I hope you like this video I'm gonna go
see my friend Jenny with my new shoes

recently I was in Savannah Georgia I
visited the Georgia State Railroad
Museum this historic site features a
working turntable and a massive round
house that is filled with a great
collection of steam engines older
diesels and classic passenger cars all
of which are in excellent condition
there were so much to see with the shops
and the rolling stock they would
probably take about a half a day just to
see it all but the highlight for me was
taking a ride in the cab of a 1913 Oh
400 steam engine the trip starts and
ends at the turntable so let's take a
look
these trains in Riga or my first steam
engine
it's a
let's do an example open up this water
we make the water just fast enough to
overcome the first
that's how we refilled the sightglass
here shows us how much water is in the
boiler you can see the dark area here
that's where the water is we always want
to keep it above the crown sheet which
we have a line here keep that covered
with water otherwise we could have big
trucks okay and this is the hydrostatic
lubricator that's what we use to put oil
inside the moving parts like right hand
cylinder left hand and then this is for
the steam compressor okay
and our sandals are not our sanders
that's inside of the firebox area
it's enough right we're gonna take a
picture but I'm gonna have to stir it up
all right you can take a picture of that
is to be about 2527 wait year was a
singe until 1913 as of June 26 it's
built by the American locomotive company
at the Rogers works in Paterson New
Jersey it's one of the last ones Rogers
built before they went out of business
how long can this go with the a with the
average full supply we get about two
days worth of rides which is an average
of five rides a day she carries 900
pounds of coal and thirteen hundred and
thirty-two gallons of water we use about
twice as much water as we do coal so
we'll do about 400 pounds of coal a day
but we'll easily use a two-thirds of
that water no more
what's unique about the building there
are on this side the island sets attract
hunt Bay is 200 kilo and so forth
freight cars per day two passenger
colors per day and we're on the second
floor of the building all the rail cars
are at tuk when they started competing
with 36 2010 boxcars and that's how well
this forest
we're gonna be using this we're raising
money to connect this track over here
that the scale cars on to the line we
just came in so we can bring more
this book which is better suited for in
the house now people want to donate
what's the best way to do we have a
donation on our website
coastal Heritage Society org Georgia
State rared museum I think we're trying
to work on it through Facebook for the
most part right now they'll go through
our website
it's actually our newest acquisition we
just got out in December
CSX retirement
I don't need to scale cars anymore
how old is this passenger car this is
actually a flat car from 1950 and we
rebuilt that we built this top part in
2005 to mimic an eighteen seventy eight
passenger car we have on the side
to any other engines right
forty-four
this place also was very kid-friendly
with model train layouts and a play area
for them the crew and the staff were
fantastic and I just can't say enough
good things about them I had such a
great time you can learn more and please
donate through their website which is
CHS Georgia o RG it was definitely
