This is great to see! This #96 caboose sat in my backyard from about 1975 to the late 90's in Hartland, Michigan. My dad had purchased it for entertaining. It is now being restored by a gentleman in the Romulas, MI area. I had lot of fun sleep overs with friends in this caboose. Thanks for posting this.
Hello Noah: I would not want to post someones address on the internet, but I will give you the owners email address if you contact me through my forms page at www.myvideousa.com. Then you can reach out to the owner of #96 if you would like more info on its current location. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I started with DT&I in 1967 after graduating H>S> I had 4 station Relief clerk, then move into HQ machine room. Then they Bought all IBM equipment for machine room and all the staff that was interested were trained at IBM school. spent 25 years with DTI & GTE & CN until spring o 1997.
The DT&I was a big part of my family history. Grandpa John Houseman was section boss out of Jeffersonville and worked until he retired there. My Dad, Harry Houseman and at least two uncles worked the DT&I at various times. During WWll, my dad, too old to enlist, worked as a guard on the big DT&I bridge at Quincy, Ohio. I grew up in Jeffersonville on Railroad Street across from the big grain elevator and DT&I depot. I used to walk the tracks out of town to go shoot my .22 rifle. All gone now.
Little before my time, but i can remember the trains on railroad St. when i was a kid in the 1950's, it isolated upper and lower Ironton when they came through town. Great Video!
I had to pause it several times but their was one of the DT&I Russian Decapods pulling the coal train. One is still in existence. 311 at Spencer Shops in North Carolina. It is in it's last railroad it worked for scheme, Seaboard 544. Talk about a history. Wheeling and Lake Erie to DT&I to Seaboard to Gainesville Midland to Seaboard again. Neat!
I wish there were home movies of the DT&I steamers and not just the DT&I Russian Decapods. The DT&I Berkshires spring to my mind for example. Although they looked like NKP Berkshires, I wish at least one or two of the engines would be saved, so one of them could work in operation with Pere Marquette 1225, another berkshire. And besides, I wish the railroad upgraded them with 69-inch drive wheels instead of the 63-inch drive wheels.
We lived on Pelham Rd between Wick and Goddard for 34 years the DT and I crossed Pelham Rd North of our house it went West of our house about a eighth of a mile .
OK, they focus on one railroad or set of railroads in the All Aboard Series, but the start of the show is at some random museum. That fellow Frank Kyper who is interviewed at approximately 3:50, is in front of the Tennessee Valley Railroad's Grand Junction Station in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
