Locomotive
The LSRM Youth team visit the huge #227 inside the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, in Duluth, Minnesota.
This Yellowstone class steam engine is the largest steam engine on display at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and is part of the class of locomotives that were the largest and heaviest that were ever built.
#227 was capable of hauling 180-190 ore cars loaded with iron ore from the mines in northern Minnesota.

Love his presentation
outstanding job !!!!!!
This kid has a BRIGHT future. Can you say docent? 👍👍
Solid presentation. Thank you.
Very impressive example of an articulated steam locomotive, I am very satisfied that the DM&IR preserved locomotive 227 along with it's fellow brother locomotives 225 and 229 within the state of Minnesota. I would really like to travel to Minnesota for myself in the future to visit this railroad museum and see locomotive 227 in person, the DM&IR Yellowstone type locomotives are among some of my top 10 personal favorite types of articulated steam power.
The famous Southern Pacific cab-forwards are "reverse Yellowstones", essentially a 4-8-8-2.
Nice job! 👍
Nice video!!
Great job Young Man and greetings from Australia. Love to visit the museum sometime.
Great Video😊
Miles Heritage is amazing i think about Big Black Steam Locomotives everyday i cannot stop dreaming about them theirs something about them that is just amazing
Very nice video! Well done hosting, Miles Pham! I would love to see one of three preserved Yellowstones restored to Operating condition since Big Boy 4014 was restored, but it's very unlikely, but however I have a Greg Scholl DVD about Yellowstones, so I can experience seeing them run even in the vintage footage.
Wow Miles! Amazing work and I sure learned a ton!
Watching from Australia. Planning to fly to America just to see this locomotive because of this video!!!

As an American, I support your decision. I've seen visited this Missabe Monster a few times before and I highly recommend it!

If you do, make the drive north to Two Harbors just north of Duluth. There is another of these (#229) on static display at the Two Harbors Depot Museum.
Totally awesome - loved it!
Well done! You can see how much he enjoys trains in his eyes! He knows his stuff!😊👏👏👏
Excellent job Miles. You can tell you have passion for trains.
Awesome info buddy I enjoyed that
Fantastic presentation Miles. I look forward to more informative videos.
Great video of DM&IR 227. It’s great to see DM&IR 227 preserved along with 225 and 229. While four of their other siblings were scrapped after they were unable to be preserved. Those were 221, 222, 224, and 236. Here’s how I would imagine if all four were preserved to this day. DM&IR 221: Could’ve been displayed at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum located in Calera, Shelby County, Alabama. DM&IR 222: Could’ve been displayed at the Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. DM&IR 224: Could’ve been in operation to this day. DM&IR 236: Could’ve been displayed at Wales, Wisconsin.
Excellent job young man! The world needs more like you.
Miles, you did an incredible job with this video. As a master student of History that grew up in and around this wonderful collection of locomotives, You presented the information with passion and care. Welcome aboard the field of history.
miles is a great kid I know him IRL I'm a good friend of him and he did an outstanding job keep up the great work Sincerely Parker
Miles, great job, you are a wonderful example of youth becoming the next generation of leaders and displaying a vision of the future and a heart to volunteer. Hats off to you!
I envy this kid. If I wasn't the shy kid growing up, I'd love to host videos like these, mimicking Jeff from the I Love Toy Trains video series. You did a great job introducing the Missabe Monster, Miles!

Thanks, Miles. You did a good job on the video. I would like to visit the museum and see this locomotive.
Did steam engines ever use oil to heat the steam

Yes! One example of a modern day oil conversion is the Big Boy #4014 as seen in the video.
I wonder if 227 will get a full mechanical restoration to running condition cause with UP 4014 and C&O 1309 in operation with the eventual return of UP 3985 it would of been nice for a massive iron giant like a Yellowstone to be running. Think of the possibility of railfan flocking to the museum to ride 227.

It will not. We do not have enough track to run it, and it is fine where it is now, with wheels turning. Fun idea, but we would likely never do such.
Great job! Thank you 😊
Awesome job❤
GREAT JOB MILES! #227 is a locomotive or steam engine, not a “train”
How many gallons of water does it hold?
