Allegheny1600 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Pre-McGinnis, that was a fantastic railroad - I love it! Nice Utube short there, Michael. Thanks! John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2011 A very fine link indeed, thanks! I have always thought the New Haven I5 4-6-4 to be among the most successful of the streamlined designs for steam, and it is really nice to see and hear them in action for a change!

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 30, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2011 The Yankee Clipper in the film was clearly a classy operation. Beebe & Clegg's "The Trains We Rode" Vol 1 includes a 1939 pic of the train - eastbound - with a baggage car behind the loco. Evidently the conductor, one Elmer Bacon, was horrified that such a vehicle was being added to his train, probably not least because it contained a prize Hereford bull. "A hell of a way to run a railroad," was apparently his comment. Evidently money talks in all forms of transportation, and the authors assumed that a very fat fee indeed must have been involved to get livestock on the Clipper.
