When I was a kid (60's) my parents took me out west. One of our stops was this place. There were two rows of old locomotives and rolling stock including several cabooses. I crawled all over them, and took pictures. They're buried in boxes, but the memories are still intact. I loved the cabooses and the high perch they offered.
Brad Taylor all that was moved to heber Utah in about 1970. Part of the heber creeper. We have a show up on that. The old buildings are still there but the locomotives all ended up all over. One is in Boulder Nevada. We have 2 shows on that. One went up at Christmas on taking Dan Markoff’s locomotive from Las Vegas out to boulder. The locomotive there labeled from heber is one of the ones you screwed around on.
A bunch of Golden Spike shows going up before May. My favorite so far is on the 10 miles of track laid in one day sign. We stumbled onto a great story. Talked to the historian at Promontory this morning and compared notes. We have really hit a home run uncovering some amazing lost history. And it was a little bird that told us. Really! A woodpecker!
My wife and I happened to be in Thatcher on Sunday, September 17th, and drove our 18 wheeler out to Promontory Summit. Jupiter and 119 were under steam and looked gorgeous. We’re from Stearns, Kentucky, home of the Big South Fork Scenic Railway.
Amazing place right? Love those locomotives. Rumor has it that they are building a third and cars. To move people from distant parking to the site. Wow. Hope that’s true
The Train Museum in Sacramento Ca has one of the Golden Spikes on display with signatures engraved on it. They have a whole explanation of how it was found and how they got it. Very nice to see
Of the 4, 3 survive. The "Real" one, and main one made first by Stanford, is on display at Stanford University. They do send it out to shows. (with a guard!) The Stanford loco here in the museum was on display with it at Stanford for years but it was moved here when they built the "new" building The Nevada spike is (I think) in Carson City. The california spike is I think the one there. Exactly like the Stanford spike made by the same people.
Great video! It is one of the better ones done of the site. I'm one of the staff engine crew members and I remember seeing you there that day. You can see me throwing the switch towards the beginning when Jupiter leaves the yard.
I like Central Pacific No. 60 “Jupiter” and Union Pacific No. 119, the originals were apart of the transcontinental railroad, and now we have the golden spike national historic site for these two replicas.
I just stumbled across this video and discovered I'm in it. From 4:20 to 4:29, I'm one of the photographers taking pictures. Great video. It was fun seeing the engines behind the scenes.
Good steady camera work, smooth pans, nice composition. Definitely a cut above much of the video shot for You Tube. My brother was working in the area last week and went there, that's what "spiked" my curiosity.
*O'Connor Engineering did an outstanding job* of re-creating two locomotives the original construction drawings of which are lost to history. Both the Schenectady (NY, USA) Locomotive Works, builder of many of the Central Pacific's early heavy 4-4-0's, and the Rogers Machine Works (Paterson, NJ, USA), builder of several entire classes of 4-4-0's for the Union Pacific and other roads, were eventually absorbed into American Locomotive Company; by that time, the War Between the States-era technology had been replaced in production by much larger steel boilers for 4-4-0's twice as heavy as both CPRR 60 and UPRR 119. In the case of the re-creations of Central Pacific RxR #60 and Union Pacific RxR #119, the boiler design, executed for O'Connor by the Dixie Boiler Works in California (USA), has been re-scaled for the re-creation of the 2-6-0 Union Iron Works (San Francisco, CA, USA) SerNo 11, an H. J. Booth design executed for the Virginia & Truckee River RxR when under construction in the 1860's and eventually road number 1 "Lyon." Only all three are far more reliable than the originals, particularly Union Iron Works SerNo 11, which was the subject of many complaints among V&TRR management for breakage four times the rate of the 2-6-0 Baldwins that followed Union Iron Works SerNos. 11 and 12, both ported from a successful 3'-0" 0-6-0 used on the Nortonville (CA, USA) Railroad, and SerNo 13, a new Booth design for the V&TRR's actual loadouts that could take several Baldwin replacement parts as upgrades.
@@ToyManTelevision I wish this train was reserviced and riding the rails across America again what a sight giving tours through out the rockys and Appalachian mountains all over the country the price would be between 20$ to 30$ bucks a person children 10 $ elderly 40% off what do you think
Thanks for reminding me where it is. I live in North Salt lake so I need to remember to go look at it. I found this because I was looking at Train Sim World's new video and then youtube.com brought your video up after that one. I clicked on subscribe so I can see your other stuff.
Anything can be done... but oh the cost!!! Today it costs about 2 to 3 million to build a small loco like this. Just the rebuild on 4014 is costing over 3 million. Just to rebuild a Big Boy. So to totally build one.....
Hello Mr. You Man. Thank you for making this video. I found it to be very informative and entertaining! This video had came up in my recommended list because of a video that you had made on the Uintah Railway. I live in Vernal UT and I have travelled up to the old ghost towns of Watson, Raindow etc. and over Baxter Pass down to Atchee and Loma many times, and each time I drive through there I still get goose bumps because of the historical significance of the old railway. I'm positive that if it weren't for the Uintah Railway the mining of the Gilsonite mine may have been delayed for some time, and history would have been written much differently, if at all. Once again, thank you for your contribution and knowledge to the preservation of our great steam railroad history.
Thanks!! We sure have fun getting out and making these. Karyn and I really just wander around with cell phones and shoot video of fun stuff. And I love editing it into shows. Been editing fer 50 years and still love it.
American locomotives fascinate me. Their flared chimny's, bright colours, big driving wheels and distinctive cylinders. Most Locomotives here in the UK have their wheels allot more concealed under the frames, with singular colour liveries based on their company origins. I will definately look them up to learn more about them!
+The Nightmare Rider i like the older American locomotives the best. My absolute favorite are the trains of the Walt Disney World Railroad. When i eventually move out to California, I'm defiantly getting an engine just like that, and having the tracks run around the property because damn, nothing spells america like a stream train, and an Iowa class battleship, but i can't out that in my yard.And if you haven't found out by now, the flared stacks are for wood burning trains. At least, i think. I don't know what they do, but I'm 90% sure they're for wood burning trains.
+Joe295398 Love to do that too. 1?:20.2 scale is the best I can do.BUt I have 5 early engines. 2 4-4-0, 2 2-6-0 and a 2-8-0. Want a 4-6-0. All 1870 era.
+Toy Man Television Well, hmm. If I ever have the money, i want to go full scale. I actually want to do what they did to get the Walt Disney World Railroad trains. Buy them used. But the thing is, i live in New Jersey. I plan on restoring it here, and running it out to California, if its possible. Now getting it from the mainline to the house would require it to be trucked. I don't even know if that possible but i defiantly want to try. But the property will have to be huge, but i want a full scale locomotive. I want a 4-6-0, or a 2-6-0, wood burning. And, i want my house to sit on the back of the property, almost not visible from the street and if anyone comes by, ill have the train all ready to go, run it out there, pick them up, and bring it back LOL. I have big plans for my future. Now, i must say, I'm fairly new to model railroading, i don't know too much about it. But when i was a kid, my grandfather had a small table with HO scale trains. Now unfortunate, i was not able to keep all of them,but i still have a few, and some track to have a loop, but i have nowhere to set it up. So i kinda know of it, but i would know more if i was able to have a dedicated train room.
Sounds like me for the last 15 years. BUT finally building a railroad!!! Still on the darn building! I want to build benchwork!! Nad lay track!! In the 1:1 scale, have you see the vid here on Rob Rossi'S ranch railroad? WOW. And the pictures are 4 years old. I understand he now has 4 steam engines! And more cars too. His plan was to make this a railroad at the vineyard but as it's one of the oldest missions in Cal. (1750) the state has been blocking that. BUT I understand he is now going forward with that. Wine and trains. Hum..... What could go wrong?
+Toy Man Television Nice!! Wow i can't wait to see the videos once you're done. You might have to expand what a bench network, and and lay track is(cause I'm new to this), but yes, and i just re-watched that video. Thats literally what i want. But on a bigger scale. 4 steam engines tho, wow. Some people have expensive cars, other people have yachts, what he has? A full scale steam train XD Nothing can beat a full scale, working steam locomotive. Now i take it the train would go straight through the center of the vineyard too eh? He should do something like disney does, and have a narration, and the history of the place so you learn something hue on the train! That would be so cool. But nothing could go wrong...as long as you keep it from the engineers :D
They run every day in the summer. But the best reenactment is May 10 every year. Next year 2019 is the biggest one ever planned for the 150th anniversary. Big Boy may be there!!
I am thankful that the locomotives have been preserved and are in operating condition! It is a bit sad that they can only go in circles, and the once profound junction has been cut off from commerce.
So they didn't know what colors the engines were? Is that why I'm struggling to find information on early American railway liveries? They didn't have them?
great video and great Channel and great piece of History I hit the like button on the video and the number of likes changed to number 119 I got a screen capture of that that is verycool
+Jimmy Walker These locos are amazing. AND there are sever people getting their own personal steam locos built! Three finished that I know of with more being built. WOW
We love the Jupiter as well what a beautiful locomotive. I just hope that this festive time of year nobody pulls in front of it with a Saturn or we may have a confluence.
Toy man I grew up driving those trains in Michigan I would love to drive them again u guys let us drive the hell outta them then we had a accident or to so u all made us park them but it was for the good we was just little kids driving big old trains u no how many kids would love to do that I no I loved it very much and I loved helping out made me feel good about myself to help others that's what I enjoy doing helping people any way I can
Swift's PEN hi. I use smartsound. I buy recordings that have been cut into bars and often the original multiple tracks. The price includes RUclips rights. Anyway I can rearrange the music moving parts around, take out instruments, remix and rework it. Really fun! Turns out great (I think).
they have been planning that for decades. BIG plan is to lay track back to Corine and take people to the site by rail.Remove all the parking so it's more historic.
Yes and no. The Jupiter is a wood burner. NOW both locomotives burned used motor oil from Hill Air Force Base when they were built. But were converted to their "original" fuels about 15 years ago. Coal for the 119. Wood in the CP loco..
+Mr goat the reason being there are two sets of tracks are because its where the 119 goes then reverses back then they switch it to where the 119 is head to head with the Jupiter that's why there are two sets of track.
One can imagine Durant, Dodge, etc., looking on... Went there several times, lately to Piedmont WY., where Durant had to pay workers, with emergency funds...Grenville Dodge thought Durant set up the whole "hijack" to bilk more money. Thanks.
@@ToyManTelevision yes, Thomas was quite a character. We were in Echo City, and saw Durant's photo at a corner sign...took a picture next to it! And, General Casement was in San Jose, when the 1906 quake hit...he was buried under the Vendome Hotel and broke some ribs. According to the story, his health never recovered and he passed 3 years later. His wife's letters, and vice versa', are interesting, and poignant to read. We did not make it to Dale creek area, due to fires. We hope to drive the Promontory/Lucin right of way soon. Thanks. PS...received a book today, "The Railroaders", Time/Life book from '73. There is a photo of Anna, Theodore Judah's wife!...According to Ambrose in his 2000 book of this subject, there are non known photos of her!. So, an interesting connection, and correction of a well known passed author's narrative. Thanks.
Just the "original" mechanical ones. No air brakes. They were added to the locos about 20 later, so these were built as they were at the driving of the spike.
That’s great history. That flag was on the train. When they ran it up the telegraph pole someone said that’s not right!!! But it was all they had so that’s what they used. Anyway they have recreated that flag for the event.
@@ToyManTelevision No, no, no. I mean the recording of Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa in the video. This versions of the march is not like the original and I wanted to make not of it.... I mean no disrespect to the American flag or AmericanHistory. In fact, I think it's amazing they still used the real flag from 1869.
Yup. Flag is right!! And wrong as well. Old flag but it’s all they had on the day. So they used an older flag with fewer stars. So for the re-enactment that’s what they use! Cool right?
And btw... I want to thank you for this great video... I was teaching my daughter about The Spike as part of her school lesson on Utah... this was a great supplement for her to get a basic lesson about it!
Yup. They were both oil fired for years. But the original locomotives were wood and coal. So a few years ago they converted them to the original fuel. Thanks 🙏

Great video....
I like your videos dude Zaddock
Glad you like them!

So they didn't know what colors the engines were? Is that why I'm struggling to find information on early American railway liveries? They didn't have them?
They have notes with color names. But the exact shade is tricky. In this case they know this shade of blue, but exact match is tricky.
great video and great Channel and great piece of History I hit the like button on the video and the number of likes changed to number 119 I got a screen capture of that that is verycool
Wonder who got 60??? COOL!!
Don't know but it would be cool to find out I will try to send you a picture of the screen capture
FUN!!
Mothers are way more important than a railroad
I am actually part Irish so I've always been a fan of the UP because it was built by immigrants from my relatives' country
Good looking steam locomotives great what you can do with wood and plastic and a steam generator also a electric motor

Sir May i ask what music do you use in your video?
Swift's PEN hi. I use smartsound. I buy recordings that have been cut into bars and often the original multiple tracks. The price includes RUclips rights. Anyway I can rearrange the music moving parts around, take out instruments, remix and rework it. Really fun! Turns out great (I think).
Sir can you send the music to me?
Or you can just release it on your channel
Swift's PEN hi again! I can use it but not distribute it. I’ve thought about putting up music only shows, but I’m not sure if im allowed-to do that.
@@ToyManTelevision you can send it in email right
Cool video. I subbed.
+CSX Productions Back at you!! Fun stuff!!
Do they let tourists ride the trains for excursion routes/rides or just the employees?
No rides. I bagged one once. But had to give my soul to get it and as I only had the one I can’t ride again I guess.
I take that is a answer for no?
Sir think they can build them thair historic passenger cars and the baggage car
they have been planning that for decades. BIG plan is to lay track back to Corine and take people to the site by rail.Remove all the parking so it's more historic.
You should go to this is the place utah for a historical documentary
do those burn wood like the originals?
Yes and no. The Jupiter is a wood burner. NOW both locomotives burned used motor oil from Hill Air Force Base when they were built. But were converted to their "original" fuels about 15 years ago. Coal for the 119. Wood in the CP loco..
ha ha toy man how you doin ? ive been just sitting here within your vids for the past 3 hours:)

And, General Casement was in San Jose, when the 1906 quake hit...he was buried under the Vendome Hotel and broke some ribs. According to the story, his health never recovered and he passed 3 years later. His wife's letters, and vice versa', are interesting, and poignant to read. We did not make it to Dale creek area, due to fires. We hope to drive the Promontory/Lucin right of way soon. Thanks. PS...received a book today, "The Railroaders", Time/Life book from '73. There is a photo of Anna, Theodore Judah's wife!...According to Ambrose in his 2000 book of this subject, there are non known photos of her!. So, an interesting connection, and correction of a well known passed author's narrative. Thanks.
Even though these ARE replicas, they're still real steam locos right,
Do they have brake
Just the "original" mechanical ones. No air brakes. They were added to the locos about 20 later, so these were built as they were at the driving of the spike.
Toy Man Television Actually they do have air brakes.

Cool!!
These paint jobs sure look better than UP's disgusting armour yellow!
I like it all. Armor yellow reminds me of my childhood, and first love of trains.

That's an odd arrangement of Stars and Stripes.... other than that great video!
That’s great history. That flag was on the train. When they ran it up the telegraph pole someone said that’s not right!!! But it was all they had so that’s what they used. Anyway they have recreated that flag for the event.
@@ToyManTelevision
No, no, no. I mean the recording of Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa in the video. This versions of the march is not like the original and I wanted to make not of it.... I mean no disrespect to the American flag or AmericanHistory. In fact, I think it's amazing they still used the real flag from 1869.

THANKS!!!! That's great!
.........ummmm -- during the ceremony >> Stars and Stripes Forever
Yup. Flag is right!! And wrong as well. Old flag but it’s all they had on the day. So they used an older flag with fewer stars. So for the re-enactment that’s what they use! Cool right?
If they are forever they were already and will always be... maybe we just didn’t know them yet... either way they are a grand old flag...
And btw... I want to thank you for this great video... I was teaching my daughter about The Spike as part of her school lesson on Utah... this was a great supplement for her to get a basic lesson about it!
one's a coal burner the other is a wood burner .
Yup. They were both oil fired for years. But the original locomotives were wood and coal. So a few years ago they converted them to the original fuel. Thanks 🙏
CHINA,,,, does that mean we should surrender
