If I may... 346: (gets shunted into the house) 340: (wakes up; looks over drowsily, sees 346 and jolts awake) "Oh Lord! Oh Palmer help me! It's a ghost! They've finally come to get me!" Some other engine off in another part of the house out of shot: "Good grief 340! It's just 346! Y'know, old classmate of yours? Used to work here? You do the same thing whenever another loco gets put in here for a rebuild! They're not ghosts trying to drag you to the beyond for cryin' out loud!" 340: "Oh. 346, eh? Let me get a look at 'cha..." (Looks over 346 inquisitively; 346 stares back awkwardly) "Lawdy you've looked better." 346: "Good to see you, too..." 340: "What'd they do? Drag you out of the scrap line?" 346: "No! Despite my appearance I'm actually being taken care of very well. I'm actually here for..." 340: (Interrupts) "You're not even dressed!" 346: (Taken aback) "...what?" 340: "You're not wearing your boiler jacket! What're doing out and about with your bare boiler showing? You're not decent! How can you stand to be like that? And where's your stack?" 346: (Just stares back at 340) "...aren't you here for a rebuild too?" Another engine in another part of the house: "You've gotta forgive 340. She's not really a morning person. Takes her a bit to warm up and get her head straight after she wakes up." 340: "Who's that?!" Same engine: "42!" 340: "Oh...yeah. Say, where's 41?" 42: "Already left and went home to Knott's Berry Farm." 340: "Oh yeah," (340 and 346 look at each other. Awkward silence descends.) "...so...how's it going?" 346: "I work at a museum now. Nice folks there. Even got a loop of track for me to run around when I'm in shape. I'm here for a rebuild. I presume you're here for that as well?" 340: "Yep." (Awkward silence) 346: "...so, you gonna tell me what you've been doing or..." 340: (Falls asleep again) 346: "...it's gonna be a looooong rebuild..."
This is my favorite version of the hypothetical conversation. It feels just right for locomotive banter, and from what their drivers have said, that feels about right for those two.
Working at Knott's a few years ago, I can certainly confirm locomotives have personalities! 41 and 340 definitely have opposing personalities. 41 was always reliable, and would rarely ever give you a hard time. 340 was definitely the stubborn locomotive, lot's of folks did not like firing her. Although, I will admit she was always my favorite of the 2 C19s to operate! I am excited to see the results that D&S will do on 340 (and 346)!
Cheers! I got *lots* of answers. Apparently there's a lot of folks more knowledgeable than I re: "heavy" haul that watch the channel... lol! And lots of differing answers as well. Lots of regional differences, I'd suppose!
Lol as soon as he asked I when to the comments but you already answered makes sense cause I rarely catch videos as the come out because of my trucking schedule
@Hyce777 your my favorite channel, I wanted to comment about the Lowboy! I work for local government road construction and have a few choice words for our Lowboy
Thanks for the fun video! Glad 346 got some museum time before she went into the shop. And watching Peaches' sister chugging along in the pretty scenery was awesome.. ☺️💜
I like the theory that 340 and 346 would be making sorta rude remarks like “ugh, you are still running?” But deep down appreciate the reunion and are glad they are back together. Maybe, or they were arch enemies, who’s to say
Mark I know you may not know me but you have left a big impact on many and help me through some hard times for you videos helping me when my dad had a heart attack and to me being down I love to watch your videos and I always look forward to seeing them all in all I would love to join you channel but as I am only 14 I don’t have money to do that but when your new game comes out I plan to buy it to support you and just tell you thanks
Lowboy Trailer trucking! We do this with our trolleys here in Maryland, but have to transfer it to a rollback like trailer since we don't have a paved or level area to put the trailer for loading/unloading
I saw the museum in Durango several years ago, and of all the things they had there what I remember most strongly, for some reason, wasn’t the old locomotives, not the building itself, but the 100+ year penny collection.
So cool to see the process to transport a locomotive, and kudos to the D&S for helping with the 346 restoration work and showcasing her alongside 340. Would be spectacular to see 493 and 491 reunited also, but I bet 340 and 346 are sharing some great stories of their bigger siblings!
I work opposite the Hornby factory in the UK and they are housing loads of trains in their warehouse for an exhibition. Watching them come down the industrial estate on flat beds always draws a crowd :)
Very cool. Many moons ago I was visiting my network of short/tourist lines and one shop foreman told me how they sent a diesel locomotive off during the offseason to a shop for top end work. "Couldn't you do that here?" "Sure, but that freed up resources to rebuild three coaches." Management is just that: managing your resources, on and off the property, to maximize results.
the larger locomotive moves are something truely special. ive seen pics of them moving bigboy and some other larger standard guage stuff where theyve had to upgrade to modular trailers, multiple trucks, the whole 9 special transport yards per say lol. its rare you get to see stuff like that tho (cause well its standard guage, just throw it behind a train 90% of the time) plus not alot of stuff truely warrants that treatment but its truely a spectacle when it does happen on a side note tho, thats lowkey cool af that the D&S put her on display while shes there and what not, its not every day the publics get to seem much that goes into rebuilds and what not
Hi Mark, very nice episode. I really liked seeing how such a heavy object like 346 is prepared and moved from site to site. Just amazing. 346 is such a national treasure. It’s so fabulous that the rebuild is being done at the D&SNGRR. I saw a video tour of their shop recently and it is absolutely amazing! An impressive place for sure surrounded by such natural beauty. I think if the two grandmas could discuss, they would reminisce over the good old days. Like on a porch swing bench but in this case the roundhouse is the porch and the swing bench the rails. I can hear them now: “You haven’t aged a day dearie” and lots of catchup gossip. 🤣. I also loved your connection story to 493 that’s so cool! As always Professor another beautiful 101 video and cheers to you!
I worked at a place that did trailer repair and we worked on a detachable lowboy. It had rails like this except for standard gauge because the company that owned it did MOW work and used it for moving the equipment.
0:52 - If you ask me, the best solution would be to rebuild the tracks. But that's a very European thought, I know xD 8:25 - Was it 72 years for you, too?! I knew you were a vampire! Great vid, as usual. Now get one of 'em up on a track and on a ferry, I want to see them over here 😂 It'd certainly be fun to see one of those 3ft locos on a metre gauge track. Though I wouldn't be surprised if producing and fitting temporary tires (at least I'd guess that might be enough, after all it's just some 4 cm the flange would need to be moved outwards, so hopefully you wouldn't need to move the whole wheel) would end up being the even bigger PITA than the transport as such 😅
Dear Hyce thank you so much for sharing this. I'm all the way in Singapore and yet still feel such a connection to the Colorado Railroad Museum and these great steamers. I was blessed to be able to visit last year during the Narrow Gauge Convention and taken behind the shops to actually see and touch 346. That alone made it special but now that she's down at Durango, I feel even more blessed to have been able to see her before she made that trip down. Keep doing what your doing and all the best wishes and regards from the other side of the planet in Singapore
I think the Durango & Silverton locomotives were the first steam engines that left a impression on me as a kid from those As seen on TV train videos for kids... I can't remember which one but I remember wearing out that tape...
Hey, hyce, I love watching your channel. You and Laurie's mechanical marvels have inspired me to volunteer at the mid-continet railroad museum in North Freedom wi
Truck trailer is called a "Low Boy" IIRC. We used one like it to get a burned up caboose from Marshall Pass decades ago. That caboose frame we ended up scrapping but the trucks went under the caboose which sat across the road for years.
@mr.sir. You ever see 2 loaded trailers side by side, pulled by 2 trucks side by side? Like a D11 or a haul truck, shovels or loaders getting dragged down the highway?
Id like to think 340 would see 346 getting pulled into the Round House and go "Oh my god Grandma?! Is that really you?!" seeing as they're sisters Id bet they have alot of catching up to do in those 74 years they've been apart. 346 probably will babble 340s ears off about going in circles for nearly the century theyve been apart. Cant wait to hopefully see 346 running the rails of Durango again for her after rebuild tests!
it's a dropped heavy haul long flat bed trailer. Dropped trailers are trailers that the floor of the trailer are hovering ~6-8 inches from flat level ground, Heavy haul means it has more than 2 axles to bare travel load, and long usually indicates it's more than 3 yards long. only thing missing from your trailer is if it was either a dump or lifter trailer dump being like a dump truck and lifted being the bed drops like a hydraulic lifted car. there might be more technical terms but if you use those terms to look for trailers online you'd find what your looking for PDQ.
I literally just noticed the C&S (Colorado and Southern) on the handler car that was used and how well it coincides with the CofS (Century of Steam) on the boxcars from the game's devlogs!
Gooseneck/lowboy trailer. Handler/idler cars were common in carfloat service where a locomotive going onto the ramps or the float itself would be a really bad idea unless you wanted to reenact the Titanic railroad edition.
Hi Hyce, I was wondering if you could do a video on how the narrow gauge railroads received their locomotives that were made at the locomotive factorys like Lima Baldwin and Alco. With no 3 foot gage tracks running all the east to the west, the locomotives and cars were probably shipped in a similar fashion to 346 in this video. I think it would be cool to take a look at the history of these kinds of moves and what we know about them.
The best way to move a locomotive over road was how a Canadian town did it when suffering from a black out: put it on the road and drive it down main street to the closest place they could plug it into the power grid
as far as i know that trailer slang that we would call that is a "slip back" or "wedge back step-deck" or if it loads from the front its called a "float trailer"
Sending off a piece of equipment to a museum with all of the required equipment to do the work is a pretty reasonable thing to do. In the maritime world, Mystic Seaport does a lot of work on other historic ships.
It's done quite often in britain, hertitage railways sometimes send their engines to dedicated workshops for overhauls and mainly testing on heritage railways before returning to the mainline.
Removable gooseneck low boy trailer is the long name for the trailer. It like the rolling stock it has different names from different regions and types.
I love the scale of "heavy" haul, hyce and crew are loading a bog standard low boy, meanwhile i spent the day consulting with engineers, haulage companies and city officials on getting a transformer for a large tower across downtown on a trailer with more axles than your average narrow guage consist, without crushing the subway tunnels. The heavy haul world is insane, but has nothing on the standard guage choochoo moving world (look up videos of the big cb&q engine or the tunnel motor being delivered to the CRRM for the real insanity
340 was like "you look like a disabled person from a senior home, and now I have to pull you around to fix you up" 346 was like "ya but I was on a truck, and I got to see 20 be scared from mark playing smells like kenosha, and soon I will be fixed better than you from the factory." they would talk smack because they think that there the best version.
Yeah though that has been mainly around the big standard gauge engines. Still quite good and the way they have been moved hasn't changed much since recovery from the scrap yard. Does show how small of spaces these big engines get crammed into.
340 and 346 the conversation was "340 hi sis what you bin doing all of this time" 346i' I have been running around in circles how about you ?" 340 "ya I have been doing the same thing :!
346 return to Durango. Covers the Denver and rio grande western 2-8-0 no 346. Along with this you will receive 2 separate break in runs and the first public run ….
10:29, is that a CB&Q 5-chime? It sounds lower and less raspy than a D&RGW 5-chime. Beautiful sounding whistle. Initially thought it was a 6-chime. Side note: what if you got the D&SNGRR or the T&CSRR to run an excursion with the Huber 6-chime? I think that would be a real treat.
I have a question as well. How rare are reading railroad cabooses. I know where six of them and the steam locomotive are that is most likely going to end up in scrap if i can't get the historical society interested in them.
A while ago I was on Facebook Marketplace, and I found someone selling an entire 3ft gauge train car frame, complete with trucks, couplers, (I think) brakes, literally everything but the body. 1st off, why do you have that, 2nd, how did you get that, and 3rd, WHAT?
Is it possible to paint D&RGW 346 in Bumblebee Paint job as a change in paint job as it a nice change of color Mr Hyce, and given some of the C-19 steam locomotives and other classes of steam locomotives on D&RGW had that paint job and it would look very nice so it is possible for it to happen Mr Hyce.
268, and 473 were the only ones to wear that paint in service. 345 and 319 wore it for a movie in which they were blown up. 346 will be restored to an accurate period of her railroad service, so no.
@@Hyce777 Just a idea I had Mr Hyce, and because it would be interesting to see that paint job these days and outside of movies, photoes and model trains and someone being around at that time no has seen that paint job in years and would be nice to see again Mr Hyce.
Want to know more about 346? Watch the Colorado Railroad Museum's Big Train Tour on the locomotive: ruclips.net/video/XaIHXJmE-is/видео.htmlsi=ZrChTemQQ92IAGyy
So much history there. The Rio Grande had a mixture of 3' narrow gauge and standard gauge. A lot of the lines got converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge over the years. Those that weren't got removed. I want to make a video about all of it sometime but it's daunting.
OH I MEANT DURANGO BUT I GUESS IT'S CUZ YOU SAID IT WAS SITTING IN SILVERTON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE AT LEAST THERE ARE SOME DECENT MILEAGE BETWEEN THEM AND I CAN'T SAY THERE'S ANY REAL MILEAGE AT THE RAILROAD MUSEUM IN GOLDEN COLORADO THE AMOUNT OF TRACKAGE THERE IS A JOKE 🤣
I say, where was all the work such as this done before Durango became the go-to hub for these operations? Or was Durango always a place where everything you needed was in-house there? WAIT A MINUTE, RGS 41 and 42 were both C-19s also right? (Edit: no, 42 is a 'C-17'..?) Soo from what I'm gathering 493 and 491 are... kind hard working sisters with 491 being just a smidge... less sane 346 is a kind old grandma 340 is the one grumpy old grandpa who couldn't care less 41 is... hard worker, likes petty little jokes
340 & 346: YOU! I picture them being all "I'm so happy to see you!" and then once the humans are gone being all "I remember why I never liked you that much.... but I still love you for some reason."
@@kbfbest I guess it depends on how much attention they pay to human conversation, otherwise, yeah, I could see Grandma being REALLY confused to see her sister again.
That would be a lowboy trailer I believe a very interesting trailer but very common for transporting larger vehicles such as excavators or bulldozers and such.
or lowbed... both terms are used Though often giant modular transports with like more wheels than baldwin's centepede are used for moving standard gauge engines, unless it's a ruston then it's just craned onto a regular flatbed.
She's just been moved into the new contract work shop! By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you Mark!
Oh wow! That wrapped up quick. That's exciting! Great to meet you as well. :)
@@Hyce777 They moved fast getting the shop done. All we were waiting on was a bit of electrical work.
Can you imagine if they put 42, 340, and the 346 all in the roundhouse sticking out of their stalls together and take a photo? Can you imagine ?!? 😂
I want to see that now
I was sad they didn't do that when I was there, lol, but saw the pics from Scotty! Super cool.
They actually did last week.

I love the scale of "heavy" haul, hyce and crew are loading a bog standard low boy, meanwhile i spent the day consulting with engineers, haulage companies and city officials on getting a transformer for a large tower across downtown on a trailer with more axles than your average narrow guage consist, without crushing the subway tunnels. The heavy haul world is insane, but has nothing on the standard guage choochoo moving world (look up videos of the big cb&q engine or the tunnel motor being delivered to the CRRM for the real insanity
340 was like
"you look like a disabled person from a senior home, and now I have to pull you around to fix you up"
346 was like
"ya but I was on a truck, and I got to see 20 be scared from mark playing smells like kenosha, and soon I will be fixed better than you from the factory."
they would talk smack because they think that there the best version.
There’s a whole TV series dedicated to this in the UK (Train Truckers)
Yeah though that has been mainly around the big standard gauge engines.
Still quite good and the way they have been moved hasn't changed much since recovery from the scrap yard.
Does show how small of spaces these big engines get crammed into.
The 18-wheeler trailer is a gooseneck flatbed trailer
Cool beans. Very nice 🦜❤️🚂🚂🚂
ive also seen those type of trailers for MOFW equipment
That kinda trailer is called a lowboy
If it ain’t too much to ask could the next episode of railroads 101 be on marker lights?
340 and 346 the conversation was "340 hi sis what you bin doing all of this time" 346i' I have been running around in circles how about you ?" 340 "ya I have been doing the same thing :!
Lowboy also called a RGN (removable gooseneck)
346 return to Durango. Covers the Denver and rio grande western 2-8-0 no 346. Along with this you will receive 2 separate break in runs and the first public run ….
10:16: Why is there so much water falling down on the side of the loco? It seems to be a water exhaust or output of some sort but why so much water?
Is this what Knott's berry farm does with their C-19s? Because #41 Came back from Colorado in November I think.
Yup!
10:29, is that a CB&Q 5-chime? It sounds lower and less raspy than a D&RGW 5-chime. Beautiful sounding whistle. Initially thought it was a 6-chime.
Side note: what if you got the D&SNGRR or the T&CSRR to run an excursion with the Huber 6-chime? I think that would be a real treat.
It's a big 3 chime. I think someone in the shop made it. A Q 5 sounds very similar to a D&RGW 5.
That would be cool!
5:30 5:39 Your delivery package is arrived lol.
Looks like the trailer used is a lowboy with rail attached to the deck
Nice.
Now im wondering how does one move 491 by road..
Now that you mention your compact switcher being too heavy for the ramp to the trailer, what do you do when you have to get THAT thing serviced?
That's when the cranes get involved. They're quite expensive to hire though so not worth it for the lighter stuff.
That would be a RGN (removable gooseneck) trailer
Trucker here, that's a rgn removable goose neck
Do you have the information on if 346 is going to be green after the rebuild? Because THEY WERE GREEN!!
It’s called a detached lowboy. Looked like a 50 ton one
When did Hyce rotate his profile picture slightly?
Edit: He rotated it back to normal
I have a question as well. How rare are reading railroad cabooses. I know where six of them and the steam locomotive are that is most likely going to end up in scrap if i can't get the historical society interested in them.
A while ago I was on Facebook Marketplace, and I found someone selling an entire 3ft gauge train car frame, complete with trucks, couplers, (I think) brakes, literally everything but the body. 1st off, why do you have that, 2nd, how did you get that, and 3rd, WHAT?
Is it possible to paint D&RGW 346 in Bumblebee Paint job as a change in paint job as it a nice change of color Mr Hyce, and given some of the C-19 steam locomotives and other classes of steam locomotives on D&RGW had that paint job and it would look very nice so it is possible for it to happen Mr Hyce.
268, and 473 were the only ones to wear that paint in service. 345 and 319 wore it for a movie in which they were blown up. 346 will be restored to an accurate period of her railroad service, so no.
@@Hyce777 Just a idea I had Mr Hyce, and because it would be interesting to see that paint job these days and outside of movies, photoes and model trains and someone being around at that time no has seen that paint job in years and would be nice to see again Mr Hyce.
Want to know more about 346? Watch the Colorado Railroad Museum's Big Train Tour on the locomotive: ruclips.net/video/XaIHXJmE-is/видео.htmlsi=ZrChTemQQ92IAGyy
It's called a goose deck trailer.
I have a question. Does 493 work hard enough to activate her superheater on the Durango in Silverton?
Absolutely.
that trailer is called a lowboy
Can you please do a video on that mini switcher added to derail vaily....
OOOOH, a new Hyce 101!!!!
(and somehow I luck out to be the first to view!? cool)
If I had to guess a Lowboy trailer and a powerful truck …
I have always wondered dose rgs42 run I have only seen pictures of it in the museum
You've answered your own question... haha. It hasn't run since the 1950's.
So whats the deal with RGS 42, I know she's a C-17 but the differences are very minor so would it be possible to restore her along side the two C-19s?
RGN or Removable Goose Neck trailer
i doubt you could make too many videos about the guage,
why doesn’t it match?
when and where was it changed?
So much history there. The Rio Grande had a mixture of 3' narrow gauge and standard gauge. A lot of the lines got converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge over the years. Those that weren't got removed. I want to make a video about all of it sometime but it's daunting.
@@Hyce777 just do one piece at a time,
I think that's easier for viewers anyways...
then you can save tangents for separate videos
Do you have pictures of 20 on a truck when it went to cumbres toltec?
Lowboy or low bed trailer
OH I MEANT DURANGO BUT I GUESS IT'S CUZ YOU SAID IT WAS SITTING IN SILVERTON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE AT LEAST THERE ARE SOME DECENT MILEAGE BETWEEN THEM AND I CAN'T SAY THERE'S ANY REAL MILEAGE AT THE RAILROAD MUSEUM IN GOLDEN COLORADO THE AMOUNT OF TRACKAGE THERE IS A JOKE 🤣
That’s a tractor trailer
I say, where was all the work such as this done before Durango became the go-to hub for these operations? Or was Durango always a place where everything you needed was in-house there?
WAIT A MINUTE, RGS 41 and 42 were both C-19s also right?
(Edit: no, 42 is a 'C-17'..?)
Soo from what I'm gathering
493 and 491 are... kind hard working sisters with 491 being just a smidge... less sane
346 is a kind old grandma
340 is the one grumpy old grandpa who couldn't care less
41 is... hard worker, likes petty little jokes
Lowboy
Low bed. It's called a low bed.
340 & 346: YOU!
I picture them being all "I'm so happy to see you!" and then once the humans are gone being all "I remember why I never liked you that much.... but I still love you for some reason."
the fact that 318 showed up with 340s tender to the CRRM 346 most likely went "wait how are you still around."
@@kbfbest I guess it depends on how much attention they pay to human conversation, otherwise, yeah, I could see Grandma being REALLY confused to see her sister again.
In my mind they'd start off so happy to see each other but in like 5 minutes time one would yell to the other "FUCK YOU I WISH YOU WERE SCRAPPED!"
I picture it as the Spiderman pointing at another Spiderman meme
That would be a lowboy trailer I believe a very interesting trailer but very common for transporting larger vehicles such as excavators or bulldozers and such.
I was about to make the same comment. I saw one on the highway literally this week hauling several CAL FIRE dozers.
while it is a lowboy more specifically its a RGN (Removable Goose Neck) Lowboy but thats getting into technicalities
or lowbed... both terms are used Though often giant modular transports with like more wheels than baldwin's centepede are used for moving standard gauge engines, unless it's a ruston then it's just craned onto a regular flatbed.
Not even that much of a heavy haul setup. Some custom heavy haul trailers end up with 15 plus axles.
I swear D&S is becoming the Strasberg of the Narrow gauge world 😂 and it’s it only me or does it look like 493’s cab is at a angle
Because it is. It's a cannon event bro.
That's just the track I think?
It is, she's had a goofy kinked floorboard support for the cab putting it at a slight angle for years.
To be fair, Strasburg has done and does do Narrow Gauge (most notably Walt Disney World!)
Well, ain't I got something to tell you
*340* What the heel I thought you rolled off the mountain!!, and God you reek
*346* yeah I did, oh and that smell is Kenosha
"Did you die?"
"Sadly, yes. But I lived!"
i'd like to imagine 340 & 346 did the pointing Spiderman meme
