It took everything I had not to make a remark about how the entrance to the limestone quarry was called "The Glory Hole"
NAAAAHHHHH😭😭😭😭
😅..😅. Hahaha
Freaky tunnel
Im sorry *what*?
Glorious
NEXT EPISODE OF K-37 KITCHEN, WE COOK CHICKEN ON THE CHIGGEN!! If Hyce was allowed to place a GoPro on the boiler of a Heisler to film the valve gear, then maybe for the next Great Western Steamup he can ask permission to be even STUPIDER!
Chiggen: "Don't call me chicken!! It's Chi-ggen."
😭
Lupin the third reference?
Oh cool it’s victor tanzig
Yooo its nice to see you around Victor
Yo what up
I've talked to Stathi Pappas before, super cool and knowledgeable guy! (also he picked the cheapest single note whistle he could find off ebay for the loco, just to make the foamers mad lol)
She made a great sight at the Great Western Steam Up at Carson City in 2022. Pity that sort of gathering is logistically difficult to pull off regularly
Interesting new Thomas The Tank Engine character.
“Chicken!”
-Scout, TF2
"Chicken." *Boiler Explosion*
"We'd like to take a moment to annou--" *Boiler Explosion and screaming*
"All our trains keep blowing u-"
*Another Boiler Explosion*
@@ThatChargerPursuitGuy thats what i was thinking of 😭🙏
chicken
*_💥_*
love that name 😂
4:44 Hyce: Challenge accepted
They probably already have tbh
"What's up guys, this is Hyce, and today on K-37 Kitchen I'm cooking a whole chicken in 491's firebox while she warms up for the day."
Do it Mark, do it! I dare you!
Footplate crew are known to bake eggs and bacon on the shovel and take hot boiler water for coffee, tea and boil eggs.
We did bake pizza's in the natural gas heated industrial steam boilers.
So there is already a cuisine tradition, we just need some Chicken recipes.
I was literally going to comment on that...
Chiggen my beloved
>consult with Hyce for the Lone Ranger video
>does a video chronicling the galloping geese
>now a video chronicling the history of a locomotive that’s owned by one of Hyce’s friends
Nice to see Railtubers coordinating!
I will note that Chiggen did operate in Snoqualmie Washington for a few years at the Northwest Railway Museum. Around 2019 it went to California.
I got a few Images of it running there. Should also be in the local paper.
I've been to Santa Cruz a bunch of times! I think I actually saw the Chiggen after it had been restored once several years ago on the Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railway. I don't think I ever got to go to Pollardville, unfortunately, but I have seen what I think are some of the old tracks that No. 1 and 2 ran on. They might have been different tracks though, I'll have to look on my next trip out there.
Me too lol
Duck: I'm Montague but they usually call me Duck.
Chiggin: I can relate! They called me Chiggin and Chicken.
Duck: So what's the story?
Chiggin: I advertised a Chicken restaurant.
Duck: Oh! They only called me Duck because they thought I waddled.
Chiggin: Oh!? Then I guess I can't relate!
Duck: Well 'at don't mean we can't still be birds of a feather, eh? I've been curious about across the pond, if ye'd indulge me?
Chiggen: I'd be happy to! And you can tell me about your home, too!
Mimikyu: really that doesn't really make sense cuz you're both actually pets for No 1 that privately owned steam locomotive yeah he actually made a deal with both of you for you to be his pets duck your the pet duck and chiggin is the pet chicken
1 and 2 need a family reunion
Should we summon Hyce to do an episode of K-37 kitchens with the chiggen and make chicken in it?
We've got a "cousin" on display at the Kentucky Railway Museum, a 1923 Vulcan Iron Works 0-4-0TT, Louisville Cement No. 11
0:07 The first 20 big boys were actually equipped for passenger service too lol, could’ve used a better example. Don’t forget that the UP Challengers were used in freight and passenger service. Even the 9000 Class 4-12-2s were used in passenger service if necessary (I have a photo of this in a book I own).
I am so disappointed to hear that Pollardville is no longer in business. It sounds like it would've been a fun place to visit. Glad the locomotive was saved and restored at least, but I kinda wish its days advertising a chicken restaurant/ghost town weren't over.
Wait, a poorly made trestle bridge that swayed near uncontrollably…Misty Island real???!!?!!???!!!??!?
Hmm, I feel like I’ve seen a Portland Cement Co. engine somewhere between Springfield Missouri and Wichita Kansas. I have traveled that route many times, and thus can safely say I remember seeing a saddle tank engine with the name of Portland Cement Co. written on the side of said saddle tank somewhere along the way.
“Hello, my name is Gustavo Fring, but you can call me Gus”
0:30 *Where strangers become friends*
Now you’re making me hungry 😋 for chicken! 🍗
Oh, I have been waiting for this for a long time. I am a Santa Cruz County native, and Davenport is a short five-mile drive. Seeing the old cement company plant is surreal. It continued to be used until 2010, when Union Pacific ceased operations on the branch line after Cemex, a Mexican cement company, shut its doors on the site. Chiggen did return to Santa Cruz in July 2014 to run on the Santa Cruz, Big Trees, and Pacific Railway based out of Felton. We have been eager to see the engine return for a short visit in the future. However, the engine is now at the California Western, also known as the Skunk Train, in Fort Bragg, as that is also where Mr. Pappas is employed as the general manager of the railroad.
Let's not forget that Colonel Sanders got his start by selling fried chicken to railroad crews, so there is definitely a relationship between American locomotives and chicken dinners. An underrated steam engine. This video should help with some more country-wide and international popularity.
Atlantic County Harley Davidson has an 0-4-0 just like that parked in front of it. Located on Route 30 in Absecon NJ.
If you have a pail of parts for it, wouldn't you have, a bucket of "Chiggen"?
I had the awesome privilege to be able to ride a passenger train pulled by the Chiggen, as a birthday present a couple years back when it made a visit to the California Western Railway (Skunk Train) to fill in for the Mikado 45, which was being restored at the time and thus wouldn't be available for the Month of Steam the Skunk Train likes to do once a year. I love saddle tank engines, so I was honestly happier to be pulled by the Chiggen than the Mikado. It was a wonderful experience.
To answer your question, I'm not sure if cooking in an oil burning loco would be very healthy. Maybe if you sealed the pot and cooked it by heat transfer.
But on coal burners, shovel cooking is absolutely a thing
My grandfather had an 0-4-0 much like those engines, only difference being the materials the cab was made out of and that he bought it from a dockyard allegedly. Still though, cool to see the history of those engines from a small local rail line
I spent a few minutes during a vist to the Mt. Rainier Scenic's shops to help with the restoration.
We went to Pollardville when we were kids. It was on highway 99 between Stockton and Lodi.
I’m glad the chiggen has a video about itself ! Iv had the pleasure of working near it, and it’s a amazing little engine
I have heard of this Story before. I wasn't born to see hit but I have heard of it. I wonder if it's still around
I’ve seen her in person! Was a guest locomotive on the Skunk Train! Really fun time :)
If you look at the end of the video of the Chiggen what it looks now. It carries its toy which is a rubber chicken in its front coupler.
KFC has been awfully quiet since this video.
Chiggen being on display outside of a chicken restaurant most certainly did make them some big "bucks."
I used to drive past that restaurant all the time, and I loved seeing that engine. I still have that newspaper clipping from when it was moved. Very glad to know it was restored, and I hope to see it in action someday!
if i ever become a youtube like zeos by putting a video camera on my head to make clips on social media , i consider buying a steam loco to put in my studio room to get viewers attention . he used he's cat as clickbait and it worked , helped him moving from rented apartment to house , at least appearently
I really hope 1 & 2 can finally be reunited after so many years.
... when you say banking i assume you don't mean the money type
“Do you wanna free chicken nuggets” - Tangomangle
I feel like he should have at least have gotten a nameplate that reads "The Chiggen"
I've seen a video of somebody makin' a smoke box pancake on a coal shovel.
I bet Hyce might have done something similar to one of the engines he works with
Here in Finland we have an old steam engine now serving as a railway museum sign Holder.
“Shake shake, make me quack till I shake” some steam locomotive
Hey there, good lookin'. I got a train of chicken.
Chicken Engines or Coal Nuggets
K37 kitchen by hyce will cook it for you.
Noticing a theme - first Geese, the a chicken
Pollards took good care of number two
The title and thumbnail are pretty misleading
crazy chicken train locomotive
Goose last week, chicken this week, Duck next week?
Oof thats kinda weird that a loco sells chickens lol
I wish they kept the chiggen liverie
NO WAY!!!!! MY LAST NAME IS POLLARD!!!!! 😱
Stathi inspired me to buy an antique tug boat
Why has no one gotten a nameplate for it yet
Here is Percy the Green Engine
im the 565th liker
:D
4:57 someone get hyce
Chimken
Chiggen the new rise of engines
The Chiggen Express
Chiggen chicken
What other bird will the next video be about
Hawk tuah
I once saw Chiggen at the Great Western Steam Up on July 2nd, 2022!
However about no. 1, it’s probably in the Central Valley although not in good condition
Stathi is a great man, I’ve had a few conversations with him and am doing some 3D work for him right now. He currently has bought a narrow gauge porter saddle tank engine from Georgetown and is restoring it at his shops in fort Bragg.
I'd like to see you do more videos on everything wrong with the trains in as i think you'll have a feild day looking at the trains in the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode the Good the Bad and the Tigger and the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode the Robotnik Express
Met Stathi a couple times, really nice and down to earth guy. when No. 2 ran at the Northwest Railroad Museum she would have a rubber chicken stuffed in the front coupler...though I did suggest to him once that they put a barn-topper chicken wind vane on the headlight!
I believe that engine is in the hands of the Sacramento Valley Railroad out of Folsom, Ca. I got to ride the first time they steamed her up and took it out. Feb. 20, 2022.
This was an hour from me! I never ate there but I remember driving by it as a kid! I’m so glad to know it wasn’t scrapped.
There was a Dairy along the same highway that also used to have a (somewhat larger) locomotive out front but I can’t remember where exactly, the location has since been demolished for more strip mall garbage.
Day 1 of asking train of thought to cover General Portland Cement Company #42
It's a shame they didn't put it back in service, in its Pollardville livery. That would be something to see!
FunFact: The Austrian sentence "Geh' ma tschickn' (spoken like chicken)" translates to "Let's go smoke."
Cooking in the smokebox? Have you been talking to Hyce again?
2:10 that's crazy, I just passed by the western railway museum of Rio Vista today!
1:11 was this the inspiration for misty island rescue perhaps?
I’d say chicken would probably cook faster in chiggen our beloved if you roasted it on a shovel in the firebox
I live not too far away from the Western Railway Museum. Next time I am there I will have to ask about it.
You could actually, locomotive crews would use the fire boxes to actually cook food while on the move
Day (Idr) of requesting the Mocănița
Speaking of engine cooked food, what about steamed and smoked dim sims? I'd bloody love that
Honestly love this little locomotive, especially for its sound
Speaking of cooking chicken in a locomotive, how about the cookbooks for cooking food on steam locomotives?
I legit thought this episode was going to be about a steam engine being modified to cook chicken as it rode the rails.
Not gonna lie ….. I thought they were gonna use it as a smoker for the restaurant
Bill & Ben?
Chicken train, funniest shit ive ever seen
Chicken+train=cuggen
Oh good, both were saved.
2 of my favorite things in 1 😋
Mrs Tweedy would be proud.
What a happy ending :)
I mean @hyce has smoked ribs in the smoke box of RGS 20 so possible, yes, but given the chiggin is a oil burner i down if you would want to eat it after
You'd probably need to put it in an oven dish thing, or wrap it in a _lot_ of foil...
@@sebforce1165 yea, I'm sure there is way to do it, just have to be careful, wait, we're talking about cooking something in a steam locomotive, sent it we die like men
