I remember going there in the 1960's when they first started operation. Only 1 car Illinois Terminal 415 was operating. The track looked like an overgrown siding. They have come a long way.
I like the Leviathan, I enjoy 4-4-0's. I think that's why I ended up buying two for my N scale layout. I wonder, how many period era cars could a 4-4-0 pull? At Disneyland their 5/8th scale 4-4-0's could pull a freight train of 8 cars. Any videos I've seen of full size 4-4-0's show a maximum of 3 cars but that's because the cars are heavier cars from a newer era. Anyway great video!
it's good to see that these historic old machines are being restored.
.the 4-4-0 was built only a few years ago.
I know. Its still nice to have an example of one for the future.
The Museum is Celebration 70th Anniversary in 2023.

They sure have. Thank you very much the feedback and have a good day.
Brilliant videos
Great video, Cheers Stu @ Lime Junction

Great video. It's hard to believe the Nebraska Zephyr is 70 years older than the Leviathan!

First scene a waste. This is a fractured most disappointing film.
