A guest on Stories from the Shop for the first time! This time ‪@nickhovey261‬ joins us to talk about the time he was firing and running the Glenbrook at the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad during the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup. Some serious old school railroading went on, and it's a story of almost success, but some pretty cool things on the way...

Special thanks to ‪@Steamtrainvideos‬ , ‪@drachengott95‬ , and ‪@CrazyEngineer20‬ for the footage.

    11:45 Glenbrook just went super saiyan and shouted "MOVE IT!" to Eureka 😂

    As a compliment to CoS, because of the thumbnail I thought it was a CoS devvlog lol
  • Very cool story! If I may, I’d suggest keeping this format going. Not only telling your own stories, but every once in a while bringing a guest in to share one of their stories as well. It’s a great way to share additional perspectives and new stories. As always, great content and looking forward to more!

    Everybody Wooping, hollering and all because an 1875 steam locomotive managed to pull not just her train but push her sick cousin up A 4 and a 1/2 % grade It makes me proud
  • 22:00 Uhh... Holy smokes! That is simply an incredible display! A gorgeous, ornate 1875 wood-burner, rocking side to side like it's in a cartoon, with exhaust beat that sound like shotguns firing. Simply incredible. What a display of what these old engines could do.

    Everyone got excited when 4014 helped the stalled freight a while back, and it made some impressive sounds, but there's NOTHING like these old grandma locomotives giving it 110%, every single last ounce of tractive effort and steam those wood fired boilers can churn out, what a sound!
  • I LOVE how Glenbrook took that and ran and helped Eureka up the grade all by herself, what a seriously cool story this was, I NEED to hear about thr Dinner Train incident. Hearing a locomotive down a chuff is such a interesting noise. The engineer waving his lantern basically say "OPEN THE THROTTLE PLEASEEEEEE"
  • @peregrina7701
    At about 11:40 just as the train was clearing the curve and before Glenbrook yelled 'BANZAI!!!' and took off I suddenly realized what "little engines" meant. The coaches are enormous in comparison. Cumbres Pass may have eventually won that battle but ye gads it must have been worried when Glenbrook sang her fight song. Thank you for sharing and thank you Nick for the firsthand account. We need the story of the dinner train now please. :)

    GLENBROOK is very beautiful and the fact it had to pull a train on her own is wild and the fact Eureka really said: do it yourself to glenbrook:_hyceGuitarface::_hyceBirbscream::_hyceBirbscream:
  • @Arkay315
    I love it, it's like an Edward's exploit type of situation.
  • @erinswain8647
    I was the fireman on the 315/425 that came up the hill that day to rescue the train. That was the fastest that locomotive probably has ever been. That was definitely a day to remember out of a fun and exhausting week.
  • @CoalChrome
    11:50, the moment where Glenbrook started shoving Eureka all the way to Alamosa
  • Really neat to see machines this old giving it 110%. Often in preservation, the mindset of "preserving" your locomotive comes into play and sometimes people don't run them this hard much anymore in 2024, so this was neat to watch!
  • @KidarWolf
    Good girl, Glenbrook! Working for the money, and look at you go, you little old lady! That was amazing to see footage of!
  • @Surkai25
    Man. Is this the live action movie of "The Little Engine That Could"? What a cool story!
  • @JonsGarage89
    That single triumphant toot from Glenbrook after shoving the Eureka up the grade is the most victorious toot to ever toot. I love those two engines and hope to get a chance to see them tackle the grade in person one day.
