hello bloggineers we are at the southern
california railway museum in paris
california and we're going to show you
the fun things you can do here these are
opening day disneyland ticket booths
from 1955. 1955. there's a disney logo
on here i'm not sure if it's original
but it's still cool
[Music]
we're gonna go in the big red barn to
look at some trains so they need to oil
their wheels and once they're oiled then
they'll go under that train
okay yeah that's the firebox so that's
where they light the fire to power the
engine
this train named chloe i think i was the
daughter of the guy who made it
it came from a sugar cane plantation in
hawaii the second class and third
classic cars i would prefer to sit in
because it's an open air but the guy
said there would be soot or like smoke
so that's why the first class is in the
back and the first class reminds me of
the pineapple express in hawaii what's
interesting about this truck is that
it's on rails and it was driven in
nevada for transporting things
i wonder what happens like if the track
curves left you have to also move the
steering wheel left or what if you move
it the steering wheel runs then will it
derail
this train is called the smokeless and
it has smoke
it should be the smoke more and the top
speed is walking speed we're gonna check
out the caboose it's also pouring rain
[Music]
this is car house one home to the los
angeles railway so the difference
between a railway and a railroad is a
railway is tracks built on what's
already a road so you're not like making
a whole new road for it for example this
is a railway but if it was a freight
train and you have to make a whole new
tractor that's a rail road
this is a california class street car
and it has these open windows because in
california the weather is so nice and it
never rains
so
you can just sit out here and enjoy the
sunshine i guess in a once in a million
chance that it does rain
then you can go to this section and just
close that door because here there's
windows we wrote out a street cart in
san pedro once and it did the same thing
where
yeah
the seat flips so now you can face each
other or when the streetcar reverses
directions then you're facing forward
these are replicas of old ads do they
have cigarette ads
oh they have vegetable soup they have
vinegar
i don't know what that is this cable car
ran at knott's berry farm from 1973 to
1984. knox got rid of it because they
built camp snoopy and in 1985 it was
donated here
this is the funeral car and it only has
space for one coffin the rest of the
seating is for a live people but a lot
of alive people didn't want to go in it
because of the dead coffin situation so
then it shut down
this is the signal garden so you take
special seeds put them in the ground and
it will grow these train signals
a cool one is if you press this button
here
look that thing changes color
[Music]
these plants make a lot of noise
let's just let's make all of them move
at the same time right
[Music]
they're not listening to me
[Music]
and that is and that is the signal
garden these are some very nice plants
these are old museum logos there's a
local tombstone company that gives them
the stones for free so they just have to
pay for the engraving
next is the middleton museum
inside this train there's a lot of
collectibles
[Music]
over here is a knott's berry from ghost
town train
[Music]
this is the mail train as the train was
moving there would be he said four or
five guys right just sorting the mail so
that when they're right at the
destination it's all ready
this is ridiculously short of a bed this
is comparable to an amtrak room and i
like this better you can actually lay
down oh there there's the bathroom
this is coach so here's the sitting area
and sleeping areas there's like a bunk
bed here's the curtain if the guy from
the top goes down then the guy from the
bottom's curtain would also go like this
we're going up the double decker from
ireland
so this is the first level you have to
be careful
but who cares for the first level
[Music]
this is the top of the double decker
street car i would love to be here
[Music]
this is the pacific electric hollywood
car
okay i'm not completely sure where this
ran but it's well lit and it looks in
really good condition
and that is the southern california
railway museum my favorite part was the
snake the signal garden because you've
got there were buttons on every signal
and you could press it and something
happens my favorite part was the los
angeles railway depot because it was
closing all of the different street cars
that used to be in los angeles i don't
know why that city got rid of them but
now they're here and they have special
design featured advertisements and seats
that move front and back even though it
was kind of rainy and then not rainy and
rainy and not rainy the weather was
spotty but we were still able to get a
good tour that's it see you in the next
video bye
