wood as nice as the stuff shown inside the business car, it'd either have to be an Gibson ES-335, or a Les Paul, maybe even a Gretsch Semi Hollow
Yoo, the museum local to me has a very similar style of car! Kind of unintentionally, though. It's at the Gallipolis Railroad Museum in Ohio. It used to belong to the Ringling Brothers circus as a sleeper car for their performers. It was half-demo'd before the museum found it, so half of the car is... lets say, an open-floor plan, with holes in said floor. There are I think 3 rooms, though, that are still mostly intact. Each room had 2 beds, a stove (and oven if I recall correctly), a microwave, room for a TV, cabinets, and a full bathroom with a shower. Definitely not as high-class as that business car, but more akin to an apartment on rails. The car still had its water heater though, as well as a washer and dryer set on-board. I'd honestly love the idea of a rail-based apartment. Like, you live on the train, with everything you need, with stops every now and again in towns or cities to restock supplies and explore, only to leave again the next day. Not heading anywhere but enjoying the journey. Every look out the window is a different place.
Such a beautiful car they certainly don’t make them like this anymore. So amazing to see the old mix with the new, beautiful old mahogany wood and AC with a kitchen to boost they sure were small homes on wheels.
What a great and long-lived artifact from the heady days. Well done sir! (A perfect place to discuss collusion with mining establishments and consortiums.) The other two cars would make for a great and interesting contrast feature. (RGS B-20?).
Actually, that paneling looks like quartersawn white oak.
The museum's documentation says both, now that I've checked - I'll take your word for it! :D
The wood on the outside of the rooms, the exterior car walls, is Honduran mahogany. Either wood is high class.
@@Hyce777 i just saw a photo on FB of you in your pirate outfit trying to hijack Brett on 20
Second on oak. There's probably mahogany in there somewhere, but oak is recognisable and mahogany is way darker

Yoo, the museum local to me has a very similar style of car! Kind of unintentionally, though. It's at the Gallipolis Railroad Museum in Ohio.
It used to belong to the Ringling Brothers circus as a sleeper car for their performers. It was half-demo'd before the museum found it, so half of the car is... lets say, an open-floor plan, with holes in said floor.
There are I think 3 rooms, though, that are still mostly intact. Each room had 2 beds, a stove (and oven if I recall correctly), a microwave, room for a TV, cabinets, and a full bathroom with a shower. Definitely not as high-class as that business car, but more akin to an apartment on rails. The car still had its water heater though, as well as a washer and dryer set on-board.
I'd honestly love the idea of a rail-based apartment.
