Its nice to see some of the original Disneyland cars survived instead of being scrapped.

Ward Kimball begged Eisner not to sell those Disneyland cars.

IIRC the 2-6-2 loco came from Pat Hall's collection at Carowinds Park on the NC/SC state line near Charlotte. I was the engineer for one season 1974. The loco is rebuilt from a 2-6-2T plantation loco and is now almost 150 years old.

Awesome video!! I love the sound of screwing around with trains!

Did y'all know that Santa fe railroad helped and teamed up with Disneyland to create the trains at Disneyland and that's why you also see the Santa fe railroad name on Disney land passenger cars

Hi. Disney worked for them for like a year as a young man. Don’t think they added any labor but did pay for building the locomotives. All of witch were named after Santa Fe presidents.

This guy has apparently accomplished a dream I've had since I was very young: to own and operate a 1:1 scale "train set", complete with Victorian era steam locomotives and passenger cars! Consider me jealous (but also inspired).

No. 2 was built for Lehigh Stone quarry in 1923. It was rebuilt in Port Clinton, Ohio and tested at Cedar Point. It was later used in the TV show Dr. Quinn Medicine Women. A sister loco is in service at Cedar Point. No. 3 was built 1897 for the Baker and LePine plantation and later say service at Carowinds after a rebuild by Crown. No. 1 was built in 1968 for Astroworld.

I believe I have just found the holy grail of a railfans retirement package, and the envy of practically all rail fans world wide. I may have a slight bit of envy but but I applaud the guy for having the funds to restore, upkeep these pieces of history.

@@ToyManTelevision did you know when the 610 limited steam train from six flags astroworld was getting replaced by a diesel and diesel hydraulic, The people who maintained #1 begged profusely for it to stay because they didn't want to see it go and the other steam engine #2 was sold for scrap! It's no wonder that steam engines big or small all have interesting stories about them :)

KlunkerRider Rob is doing a cool thing there!! Rob has made a fortune (or two) on Santa Barbara real estate. He bought that ranch to build a vineyard, which the state will not allow him to do, as yet, because it was a native village and then a Spain mission in about 1760 or so. But I think he has solved that and in planting vines at last. He also wanted to build a 3 foot steam railroad from the Ventura County fairgrounds to a movie studio we worked at at the time, (Rob owned the real estate) and that's how I met him. Anyway, the county would not allow that either. California, hard to do stuff.

Rob had entered into an agreement with the American Civil War Association to host annual reenactments there on the ranch either in '12, '13 or about when you were there. At this point, I just can't remember due to CRS. We looked with great anticipation to the first annual event, which, alas, never got off the ground due to San Luis Obispo County government regulatory interferance. The event(s) were dropped and we (ACWA) went looking for other venues to host our screwing around with black powder under the cloak of "honoring our ancestors". Next time you're there, plan on a 2.5 hour detour up to the Pacific Crest, 'cause as you know, were just 5 miles from Laguna Seca! Although I'm not a big race fan, our Monterey & Salinas Valley RR Museum (www.msvrr.org) has agreed to volunteer at the gates to collect tickets during this year's season. Our pay would go to the Museum. Double screwing around? I'm in! The PC has lovely overnight accommodations and meal plans, as well. Rates are VERY reasonable and we serve the finest in California wines, as long as someone brings them.

*Cuteness here!* The 2-4-0 fleet number 2 looks an authentic Baldwin product from the build plate on the smokebox, a 3'-0" younger sister of standard-gauge 2-4-0 Class 6/22-C-1 SerNo 3689 (ex-Virginia & Truckee River #21, in storage at Sacramento, CA, as of April 2016) - the sand and throttle domes are post-1890; if in fact a 1923 build, the serial number should be in the mid-40000's (e.g., "No. 45106 / Mar. 1923"). Don't know who built fleet number 3; I didn't see a build plate on her smokebox.
