Train Master 26

Rivaled only by The New York Central, The Pennsylvania Railroad was the finest in rail transportation in America. Art Deco inspired Streamliners pulled almost every train from The Broadway Limited, to The Federal Express. The GG1, K4s, T1s, S1s, E9s, and Atlantic types all played a key role in the golden age of railroading.

This museum has one of the largest collections of railroad equipment that I've seen in one building. Ranging from 19th century steam locomotives, to more modern electrics, the variety is definitely something to look forward to. The staff as usual were all really nice. I give this museum a 5/5.

The 1920's and 30's are considered by many to be the Golden Age of railroads in America. From Art Deco streamliners to the incredible travel times, it was truly the last hurrah for the railroads. The GG1, F-7, Hudson's, and Streamliners were particular icons of this era. Going into the late 50's, plane and car travel had become the preferred travel method, and luxury passenger trains faded away into history.

Join me next time when I discuss the GG1! This video was made in 2020, the quality of it does not reflect my current standards. However, as it is the first episode, It would be wrong to not post it.

We're back at another train museum! This time it's the Willaford Railroad Museum in Plant City Florida. This museum is semi-famous for its train viewing platform at a railroad diamond. All day several Amtrak, CSX, and other trains roll through which makes it a hotspot for rail enthusiasts. This museum doesn't have a large amount of rolling stock, but its most notable piece of railroad equipment is an Atlantic Coastline switcher number 508. There is mainly railroad memorabilia and tools inside the museum, but the biggest item is an HO scale train set that replicates the town of Plant City. The museum is free to enter and is very well kept. I give it a rating of 4/5. Official Description: The Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum is located in the Historic Train Depot in Downtown Plant City. The Train Viewing Platform, located adjacent to the museum, is open seven days a week. It is well lit for great train viewing in the evenings. Address: 102 N Palmer St, Plant City, FL 33563 For more information call the museum: (813) 719-6989 The Museum's Website: https://willafordrailroadmuseum.com #RailroadMuseum

The 1940's and 50's marked the end of steam on most class 1 railroads. With the onset of diesels which were cheaper and easier to operate, steam was slowly being phased out. However, some would argue that this era is when steam locomotives peaked in performance. With more freight needing to be shipped than ever before, steam traction had to be put to its limit to keep up, with some of the most powerful engines ever built made during this time. Big Boy, Challengers, Cab Forwards, The GS Class, and the 9000 class were just a few of the many mighty engines that once ruled the rails and have since faded into history.

The 1980's and 90's saw the resurgence of railroads with The Staggers Rail Act heavily deregulating railroads and allowing them to become more profitable. This era saw the rise in rail giants like Burlington Northern, Union Pacific, CSX, Amtrak, and more. This was also when Steam Excursions started to become popular and several notable engines made trips around the country. By the early 2000's the railroads had finally regained their position and still see high profits to this day.
