17:00:48,215 --> 17:00:50,317
For the last 30 years,
I've been riding the rails

17:00:55,756 --> 17:00:57,090
Today I'm here

on our 30th anniversary special.

82

The Streamliner Era trains
of the 1950s

83
17:03:50,764 --> 17:03:52,199
and '60s have long disappeared

84
17:03:52,266 --> 17:03:55,202
from the North American
landscape, except for this one.

85
17:03:55,269 --> 17:03:56,336
And we're about
to take you on it

86
17:03:56,403 --> 17:03:58,572

clear across Canada.

We are on Train Number One,

[ Cheers and applause ]

92
17:04:15,689 --> 17:04:18,625
-You need a train, of course,
to experience railroad magic.

93
17:04:18,692 --> 17:04:20,294
But the real trick
is to put yourself

94
17:04:20,360 --> 17:04:22,329
on the grandest stage possible.

95
17:04:22,396 --> 17:04:24,665
Look no further than Canada.

96
17:04:24,731 --> 17:04:29,303
-Canada is such a vast country,
and there's so much to see,

97
17:04:29,369 --> 17:04:31,839
and this is an easy way
to do it.

98
17:04:31,905 --> 17:04:35,909
-Easy, thanks to VIA Rail,
Canada's national railroad.

99
17:04:35,976 --> 17:04:37,911
Hop aboard, and you can go
from the Atlantic

100
17:04:37,978 --> 17:04:40,814
to the Pacific,
across the plains,

101
17:04:40,881 --> 17:04:44,618
through the Rockies,
from sunrise to sunset

102
17:04:44,685 --> 17:04:46,186
on a narrow ribbon of rail

103
17:04:46,253 --> 17:04:49,223
through some of the most
majestic scenery in the world.

104
17:04:49,289 --> 17:04:52,826
-I think it's wonderful
to go through Ontario

105
17:04:52,893 --> 17:04:54,294
and see the wilderness

106
17:04:54,361 --> 17:04:56,830
and wake up on the prairies
the next morning,

107
17:04:56,897 --> 17:04:59,700
and then this morning, wake up
to see the mountains.

108
17:04:59,766 --> 17:05:01,535
It's just awesome.

109
17:05:01,602 --> 17:05:03,437
-Just how incredible
is this trip?

110
17:05:03,504 --> 17:05:04,805
Well, first of all,
you're traveling

111
17:05:04,872 --> 17:05:07,241
through the second-largest
country in the world

112
17:05:07,307 --> 17:05:09,676
on board the pride of Canada.

113
17:05:09,743 --> 17:05:11,044
-The train that we're on,
<i>The Canadian,</i>

114
17:05:11,111 --> 17:05:12,913
is an iconic train.

115
17:05:12,980 --> 17:05:15,282
It's one of the iconic
train trips around the world.

116
17:05:15,349 --> 17:05:16,583
-The train is so famous,

117
17:05:16,650 --> 17:05:19,052
it's been featured
on Canada's $10 note,

118
17:05:19,119 --> 17:05:22,022
which instills a sense
of national pride here.

119
17:05:22,089 --> 17:05:24,324
-As a Canadian,
I'm really proud of this train

120
17:05:24,391 --> 17:05:27,528
because it shows the beautiful
history of our country

121
17:05:27,594 --> 17:05:29,596
and the potential
of our country

122
17:05:29,663 --> 17:05:32,399
to continue to go
to these remote places,

123
17:05:32,466 --> 17:05:36,036
reach out and share this country
with other people.

124
17:05:36,103 --> 17:05:38,138
-Well, I boarded in Toronto,
my hometown.

125
17:05:38,205 --> 17:05:40,174
And I have to say,
I had a moment

126
17:05:40,240 --> 17:05:43,177
of emotional pride when I saw
the name on the train,

127
17:05:43,243 --> 17:05:44,878
<i>The Canadian.</i>

128
17:05:44,945 --> 17:05:47,748
-People come from around
the world to ride <i>The Canadian.</i>

129
17:05:47,814 --> 17:05:50,284
It's a stainless-steel
time capsule that encloses you

130
17:05:50,350 --> 17:05:54,321
in a world of beauty,
history, and imagination.

131
17:05:54,388 --> 17:05:57,925
-This is the most
fantastic ride on the continent.

132
17:05:57,991 --> 17:05:59,826
The train itself is beautiful,

133
17:05:59,893 --> 17:06:02,529
and the views outside
are incomparable.

134
17:06:02,596 --> 17:06:03,764
Every time
you look out the window,

135
17:06:03,830 --> 17:06:07,167
there's another marvel
to explore.

136
17:06:07,668 --> 17:06:09,469
You go on journeys in your mind

137
17:06:09,536 --> 17:06:11,471
while you're on a journey
on the train.

138
17:06:11,538 --> 17:06:14,508
You imagine what it was like
hundreds of years ago

139
17:06:14,575 --> 17:06:16,710
crossing the country.

140
17:06:17,978 --> 17:06:20,013
-VIA Rail offers packages
and services

141
17:06:20,080 --> 17:06:23,250
that can keep you
on this train for up to 12 days,

142
17:06:23,317 --> 17:06:24,718
and to help
keep you comfortable,

143
17:06:24,785 --> 17:06:28,288
they have many sleeping options
for you to choose from.

144
17:06:28,355 --> 17:06:29,756
There's four types
of living accommodations

145
17:06:29,823 --> 17:06:31,158
on this train
in the touring class.

146
17:06:31,225 --> 17:06:33,393
So you have
a lower and upper berth,

147
17:06:33,460 --> 17:06:35,229
which is semiprivate for one.

148
17:06:35,295 --> 17:06:37,130
Then we have a private bedroom
for one, which we refer to

149
17:06:37,197 --> 17:06:39,700
as a roomette,
which has your own bathroom

150
17:06:39,766 --> 17:06:41,735
and your own sink
and a bed that comes out

151
17:06:41,802 --> 17:06:44,438
from either the ceiling
or the wall.

152
17:06:44,505 --> 17:06:45,739
Then we have bedrooms for two.

153
17:06:45,806 --> 17:06:48,175
Has an adjoining room next to it
with a movable wall.

154
17:06:48,242 --> 17:06:49,576
And if you take that wall down,

155
17:06:49,643 --> 17:06:52,346
it becomes a suite
for two or for four.

156
17:06:52,412 --> 17:06:54,047
Or you can have
four people in it

157
17:06:54,114 --> 17:06:56,250
and in the daytime,
just leave the wall open,

158
17:06:56,316 --> 17:06:59,319
put the beds away, and you have
four large chairs to sit in,

159
17:06:59,386 --> 17:07:02,456
and you have two private
windows to watch the journey.

160
17:07:02,523 --> 17:07:04,758
-I'll tell you,
this trip has been unbelievable.

161
17:07:04,825 --> 17:07:08,362
But my favorite class of service
by far is the Prestige service.

162
17:07:08,428 --> 17:07:09,730
This is what folks come for.

163
17:07:09,796 --> 17:07:12,132
It is completely sold out
years in advance.

164
17:07:12,199 --> 17:07:13,734
And there's a reason why.

165
17:07:13,800 --> 17:07:14,902
-The Prestige service,

166
17:07:14,968 --> 17:07:16,436
which is really
our luxury brand,

167
17:07:16,503 --> 17:07:19,072
which is the full bedroom
for two with a private shower,

168
17:07:19,139 --> 17:07:21,275
private bathroom,
and a full double bed,

169
17:07:21,341 --> 17:07:23,343
which comes out as a Murphy bed
out of the wall

170
17:07:23,410 --> 17:07:25,879
with a very, very large
picture window in front of it.

171
17:07:25,946 --> 17:07:28,582
Prestige not only has bigger
rooms, private shower,

172
17:07:28,649 --> 17:07:31,084
private bathroom,
and all the other amenities --

173
17:07:31,151 --> 17:07:32,886
It also has appetizers
that are served.

174
17:07:32,953 --> 17:07:35,789
There's a concierge service
with Prestige as well.

175
17:07:35,856 --> 17:07:38,325
The food is better,
the alcohol is included,

176
17:07:38,392 --> 17:07:41,028
and it's just
an overall luxury-brand product.

177
17:07:41,094 --> 17:07:43,096
-I'm just proud about,
you know,

178
17:07:43,163 --> 17:07:46,166
trying to provide
excellent customer service

179
17:07:46,233 --> 17:07:47,301
to the passengers.

180
17:07:47,367 --> 17:07:49,069
I feel like
they deserve excellent --

181
17:07:49,136 --> 17:07:50,938
You know,
it's a trip in the lifetime

182
17:07:51,004 --> 17:07:52,606
for a lot of these people,
so you just want to make sure

183
17:07:52,673 --> 17:07:55,175
that they enjoy it
and have a great time.

184
17:07:55,242 --> 17:07:56,410
-And Jake has lots of help,

185
17:07:56,476 --> 17:07:58,645
with a brigade
of talented co-workers

186
17:07:58,712 --> 17:08:01,448
that ensure passengers
experience the very best

187
17:08:01,515 --> 17:08:03,016
this trip has to offer.

188
17:08:03,083 --> 17:08:04,751
-Bon voyage, tout le monde!

189
17:08:04,818 --> 17:08:09,389
Have a wonderful trip
on Train Number One. Cheers.

190
17:08:09,456 --> 17:08:11,291
-Cheers.
-Cheers.

191
17:08:11,358 --> 17:08:14,161
-We have today 26 crew members.

192
17:08:14,228 --> 17:08:16,697
And we have porters
making the beds,

193
17:08:16,763 --> 17:08:18,332
taking care
of the accommodations.

194
17:08:18,398 --> 17:08:21,935
We have chefs and cooks
cooking all the meals --

195
17:08:22,002 --> 17:08:23,770
breakfast, lunch, dinner.

196
17:08:23,837 --> 17:08:26,573
And then we have
two activity coordinators

197
17:08:26,640 --> 17:08:30,911
making sure we catch
all the highlights of each trip.

198
17:08:30,978 --> 17:08:34,548
So we have to make it
the best trip for them.

199
17:08:34,615 --> 17:08:35,949
-The staff make the trip,
really.

200
17:08:36,016 --> 17:08:37,417
I mean, we always say,
you know,

201
17:08:37,484 --> 17:08:39,820
we're selling the scenery,
which we don't own,

202
17:08:39,887 --> 17:08:41,889
we're selling the journey, and
we're selling the experience."

203
17:08:41,955 --> 17:08:43,624
And the staff is what
makes the experience.

204
17:08:43,690 --> 17:08:44,958
If it's a trip of a lifetime,

205
17:08:45,025 --> 17:08:46,627
the last thing you want
is to have poor service.

206
17:08:46,693 --> 17:08:48,762
And we thrive on great service,

207
17:08:48,829 --> 17:08:51,598
and that's what keeps
bringing people back.

208
17:08:51,665 --> 17:08:54,468
-And we have our maple chicken

209
17:08:55,302 --> 17:08:58,972
with rosemary and thyme
under the skin.

210
17:09:01,842 --> 17:09:03,911
-Another element that sets
this journey apart

211
17:09:03,977 --> 17:09:06,647
is the culinary feast
it provides.

212
17:09:06,713 --> 17:09:08,916
-The food is amazing.
It's delicious.

213
17:09:08,982 --> 17:09:12,219
It's -- There are lots of
options -- vegetarian, meat.

214
17:09:12,286 --> 17:09:15,322
So you can choose, like,
what is best for your diet.

215
17:09:15,389 --> 17:09:17,524
It's great.
-The taste of the food,

216
17:09:17,591 --> 17:09:20,360
the presentation
have all been excellent.

217
17:09:20,427 --> 17:09:23,197
The staff has made it
as if it's my home,

218
17:09:23,263 --> 17:09:26,466
and they've welcomed me,
and it's just great.

219
17:09:26,533 --> 17:09:29,369
It's the best food
I've had in a long, long time.

220
17:09:29,436 --> 17:09:31,271
[ Sizzling ]

221
17:09:31,338 --> 17:09:35,576
-Food prepared and cooked
in a 1950-era dining car.

222
17:09:35,642 --> 17:09:37,811
One thing that has not changed
since then --

223
17:09:37,878 --> 17:09:39,580
the fact that you are moving.

224
17:09:39,646 --> 17:09:42,049
Well, the challenge is, like,

225
17:09:42,115 --> 17:09:44,451
when the train
is going really fast,

226
17:09:44,518 --> 17:09:48,288
you know, and you're cooking
and carrying some hot stuff,

227
17:09:48,355 --> 17:09:49,857
it's kind of -- You know,

228
17:09:49,923 --> 17:09:54,728
you have to be able to do it
with being jerked around.

229
17:09:54,795 --> 17:09:56,396
-The challenges
in tight quarters,

230
17:09:56,463 --> 17:09:59,633
along with serving hot meals
at 100 kilometers an hour,

231
17:09:59,700 --> 17:10:02,269
has somehow drawn his team
closer together.

232
17:10:02,336 --> 17:10:04,371
A tight-knit family here.

233
17:10:04,438 --> 17:10:06,974
-I love the family factor.

234
17:10:07,040 --> 17:10:10,611
There's no teamwork
like on the train.

235
17:10:11,411 --> 17:10:15,282
You won't find that
in a restaurant because...

236
17:10:15,349 --> 17:10:17,017
You won't.

237
17:10:18,619 --> 17:10:20,153
-A team with a common goal,

238
17:10:20,220 --> 17:10:22,322
making
your 4,400-kilometer journey

239
17:10:22,389 --> 17:10:24,124
from Toronto to Vancouver

240
17:10:24,191 --> 17:10:25,893
a memory that will last forever.

241
17:10:25,959 --> 17:10:27,961
-This train is a classic.

242
17:10:28,028 --> 17:10:30,464
It's gorgeous.
And especially now at a time

243
17:10:30,531 --> 17:10:34,034
when we're trying to
really appreciate retro beauty,

244
17:10:34,101 --> 17:10:35,936
this train has really got it.

245
17:10:36,003 --> 17:10:38,739
-It's -- It sort of stands
for what a Canadian is.

246
17:10:38,805 --> 17:10:41,842
It's -- You know,
it's been here a long time.

247
17:10:41,909 --> 17:10:44,444
And we give good service.

248
17:10:44,511 --> 17:10:48,749
It's just a beautiful train
that I hope lasts forever.

249
17:10:48,815 --> 17:10:51,585
It'd be nice for our children
to be able to go on this train

250
17:10:51,652 --> 17:10:54,655
in another 50 years
and see it the way it is.

251
17:10:54,721 --> 17:10:56,390
It's excellent.

252
17:11:00,227 --> 17:11:02,229
-There are very few places
in the world

253
17:11:02,296 --> 17:11:04,131
where you can literally
step back in time.

254

And I'm at one of them --
East Broad Top Railway

255
17:11:06,867 --> 17:11:08,735
here in Rockhill Furnace,
Pennsylvania.

256
17:11:08,802 --> 17:11:11,872
It is a living time capsule that
the Smithsonian itself described

257
17:11:11,939 --> 17:11:14,408
as one of the most intact
19th-century

258
17:11:14,474 --> 17:11:17,611
industrial sites in the country.

259

Nestled in the lush foothills
of South Central Pennsylvania

260
17:11:23,483 --> 17:11:27,287
lies a diamond in the rough,
a railroaders' heaven,

261
17:11:27,354 --> 17:11:29,523
where you are truly afforded
a glimpse

262
17:11:29,590 --> 17:11:31,592
into our rich railroading past.

17:11:34,928 --> 17:11:36,597
??

265
17:11:39,333 --> 17:11:41,902
-It's just an amazing place

266
17:11:42,302 --> 17:11:44,304
where time is frozen.

267
17:11:45,873 --> 17:11:48,775
There's so few places
where you can see

268
17:11:48,842 --> 17:11:50,878
what a railroad used to be like.

269
17:11:50,944 --> 17:11:54,781
And so much
of the original buildings,

270
17:11:54,848 --> 17:11:56,450
the original equipment,

271
17:11:56,517 --> 17:11:58,418
it's all still here.

272
17:11:59,520 --> 17:12:02,756
-East Broad Top is the oldest
operating narrow-gauge railroad

273
17:12:02,823 --> 17:12:04,391
in the United States.

274
17:12:04,458 --> 17:12:06,460
Started back in 1872,

275
17:12:07,194 --> 17:12:10,364
the railroad has hauled
everything from pig iron, coal,

276
17:12:10,430 --> 17:12:14,801
ganister rock, timber, U.S.
mail, and, of course, people.

277
17:12:14,868 --> 17:12:17,671
They'd come from all corners
of the earth.

278
17:12:17,738 --> 17:12:20,307
-The enormous volume
of traffic

279
17:12:20,374 --> 17:12:24,778
that it carried at its peak
in the 1920s, '30s, '40s.

280
17:12:24,845 --> 17:12:27,648
It was a big railroad in
every way except for its gauge.

281
17:12:27,714 --> 17:12:31,885
It had modern equipment, modern
locomotives, and heavy traffic

282
17:12:31,952 --> 17:12:35,556
that was crucial in World War II
to the national defense.

283
17:12:35,622 --> 17:12:37,624
-The East Broad Top
steam whistles echoed

284
17:12:37,691 --> 17:12:40,360
through these parts
until the mid-1950s,

285
17:12:40,427 --> 17:12:43,397
when the coal business
finally gave out.

286
17:12:43,463 --> 17:12:47,367
-In 1956, the railroad
shut down, and it was simply

287
17:12:47,434 --> 17:12:50,204
pretty much a matter of people
laying down their tools

288
17:12:50,270 --> 17:12:52,039
and going home
and locking the doors.

289
17:12:52,105 --> 17:12:54,875
So it was pretty much
captured in time.

290
17:12:54,942 --> 17:12:57,144
-Like many railroads
at that time that shut down,

291
17:12:57,211 --> 17:12:59,046
it was sold
to a salvage company,

292
17:12:59,112 --> 17:13:00,714
destined to be scrapped.

293
17:13:00,781 --> 17:13:02,816
But this one didn't get torn up.

294
17:13:02,883 --> 17:13:05,552
After the owner of the salvage
company visited the site,

295
17:13:05,619 --> 17:13:07,054
seeing all
the historic equipment

296
17:13:07,120 --> 17:13:08,822
and buildings still intact,

297
17:13:08,889 --> 17:13:11,925
he just couldn't bring himself
to tearing it all down.

298
17:13:11,992 --> 17:13:14,261
-The legend is that
the locomotives were --

299
17:13:14,328 --> 17:13:16,763
He heard the locomotives talking
in the roundhouse that --

300
17:13:16,830 --> 17:13:19,533
you know, who would be
the first one to be scrapped.

301
17:13:19,600 --> 17:13:22,202
And Number 12 said
it was the oldest

302
17:13:22,269 --> 17:13:24,738
and said that she'd go first.

303
17:13:24,805 --> 17:13:26,073
And Mr. Kovalchick came in,

304
17:13:26,139 --> 17:13:28,942
which is Joe's dad,
Nick Kovalchick,

305
17:13:29,009 --> 17:13:30,777
and just didn't have
the heart to do it.

306
17:13:30,844 --> 17:13:32,312
That's the story
that Joe tells,

307
17:13:32,379 --> 17:13:36,583
but I think they saw
the significance of it.

308
17:13:36,650 --> 17:13:37,951
-In February of 2020,

309
17:13:38,018 --> 17:13:41,255
the Kovalchick family passed
the torch to a new owner,

310
17:13:41,321 --> 17:13:44,858
the EBT Foundation, for them
to carry on the vision --

National Historic Landmark.

17:13:47,995 --> 17:13:50,397
-You're preserving
a part of history.

313
17:13:50,464 --> 17:13:52,900
A part of history
that's not sanitized.

314
17:13:52,966 --> 17:13:54,635
It's dirty work.

315
17:13:55,469 --> 17:13:57,571
Everything's, you know,
got a layer of soot

316
17:13:57,638 --> 17:13:59,773
or dust or grease on it.

317
17:14:00,274 --> 17:14:03,076
Yeah, it's -- it's authentic.

318
17:14:04,745 --> 17:14:09,249
-Charles Wooten is part of an
army of over 1,800 volunteers,

319
17:14:09,316 --> 17:14:12,319
all part of the Friends
of the East Broad Top.

320
17:14:12,386 --> 17:14:15,355
Their group plays a key role
in helping restore this railroad

321
17:14:15,422 --> 17:14:18,458
back to its 19th-century glory.

322
17:14:18,525 --> 17:14:20,894
-Rebuilding structures,
reroofing structures,

323
17:14:20,961 --> 17:14:22,296
rebuilding windows.

324
17:14:22,362 --> 17:14:24,331
Basically anything
that the buildings need,

325
17:14:24,398 --> 17:14:25,866
we've got either the expertise,

326
17:14:25,933 --> 17:14:28,001
or we find the expertise
to get it done.

327
17:14:28,068 --> 17:14:30,037
-My God, with the small staff
we've had,

328
17:14:30,103 --> 17:14:33,340
what we have done is truly
nothing short of monumental.

329
17:14:33,407 --> 17:14:36,743
Mains are running cold.
We're good.

330
17:14:36,810 --> 17:14:39,680
-David and his team have
their own monumental task --

331
17:14:39,746 --> 17:14:43,517
to bring back to life
one of EBT's steam engines.

332
17:14:43,584 --> 17:14:46,854
The last time Number 16 operated
was back in 1956

333
17:14:46,920 --> 17:14:48,488
when the railroad shut down.

334
17:14:48,555 --> 17:14:49,823
It was put in the roundhouse
behind me

335
17:14:49,890 --> 17:14:51,225
with the other locomotives,

336
17:14:51,291 --> 17:14:54,127
not sure if it would be scrapped
or ever see service again.

337
17:14:54,194 --> 17:14:55,929
Fast-forward 67 years,

338
17:14:55,996 --> 17:14:58,732
and thanks to the loving efforts
of the EBT to restore it,

339
17:14:58,799 --> 17:15:03,270
she's now back under steam
for all of us to enjoy.

340
17:15:04,805 --> 17:15:08,308
It took just over 2 1/2 years
to complete the rebuild.

341
17:15:08,375 --> 17:15:11,478
-Steam is what makes
the East Broad Top

342
17:15:11,545 --> 17:15:13,714
the East Broad Top.
in many ways.

343
17:15:13,780 --> 17:15:15,315
People have been waiting
a long time

344
17:15:15,382 --> 17:15:17,784
to see steam return
to the East Broad Top.

345
17:15:17,851 --> 17:15:19,853
This is really that --
that moment

346
17:15:19,920 --> 17:15:22,523
that people
have been waiting for.

347
17:15:22,589 --> 17:15:24,358
-Watching this locomotive
in action

348
17:15:24,424 --> 17:15:27,127
is truly a sight to behold.

349
17:15:27,194 --> 17:15:29,263
The steam engine is just
one of many things

350
17:15:29,329 --> 17:15:31,965
the East Broad Top Railroad
has brought back to life.

351
17:15:32,032 --> 17:15:34,001
They also have
over two dozen structures

352
17:15:34,067 --> 17:15:37,538
that have been in or are in
the process of being restored,

353
17:15:37,604 --> 17:15:39,573
along with a fleet
of rolling stock,

354
17:15:39,640 --> 17:15:41,575
including passenger cars,

355
17:15:41,642 --> 17:15:46,446
diesel locomotives,
and gas-electric motorcars.

356
17:15:48,115 --> 17:15:50,317
One of the most fascinating
parts of the collection

357
17:15:50,384 --> 17:15:53,086
is housed inside the depot.

358
17:15:53,153 --> 17:15:55,055
-We are
in the East Broad Top Railroad

359
17:15:55,122 --> 17:15:57,157
passenger station vaults.

360
17:15:57,224 --> 17:16:00,394
These are a series
of bound volumes

361
17:16:00,460 --> 17:16:02,796
that came from the offices
in Philadelphia

362
17:16:02,863 --> 17:16:06,099
after the railroad closed
in 1956.

363
17:16:06,633 --> 17:16:10,003
Above me, the voucher registers,
transfer registers,

364
17:16:10,070 --> 17:16:11,205
everything that
you could imagine.

365
17:16:11,271 --> 17:16:14,374
And the financials
and organizational records

366
17:16:14,441 --> 17:16:16,443
are found right here.

367
17:16:17,611 --> 17:16:21,849
The archives is an estimated
5,000 linear feet of materials,

368
17:16:21,915 --> 17:16:26,453
and these include bound volumes,
ledgers, maps and drawings,

369
17:16:26,520 --> 17:16:29,323
train orders, and all of
the organizational records

370
17:16:29,389 --> 17:16:31,291
of the East Broad Top Railroad.

371
17:16:31,358 --> 17:16:33,026
??

372
17:16:37,364 --> 17:16:40,567
-Everything comes to life here
at East Broad Top Railroad,

373
17:16:40,634 --> 17:16:42,936
including their machine shops,
that are powered through

374
17:16:43,003 --> 17:16:44,938
an amazing array of belts

375
17:16:45,005 --> 17:16:48,942
from a stationary steam engine
that's nearly 200 years old.

376
17:16:49,009 --> 17:16:51,211
-Yeah, it's very simple
to engage the machine.

377
17:16:51,278 --> 17:16:53,747
It just slides the belt
from an idler pulley

378
17:16:53,814 --> 17:16:54,948
to the drive pulley.

379
17:16:55,015 --> 17:16:57,818
And it's just
as simple as moving the lever.

380
17:16:57,885 --> 17:16:59,553
??

381
17:17:10,564 --> 17:17:12,699
[ Train whistle blows ]

382
17:17:14,935 --> 17:17:18,539
-Truly, East Broad Top
is a sprawling museum in motion,

383
17:17:18,605 --> 17:17:19,806
no better appreciated

384
17:17:19,873 --> 17:17:23,010
than hopping on board
one of its vintage trains.

385
17:17:23,076 --> 17:17:24,545
The railroad offers
beautiful rides

386
17:17:24,611 --> 17:17:27,047
through
pastoral Central Pennsylvania,

387
17:17:27,114 --> 17:17:30,017
its postcard beauty pristine
and untouched...

388
17:17:30,083 --> 17:17:33,854
just like all of the East
Broad Top shops and buildings.

389
17:17:33,921 --> 17:17:36,823
The 9-mile round trip
is so rewarding,

390
17:17:36,890 --> 17:17:39,359
both on and off
the narrow tracks.

391
17:17:39,426 --> 17:17:40,827
-It's pretty incredible.

392
17:17:40,894 --> 17:17:43,163
You just don't get to see

393
17:17:43,230 --> 17:17:45,499
stuff like this come back
from the dead.

394
17:17:45,566 --> 17:17:47,301
And that's really what it is.

395
17:17:47,367 --> 17:17:49,469
Most of this stuff gets
scrapped, and that's it.

396
17:17:49,536 --> 17:17:52,139
It's a picture
in Grandpa's scrapbook.

397
17:17:52,206 --> 17:17:54,174
But it's a piece
of local history.

398
17:17:54,241 --> 17:17:56,009
It's a piece of Americana.

399
17:17:56,076 --> 17:18:00,080
This was such a huge part
of America becoming what it is.

400
17:18:00,147 --> 17:18:03,483
And, yeah, I love it.
I'm here for it.

401
17:18:04,484 --> 17:18:07,454
-On a cool winter day
through the bare branches,

402
17:18:07,521 --> 17:18:10,457
Number 16 blasts clouds
into the sky.

403
17:18:10,524 --> 17:18:14,595
Another successful resurrection
by the East Broad Top Railroad.

404
17:18:14,661 --> 17:18:16,997
This is truly
a one-of-a-kind place

405
17:18:17,064 --> 17:18:19,633
and a one-of-a-kind experience.

406
17:18:19,700 --> 17:18:22,669
-There's very few places where
you're continuously

407
17:18:22,736 --> 17:18:27,541
doing something new
at a 150-year-old historic site.

408
17:18:27,608 --> 17:18:31,512
We have the benefit here
of having new old things

409
17:18:31,578 --> 17:18:33,247
happen a lot.

410
17:18:33,747 --> 17:18:35,048
We have lots of firsts.

411
17:18:35,115 --> 17:18:38,418
Today was a first, and we'll
be expanding the railroad

412
17:18:38,485 --> 17:18:41,989
to places that haven't seen
a train since 1956.

413
17:18:42,055 --> 17:18:44,258
New cars, more locomotives.

414
17:18:44,324 --> 17:18:46,860
There's so much that's
gonna come down the pipeline.

like you said, we've been

610
17:28:32,379 --> 17:28:34,848
started out with one carWe

17:28:35,782 --> 17:28:38,118
pieces. So acreage wise,

612
17:28:40,187 --> 17:28:42,322
acres at the place.er 100

613
17:28:42,389 --> 17:28:43,991
now.ow many how many barns

614
17:28:44,057 --> 17:28:46,059
>> Now, this is part of

615
17:28:47,227 --> 17:28:49,997
of the most unique trains.e

616

618
17:28:55,702 --> 17:28:57,938
jump on that train. And I

619
17:28:58,372 --> 17:29:00,707
diesel, electric, every

620
17:29:01,408 --> 17:29:03,644
here. This is much morer

621
17:29:04,811 --> 17:29:07,381
this is a grassroots effort

622
17:29:07,915 --> 17:29:10,250
to be the biggest andto do

623
17:29:11,185 --> 17:29:13,253
America. I mean, it's oneth

624
17:29:13,320 --> 17:29:15,255
I've ever.t experiences

625

that not only are thereow,

629
17:29:26,366 --> 17:29:28,936
sitting in barns, but there

630
17:29:29,703 --> 17:29:32,272
to get the real experience.

631
17:29:32,773 --> 17:29:35,108

Then you got your choice of

746
17:34:36,109 --> 17:34:38,579

747
17:34:39,112 --> 17:34:41,281
mind. Come on board at our

gifts which are exclusive.

750
17:34:45,786 --> 17:34:47,154
So consider making that

751
17:34:47,221 --> 17:34:49,590
folks, PBS Wisconsin isber,

752
17:34:49,656 --> 17:34:52,125
station. It was created by

753
17:34:52,559 --> 17:34:54,895
to be funded for us. Weple

754
17:34:55,562 --> 17:34:57,598
need your vote. We're going

755
17:34:57,664 --> 17:34:59,266
-Our next stop
was once nicknamed

756
17:34:59,333 --> 17:35:00,634
the "Little Switzerland"
of North America

757
17:35:00,701 --> 17:35:02,436
and later
the "Gateway to the Poconos."

758
17:35:02,503 --> 17:35:05,772
I'm here in the historic town
of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania,

759
17:35:05,839 --> 17:35:07,975
home to the Reading
and Blue Northern Railroad,

760
17:35:08,041 --> 17:35:09,576
which gives its passengers
a glimpse

761
17:35:09,643 --> 17:35:12,880
into the rich history
of this area.

762
17:35:15,849 --> 17:35:19,686
This small town is nestled
between deep green forests

763
17:35:19,753 --> 17:35:22,789
just 90 minutes northwest
of Philadelphia.

764
17:35:22,856 --> 17:35:24,925
It was originally
called Mauch Chunk --

765
17:35:24,992 --> 17:35:29,696
a native name meaning
"Mountain of the Sleeping Bear."

766
17:35:29,763 --> 17:35:31,632
But that changed in 1954,

767
17:35:31,698 --> 17:35:33,967
when this became
the final resting place

768
17:35:34,034 --> 17:35:36,303
and the namesake of Jim Thorpe,

769
17:35:36,370 --> 17:35:39,773
the first Native American
U.S. Olympic gold medal winner.

770
17:35:39,840 --> 17:35:44,878
An incredible athlete who also
became a pro football player.

771
17:35:44,945 --> 17:35:47,381
For many, the journey
to Jim Thorpe's yesteryears

772
17:35:47,447 --> 17:35:51,251
begins here at
the beautiful historic depot

773
17:35:51,318 --> 17:35:54,688
with a train ride
blending past and present.

774
17:35:54,755 --> 17:35:59,259
-There was actually a solar
panel next to a telegraph pole.

775
17:35:59,326 --> 17:36:00,694
And to be able to see that

776
17:36:00,761 --> 17:36:03,764
and see how far we've come
with our technology,

777
17:36:03,830 --> 17:36:05,799
but yet trying to preserve
the past

778
17:36:05,866 --> 17:36:08,202
and where we've come from,
is just so important,

779
17:36:08,268 --> 17:36:09,469
and it's so important to know

780
17:36:09,536 --> 17:36:11,538
and learn the stories of people
before us

781
17:36:11,605 --> 17:36:13,373
and appreciate
what they've been through

782
17:36:13,440 --> 17:36:14,675
so that we can live,

783
17:36:14,741 --> 17:36:17,177
hopefully, a richer
and fuller life.

784
17:36:17,244 --> 17:36:20,948
-History is captured
outside and in on this trip.

785
17:36:21,014 --> 17:36:23,317
The Reading and Blue Northern
fleet is a very large

786
17:36:23,383 --> 17:36:27,054
and impressive collection of
freight and passenger equipment.

787
17:36:27,120 --> 17:36:29,356
It includes diesel
and steam locomotives,

788
17:36:29,423 --> 17:36:32,459
along with
beautifully restored cars.

789
17:36:32,526 --> 17:36:34,528
And a back deck perch,

790
17:36:34,895 --> 17:36:37,931
a caboose -- something
that's very rare and unique

791
17:36:37,998 --> 17:36:40,367
to be able to ride in
these days.

792
17:36:40,434 --> 17:36:43,437
-This was our daughters' first
train ride for both of them.

793
17:36:43,504 --> 17:36:46,673
And to experience the joy
on their faces

794
17:36:46,740 --> 17:36:48,208
has been so memorable,

795
17:36:48,275 --> 17:36:52,246
and to see the fall foliage
in combination

796
17:36:52,312 --> 17:36:55,115
with being on this authentic,
historic train

797
17:36:55,182 --> 17:36:57,684
has just been
a great experience.

798
17:36:57,751 --> 17:37:01,221
It's gonna be a memory
that we'll take with us forever.

799
17:37:01,288 --> 17:37:04,658
-Up to six passengers
can have this 1933 caboose

800
17:37:04,725 --> 17:37:06,527
all to themselves.

801
17:37:06,593 --> 17:37:10,230
-Families really enjoy riding
in the caboose. The closeness.

802
17:37:10,297 --> 17:37:12,733
You're not near other people.

803
17:37:12,799 --> 17:37:14,101
They could get together,

804
17:37:14,168 --> 17:37:17,938
sit on the back platform,
look out at the scenery.

805
17:37:18,005 --> 17:37:20,974
They could sit up in the cupola,
look out the windows there.

806
17:37:21,041 --> 17:37:22,943
It's a completely
different experience

807
17:37:23,010 --> 17:37:25,812
than riding in another coach.

808
17:37:27,080 --> 17:37:29,149
-The train's historic cars
are varied

809
17:37:29,216 --> 17:37:32,853
and offer a welcoming spot
for every kind of passenger,

810
17:37:32,920 --> 17:37:35,255
including man's best friend.

811
17:37:35,322 --> 17:37:36,990
-You're very limited
on where you can take dogs.

812
17:37:37,057 --> 17:37:39,359
So it was nice. Everybody
was super-friendly, welcoming.

813
17:37:39,426 --> 17:37:41,828
They've gotten
a ridiculous amount of pets.

814
17:37:41,895 --> 17:37:43,564
Pats, treats.

815
17:37:43,931 --> 17:37:47,634
-The open-air cars are a
favorite for many on this trip.

816
17:37:47,701 --> 17:37:49,703
Your senses come alive here.

817
17:37:49,770 --> 17:37:51,905
-You can feel the air,
you can smell it,

818
17:37:51,972 --> 17:37:54,174
you can see the mountains,
you can see the gorge,

819
17:37:54,241 --> 17:37:55,843
along with, of course,
the history.

820
17:37:55,909 --> 17:37:59,780
So it just brings
all your senses to life.

821
17:37:59,847 --> 17:38:02,349
-The equipment is
one aspect of your journey.

822
17:38:02,416 --> 17:38:04,985
The other is its employees.

823
17:38:05,352 --> 17:38:08,188
-It's a lot of work,
but it's very rewarding.

824
17:38:08,255 --> 17:38:11,892
We enjoy seeing our passengers
having a good time.

825
17:38:11,959 --> 17:38:14,795
Our employees have a good time
doing the job,

826
17:38:14,862 --> 17:38:16,096
making people happy.

827
17:38:16,163 --> 17:38:19,099
We have a car host in each car.

828
17:38:19,166 --> 17:38:20,501
-Here. Hi, guys.
Tickets, please.

829
17:38:20,567 --> 17:38:21,802
-Hey. How are you?

830
17:38:21,869 --> 17:38:24,371
-How are you doing, guys?
-I don't have $10.

831
17:38:24,438 --> 17:38:26,273
-William Solomon spent
many years

832
17:38:26,340 --> 17:38:28,475
as a conductor
on this railroad.

833
17:38:28,542 --> 17:38:32,412
After retiring, his love of the
rails brought him right back,

834
17:38:32,479 --> 17:38:35,148
this time as a car host
and ticket agent.

835
17:38:35,215 --> 17:38:36,650
-It's just so much fun.

836
17:38:36,717 --> 17:38:39,253
I was born in Mauch Chunk, so
I'm what's known as a Chunker.

837
17:38:39,319 --> 17:38:42,422
So I lived here my whole life.
Just the best job in the world.

838
17:38:42,489 --> 17:38:45,158
I live only a mile away,
so it couldn't be any better.

839
17:38:45,225 --> 17:38:46,960
Hope you enjoy your ride.

840
17:38:47,027 --> 17:38:50,030
-Employees on this line
say they love what they do,

841
17:38:50,097 --> 17:38:52,599
perhaps because the railroad
is a part of their past,

842
17:38:52,666 --> 17:38:54,768
as well as their present.

843
17:38:54,835 --> 17:38:56,603
??

844
17:38:56,670 --> 17:38:59,106
-I grew up
in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania,

845
17:38:59,173 --> 17:39:01,074
right along the Reading
and Northern main line.

846
17:39:01,141 --> 17:39:04,778
And I got to ride my bike to
all the crossings and the yard

847
17:39:04,845 --> 17:39:06,180
and get to meet the guys.

848
17:39:06,246 --> 17:39:09,650
And throughout my years
of hanging out in the railroad,

849
17:39:09,716 --> 17:39:11,518
I knew I wanted it
to be a career.

850
17:39:11,585 --> 17:39:13,253
I knew the right people
at the right time.

851
17:39:13,320 --> 17:39:16,757
I applied, and I became
a freight conductor in 2007.

852
17:39:16,823 --> 17:39:19,760
It's -- I've always wanted
to do it. I enjoy doing it.

853
17:39:19,826 --> 17:39:22,829
And every day
is a new adventure.

854
17:39:23,864 --> 17:39:26,099
-I work with the best crew.

855
17:39:26,166 --> 17:39:29,369
I mean, I couldn't get better
people to work with and for.

856
17:39:29,436 --> 17:39:31,538
And I love working
with the passengers

857
17:39:31,605 --> 17:39:35,008
and just being helpful
and giving them some insights

858
17:39:35,075 --> 17:39:39,213
and just having
an exciting time on the train.

859
17:39:39,279 --> 17:39:41,882
-The 70-minute ride
carries you 16 miles

860
17:39:41,949 --> 17:39:45,619
through lush forests,
across the towering bridge

861
17:39:45,686 --> 17:39:48,155
high above
the rambling Lehigh River,

862
17:39:48,222 --> 17:39:51,058
then towards
the Lehigh Gorge State Park

863
17:39:51,124 --> 17:39:53,927
with its beauty
and wildlife.

864
17:39:57,231 --> 17:39:58,498
Passengers can also experience

865
17:39:58,565 --> 17:40:02,002
another part
of railroading -- a runaround.

866
17:40:02,069 --> 17:40:05,439
This is when the engine changes
positions at the halfway point,

867
17:40:05,506 --> 17:40:06,840
moving from the front
of the train

868
17:40:06,907 --> 17:40:09,343
to the rear
for your return trip.

869
17:40:09,409 --> 17:40:10,978
And on the way back,

870
17:40:11,044 --> 17:40:13,180
watch for a different mode
of transport --

871
17:40:13,247 --> 17:40:18,151
cyclists, who can ride up
to 165 miles on this bike path,

872
17:40:18,218 --> 17:40:22,456
which was once the old
Central Railroad of New Jersey.

873
17:40:22,523 --> 17:40:25,025
There are many things to do
and see here in Jim Thorpe,

874
17:40:25,092 --> 17:40:26,460
but one of my favorite
places to come to

875
17:40:26,527 --> 17:40:29,196
is right here at the
Mauch Chunk History Museum.

876
17:40:29,263 --> 17:40:31,198
They have an unbelievable
collection of artifacts

877
17:40:31,265 --> 17:40:34,868
and information detailing
the history of this area.

878
17:40:34,935 --> 17:40:37,771
Including a model
of a switchback railroad

879
17:40:37,838 --> 17:40:41,008
that was once a top tourist
attraction in North America,

880
17:40:41,074 --> 17:40:43,977
second only to Niagara Falls,

881
17:40:44,044 --> 17:40:47,781
all because of an innovative way
to move coal off the mountain.

882
17:40:47,848 --> 17:40:49,883
-Uh, people would get up
to the Switchback Depot,

883
17:40:49,950 --> 17:40:53,954
which is on the heights,
above where we are right now.

884
17:40:54,021 --> 17:40:56,857
They would get on the car,
but there's no power on the car

885
17:40:56,924 --> 17:40:58,525
because the only thing
that's powered

886
17:40:58,592 --> 17:41:02,296
on the Switchback Gravity
Railroad is the barney car.

887
17:41:02,362 --> 17:41:06,099
Once the car got to the top,
the barney car would stop,

888
17:41:06,166 --> 17:41:08,769
but the passenger car
would start falling

889
17:41:08,836 --> 17:41:11,839
just with the force of gravity,
picking up speed

890
17:41:11,905 --> 17:41:15,242
until it was going
50 miles per hour.

891
17:41:15,876 --> 17:41:19,980
Nothing on Earth went
50 miles per hour in the 1840s.

892
17:41:20,047 --> 17:41:22,482
-The Switchback drew people
from around the world,

893
17:41:22,549 --> 17:41:24,585
including four presidents.

894
17:41:24,651 --> 17:41:26,019
It's long gone now,

895
17:41:26,086 --> 17:41:29,289
but trains remain a focal point
here in Jim Thorpe...

896
17:41:29,356 --> 17:41:32,359
a reminder
of when coal was king.

897
17:41:33,660 --> 17:41:37,231
Mauch Chunk. Jim Thorpe.
Then and now.

898
17:41:37,865 --> 17:41:40,667
A place where the past
and present come together

899
17:41:40,734 --> 17:41:42,336
in fascinating layers.

900
17:41:42,402 --> 17:41:44,538
-I think we need this.

901
17:41:44,605 --> 17:41:46,373
Yeah, definitely.
[ Laughs ]

902
17:41:46,440 --> 17:41:48,375
I would hope
to keep this forever --

903
17:41:48,442 --> 17:41:51,812
the train, preserve the nature
around, everything.

904
17:41:51,879 --> 17:41:55,549
-To experience the history
of Jim Thorpe and the train,

905
17:41:55,616 --> 17:42:00,254
and just to take in
all of everything that this is,

906
17:42:00,320 --> 17:42:02,322
it's been a great experience.

907
17:42:02,389 --> 17:42:04,057
??

908
17:42:08,295 --> 17:42:10,864
-Our next stop is here
in Northwest Wisconsin,

909
17:42:10,931 --> 17:42:14,234
where the air is so fresh, here
in the legendary Northwoods.

910
17:42:14,301 --> 17:42:16,637
We're about to introduce you
to a determined family

911
17:42:16,703 --> 17:42:18,372
that never says "we can't."

912
17:42:18,438 --> 17:42:20,541
And over the last 25 years,
they have created

913
17:42:20,607 --> 17:42:24,077
some of the most unique
rail venues in North America.

914
17:42:24,144 --> 17:42:26,513
-Thank you.
[ Indistinct conversations ]

915
17:42:26,580 --> 17:42:29,917
-Dining, lounge,
and sleeping cars

916
17:42:31,385 --> 17:42:34,955
bring back fond memories
of America's railroad past,

917
17:42:35,022 --> 17:42:39,893
mostly only seen in history
books and old movies today.

918
17:42:39,960 --> 17:42:42,429
But a family in the small town
of Trego, Wisconsin,

919
17:42:42,496 --> 17:42:44,565
have re-created
parts of that era,

920
17:42:44,631 --> 17:42:47,167
along with introducing
an array of new venues,

921
17:42:47,234 --> 17:42:50,571
to catch the imagination
of current generations.

922
17:42:50,637 --> 17:42:53,674
-What you'll find here
at the Wisconsin Great Northern

923
17:42:53,740 --> 17:42:56,677
is absolutely unique
in the industry.

924
17:42:56,743 --> 17:42:59,379
Different services,
different equipment.

925
17:42:59,446 --> 17:43:01,748
Every time you come back,

926
17:43:01,815 --> 17:43:07,487
I can pretty much guarantee
it'll be a different experience.

927
17:43:07,788 --> 17:43:09,656
-Different than any other
tourist railroad

928
17:43:09,723 --> 17:43:10,891
in North America

929
17:43:10,958 --> 17:43:13,627
when you experience
all the venues they offer,

930
17:43:13,694 --> 17:43:16,730
with wine tastings
and a historic dome car,

931
17:43:16,797 --> 17:43:21,068
pizza trains for the kids,
fine dining for the adults,

932
17:43:21,134 --> 17:43:23,537
a one-of-a-kind
bed-and-breakfast,

933
17:43:23,604 --> 17:43:26,306
and on the horizon are
a restoration of a streamliner

934
17:43:26,373 --> 17:43:28,942
that seemed more
a sky-flying rocket ship

935
17:43:29,009 --> 17:43:30,911
than railroad-bound.

936
17:43:30,978 --> 17:43:35,315
-People want something
unique to experience.

937
17:43:35,883 --> 17:43:39,820
And so that's what we're trying
to present to the public,

938
17:43:39,887 --> 17:43:43,290
is a unique opportunity that
they can't get anyplace else,

939
17:43:43,357 --> 17:43:45,826
whether it be by the service
we provide

940
17:43:45,893 --> 17:43:47,895
or by the equipment
that we operate,

941
17:43:47,961 --> 17:43:50,998
that it's different
from everybody else.

942
17:43:51,064 --> 17:43:52,633
-The Wisconsin Great
Northern Railroad

943
17:43:52,699 --> 17:43:55,202
has been running since 1997.

944
17:43:55,269 --> 17:43:58,305
In those early days,
it was a multitask operation

945
17:43:58,372 --> 17:44:00,007
running on fumes.

946
17:44:00,073 --> 17:44:04,111
-There were times when we just
simply didn't have the money,

947
17:44:04,178 --> 17:44:06,880
and she'd sell tickets
in the ticket office, hand me

948
17:44:06,947 --> 17:44:10,918
20 bucks out of the till.
I'd run to the gas station

949
17:44:10,984 --> 17:44:12,886
and get 15 gallons
of diesel fuel,

950
17:44:12,953 --> 17:44:15,055
drive around the back side
of the train, and pour it in.

951
17:44:15,122 --> 17:44:18,458
And that was enough
to make the trip.

952
17:44:19,026 --> 17:44:21,461
-Sheer persistence
helped the railroad grow,

953
17:44:21,528 --> 17:44:24,598
along with the elimination
of a certain word.

954
17:44:24,665 --> 17:44:26,500
-There is no such word
as "can't."

955
17:44:26,567 --> 17:44:28,268
You may say, "Oh, I can't."

956
17:44:28,335 --> 17:44:30,170
Well, you just find
a way to do.

957
17:44:30,237 --> 17:44:34,341
And so it might be a convoluted
way of doing something,

958
17:44:34,408 --> 17:44:37,411
but you try your darndest
to find a way to get it done.

959
17:44:37,477 --> 17:44:39,513
-I don't recognize
the word "can't."

960
17:44:39,580 --> 17:44:40,914
Don't tell me it can't be done

961
17:44:40,981 --> 17:44:45,219
because we'll show you
how fast it can be done.

962
17:44:46,887 --> 17:44:48,689
-Greg and Mardell's son,
Alexander,

963
17:44:48,755 --> 17:44:51,358
has grown up around trains
his whole life,

964
17:44:51,425 --> 17:44:53,260
and because of that,
he bluntly dismisses

965
17:44:53,327 --> 17:44:55,329
more popular teen pursuits.

966
17:44:55,395 --> 17:44:57,731
-Cars suck. Trains rule.

967
17:44:59,099 --> 17:45:01,702
And sports are overrated.

968
17:45:01,768 --> 17:45:04,838
All right. We are now coming
into the Namekagon River

969
17:45:04,905 --> 17:45:06,807
and Veazie Springs.

970
17:45:07,774 --> 17:45:08,976
-Like his parents,

971
17:45:09,042 --> 17:45:11,812
Alexander wears a lot of hats
on this railroad.

972
17:45:11,879 --> 17:45:15,983
Tonight, he's a server
and is impressing his guests.

973
17:45:16,049 --> 17:45:17,851
-He was an anomaly.

974
17:45:19,353 --> 17:45:21,455
An amazing young man.

975
17:45:21,522 --> 17:45:25,359
-Yeah, another day
of Alexander fan club.

976
17:45:25,425 --> 17:45:28,428
-You see a little bit
of that funny, ha-ha sarcasm.

977
17:45:28,495 --> 17:45:31,431
He's always learned sarcasm.
He's learned it good.

978
17:45:31,498 --> 17:45:35,969
I like to describe him
as my 83-year-old farmer.

979
17:45:36,770 --> 17:45:40,140
He is very straight-faced
around people

980
17:45:40,207 --> 17:45:42,643
he doesn't necessarily know.

981
17:45:42,709 --> 17:45:43,777
-Just a sponge.

982
17:45:43,844 --> 17:45:46,313
He just picks up data
and information

983
17:45:46,380 --> 17:45:47,981
about the various pieces
of equipment

984
17:45:48,048 --> 17:45:49,850
like I can't even imagine.

985
17:45:49,917 --> 17:45:53,520
He knows more about
the equipment than I do.

986
17:45:53,587 --> 17:45:56,623
-The family stays very busy
doing a variety of jobs

987
17:45:56,690 --> 17:45:58,992
for each of its unique trips.

988
17:45:59,059 --> 17:46:01,461
There is one constant
in all of them, though --

989
17:46:01,528 --> 17:46:06,099
experiencing the splendor and
beauty of the Great Northwoods.

990
17:46:06,166 --> 17:46:08,502
-You can't beat the view.
It's so beautiful in the fall,

991
17:46:08,569 --> 17:46:13,040
especially when the tamaracks
start to change.

992
17:46:13,106 --> 17:46:16,543
-Through the pastoral
landscape and deep woods, guests

993
17:46:16,610 --> 17:46:19,546
take in all the beauty
this trip offers.

994
17:46:19,613 --> 17:46:22,382
One of the favorite spots
is so serene and peaceful,

995
17:46:22,449 --> 17:46:25,085
the train comes to a stop
to allow all

996
17:46:25,152 --> 17:46:29,256
to take in the natural wonders
of the Namekagon River.

997
17:46:29,323 --> 17:46:32,392
-When we stopped
at the watershed earlier,

998
17:46:32,459 --> 17:46:35,662
we just thought it was like
someone had painted the sky

999
17:46:35,729 --> 17:46:36,930
and the brush.

1000
17:46:36,997 --> 17:46:39,466
Like, it was just so beautiful
with the sunset

1001
17:46:39,533 --> 17:46:41,001
and the moon over top.

1002
17:46:41,068 --> 17:46:44,872
I just love every moment of it,
honestly.

1003
17:46:46,173 --> 17:46:48,242
-And what could add
to these moments?

1004
17:46:48,308 --> 17:46:49,576
How about a meal prepared

1005
17:46:49,643 --> 17:46:52,546
and served in your own
private dining room?

1006
17:46:52,613 --> 17:46:54,381
-The dinner was amazing.

1007
17:46:54,448 --> 17:46:57,050
It was just beyond expectations,
honestly,

1008
17:46:57,117 --> 17:46:59,086
to get to spend time
with family here,

1009
17:46:59,152 --> 17:47:02,956
to look out and see
this painterly landscape

1010
17:47:03,023 --> 17:47:06,994
that just glistens
and is golden with autumn light.

1011
17:47:07,060 --> 17:47:09,863
I just love every moment of it.

1012
17:47:13,133 --> 17:47:15,435
-Fine dining is just
one of the many options here

1013
17:47:15,502 --> 17:47:17,137
on the Wisconsin
Great Northern Railroad.

1014
17:47:17,204 --> 17:47:18,639
-Here's your pepperoni pizza,
Mr. Van Camp.

1015
17:47:18,705 --> 17:47:21,475
-Thank you, Jose.
The other is their pizza train,

1016
17:47:21,542 --> 17:47:23,810
and it is definitely
a hit with families.

1017
17:47:23,877 --> 17:47:26,380
-It's very unique.
The kids love it.

1018
17:47:26,446 --> 17:47:27,681
They get to go on a train,

1019
17:47:27,748 --> 17:47:29,483
and they get to have
their favorite meal.

1020
17:47:29,550 --> 17:47:32,319
They are cheeseaholics,
being from Wisconsin.

1021
17:47:32,386 --> 17:47:33,453
[ Laughs ]

1022
17:47:33,520 --> 17:47:35,522
It's very nice to have --

1023
17:47:35,589 --> 17:47:39,993
have this here and keep that
in our culture.

1024
17:47:40,060 --> 17:47:41,295
-Speaking of culture,

1025
17:47:41,361 --> 17:47:43,096
the Wisconsin
Great Northern Railroad

1026
17:47:43,163 --> 17:47:46,900
also offers a sophisticated
wine and cheese pairing trip

1027
17:47:46,967 --> 17:47:50,537
aboard the Sky Parlour,
a 1956 dome car

1028
17:47:51,104 --> 17:47:53,941
that was once part
of the famed <i>El Capitan</i>

1029
17:47:54,007 --> 17:47:56,977
that operated from Chicago
to Los Angeles

1030
17:47:57,044 --> 17:47:58,879
on the Santa Fe Railroad.

1031
17:47:58,946 --> 17:48:01,415
-It's definitely
a rolling piece of history.

1032
17:48:01,481 --> 17:48:03,517
It's really neat to be
on something like this.

1033
17:48:03,584 --> 17:48:06,453
Unique experience, for sure.
The wine was great.

1034
17:48:06,520 --> 17:48:10,390
The train ride experience
was awesome.

1035
17:48:10,457 --> 17:48:13,193
-The various train rides
run about 2 1/2 hours.

1036
17:48:13,260 --> 17:48:15,963
And for many guests,
they can't bear to leave.

1037
17:48:16,029 --> 17:48:17,698
So leave it
to the Wisconsin Great Northern

1038
17:48:17,764 --> 17:48:20,200
to offer something
for them to stay --

1039
17:48:20,267 --> 17:48:23,604
a unique experience with
their bed-and-breakfast package,

1040
17:48:23,670 --> 17:48:26,306
where delighted travelers
ride and dine

1041
17:48:26,373 --> 17:48:29,510
and get to sleep overnight
in their historic cars.

1042
17:48:29,576 --> 17:48:31,678
-It way exceeded
my expectations.

1043
17:48:31,745 --> 17:48:33,747
It was first-class all the way.

1044
17:48:33,814 --> 17:48:35,015
The staff was awesome.

1045
17:48:35,082 --> 17:48:36,383
Last night's supper --

1046
17:48:36,450 --> 17:48:39,386
The hors d'oeuvres, the drinks,
the food was awesome

1047
17:48:39,453 --> 17:48:41,622
all the way to the end,
to the dessert.

1048
17:48:41,688 --> 17:48:43,090
Then we had
our own sleeping car.

1049
17:48:43,156 --> 17:48:44,658
It was awesome.
[ Laughs ]

1050
17:48:44,725 --> 17:48:48,428
And it was a queen-sized bed.
First-class, first-rate.

1051
17:48:48,495 --> 17:48:49,663
-After a restful night's sleep

1052
17:48:49,730 --> 17:48:51,298
in one of the beautiful
railcar suites,

1053
17:48:51,365 --> 17:48:53,500
guests awake
to the wonderful smells

1054
17:48:53,567 --> 17:48:55,135
of a country cooked breakfast,

1055
17:48:55,202 --> 17:48:58,605
compliments of Chef Greg,
truly a Renaissance man.

1056
17:48:58,672 --> 17:49:00,040
Mmm.

1057
17:49:00,107 --> 17:49:01,775
Mmm-mmm-mmm.

1058
17:49:03,277 --> 17:49:06,880
-We believe that we are
continuing to create the history

1059
17:49:06,947 --> 17:49:09,016
of these pieces
of rolling stock.

1060
17:49:09,082 --> 17:49:12,619
100 years from now, hopefully
these cars will still be here

1061
17:49:12,686 --> 17:49:15,923
and still be usable
because of our efforts.

1062
17:49:15,989 --> 17:49:18,225
-Of course
I'm proud of all of this.

1063
17:49:18,292 --> 17:49:19,760
How could you not
be proud of it?

1064
17:49:19,826 --> 17:49:23,463
'Cause if I weren't proud of it,
I wouldn't be a part of it.

1065
17:49:23,530 --> 17:49:26,099
-Thanks to Greg and Mardell
and Alexander,

1066
17:49:26,166 --> 17:49:27,901
along with the rest
of their staff,

1067
17:49:27,968 --> 17:49:31,705
you can be a part
of something very special --

1068
17:49:31,772 --> 17:49:34,975
experiences that are created
by a dedicated family,

1069
17:49:35,042 --> 17:49:38,846
preserving and presenting many
one-of-a-kind railroad journeys

1070
17:49:38,912 --> 17:49:41,515
deep in the Northwoods
of Wisconsin.

1071
17:49:41,582 --> 17:49:43,250
??

1072
17:49:46,086 --> 17:49:49,089
Next stop takes me here,
to the Oregon Coast

1073
17:49:49,156 --> 17:49:51,291
in the beautiful town
of Rockaway Beach,

1074
17:49:51,358 --> 17:49:52,860
home to Engine Number 25.

1075
17:49:52,926 --> 17:49:54,595
We're gonna
introduce you to it,

1076
17:49:54,661 --> 17:49:56,530
the people that run it,
and take you through some of

1077
17:49:56,597 --> 17:49:58,699
the most beautiful scenery
in this part of the country.

1078
17:49:58,765 --> 17:49:59,933
??

1079
17:50:00,000 --> 17:50:01,668
[ Bell clanging ]

1080
17:50:03,971 --> 17:50:06,206
The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad
is a rarity

1081
17:50:06,273 --> 17:50:07,975
in the tourist railroad world --

1082
17:50:08,041 --> 17:50:12,479
a breathtaking journey
by steam along the sea.

1083
17:50:12,546 --> 17:50:16,517
-The absolute beauty
and the relaxation of it.

1084
17:50:16,583 --> 17:50:18,151
This is just what God created

1085
17:50:18,218 --> 17:50:20,754
out here in this beautiful
country here of the Northwest,

1086
17:50:20,821 --> 17:50:23,891
and we're just enjoying
every minute of it.

1087
17:50:23,957 --> 17:50:25,692
-You really
can't ask for better.

1088
17:50:25,759 --> 17:50:27,728
We have views of the bay,
of the ocean.

1089
17:50:27,794 --> 17:50:29,596
But then you turn around
and you look on the other side,

1090
17:50:29,663 --> 17:50:32,432
and there's mountains
that take up the skyline.

1091
17:50:32,499 --> 17:50:35,469
And even then,
you see people waving

1092
17:50:35,536 --> 17:50:37,638
and walking by, and it's --

1093
17:50:37,704 --> 17:50:40,207
You can't ask for better.
You really can't.

1094
17:50:40,274 --> 17:50:42,910
-True, you can see the ocean
from your car,

1095
17:50:42,976 --> 17:50:47,080
but nothing compares
to skirting the sea on steam.

1096
17:50:47,147 --> 17:50:48,615
One of the highlights
of the trip

1097
17:50:48,682 --> 17:50:51,852
is the legendary sea stack
called The Three Graces.

1098
17:50:51,919 --> 17:50:53,620
-Just something about them

1099
17:50:53,687 --> 17:50:55,923
when you come around that corner
and you see them there.

1100
17:50:55,989 --> 17:50:59,092
You know, Arch Rock, it's
its own enclosed ecosystem.

1101
17:50:59,159 --> 17:51:01,161
It has trees and plants
that are thriving there,

1102
17:51:01,228 --> 17:51:04,298
even though it's completely cut
off from the rest of the land.

1103
17:51:04,364 --> 17:51:06,533
The Three Graces themselves,
each of

1104
17:51:06,600 --> 17:51:10,003
the individual rocks,
all of them are bird habitats

1105
17:51:10,070 --> 17:51:12,940
where birds come
and roost on them.

1106
17:51:13,006 --> 17:51:15,375
-Just the scenery
and the ocean

1107
17:51:15,442 --> 17:51:18,946
and the -- the nice clear air
that's out here.

1108
17:51:19,012 --> 17:51:22,850
Where we're from in Arizona,
it's over 100 degrees.

1109
17:51:22,916 --> 17:51:28,222
It's just nice to be out of that
in some -- some fresh air.

1110
17:51:28,288 --> 17:51:30,991
-This historic railroad
travels the ocean's edge

experiences for yourle

18:13:35,782 --> 18:13:38,051
Take them out and ride the

1583
18:13:38,118 --> 18:13:40,721
trains coming up. We'remore

1584
18:13:40,787 --> 18:13:43,056
-Rich Civil War history,
beautiful mountain scenery,

1585
18:13:43,123 --> 18:13:45,225
the American bald eagle,
and a luxury train

1586
18:13:45,292 --> 18:13:46,793
that lets you take it all in.

1587
18:13:46,860 --> 18:13:48,328
We're about to experience
all of that

1588
18:13:48,395 --> 18:13:50,230
on the Potomac Eagle
Scenic Railway

1589
18:13:50,297 --> 18:13:53,200
here in Romney, West Virginia.

1590
18:13:53,934 --> 18:13:55,636
Bald eagle nests
were first spotted

1591
18:13:55,702 --> 18:13:58,372
here back in the early 1980s.

1592
18:13:58,772 --> 18:14:01,175
In the decades since,
this discovery has helped create

1593
18:14:01,241 --> 18:14:03,510
one of the most immersive
railway adventures

1594
18:14:03,577 --> 18:14:05,212
in the country.

1595
18:14:05,279 --> 18:14:06,713
We've seen a lot of them --

1596
18:14:06,780 --> 18:14:09,783
I think probably 20
to 25 eagles.

1597
18:14:10,284 --> 18:14:11,985
It's the natural environment
for them.

1598
18:14:12,052 --> 18:14:14,054
It's been fantastic.

1599
18:14:14,688 --> 18:14:17,624
-The highlight of the trip
is always the eagles,

1600
18:14:17,691 --> 18:14:19,893
because the first thing
that people ask us

1601
18:14:19,960 --> 18:14:22,095
when they come up
to get on the train

1602
18:14:22,162 --> 18:14:24,464
is, "When will we see
the eagles?"

1603
18:14:24,531 --> 18:14:29,269
And we have to say, "We never
know where they'll be."

1604
18:14:29,336 --> 18:14:31,839
-There's an eagle across
the river on the left

1605
18:14:31,905 --> 18:14:34,975
about a half a train length
ahead of the engine,

50 feet up
in that bald tree. Over.

1607

-Train engineers on
the lookout for bald eagles?

1608
18:14:41,048 --> 18:14:43,684
Clearly, this is
no ordinary rail journey.

1609
18:14:43,750 --> 18:14:46,353
Since 1991, the Potomac
Eagle Scenic Railroad

1610
18:14:46,420 --> 18:14:51,191
has been taking people deep
into the Shenandoah Valley.

1611
18:14:51,258 --> 18:14:55,195
Locals love to ride this train
and talk about its rich history.

1612
18:14:55,262 --> 18:14:58,031
-Track goes in areas
that aren't close to the roads,

1613
18:14:58,098 --> 18:15:00,834
so you get a chance
to see houses and homes

1614
18:15:00,901 --> 18:15:02,636
that you wouldn't
ordinarily see

1615
18:15:02,703 --> 18:15:04,104
if you're driving around.

1616
18:15:04,171 --> 18:15:06,173
Like, our house here,

1617
18:15:06,940 --> 18:15:09,343
you know, we had
the 7th Virginia camp there

1618
18:15:09,409 --> 18:15:10,711
during the Civil War.

1619
18:15:10,777 --> 18:15:13,947
We had Ashby die -- you know,
die in our house there.

1620
18:15:14,014 --> 18:15:17,918
So it just gives you
a chance to see history

1621
18:15:18,418 --> 18:15:22,890
that you wouldn't see normally
here just by driving around.

1622

-Intimately, the train weaves

1623
18:15:24,691 --> 18:15:28,495
through the small towns
and historic farmlands.

1624
18:15:28,562 --> 18:15:31,865
Passengers become new neighbors.

1625
18:15:31,932 --> 18:15:34,501
And friendly waves abound.

1626
18:15:37,171 --> 18:15:39,740
You travel
a leisurely 10 miles an hour

upon a steady
clickety-clack of track.

watching the river
in this area and going back

1630

the history of the railroad

1631

-Oh, it's like
traveling back in time.

1635

You know, you --
It's a slower pace

1636
18:16:06,800 --> 18:16:09,770
'cause
your everyday life is just like,

1637

boom, boom, boom.
You're running, running.

1638
18:16:11,505 --> 18:16:14,641
And when you get on a train,
it's just like things

1639
18:16:14,708 --> 18:16:18,412

[ Train horn blares ]

1641
18:16:23,617 --> 18:16:25,118
-One of the highlights
on this trip

1642
18:16:25,185 --> 18:16:28,555
is the crossing
of the Sycamore Bridge.

1643
18:16:28,622 --> 18:16:31,458
It provides expansive views
down the river valley.

1644
18:16:31,525 --> 18:16:34,361
It's also a place where one
of the largest natural disasters

1645
18:16:34,428 --> 18:16:38,765
happened on this line
back on November 4, 1985.

1646
18:16:39,633 --> 18:16:44,004
Torrential rainfall dumped over
6 inches in a 12-hour period,

1647
18:16:44,071 --> 18:16:48,141
washing everything in its path
downriver to this bridge.

1648
18:16:48,208 --> 18:16:51,778
The debris trapped by it
caused the water to dam up.

1649
18:16:51,845 --> 18:16:53,714
The immense water pressure
pushed this bridge

1650
18:16:53,780 --> 18:16:56,650
to its breaking point,
creating a wall of water

1651
18:16:56,717 --> 18:16:59,253
that destroyed
everything in its path.

1652
18:16:59,319 --> 18:17:04,491
-In the trough, the -- the water
rose over 60 feet high.

1653
18:17:04,558 --> 18:17:08,462
It poured into sector
at 100 miles an hour.

1654
18:17:09,630 --> 18:17:12,065
And the state
almost abandoned the railroad

1655
18:17:12,132 --> 18:17:15,469
because the trestles were gone,
and in the trough,

1656
18:17:15,536 --> 18:17:19,606
the rails actually
hung like suspension bridges.

1657
18:17:19,673 --> 18:17:22,042
-The railroad seemed damaged
beyond repair,

1658
18:17:22,109 --> 18:17:24,811
but the state of West Virginia
knew it was too vital of a line

1659
18:17:24,878 --> 18:17:28,815
for commerce and tourism
and rebuilt it.

1660
18:17:28,882 --> 18:17:31,818
By doing so, it's helped
save a part of history

1661
18:17:31,885 --> 18:17:34,922
and continued a magical gateway.

1662
18:17:34,988 --> 18:17:37,991
-It's just cool.
And then to know that

1663
18:17:38,058 --> 18:17:41,962
there's only three ways in --
you know, through the river,

1664
18:17:42,029 --> 18:17:45,966

You know, that's kind of cool.

1665
18:17:46,033 --> 18:17:49,469
-The only thing in that trough
is the Potomac River,

1666
18:17:49,536 --> 18:17:51,538
the railroad, and the eagles,

1667
18:17:51,605 --> 18:17:53,106
so it's just great.

1668
18:17:53,173 --> 18:17:57,611
It's the most fabulous scenery

Our top service
is the Superior service.

That's our club cars.

We have two of those cars, and
we seat from 32 to 38 people.

gives people the experience
of eating on the train.

1683
18:18:38,619 --> 18:18:43,323
We feel like we needed to add
more than just a coach ride.

1684
18:18:43,390 --> 18:18:45,559
-And some of the railroad's
recent acquisitions

1685
18:18:45,626 --> 18:18:47,961
helped them accomplish that.

1686
18:18:48,028 --> 18:18:49,796
-Well, we have
two dining cars --

1687
18:18:49,863 --> 18:18:53,166
one, an ex-Southern Railway
dining car, and a second car

1688
18:18:53,233 --> 18:18:56,036
that was
a Southern Pacific dining car.

1689
18:18:56,103 --> 18:18:58,672
Those two cars provide us
the kitchen space

1690
18:18:58,739 --> 18:19:01,875
that we need in order
to prepare the food

1691
18:19:01,942 --> 18:19:04,545
to be able to distribute it
throughout the train front

place to spot the bald eagles.

Bill, you know, when I
when I look at you,

1760
18:22:08,462 --> 18:22:10,898

boarding me on my train.

up higher than all the others.

that this rail journey

1779

on the Western Maryland
Scenic Railroad,

1780
18:22:59,112 --> 18:23:00,948
you got to take
one of their dome cars.

1781
18:23:01,014 --> 18:23:02,583
As you can see,
it's a panoramic view

1782
18:23:02,649 --> 18:23:03,817
everywhere you look.

1783
18:23:03,884 --> 18:23:05,319
-What I like about the dome car
is the fact

1784
18:23:05,385 --> 18:23:07,287
that you can see
so much more.

1785

You can see in front of you.
You can see behind you.

You can see up, the skies,
the clouds.

It's such a lovely day
with the white clouds

That's the marketing phrase

The 32-mile round trip
from Cumberland

passing by Lover's Leap,

1794
18:23:31,645 --> 18:23:34,648
skirting past
the mysterious Bone Cave,

1795

plunging 916 feet into
mountain tunnel darkness,

1796
18:23:38,986 --> 18:23:40,621
and, of course,
the legendary bend

1797
18:23:40,687 --> 18:23:42,689
at the famous
Helmstetter's Curve --

1798
18:23:42,756 --> 18:23:45,325
one of the most treasured
train photo opportunities

1799
18:23:45,392 --> 18:23:47,528
in the world.
-So Helmstetter's Curve,

1800
18:23:47,594 --> 18:23:49,730
is -- is unique because
it's a horseshoe curve.

1801
18:23:49,796 --> 18:23:52,933
If all the trees were cleared,
you could see the entire train

1802

from one side of the curve
all the way around the farm

and all the way
headed up the mountain.

1804

It's really where
the grade picks up.

1805
18:23:59,206 --> 18:24:01,108
It's really impressive
to be riding in the train,

1806
18:24:01,175 --> 18:24:03,577
and you can look out and see the
steam engine pulling you around,

1807
18:24:03,644 --> 18:24:05,012
and you're almost
parallel to it.

1808
18:24:05,078 --> 18:24:06,346
It's kind of cool.

1809

-There's a lot of reasons
to bring a camera

1810
18:24:08,182 --> 18:24:09,550
when going on this trip,

1811

not only for the beauty
and history outside your window,

1812
18:24:12,386 --> 18:24:14,855
but also inside
the train as well.

1813
18:24:14,922 --> 18:24:16,523
This is definitely
a first for me

1814
18:24:16,590 --> 18:24:18,926
in my 30 years.
I've never been on a train

1815
18:24:18,992 --> 18:24:20,794
that has a barbershop in it.

1816

Bill has done a tremendous job
re-creating

1817
18:24:23,130 --> 18:24:25,666
what it really was like to ride
on these trains

1818
18:24:25,732 --> 18:24:27,167
back in the '50s.

1819
18:24:27,234 --> 18:24:30,137
-That was the -- the zenith
of services

1820
18:24:30,204 --> 18:24:34,675
offered on the great
first-class trains of old.

1821
18:24:34,741 --> 18:24:38,045
And I thought, "Wow,
this is the car I want."

1822
18:24:38,111 --> 18:24:41,748
-Oh, it's a throwback to the
golden age of train travel.

1823
18:24:41,815 --> 18:24:45,419
The '50s were the highlight
of train travel,

1824
18:24:45,485 --> 18:24:48,422
and this car
is impeccably restored.

1825
18:24:48,488 --> 18:24:51,725
It is like riding
in a time machine.

1826
18:24:53,126 --> 18:24:55,929
-Now, while the barber chair
is an interesting photo op,

1827
18:24:55,996 --> 18:24:59,099
the biggest star is literally
at the front of the train.

1828
18:24:59,166 --> 18:25:03,737
-The 1309 is the largest steam
locomotive on the East Coast.

1829
18:25:03,804 --> 18:25:05,105
It's a wonderful thing --

1830
18:25:05,172 --> 18:25:06,907
the years and years
they spent on restoration

1831
18:25:06,974 --> 18:25:10,444
and just the enthusiasm,
the talent that we have here,

1832

the skill.

1833
18:25:12,579 --> 18:25:14,915
-This locomotive has been
named the "Beast of the East"

1834
18:25:14,982 --> 18:25:18,185
for a very good reason.
Look how big it is. It's huge.

1835
18:25:18,252 --> 18:25:20,754
And it was specifically built
to haul out the coal

1836
18:25:20,821 --> 18:25:24,124
out of the West Virginia
and Kentucky mountains.

1837
18:25:24,191 --> 18:25:27,661
It took the railroad seven years
to rebuild the 1309.

1838
18:25:27,728 --> 18:25:30,898

of that accomplishment and enjoy

about this locomotive
with its patrons.

-This is the boiler.
-Okay.

-All right? At the
at the other end of the boiler

is the firebox.

1844

It's a chamber
that is surrounded by water.

how the wheels were turned.

They're loud.

And they have so many parts,

I understand, because
it's pretty mechanical.

1850

You know, there's water,

1851
18:25:59,726 --> 18:26:01,662
and there's coal,
and there's fire.

1852
18:26:01,728 --> 18:26:04,164
And the steam turns
the wheels,

1853
18:26:04,231 --> 18:26:06,800
and you can kind of see
all the parts.

of her kind operating

18:28:12,693 --> 18:28:15,095
I'm here in old Santa Fe,
New Mexico,

1900
18:28:15,162 --> 18:28:16,430
about to take a journey
that's filled

1901
18:28:16,496 --> 18:28:18,799
with entertainment,
great food, music,

1902
18:28:18,866 --> 18:28:22,536
along
with some breathtaking scenery.

1903
18:28:24,505 --> 18:28:27,574
It seems like a ride through
a Hollywood movie set

1904
18:28:27,641 --> 18:28:29,643
on a giant steel dragon

1905
18:28:29,710 --> 18:28:33,080
snaking its way across
the beautiful Desert Southwest.

1906
18:28:33,146 --> 18:28:34,615
But this is more than a scene.

1907
18:28:34,681 --> 18:28:37,150
It's a story that you're
a part of as you ride

1908
18:28:37,217 --> 18:28:38,485
the Sky Railway through

1909
18:28:38,552 --> 18:28:42,022
one of the most picturesque
landscapes in America.

1910
18:28:42,089 --> 18:28:44,324
The vivid characters
that decorate the train

1911
18:28:44,391 --> 18:28:46,527
come from the mind
of one of its owners,

1912
18:28:46,593 --> 18:28:48,228
George R. R. Martin,

1913
18:28:48,295 --> 18:28:50,898
the author and producer
behind the "Game of Thrones"

1914
18:28:50,964 --> 18:28:53,400
and other blockbuster hits.

1915
18:28:53,467 --> 18:28:56,236
-The only thing
George requested was a wolf

1916
18:28:56,303 --> 18:28:57,504
and a dragon.

1917
18:28:57,571 --> 18:29:01,909
That is an ode to his creation
of "Fire and Ice."

1918
18:29:03,076 --> 18:29:04,478
-It was the largest project

1919
18:29:04,545 --> 18:29:07,648
that artist Joerael Numina
had ever done,

1920
18:29:07,714 --> 18:29:11,318
taking him around 9 months
and 700 cans

1921
18:29:11,385 --> 18:29:13,320
of spray paint to complete.

1922
18:29:13,387 --> 18:29:18,425
Not the kind of thing
you'll see on any other trains.

1923
18:29:18,492 --> 18:29:21,895
-This humbles me
to be able to paint this train

1924
18:29:21,962 --> 18:29:26,200
for the historical context
that it's the first time

1925
18:29:26,266 --> 18:29:29,670
that graffiti culture
and railroad culture

1926
18:29:29,736 --> 18:29:33,073
had come into alliance
to create something beautiful.

1927
18:29:33,140 --> 18:29:36,143
And I hope that's an opening for
more railroads to do the same

1928
18:29:36,210 --> 18:29:39,947
because railroads aren't going
anywhere and graffiti

1929
18:29:40,013 --> 18:29:41,949
isn't going anywhere.

1930
18:29:42,015 --> 18:29:45,419
-The look isn't the only thing
that sets this experience apart.

1931
18:29:45,485 --> 18:29:47,554
It's the stories, the people,
and the history

1932
18:29:47,621 --> 18:29:50,457
that offers new generations
a chance to experience something

1933
18:29:50,524 --> 18:29:53,360
that could have been
lost forever.

1934
18:29:53,427 --> 18:29:55,229
-We get people that come
from all over the world

1935
18:29:55,295 --> 18:29:57,130
that have been
on dozens of trains,

1936
18:29:57,197 --> 18:29:59,333
and it blows our mind
to this day,

1937
18:29:59,399 --> 18:30:02,169
and it's flattering
to hear people tell us that,

1938
18:30:02,236 --> 18:30:04,972
"Wow, I've been on trains
all over the country,

1939
18:30:05,038 --> 18:30:08,509
and this is the best one
I've been on."

1940
18:30:09,643 --> 18:30:12,846
-The Sky Railway line
stretches across 18 miles,

1941
18:30:12,913 --> 18:30:14,615
from Santa Fe, New Mexico,

1942
18:30:14,681 --> 18:30:17,217
to the tiny historic town
of Lamy.

1943
18:30:17,284 --> 18:30:18,919
A group of investors,
including Martin,

1944
18:30:18,986 --> 18:30:22,623
decided to give it another
chapter in its rich history.

1945
18:30:22,689 --> 18:30:25,459
You see, years ago,
Lamy was a bustling community

1946
18:30:25,526 --> 18:30:27,227
with several thousand residents

1947
18:30:27,294 --> 18:30:30,097
and an original stop
along the line.

1948
18:30:30,163 --> 18:30:33,166
Some of the buildings there date
back more than a century.

1949
18:30:33,233 --> 18:30:35,802
-Just, you know,
25 minutes' car ride

1950
18:30:35,869 --> 18:30:37,838
outside of Santa Fe, but...

1951
18:30:37,905 --> 18:30:39,740
much different
architecturally

1952
18:30:39,806 --> 18:30:41,375
and just untouched, really.

1953
18:30:41,441 --> 18:30:43,076
I mean, it's never been
built back over.

1954
18:30:43,143 --> 18:30:45,712
You know, this is authentic
Lamy, New Mexico,

1955
18:30:45,779 --> 18:30:49,116
like it was,
you know, 120 years ago.

1956
18:30:49,650 --> 18:30:52,886
-The Legal Tender may have
started out as a saloon,

1957
18:30:52,953 --> 18:30:55,422
but nowadays it's known
as a destination

1958
18:30:55,489 --> 18:30:57,691
for high-end cuisine.

1959
18:30:57,758 --> 18:31:01,195
-The Brunch Run
is extremely popular.

1960
18:31:01,261 --> 18:31:03,997
They do a wonderful
buffet spread.

1961
18:31:04,064 --> 18:31:07,367
And when you walk
inside the Legal Tender,

1962
18:31:07,434 --> 18:31:09,336
you're just taken back in time.

1963
18:31:09,403 --> 18:31:15,108
It's -- The bar is from Germany.
They brought it here by boat.

1964
18:31:15,175 --> 18:31:17,544
-If you truly want to relive
the golden age of railroading,

1965
18:31:17,611 --> 18:31:20,047
I highly recommend
you ride in this car --

1966
18:31:20,113 --> 18:31:22,115
the <i>Acoma.</i>
It is gorgeously restored

1967
18:31:22,182 --> 18:31:24,051
with a beautiful
Art Deco interior

1968
18:31:24,117 --> 18:31:26,153
that will truly give you a taste
of what it was like

1969
18:31:26,220 --> 18:31:27,921
to ride in that time period.

1970
18:31:27,988 --> 18:31:31,692
-Well, this is
100-year-old car that has been

1971
18:31:31,758 --> 18:31:34,895
restored to its original beauty.

1972
18:31:35,462 --> 18:31:38,065
It's a different experience
to get on a car like this

1973
18:31:38,131 --> 18:31:39,700
when it's on a railroad track

1974
18:31:39,766 --> 18:31:41,869
and then going in
to see it in a museum.

1975
18:31:41,935 --> 18:31:45,772
It's just a remarkable thing
to sit in a car

1976
18:31:45,839 --> 18:31:48,075
that has so much history

1977
18:31:48,442 --> 18:31:52,312
literally just oozing
out of the side walls.

1978
18:31:52,379 --> 18:31:54,948
-This is a rare opportunity
to ride in style

1979
18:31:55,015 --> 18:31:57,885
like the greatest stars
of the Golden Age.

1980
18:31:57,951 --> 18:32:00,320
-You know,
it's just the nostalgia,

1981
18:32:00,387 --> 18:32:02,623
I mean, the way that it feels.

1982
18:32:02,689 --> 18:32:05,392
It's just like it takes
you way, way, way back.

1983
18:32:05,459 --> 18:32:08,128
And it's just -- It's been
so much fun today.

1984
18:32:08,195 --> 18:32:09,463
We've had a blast.

1985
18:32:09,530 --> 18:32:12,132
-It's wonderful.
Wonderful.

1986
18:32:12,199 --> 18:32:13,867
Slow things down.

1987
18:32:14,201 --> 18:32:17,871
Feel the rails.
See the beauty outside.

1988
18:32:18,405 --> 18:32:21,608
Meet the people.
It's the way life should be.

1989
18:32:21,675 --> 18:32:23,677
[ Cheers and applause ]

1990
18:32:23,744 --> 18:32:25,712
-And Native Americans
used them in cooking.

1991
18:32:25,779 --> 18:32:28,582
They flavored their meats
with that. And...

1992
18:32:28,649 --> 18:32:31,552
-Another popular trip
is the Lore of the Land,

1993
18:32:31,618 --> 18:32:34,855
a back-to-nature trek
that combines music and stories

1994
18:32:34,922 --> 18:32:38,492
that help you understand how
the scenic wonderland evolved.

1995
18:32:38,559 --> 18:32:40,727
-I am a docent
at our botanical garden.

1996
18:32:40,794 --> 18:32:44,731
I really enjoy ethnobotany.
I love talking about that

1997
18:32:44,798 --> 18:32:47,768
along this trip,
all our plants along the way,

1998
18:32:47,835 --> 18:32:52,039
the trees that we have, and how
they were used historically

1999
18:32:52,105 --> 18:32:54,508
by the peoples of New Mexico.

2000
18:32:54,575 --> 18:32:56,810
[ Up-tempo music plays]

2001
18:33:00,314 --> 18:33:02,716
-And music is as much
a part of the journey

2002
18:33:02,783 --> 18:33:05,452
as the surrounding scenery.

2003
18:33:07,054 --> 18:33:11,692
A ride on the Sky Railway
is a feast for the senses.

2004
18:33:11,758 --> 18:33:14,728
No matter what class of service
you book on this train,

2005
18:33:14,795 --> 18:33:17,464
everyone has access
to the open-air car.

2006
18:33:17,531 --> 18:33:20,400
This is by far the best place
to be if you want to absorb

2007
18:33:20,467 --> 18:33:24,605
all the beautiful scenery
this trip offers.

2008
18:33:26,273 --> 18:33:29,076
-Everybody's favorite car
is our flatcar.

2009
18:33:29,142 --> 18:33:30,844
It's my favorite place to be.

2010
18:33:30,911 --> 18:33:34,515
Most people, once
they discover that it's there,

2011
18:33:34,581 --> 18:33:37,784
it's where they spend
the rest of the trip.

2012
18:33:37,851 --> 18:33:39,887
-This is where you not
only feel the breeze

2013
18:33:39,953 --> 18:33:41,788
and see
its incredible sunsets --

2014
18:33:41,855 --> 18:33:43,590
It's a great place to relax.

2015
18:33:43,657 --> 18:33:45,659
It's easy to understand
why artists,

2016
18:33:45,726 --> 18:33:48,028
writers, and creators
have come here over the years

2017
18:33:48,095 --> 18:33:51,164
to experience
the natural beauty close up.

2018
18:33:51,231 --> 18:33:52,399
It's breathtaking.

2019
18:33:52,466 --> 18:33:55,235
-New Mexico
is the "Land of Enchantment."

2020
18:33:55,302 --> 18:34:00,307
And as the light changes,
like, minute by minute,

2021
18:34:00,374 --> 18:34:02,276
you're watching it.

2022
18:34:02,609 --> 18:34:07,281
And you're out there with
your hair blowing in the air.

2023
18:34:07,347 --> 18:34:09,716
You're on an open-air car.

2024
18:34:09,783 --> 18:34:11,685
You see everything.

2025
18:34:13,453 --> 18:34:14,588
It's incredible.

2026
18:34:14,655 --> 18:34:16,089
-Just like a novel,

2027
18:34:16,156 --> 18:34:20,227
the Sky Railway is creating its
own story with many chapters,

2028
18:34:20,294 --> 18:34:22,462
interesting characters
you love to meet,

2029
18:34:22,529 --> 18:34:26,066
exotic locations, and
plenty of memorable moments.

2030
18:34:26,133 --> 18:34:28,268
-We have all these
different experiences

2031
18:34:28,335 --> 18:34:29,837
that you can ride once

2032
18:34:29,903 --> 18:34:33,407
and you don't feel like you've
really experienced

2033
18:34:33,473 --> 18:34:34,741
all that we have to offer,
right?

2034
18:34:34,808 --> 18:34:37,077
And you can come back time
and time again

2035
18:34:37,144 --> 18:34:39,079
and experience
a different experience.

2036
18:34:39,146 --> 18:34:43,617
And we're always evolving
and adding on to that.

2037
18:34:45,052 --> 18:34:47,020
-The Sky Railway
is a rare chance

2038
18:34:47,087 --> 18:34:49,156
to see some of the most
spectacular scenery

2039
18:34:49,223 --> 18:34:50,524
in the Southwest

2040
18:34:50,591 --> 18:34:53,026
while riding on
a one-of-a-kind train.

2041
18:34:53,093 --> 18:34:56,263
The stories and moments
it creates are timeless.

your support. Just want to

2402
18:51:59,887 --> 18:52:02,122
which will come out monthly

2403
18:52:02,189 --> 18:52:04,525
or for a credit card. Went

2404
18:52:05,792 --> 18:52:08,028
of the levels that we any

2405

sustainer level, and you

2406

this Passport service isn't

2407
18:52:15,636 --> 18:52:18,205
the trains, it's a Passport

2408
18:52:19,106 --> 18:52:21,575
programing that can be new

2409
18:52:22,342 --> 18:52:24,611
have missed. I know wet

2410
18:52:24,678 --> 18:52:27,080
because our TV and cable

2411
18:52:27,147 --> 18:52:29,383
we went on Passport so we

2412
18:52:29,917 --> 18:52:32,386
series. So this isd of some

2413
18:52:32,452 --> 18:52:34,922
but it starts again going,

2414
18:52:35,989 --> 18:52:38,225
Or give us a call at.org.

2415

18:52:43,263 --> 18:52:45,599
people look at us, we're a

2417
18:52:45,666 --> 18:52:48,335

2418
18:52:48,402 --> 18:52:50,737
being an American is we are

2420

So this is a nonprofit like

2421
18:52:54,741 --> 18:52:57,411
your community, United Way,

2422
18:52:58,011 --> 18:53:00,547
Look at us that way. Make.

2423
18:53:00,614 --> 18:53:03,417

turn on my publicry time I

2426
18:53:09,389 --> 18:53:11,625
is a value to it, and it's

2427
18:53:12,159 --> 18:53:14,628
still here. And that's why

2428
18:53:15,028 --> 18:53:17,264
even if it's $5 a month,,

2429
18:53:18,031 --> 18:53:20,200
do, your vote counts. Ito

2430
18:53:20,267 --> 18:53:22,302

not. You will not find that

2441
18:53:46,693 --> 18:53:48,862

Think about the traintes.

2445

-A five-star culinary feast,

2448
18:54:01,808 --> 18:54:03,877
-A five-star culinary feast,

2449
18:54:03,944 --> 18:54:06,246
beautiful Rocky Mountain scenery
all around you,

2450
18:54:06,313 --> 18:54:09,316
all while traveling
on a true engineering marvel.

2451
18:54:09,383 --> 18:54:11,585
I'm on board
the Royal Gorge Route Railroad

2452
18:54:11,652 --> 18:54:13,287
in Ca�on City, Colorado,

2453
18:54:13,353 --> 18:54:16,924
which offers all of this
and a lot more.

2454
18:54:17,491 --> 18:54:19,226
It's a sight to behold.

2455
18:54:19,293 --> 18:54:23,964
Colorado's Royal Gorge is a
place only nature could create.

2456
18:54:24,031 --> 18:54:27,334
-It's one of the most
spectacular train destinations

2457
18:54:27,401 --> 18:54:28,535
in the world.

2458
18:54:28,602 --> 18:54:30,103
I am passionate about that.

2459
18:54:30,170 --> 18:54:31,738
And I've ridden trains
around the world.

2460
18:54:31,805 --> 18:54:33,607
I lived in Europe
for a couple of years.

2461
18:54:33,674 --> 18:54:36,476
Nothing comes close to this.

2462
18:54:36,543 --> 18:54:38,745
-It's a total experience,
with a variety of sights

2463
18:54:38,812 --> 18:54:41,648
and sounds along the way,
with a view that inspired

2464
18:54:41,715 --> 18:54:44,451
one of America's most
colorful presidents.

2465
18:54:44,518 --> 18:54:47,421
-What I like particularly
about this canyon

2466
18:54:47,487 --> 18:54:50,390
is just the size
of everything.

2467
18:54:51,558 --> 18:54:55,229
1,053 feet below
the Royal Gorge Bridge --

2468
18:54:55,295 --> 18:54:57,731
raging rivers,
tremendous rock formations.

2469
18:54:57,798 --> 18:55:00,067
You get a really good sense
of the Earth's power

2470
18:55:00,133 --> 18:55:04,438
through the geology
that's been created here.

2471
18:55:04,505 --> 18:55:06,707
-The walls of the gorge
are steep,

2472
18:55:06,773 --> 18:55:10,911
stretching nearly 1,200 feet
high in some spots.

2473
18:55:10,978 --> 18:55:12,212
At the bottom,

2474
18:55:12,279 --> 18:55:15,382
you have the rushing waters
of the Arkansas River.

2475
18:55:15,449 --> 18:55:17,384
While that made it
a challenge to build,

2476
18:55:17,451 --> 18:55:20,487
the natural beauty brings
visitors from around the world.

2477
18:55:20,554 --> 18:55:22,556
-So we came all the way
from Syracuse, New York,

2478
18:55:22,623 --> 18:55:24,925
and we wanted to see
some beautiful views.

2479
18:55:24,992 --> 18:55:28,695
And the open-air
is just really unbelievable,

2480
18:55:28,762 --> 18:55:31,598
the views you can see,
and hear the sounds

2481
18:55:31,665 --> 18:55:34,468
of the water
of the Arkansas River.

2482
18:55:34,535 --> 18:55:37,237
-It's different
on any given day.

2483
18:55:37,304 --> 18:55:39,840
To see it in the wintertime,
it's beautiful.

2484
18:55:39,907 --> 18:55:41,575
To hear people enjoying it,

2485
18:55:41,642 --> 18:55:42,876
when you're out
in the open-air cars

2486
18:55:42,943 --> 18:55:44,845
and just listening to people,
you know,

2487
18:55:44,912 --> 18:55:48,415
and talking to their kids
about just the natural beauty.

2488
18:55:48,482 --> 18:55:51,585
-Most of the fleet here
dates back to the 1950s.

2489
18:55:51,652 --> 18:55:53,921
They've all been renovated
and rebuilt,

2490
18:55:53,987 --> 18:55:56,957
along with eight
stunning Vista Dome cars

2491
18:55:57,024 --> 18:55:59,726
offering panoramic views
from every seat.

2492
18:55:59,793 --> 18:56:01,695
-I've never had any kind of
dining experience

2493
18:56:01,762 --> 18:56:03,163
like this before.

2494
18:56:03,230 --> 18:56:04,798
It's very open, and you get

2495
18:56:04,865 --> 18:56:06,200
to see
all the good, great views.

2496
18:56:06,266 --> 18:56:09,937
And there's a river,
so it's really nice.

2497
18:56:10,003 --> 18:56:12,973
-They also have these
custom-built open-air cars,

2498
18:56:13,040 --> 18:56:14,808
which is a favorite for many.

2499
18:56:14,875 --> 18:56:16,009
-Just coming out here and just

2500
18:56:16,076 --> 18:56:18,412
being able to stand
around everyone

2501
18:56:18,478 --> 18:56:21,715
and just take in the beauty
of this -- this scenery

2502
18:56:21,782 --> 18:56:23,550
has just been
an awesome experience.

2503
18:56:23,617 --> 18:56:24,952
Breathing in crisp air,

2504
18:56:25,018 --> 18:56:27,955
watching everything from
the left and to the right side.

2505
18:56:28,021 --> 18:56:29,690
I mean, you can't get these
views anywhere else,

2506
18:56:29,756 --> 18:56:31,158
so it's been
an amazing experience,

2507
18:56:31,225 --> 18:56:34,795
just standing out here
in the open air.

2508
18:56:37,264 --> 18:56:38,665
-If you're wondering
how this railroad

2509
18:56:38,732 --> 18:56:40,734
keeps all their beautiful
equipment in such great shape,

2510
18:56:40,801 --> 18:56:42,135
it's done here in their shops.

2511
18:56:42,202 --> 18:56:43,337
They have a skilled
set of employees

2512
18:56:43,403 --> 18:56:44,972
that can pretty much
do anything needed

2513
18:56:45,038 --> 18:56:47,508
to keep it all on the rails.

2514
18:56:50,310 --> 18:56:54,181
-We pretty much run off of
about a 13- to 15-person crew.

2515
18:56:54,248 --> 18:56:57,751
-But that includes, you know,
your locomotive mechanics,

2516
18:56:57,818 --> 18:57:00,053
your railroad carmen program.

2517
18:57:00,120 --> 18:57:02,523
We have HVAC technicians
on staff,

2518
18:57:02,589 --> 18:57:04,825
as well as a master electrician.

2519
18:57:04,892 --> 18:57:06,560
-Going up.
-Up.

2520
18:57:06,894 --> 18:57:09,162
[ Machinery whirring ]

2521
18:57:11,565 --> 18:57:14,168
-They even have the capability
to lift and service

2522
18:57:14,234 --> 18:57:19,039
their locomotives, some weighing
in at over 300,000 pounds.

2523
18:57:19,106 --> 18:57:21,175
-What I love is being able
to pass on an item

2524
18:57:21,241 --> 18:57:22,609
to the next generations

2525
18:57:22,676 --> 18:57:25,345
and being able to make sure
that it's safe, reliable.

2526
18:57:25,412 --> 18:57:27,781
I go home feeling proud that,
you know, I made something,

2527
18:57:27,848 --> 18:57:31,185
you know, continue to run.
Some children have a story

2528
18:57:31,251 --> 18:57:34,188
they're gonna tell their kids
in the future.

2529
18:57:34,254 --> 18:57:36,456
-They'll also be
telling others about the food

2530
18:57:36,523 --> 18:57:39,159
because it's one of
the bright spots on this trip,

2531
18:57:39,226 --> 18:57:41,228
full of choices
designed to leave everyone

2532
18:57:41,295 --> 18:57:43,931
with a full belly
and a smile.

2533
18:57:43,997 --> 18:57:48,001
-We have done trains before,
and this is the top of them all.

2534
18:57:48,068 --> 18:57:50,804
The waitress is wonderful.
The atmosphere is beautiful.

2535
18:57:50,871 --> 18:57:53,006
It's a gorgeous train.

2536
18:57:54,975 --> 18:57:56,410
-We're somewhat new
to Colorado,

2537
18:57:56,476 --> 18:57:57,744
and this is the great way

2538
18:57:57,811 --> 18:58:00,914
to see the absolute
beautiful landscape,

2539
18:58:00,981 --> 18:58:03,784
take it in in such a relaxing
way, and have a good meal,

2540
18:58:03,851 --> 18:58:07,487
some good wine, and
be able to sit back and relax.

2541
18:58:07,554 --> 18:58:11,792
-The best thing I realized --
ease of coming in.

2542
18:58:11,859 --> 18:58:13,293
Romantic trip.

2543
18:58:13,360 --> 18:58:15,495
And the gorge
is just --

2544
18:58:17,497 --> 18:58:19,032
It does not disappoint.

2545
18:58:19,099 --> 18:58:21,869
This has been a beautiful,
beautiful day

2546
18:58:21,935 --> 18:58:23,070
with all the colors.

2547
18:58:23,136 --> 18:58:25,506
-Chicken, Welly, Welly,
salmon -- heard!

2548
18:58:25,572 --> 18:58:26,907
-It's hard to believe they can
pull off

2549
18:58:26,974 --> 18:58:31,044
this kind of variety and quality
inside a kitchen in motion.

2550
18:58:31,111 --> 18:58:33,580
But it's an everyday thing
around here.

2551
18:58:33,647 --> 18:58:35,015
-Okay, so this right here

2552
18:58:35,082 --> 18:58:36,683
is my Colorado-raised
Atlantic salmon,

2553
18:58:36,750 --> 18:58:38,619
served on quinoa and wild rice.

2554
18:58:38,685 --> 18:58:40,254
-The service was amazing.

2555
18:58:40,320 --> 18:58:43,690
I would encourage anyone to come
just for the service alone.

2556
18:58:43,757 --> 18:58:47,194
Our servers were so kind
and gracious and attentive,

2557
18:58:47,261 --> 18:58:49,530
and that's very important to me,

2558
18:58:49,596 --> 18:58:51,999
especially on a special day
like this for his birthday.

2559
18:58:52,065 --> 18:58:54,268
-The food was amazing.
The people were amazing.

2560
18:58:54,334 --> 18:58:56,270
The other passengers
were amazing.

2561
18:58:56,336 --> 18:58:58,305
So we've had just
a blast all day.

2562
18:58:58,372 --> 18:58:59,706
-Yeah, for sure.

2563
18:58:59,773 --> 18:59:03,443
-I'm very proud of what I do,
mostly because my guests

2564
18:59:03,510 --> 18:59:07,314
could come on board for, like,
a birthday, an anniversary,

2565
18:59:07,381 --> 18:59:09,082
have a great experience,
go home,

2566
18:59:09,149 --> 18:59:12,553
and they have a memory
to look back on.

2567
18:59:12,619 --> 18:59:16,757
-Sir, I am above you,
next to you, around you.

2568
18:59:17,291 --> 18:59:18,392
-Still, all the crew on board

2569
18:59:18,458 --> 18:59:20,928
have to contend
with these tight quarters,

2570
18:59:20,994 --> 18:59:24,498
and it leads to a dedicated
dance down these aisles.

2571
18:59:24,565 --> 18:59:26,500
-Oh, it's all kind of
about spatial awareness.

2572
18:59:26,567 --> 18:59:28,902
We're all pretty good about
telling each other "behind,"

2573
18:59:28,969 --> 18:59:31,271
"in front," "corner,"
things like that.

2574
18:59:31,338 --> 18:59:33,307
But after a while, with working
with the same people over

2575
18:59:33,373 --> 18:59:34,975
and over,
you just kind of get used to,

2576
18:59:35,042 --> 18:59:36,376
you know,
they're gonna take this path

2577
18:59:36,443 --> 18:59:38,312
and I'll take this path,
and you're used to the train

2578
18:59:38,378 --> 18:59:39,913
swaying, and it just
makes it a lot of fun.

2579
18:59:39,980 --> 18:59:41,715
It also keeps it really
entertaining for guests

2580
18:59:41,782 --> 18:59:44,852
to see us kind of weaving
in and out of things, so...

2581
18:59:44,918 --> 18:59:47,855
-Kind of like baseball,
it's a game of inches.

2582
18:59:47,921 --> 18:59:49,890
-The White Sox baseball team

2583
18:59:49,957 --> 18:59:52,192
posing [Laughs] in 1910

2584
18:59:52,826 --> 18:59:53,994
on this very place.
-No way.

2585
18:59:54,061 --> 18:59:55,729
-Oh, my gosh.

2586
18:59:56,663 --> 18:59:58,532
-You can feel
the history here,

2587
18:59:58,599 --> 19:00:00,067
especially when they take
a moment

2588
19:00:00,133 --> 19:00:02,436
and stop on the Hanging Bridge.

2589
19:00:02,503 --> 19:00:06,206
When it was first constructed,
the design was revolutionary,

2590
19:00:06,273 --> 19:00:09,543
made to carry trains through
the narrowest part of the gorge.

2591
19:00:09,610 --> 19:00:12,412
Teddy Roosevelt stopped here
in 1905

2592
19:00:12,479 --> 19:00:14,381
and took an iconic photo,

2593
19:00:14,448 --> 19:00:17,317
reportedly saying that
the beauty and the views

2594
19:00:17,384 --> 19:00:19,853
bankrupted the English language.

2595
19:00:19,920 --> 19:00:21,221
-It's nice to come out here.

2596
19:00:21,288 --> 19:00:23,724
It's a different atmosphere.
The air feels different.

2597
19:00:23,790 --> 19:00:25,692
The light's different
than anywhere else.

2598
19:00:25,759 --> 19:00:27,127
You get on the train
in Ca�on City,

2599
19:00:27,194 --> 19:00:29,162
it might be sunny and warm.
You come up here,

2600
19:00:29,229 --> 19:00:31,431
and you feel like
you're in a different world.

2601
19:00:31,498 --> 19:00:35,202
-And it gives people a time
and a chance to relax.

2602
19:00:35,269 --> 19:00:36,303
You know, we're all going

2603
19:00:36,370 --> 19:00:39,406
at 1,000 miles an hour,
and I find

2604
19:00:39,473 --> 19:00:40,941
that people will hop
on this train,

2605
19:00:41,008 --> 19:00:42,809
and maybe they've had
a tough week at work,

2606
19:00:42,876 --> 19:00:44,311
maybe they're a little stressed,

2607
19:00:44,378 --> 19:00:47,114
but I guarantee
by the end of the train ride...

2608
19:00:47,181 --> 19:00:49,449
It's just nostalgic.
It's awesome.

2609
19:00:49,516 --> 19:00:55,222
It's everything Colorado that is
packaged into a two-hour trip.

2610
19:00:55,289 --> 19:00:56,957
It's here.

2611
19:00:57,624 --> 19:01:00,360
-No matter how they discovered
the Royal Gorge Route Railroad,

2612
19:01:00,427 --> 19:01:03,163
it has become a bigger hit
than ever, and people

2613
19:01:03,230 --> 19:01:05,332
want to share the experience.

2614
19:01:05,399 --> 19:01:08,068
-So I think it's good to learn
a little bit about history,

2615
19:01:08,135 --> 19:01:12,539
especially for kids this age,
for families to see

2616
19:01:12,606 --> 19:01:16,310
how these old cars
hold up so well over time.

2617
19:01:16,376 --> 19:01:19,146
Engineering is definitely
one of the coolest things

2618
19:01:19,213 --> 19:01:24,384
about all these old cars
and trains and things like that.

2619
19:01:24,451 --> 19:01:27,154
-The vintage technology that
helps you get away from it all

2620
19:01:27,221 --> 19:01:29,590
ends up bringing people
closer together.

2621
19:01:29,656 --> 19:01:31,825
-The most important thing for me

2622
19:01:31,892 --> 19:01:36,697
for the guest is that
they walk off this train happy.

2623
19:01:37,464 --> 19:01:39,132
Not just satisfied,

2624
19:01:39,199 --> 19:01:41,768
but I want their expectations
exceeded.

2625
19:01:41,835 --> 19:01:43,570
And that's
how we train our staff.

2626
19:01:43,637 --> 19:01:49,643
You have to exceed expectations,
especially in this day and age.

2627
19:01:51,011 --> 19:01:54,348
-The Royal Gorge Route
Railroad is steeped in history.

2628
19:01:54,414 --> 19:01:56,383
But there's something
new to discover here

2629
19:01:56,450 --> 19:01:59,820
on every single trip
through this natural wonder.

2630
19:01:59,887 --> 19:02:01,555
??

2631
19:02:07,995 --> 19:02:09,663
??

2632
19:02:10,898 --> 19:02:13,000
-The Royal Gorge Route's
two-hour journey

2633
19:02:13,066 --> 19:02:16,703
showcases some of the beauty
of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

2634
19:02:16,770 --> 19:02:19,373
Our final trip takes you
on a two-day journey

2635
19:02:19,439 --> 19:02:21,108
that crosses the Rockies

2636
19:02:21,175 --> 19:02:26,013
and takes you through
the stunning Red Rocks of Utah.

2637
19:02:26,079 --> 19:02:28,215
The Rocky Mountaineer trips
in the Canadian Rockies

2638
19:02:28,282 --> 19:02:31,251
are known worldwide as one of
the best rail adventures

2639
19:02:31,318 --> 19:02:32,753
in North America.

2640
19:02:32,819 --> 19:02:35,622
In 2020, they brought
their legendary services

2641
19:02:35,689 --> 19:02:39,459
to the United States to showcase
one of the most scenic routes

2642
19:02:39,526 --> 19:02:41,528
in the American West.

2643
19:02:42,262 --> 19:02:43,997
They are
all unforgettable --

2644
19:02:44,064 --> 19:02:46,733
the views that encompass
the most storied features

2645
19:02:46,800 --> 19:02:48,502
of the Rocky Mountains...

2646
19:02:48,569 --> 19:02:52,940
the food, from a menu that
rivals the best restaurants...

2647
19:02:53,006 --> 19:02:55,843
and the memories,
the friendships, and the stories

2648
19:02:55,909 --> 19:02:59,112
you bring home from a trip
on the Rocky Mountaineer.

2649
19:02:59,179 --> 19:03:01,248
-All right, everybody,
if we can raise our glass.

2650
19:03:01,315 --> 19:03:03,150
I have an Irish limerick for us.

2651
19:03:03,217 --> 19:03:05,385
"So there are wood chips.
There are good ships.

2652
19:03:05,452 --> 19:03:07,254
There are ships
that sail the sea.

2653
19:03:07,321 --> 19:03:08,956
But the best ships
are friendships.

2654
19:03:09,022 --> 19:03:10,724
And may they always be made
right here

2655
19:03:10,791 --> 19:03:12,226
on the Rocky Mountaineer."
Cheers.

2656
19:03:12,292 --> 19:03:14,094
-Cheers!
-Cheers!

2657
19:03:14,528 --> 19:03:15,629
[ Glasses clink ]

2658
19:03:15,696 --> 19:03:17,998
-Rockies to the Red Rocks.

2659
19:03:18,065 --> 19:03:20,234
It's a journey that starts
with something you'll notice

2660
19:03:20,300 --> 19:03:23,403
about this entire trip --
a personal touch.

2661
19:03:23,470 --> 19:03:26,273
-Three, two, one.
And go. Love it.

2662
19:03:26,340 --> 19:03:28,475
-Thank you.
-[ Laughs ]

2663
19:03:29,042 --> 19:03:31,378
All aboard!
-All aboard!

2664
19:03:32,246 --> 19:03:33,547
-It's in my nature.

2665
19:03:33,614 --> 19:03:38,285
I love to share my enthusiasm
and my love for this --

2666
19:03:39,019 --> 19:03:42,489
this product, this rail.
It's just exciting.

2667
19:03:42,556 --> 19:03:46,460
And it's the guests
that give that for me.

2668
19:03:46,527 --> 19:03:49,229
I don't smile when I'm just
sitting by myself. [ Laughs ]

2669
19:03:49,296 --> 19:03:51,465
It's truly --
It's truly everyone

2670
19:03:51,532 --> 19:03:54,101
that brings that out of me.

2671
19:03:54,168 --> 19:03:56,904
-The two-day trip
lets you unwind along the way.

2672
19:03:56,970 --> 19:04:00,440
Just outside of Denver,
you start to gain elevation.

2673
19:04:00,507 --> 19:04:04,645
The landscape starts to reveal a
first look back over the plains.

2674
19:04:04,711 --> 19:04:07,481
Then you get to see one of the
challenges of building this line

2675
19:04:07,548 --> 19:04:09,716
in the first place --
the tunnels that lead

2676
19:04:09,783 --> 19:04:12,352
directly through the mountains.
It's not the kind of thing

2677
19:04:12,419 --> 19:04:16,223
you would experience flying
overhead at 30,000 feet.

2678
19:04:16,290 --> 19:04:18,759
-You don't get up close
and personal with the scenery.

2679
19:04:18,825 --> 19:04:20,327
The coyote we just saw

2680
19:04:20,394 --> 19:04:22,696
or the moose
that went by an hour ago --

2681
19:04:22,763 --> 19:04:24,398
You don't get to see that.

2682
19:04:24,464 --> 19:04:27,401
And when was the last time you
made a friend on an airplane?

2683
19:04:27,467 --> 19:04:30,370
I see people making friends
and connections on the trains

2684
19:04:30,437 --> 19:04:32,139
all the time.

2685
19:04:32,206 --> 19:04:35,075
-Those connections just
come naturally.

2686
19:04:35,142 --> 19:04:37,778
-It feels like
an instant cocktail party.

2687
19:04:37,845 --> 19:04:39,279
People just start talking.

2688
19:04:39,346 --> 19:04:42,015
I've learned about people's
dogs, their grandchildren,

2689
19:04:42,082 --> 19:04:43,617
the trips they've been on.

2690
19:04:43,684 --> 19:04:46,553
It's wonderful.
And on top of that, the staff.

2691
19:04:46,620 --> 19:04:50,724
Amazing stories.
Stories I would never have known

2692
19:04:50,791 --> 19:04:52,092
had it not been for the fact

2693
19:04:52,159 --> 19:04:54,761
that I was rolling through
that exact part of the world

2694
19:04:54,828 --> 19:04:58,632
and that exact part
of American history.

2695
19:05:00,634 --> 19:05:02,169
-46.

2696
19:05:02,236 --> 19:05:03,904
47.

2697
19:05:04,805 --> 19:05:06,640
-Food isn't just
part of the trip --

2698
19:05:06,707 --> 19:05:08,375
It's something they celebrate.

2699
19:05:08,442 --> 19:05:10,978
Working with local ingredients,

2700
19:05:11,044 --> 19:05:14,047
the selections speak
for themselves.

2701
19:05:14,114 --> 19:05:15,716
-Our lunch
on the Rocky Mountaineer

2702
19:05:15,782 --> 19:05:17,684
is one
of everyone's favorites.

2703
19:05:17,751 --> 19:05:21,088
We have our short rib
in a green chili sauce

2704
19:05:21,154 --> 19:05:23,257
which has the flavor
of the chilies,

2705
19:05:23,323 --> 19:05:24,525
not the spice,

2706
19:05:24,591 --> 19:05:27,594
or our baked chicken breasts
in an apricot glaze.

2707
19:05:27,661 --> 19:05:30,097
Both are gonna be accompanied
with a polenta cake,

2708
19:05:30,163 --> 19:05:33,233
broccolini, and roasted carrots.

2709
19:05:33,300 --> 19:05:35,802
-The staff works
to create an experience

2710
19:05:35,869 --> 19:05:39,406
because this isn't just a way to
get from one place to another.

2711
19:05:39,473 --> 19:05:41,375
This <i>is</i> the destination.

2712
19:05:41,441 --> 19:05:43,710
-So what you're looking at
are the Indian Peaks

2713
19:05:43,777 --> 19:05:45,646
and the Indian Peak Wilderness.

2714
19:05:45,712 --> 19:05:48,148
We're also looking
at the Continental Divide,

2715
19:05:48,215 --> 19:05:49,683
folks, right there.

2716
19:05:49,750 --> 19:05:53,153
-It's not like traveling where
you're trying to get somewhere.

2717
19:05:53,220 --> 19:05:55,689
You're trying to make sure
you make a connection.

2718
19:05:55,756 --> 19:05:59,126
Once you get here, you sit down,
your needs are looked after.

2719
19:05:59,193 --> 19:06:02,095
You just get to sit back, relax.
And we don't often do that.

2720
19:06:02,162 --> 19:06:03,897
You don't often
in this day and age

2721
19:06:03,964 --> 19:06:06,667
get sort of put into a position
where you sit back,

2722
19:06:06,733 --> 19:06:10,838
you relax, and you watch
the scenery go by

2723
19:06:10,904 --> 19:06:14,141
while our team is providing
that great service.

2724
19:06:14,208 --> 19:06:17,110
-It has exceeded
our expectations,

2725
19:06:17,177 --> 19:06:20,080
really, just from the level,
the courtesy

2726
19:06:20,147 --> 19:06:21,615
of all the personnel
we've met,

2727
19:06:21,682 --> 19:06:24,918
all the service staff,
the meals,

2728
19:06:24,985 --> 19:06:26,653
the scenery.

2729
19:06:27,154 --> 19:06:30,123
It's almost too much to try
and put into words.

2730
19:06:30,190 --> 19:06:33,961
It's been fabulous every step
along the way.

2731
19:06:34,027 --> 19:06:36,430
-The Rocky Mountaineer
has offered a luxurious ride

2732
19:06:36,496 --> 19:06:38,999
through some of Canada's
most spectacular terrain

2733
19:06:39,066 --> 19:06:41,201
for more than 30 years now.

2734
19:06:41,268 --> 19:06:43,937
When they chose to add a route
through the American Rockies,

2735
19:06:44,004 --> 19:06:45,639
it had to be something special.

2736
19:06:45,706 --> 19:06:46,940
And it is.

2737
19:06:47,007 --> 19:06:48,275
-Well, I'm from Texas,

2738
19:06:48,342 --> 19:06:50,911
and we don't have
a lot of mountains down there.

2739
19:06:50,978 --> 19:06:54,815
Being up here is just
something that God made.

2740
19:06:54,882 --> 19:06:57,551
Phenomenal.
Breathtaking.

2741
19:06:58,519 --> 19:07:00,420
You just have to come
see it for yourself.

2742
19:07:00,487 --> 19:07:03,056
Just absolutely gorgeous.

2743
19:07:05,492 --> 19:07:08,962
-The range of scenery would be
hard to match anywhere else,

2744
19:07:09,029 --> 19:07:12,866
and the only way to take it
all in is on this train.

2745
19:07:12,933 --> 19:07:13,934
-The views out the window

2746
19:07:14,001 --> 19:07:15,969
are constantly changing,
the scenery,

2747
19:07:16,036 --> 19:07:18,605
the topography, the geology.

2748
19:07:18,672 --> 19:07:20,374
-Having the opportunity
to watch the sun

2749
19:07:20,440 --> 19:07:21,742
come up over the hills

2750
19:07:21,808 --> 19:07:24,878
and the rocks and illuminate
them with the trees

2751
19:07:24,945 --> 19:07:27,614
and the fall foliage,
all that beautiful yellow color.

2752
19:07:27,681 --> 19:07:28,682
And then the Colorado River

2753
19:07:28,749 --> 19:07:31,318
was literally steaming
as the sun rose.

2754
19:07:31,385 --> 19:07:33,854
I mean, it was
a pretty epic landscape.

2755
19:07:33,921 --> 19:07:37,124
-The cars are built
for viewing, wide and open,

2756
19:07:37,191 --> 19:07:38,926
just like the landscape here.

2757
19:07:38,992 --> 19:07:42,396
-Our seats are extremely
comfortable, plenty of legroom.

2758
19:07:42,462 --> 19:07:46,867
We have windows that are
6 foot wide, 6 foot deep.

2759
19:07:46,934 --> 19:07:49,036
And then, of course,
there's a dome window above,

2760
19:07:49,102 --> 19:07:52,239
so you get practically
360 views.

2761
19:07:52,706 --> 19:07:53,941
When you're on a scenic train,

2762
19:07:54,007 --> 19:07:55,375
everything is about the view.

2763
19:07:55,442 --> 19:07:59,446
-So having a high-domed car
where you can look up, you can

2764
19:07:59,513 --> 19:08:01,715
see out, you can
cross the aisle,

2765
19:08:01,782 --> 19:08:04,117
you can look almost
in every direction,

2766
19:08:04,184 --> 19:08:06,653
gives you the benefit
of, like, a full 360

2767
19:08:06,720 --> 19:08:09,556
of enjoying the landscape
that you're traveling through.

2768
19:08:09,623 --> 19:08:13,660
You don't have a narrow window.
You can really take it all in.

2769
19:08:13,727 --> 19:08:16,296
-This trip offers something
no other mainline train can --

2770
19:08:16,363 --> 19:08:20,033
an opportunity to step out
in the vestibule,

2771
19:08:20,100 --> 19:08:22,903
open the door,
and take it all in.

2772
19:08:22,970 --> 19:08:25,939
Here you can feel
all the elements in your face --

2773
19:08:26,006 --> 19:08:30,143
the warmth of the sun,
the fresh mountain air,

2774
19:08:30,210 --> 19:08:33,947
along with taking pictures
without any glass reflections.

2775
19:08:34,014 --> 19:08:36,650
And that's why photographers
love to take this trip --

2776
19:08:36,717 --> 19:08:39,152
to get that perfect shot.

2777
19:08:39,219 --> 19:08:40,454
-This is the only place

2778
19:08:40,521 --> 19:08:43,423
where you can just
open up the Dutch door

2779
19:08:43,490 --> 19:08:45,826
and look out the side
of the train,

2780
19:08:45,893 --> 19:08:47,628
watch it go around the curves,

2781
19:08:47,694 --> 19:08:53,166
and look right out on some
of the rapids, the mountains.

2782
19:08:53,233 --> 19:08:56,670
-It's an exciting journey with
something new around every bend.

2783
19:08:56,737 --> 19:08:58,205
You can just feel it.

2784
19:08:58,272 --> 19:09:00,040
-How do you describe
these colors?

2785
19:09:00,107 --> 19:09:02,342
Aspen is a shade of gold.

2786
19:09:03,443 --> 19:09:06,013
I don't think I can actually
find the words for it.

2787
19:09:06,079 --> 19:09:11,084
The blue sky is bluer than
any blue sky I've ever seen.

2788
19:09:11,151 --> 19:09:15,255
These red rocks.
The whole place is just --

2789
19:09:15,322 --> 19:09:18,125
It really does defy description.

2790
19:09:18,192 --> 19:09:21,228
-It's always nice to discover
something you weren't expecting.

2791
19:09:21,295 --> 19:09:23,197
After a trip
on the Rocky Mountaineer,

2792
19:09:23,263 --> 19:09:25,465
a lot of people say
they were able to just relax

2793
19:09:25,532 --> 19:09:27,768
and get rid of a lot of stress.

2794
19:09:27,835 --> 19:09:30,404
This can only happen
on a venture like this.

2795
19:09:30,470 --> 19:09:32,706
-It's such an enjoyable way
to travel

2796
19:09:32,773 --> 19:09:35,108
that maybe we've lost
a little bit of that.

2797
19:09:35,175 --> 19:09:37,711
We're always trying
to get to a destination

2798
19:09:37,778 --> 19:09:40,180
and not enjoy the journey,

2799
19:09:40,247 --> 19:09:41,915
and this is a great way
to enjoy it,

2800
19:09:41,982 --> 19:09:45,052
to connect, and to
start off your vacation.

2801
19:09:45,118 --> 19:09:50,490
You arrive there relaxed and
and ready to see some sights.

2802
19:09:50,557 --> 19:09:52,125
-The Rocky Mountaineer
turns the Rockies

2803
19:09:52,192 --> 19:09:54,828
to the Red Rocks
from a dream to an experience

2804
19:09:54,895 --> 19:09:58,065
that will bring you
back in time and time again.

2805
19:09:58,131 --> 19:09:59,867
-And everything
that we've been exposed to

2806
19:09:59,933 --> 19:10:02,870
so far today
and will carry through tomorrow,

2807
19:10:02,936 --> 19:10:04,738
I can't put a price on that.

2808
19:10:04,805 --> 19:10:05,806
It's immeasurable.

2809
19:10:05,873 --> 19:10:08,008
It's absolutely fantastic.

2810
19:10:08,075 --> 19:10:09,743

Stark, strong and colorful.

3266
19:32:48,869 --> 19:32:51,171
It's a testament to our

19:32:51,238 --> 19:32:53,807
horsepower and the passion

3268
19:32:53,874 --> 19:32:56,210
present a little slice of

3269
19:32:56,944 --> 19:32:59,179
history, one that can be

the Illinoisll that visit

isconsin,

19:33:05,285 --> 19:33:08,589
where the air is so fresh, here
in the legendary Northwoods.

3274
19:33:08,655 --> 19:33:10,991
We're about to introduce you
to a determined family

3275
19:33:11,058 --> 19:33:12,726
that never says "we can't."

3276
19:33:12,793 --> 19:33:14,895
And over the last 25 years,
they have created

3277
19:33:14,962 --> 19:33:18,432
some of the most unique
rail venues in North America.

3278
19:33:18,498 --> 19:33:20,868
-Thank you.
[ Indistinct conversations ]

3279
19:33:20,934 --> 19:33:24,271
-Dining, lounge,
and sleeping cars

3280
19:33:25,739 --> 19:33:29,309
bring back fond memories
of America's railroad past,

3281
19:33:29,376 --> 19:33:34,248
mostly only seen in history
books and old movies today.

3282
19:33:34,314 --> 19:33:36,783
But a family in the small town
of Trego, Wisconsin,

3283
19:33:36,850 --> 19:33:38,919
have re-created
parts of that era,

3284
19:33:38,986 --> 19:33:41,522
along with introducing
an array of new venues,

3285
19:33:41,588 --> 19:33:44,925
to catch the imagination
of current generations.

3286
19:33:44,992 --> 19:33:48,028
-What you'll find here
at the Wisconsin Great Northern

3287
19:33:48,095 --> 19:33:51,031
is absolutely unique
in the industry.

3288
19:33:51,098 --> 19:33:53,734
Different services,
different equipment.

3289
19:33:53,800 --> 19:33:56,103
Every time you come back,

3290
19:33:56,170 --> 19:34:01,842
I can pretty much guarantee
it'll be a different experience.

3291
19:34:02,142 --> 19:34:04,011
-Different than any other
tourist railroad

3292
19:34:04,077 --> 19:34:05,245
in North America

3293
19:34:05,312 --> 19:34:07,981
when you experience
all the venues they offer,

3294
19:34:08,048 --> 19:34:11,084
with wine tastings
and a historic dome car,

3295
19:34:11,151 --> 19:34:15,422
pizza trains for the kids,
fine dining for the adults,

3296
19:34:15,489 --> 19:34:17,891
a one-of-a-kind
bed-and-breakfast,

3297
19:34:17,958 --> 19:34:20,661
and on the horizon are
a restoration of a streamliner

3298
19:34:20,727 --> 19:34:23,297
that seemed more
a sky-flying rocket ship

3299
19:34:23,363 --> 19:34:25,265
than railroad-bound.

3300
19:34:25,332 --> 19:34:29,670
-People want something
unique to experience.

3301
19:34:30,237 --> 19:34:34,174
And so that's what we're trying
to present to the public,

3302
19:34:34,241 --> 19:34:37,644
is a unique opportunity that
they can't get anyplace else,

3303
19:34:37,711 --> 19:34:40,180
whether it be by the service
we provide

3304
19:34:40,247 --> 19:34:42,249
or by the equipment
that we operate,

3305
19:34:42,316 --> 19:34:45,352
that it's different
from everybody else.

3306
19:34:45,419 --> 19:34:46,987
-The Wisconsin Great
Northern Railroad

3307
19:34:47,054 --> 19:34:49,556
has been running since 1997.

3308
19:34:49,623 --> 19:34:52,659
In those early days,
it was a multitask operation

3309
19:34:52,726 --> 19:34:54,361
running on fumes.

3310
19:34:54,428 --> 19:34:58,465
-There were times when we just
simply didn't have the money,

3311
19:34:58,532 --> 19:35:01,235
and she'd sell tickets
in the ticket office, hand me

3312
19:35:01,301 --> 19:35:05,272
20 bucks out of the till.
I'd run to the gas station

3313
19:35:05,339 --> 19:35:07,241
and get 15 gallons
of diesel fuel,

3314
19:35:07,307 --> 19:35:09,409
drive around the back side
of the train, and pour it in.

3315
19:35:09,476 --> 19:35:12,813
And that was enough
to make the trip.

3316
19:35:13,380 --> 19:35:15,816
-Sheer persistence
helped the railroad grow,

3317
19:35:15,883 --> 19:35:18,952
along with the elimination
of a certain word.

3318
19:35:19,019 --> 19:35:20,854
-There is no such word
as "can't."

3319
19:35:20,921 --> 19:35:22,623
You may say, "Oh, I can't."

3320
19:35:22,689 --> 19:35:24,525
Well, you just find
a way to do.

3321
19:35:24,591 --> 19:35:28,695
And so it might be a convoluted
way of doing something,

3322
19:35:28,762 --> 19:35:31,765
but you try your darndest
to find a way to get it done.

3323
19:35:31,832 --> 19:35:33,867
-I don't recognize
the word "can't."

3324
19:35:33,934 --> 19:35:35,269
Don't tell me it can't be done

3325
19:35:35,335 --> 19:35:39,573
because we'll show you
how fast it can be done.

3326
19:35:41,241 --> 19:35:43,043
-Greg and Mardell's son,
Alexander,

3327
19:35:43,110 --> 19:35:45,712
has grown up around trains
his whole life,

3328
19:35:45,779 --> 19:35:47,614
and because of that,
he bluntly dismisses

3329
19:35:47,681 --> 19:35:49,683
more popular teen pursuits.

3330
19:35:49,750 --> 19:35:52,085
-Cars suck. Trains rule.

3331
19:35:53,453 --> 19:35:56,056
And sports are overrated.

3332
19:35:56,123 --> 19:35:59,193
All right. We are now coming
into the Namekagon River

3333
19:35:59,259 --> 19:36:01,161
and Veazie Springs.

3334
19:36:02,129 --> 19:36:03,330
-Like his parents,

3335
19:36:03,397 --> 19:36:06,166
Alexander wears a lot of hats
on this railroad.

3336
19:36:06,233 --> 19:36:10,337
Tonight, he's a server
and is impressing his guests.

3337
19:36:10,404 --> 19:36:12,206
-He was an anomaly.

3338
19:36:13,707 --> 19:36:15,809
An amazing young man.

3339
19:36:15,876 --> 19:36:19,713
-Yeah, another day
of Alexander fan club.

3340
19:36:19,780 --> 19:36:22,783
-You see a little bit
of that funny, ha-ha sarcasm.

3341
19:36:22,850 --> 19:36:25,786
He's always learned sarcasm.
He's learned it good.

3342
19:36:25,853 --> 19:36:30,324
I like to describe him
as my 83-year-old farmer.

3343
19:36:31,124 --> 19:36:34,494
He is very straight-faced
around people

3344
19:36:34,561 --> 19:36:36,997
he doesn't necessarily know.

3345
19:36:37,064 --> 19:36:38,131
-Just a sponge.

3346
19:36:38,198 --> 19:36:40,667
He just picks up data
and information

3347
19:36:40,734 --> 19:36:42,336
about the various pieces
of equipment

3348
19:36:42,402 --> 19:36:44,204
like I can't even imagine.

3349
19:36:44,271 --> 19:36:47,875
He knows more about
the equipment than I do.

3350
19:36:47,941 --> 19:36:50,978
-The family stays very busy
doing a variety of jobs

3351
19:36:51,044 --> 19:36:53,347
for each of its unique trips.

3352
19:36:53,413 --> 19:36:55,816
There is one constant
in all of them, though --

3353
19:36:55,883 --> 19:37:00,454
experiencing the splendor and
beauty of the Great Northwoods.

3354
19:37:00,521 --> 19:37:02,856
-You can't beat the view.
It's so beautiful in the fall,

3355
19:37:02,923 --> 19:37:07,394
especially when the tamaracks
start to change.

3356
19:37:07,461 --> 19:37:10,898
-Through the pastoral
landscape and deep woods, guests

3357
19:37:10,964 --> 19:37:13,901
take in all the beauty
this trip offers.

3358
19:37:13,967 --> 19:37:16,737
One of the favorite spots
is so serene and peaceful,

3359
19:37:16,803 --> 19:37:19,439
the train comes to a stop
to allow all

3360
19:37:19,506 --> 19:37:23,610
to take in the natural wonders
of the Namekagon River.

3361
19:37:23,677 --> 19:37:26,747
-When we stopped
at the watershed earlier,

3362
19:37:26,813 --> 19:37:30,017
we just thought it was like
someone had painted the sky

3363
19:37:30,083 --> 19:37:31,285
and the brush.

3364
19:37:31,351 --> 19:37:33,820
Like, it was just so beautiful
with the sunset

3365
19:37:33,887 --> 19:37:35,355
and the moon over top.

3366
19:37:35,422 --> 19:37:39,226
I just love every moment of it,
honestly.

3367
19:37:40,527 --> 19:37:42,596
-And what could add
to these moments?

3368
19:37:42,663 --> 19:37:43,931
How about a meal prepared

3369
19:37:43,997 --> 19:37:46,900
and served in your own
private dining room?

3370
19:37:46,967 --> 19:37:48,735
-The dinner was amazing.

3371
19:37:48,802 --> 19:37:51,405
It was just beyond expectations,
honestly,

3372
19:37:51,471 --> 19:37:53,440
to get to spend time
with family here,

3373
19:37:53,507 --> 19:37:57,311
to look out and see
this painterly landscape

3374
19:37:57,377 --> 19:38:01,348
that just glistens
and is golden with autumn light.

3375
19:38:01,415 --> 19:38:04,218
I just love every moment of it.

3376
19:38:07,487 --> 19:38:09,790
-Fine dining is just
one of the many options here

3377
19:38:09,857 --> 19:38:11,491
on the Wisconsin
Great Northern Railroad.

3378
19:38:11,558 --> 19:38:12,993
-Here's your pepperoni pizza,
Mr. Van Camp.

3379
19:38:13,060 --> 19:38:15,829
-Thank you, Jose.
The other is their pizza train,

3380
19:38:15,896 --> 19:38:18,165
and it is definitely
a hit with families.

3381
19:38:18,232 --> 19:38:20,734
-It's very unique.
The kids love it.

3382
19:38:20,801 --> 19:38:22,035
They get to go on a train,

3383
19:38:22,102 --> 19:38:23,837
and they get to have
their favorite meal.

3384
19:38:23,904 --> 19:38:26,673
They are cheeseaholics,
being from Wisconsin.

3385
19:38:26,740 --> 19:38:27,808
[ Laughs ]

3386
19:38:27,875 --> 19:38:29,877
It's very nice to have --

3387
19:38:29,943 --> 19:38:34,348
have this here and keep that
in our culture.

3388
19:38:34,414 --> 19:38:35,649
-Speaking of culture,

3389
19:38:35,716 --> 19:38:37,451
the Wisconsin
Great Northern Railroad

3390
19:38:37,518 --> 19:38:41,255
also offers a sophisticated
wine and cheese pairing trip

3391
19:38:41,321 --> 19:38:44,892
aboard the Sky Parlour,
a 1956 dome car

3392
19:38:45,459 --> 19:38:48,295
that was once part
of the famed <i>El Capitan</i>

3393
19:38:48,362 --> 19:38:51,331
that operated from Chicago
to Los Angeles

3394
19:38:51,398 --> 19:38:53,233
on the Santa Fe Railroad.

3395
19:38:53,300 --> 19:38:55,769
-It's definitely
a rolling piece of history.

3396
19:38:55,836 --> 19:38:57,871
It's really neat to be
on something like this.

3397
19:38:57,938 --> 19:39:00,807
Unique experience, for sure.
The wine was great.

3398
19:39:00,874 --> 19:39:04,745
The train ride experience
was awesome.

3399
19:39:04,811 --> 19:39:07,548
-The various train rides
run about 2 1/2 hours.

3400
19:39:07,614 --> 19:39:10,317
And for many guests,
they can't bear to leave.

3401
19:39:10,384 --> 19:39:12,052
So leave it
to the Wisconsin Great Northern

3402
19:39:12,119 --> 19:39:14,555
to offer something
for them to stay --

3403
19:39:14,621 --> 19:39:17,958
a unique experience with
their bed-and-breakfast package,

3404
19:39:18,025 --> 19:39:20,661
where delighted travelers
ride and dine

3405
19:39:20,727 --> 19:39:23,864
and get to sleep overnight
in their historic cars.

3406
19:39:23,931 --> 19:39:26,033
-It way exceeded
my expectations.

3407
19:39:26,099 --> 19:39:28,101
It was first-class all the way.

3408
19:39:28,168 --> 19:39:29,369
The staff was awesome.

3409
19:39:29,436 --> 19:39:30,737
Last night's supper --

3410
19:39:30,804 --> 19:39:33,740
The hors d'oeuvres, the drinks,
the food was awesome

3411
19:39:33,807 --> 19:39:35,976
all the way to the end,
to the dessert.

3412
19:39:36,043 --> 19:39:37,444
Then we had
our own sleeping car.

3413
19:39:37,511 --> 19:39:39,012
It was awesome.
[ Laughs ]

3414
19:39:39,079 --> 19:39:42,783
And it was a queen-sized bed.
First-class, first-rate.

3415
19:39:42,850 --> 19:39:44,017
-After a restful night's sleep

3416
19:39:44,084 --> 19:39:45,652
in one of the beautiful
railcar suites,

3417
19:39:45,719 --> 19:39:47,855
guests awake
to the wonderful smells

3418
19:39:47,921 --> 19:39:49,489
of a country cooked breakfast,

3419
19:39:49,556 --> 19:39:52,960
compliments of Chef Greg,
truly a Renaissance man.

3420
19:39:53,026 --> 19:39:54,394
Mmm.

3421
19:39:54,461 --> 19:39:56,129
Mmm-mmm-mmm.

3422
19:39:57,631 --> 19:40:01,235
-We believe that we are
continuing to create the history

3423
19:40:01,301 --> 19:40:03,370
of these pieces
of rolling stock.

3424
19:40:03,437 --> 19:40:06,974
100 years from now, hopefully
these cars will still be here

3425
19:40:07,040 --> 19:40:10,277
and still be usable
because of our efforts.

3426
19:40:10,344 --> 19:40:12,579
-Of course
I'm proud of all of this.

3427
19:40:12,646 --> 19:40:14,114
How could you not
be proud of it?

3428
19:40:14,181 --> 19:40:17,818
'Cause if I weren't proud of it,
I wouldn't be a part of it.

3429
19:40:17,885 --> 19:40:20,454
-Thanks to Greg and Mardell
and Alexander,

3430
19:40:20,521 --> 19:40:22,256
along with the rest
of their staff,

3431
19:40:22,322 --> 19:40:26,059
you can be a part
of something very special --

3432

by a dedicated family,
