@Valkyrie autocorrect is a bitch sometimes, or maybe I am just that stupid that I cannot comprehend the differences in meaning of certain words above a third grade reading level. Whatever you choose to be the truth is probably good enough. But thanks for the correction.
Why didn’t they just call a taxi or uber whatever it was back then to their destination when they ran out of fuel on the train? Or why didn’t they just schedule a flight they could’ve been home in a few hours if even that .. they were fucking autistic idiots
Can we talk about the fact that the conductor’s crew found five different modes of transportation during this chase? Either security on locomotives were really bad back then or something...
William Fuller was a well known conductor at the time and every time he needed another locomotive he just yelled YANKEES STOLE OUR TRAIN HELP US CHASE EM DOWN and since he was well known and a trysted employee if the Western and Atlantic R.R they let him have it the locomotives he used were the Yonah, the William R. Smith and finally the Texas he had to abandon the Yohnah due to two south bound fright trains blocking his path he then boarded the William R. Smith and chased the general until he came upon a break in the tracks where the Raiders had pulled it up he then stopped and used the texas and chased the general until the general ran out of woodand water juat north of Ringgold GA all 23 raiders were captured 8 were executed the rest returned to the north after escape and prisoner exchange Andrews raiders were the first men to be awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor both the General and Texas are preserved today the general is at the southern museum of civil war and locomotive history and the texas is at the atlanta history center.
I'm astounded at how teachers manage to make history boring. I used to sleep thru that class, but when I was able to travel a little, see historical sites and then learned some of the actual stories of historical events, I've loved it. People are batshit crazy, always have been, always will be, and the real, true stories of some of the things that have gone down are so ridiculous that they would be unbelievable as fiction. If only teachers would tap into that side of things instead of just focusing on dull dates and timelines, kids would love learning. Game of Thrones is tame in comparison to real history.
I bet they were in the Writer's room, thinking "Man, we don't have the budget to show a train chase action sequence, what are we going to do?", and one model train enthusiast just stood up, pen in hand, and thought "MY time has finally come!".
@2:18 Andrews says "Fuller's eating Eggs Benny", and @2:28 I think that's actually Eggs Benedict on Fuller's fork. Their attention to detail with random lines the storytellers throw in, I can't. Lmao 😂
I am a direct descendant of Samuel Slavens (one of the 7 raiders hanged). They had to hang him twice (rope broke) because he was such a large man. Several family members, including one of my kids bears his name. Also these raiders were the 1st recipients of the US Congressional Medal of Honor. Loved this, I was cracking up. It was after all a 100 plus years ago.
For anyone who hasn't heard of this before, Disney actually made a live-action version in the 50s that's relatively true to the story since Disney was such a big train guy
I have seen the mivue and seen both the real general and texas and the William Mason and lafyette the locomotives used to portray the General and Yohnah the William Mason and Lafayette are both running at the B&O railroad museum in Baltimore Maryland
The Civil War was when we went from being "these united states" to "The United States". Its effects are felt to this day, you can't understand modern politics unless you start there. And the stories from actual soldiers, thru their letters, are indeed crazy. I pray we never see anything like that again, but I'm a little nervous given our current divide.

Although the US was obviously a united country for nearly a century before I fully get what you mean. Shelby Foote said something similar.. Sadly many seem to want to see the US as "These united states", I can think of plenty of heated conversations I've had with pro-confederates - and not just the Lost Causers, but people that ALSO actually strongly believe in secession.
As someone who grew up in north Georgia, attended college in Kennesaw (formerly know as Big Shanty), and took an entire class that discussed the historical memory of the Great Locomotive Chase, I can not describe how excited I was that a Drunk History was finally made about one of the dumbest, unimportant, amazing stories from the Civil War. This is great!
I have been to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive history many times haven't been in awhile dye to covid but the museum ia great and definitely worth a visit
OMFG ALL THE ACTORS R SO AAMMMAAAZZZINNNNGGG IN THIS SERIES...THEY ARE SEAMLESSLY ACTING OUT THE SPEECH SKIPS/FAILS IN THEIR ACTING..... DDUUUUDDEE THAT REQUIRES PRACTICE / REHARSAL OR PUURREEE SKILL!!!! AWESOME HATSOFFF TO THIS SERIES "select star left right 30 lives contra!" hahahahaha
Derek gets really into this one! I’ve watched at least 50 of these episodes and he doesn’t usually get involved much but eating playdough was hilarious 😂
There needs to be a Drunk History for the Black Count Alex Dumas. He was the former slave that was the basis for the 3 Musketeers stories. John Legend could do it. He owns movie the rights to the book
If he owns the movie rights then his plan is to do it but he hasn't gotten backing for it just yet. As much as Hollywood is starving for new franchises, they're also Their Own Worst Enemy since they're very hesitant to back anything that isn't part of a franchise. Look at white chicks, all these years later and they still haven't gotten the green light, and that movie was loved.
Oh man, I've lived right next to the memorial for this in Kennesaw (previously known as Big Shanty). There's a bridge with a relief of the train carved into the side of it with the quote "20 minutes for breakfast!" because that's the takeaway from the whole debacle - you can not separate a true Southerner from their grits and biscuits and gravy for ANYTHING. Plus, they're all super excited to get their train back, but like... that's such a small victory guys.
Ironically this is the most accurate retelling of the event as it has all the locomotives that were involved in the "chase" rather than just the W&ARR General and Texas
I'm from the Vollunneer State! We sent lots of vollunneers to the war, although I'm not sure which war, because I learned history in public school in the Vollunneer State.
LMAO when he said "they pull the brakes to a halt" (sic.) he actually pushes the regulator forward which would have added more steam and caused the engine to move forward quicker xD
What's even more impressive is that the train crew's initial pursuit was actually just a push car and not a pump car. They had to propel themselves after the stolen train using a pole.
Why is it that Comedy Central has more History content then the actual History Channel?
Aliens.
Cus you dont watch the History Channel
@@boratsagdiev6486 Neither do you
I actually miss the old History channel where they featured a lot of meaningful documentaries
"Aliens !"
"T 1000ing" after the train is probably the best thing I've herd this year.

I can't believe how attractive he is even with the Amish chinstrap.
@@SacredDaturaa I've rewatched Bones just to see him!
I like how the smuggler looks like an Amish guy 🤣. I live in Lancaster county Pa and it's dead on.
Err, pretty sure that's the normal garb fro back then - Simple and plain
He looks like Mac Miller cosplaying an amish guy
wow i live in Lancaster NY
me too
He look more like Abraham Lincoln with the beard.
This guy needs to tell more drunk history stories!!!🤣
"Hit me with the whistle." 😂
I love this so much. John Francis Daley and Martin Starr are both amazing in this
It’s the Freaks and Geeks reunion we always needed.
John Francis Daley absolutely crushed this
I’m from Marietta, this story is huge there and they have a museum dedicated to this event. I can’t wait to show this to everyone there.
Good to see you Sweets!!!
Right. Love JFD.
The whole episode my brain just said SWEETS! ITS SWEETS!!!
Exactlyyyyyy that's also what I thought, I can never see an actor from Bones and not immediately think of their name in the show 😂😂

It would be the drunkest history ever. It would be super funny.
Naw Robert Downey jr
With chris hemsworth
pretty sure disney actors arent allowed to drink openly. They are slaves of the mouse anyway.
I learned about this in elementary bc it happened in my town. There’s a museum right next to big shanty w the OG train
You did?
David Harrison yeah I’ve been to the museum and I got to see the engine
David Harrison did you?

How is this not a remake with better visuals and a leading cast? This guy was hilarious. I love drunk history
It is tragic that this show was canceled!! These episodes are indelible, unlike mainstream education history lessons
Corona sadly killed the show, had some setbacks in early 2020 and then the pandemic stopped it from recovering
2:30 Was TOOO funny LOL!
I'm glad they mentioned Raider #9. We learned about him in school but he never got much recognition.
I love the fact they used toy trains in this
They are the bachmann HO scale 4-4-0s running on Bachmann E-Z track with steel rail and black roadbed
Drunk history is great. Especially in this era they are talking about, this might be the most accurate portrayal of how shit really went down.
"A B Select Start 30 Lives.. Contra"
Shout out to the Konami Code
"That plan backfired, guess im getting hanged now" is a mood
For a comedy segment, this is REALLY WELL FILMED AND RESEARCHED.
