Fun fact: The Allegheny was one of the most powerful steam locomotives ever built. Producing nearly 7500 horsepower and weighing in at over 1.2 million pounds. They could be seen hauling coal trains as heavy as 10, 000 tons through the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia (which the locomotives were named after).

CONGRATULATIONS

Re: The airplane, you called it a Ford “Trim-a-tor” I hate to contradict you but it’s pronounced Tri-motor, because it had 3 motors. The Ford Trimotor
Was an amazing machine. Other than that, I enjoyed the tour very much, especially the Lincoln chair. Thanks for the post, traveling was not easy back in the 19th Century!

You have to be from out of town to visit Greenfield Village! I lived in the Detroit area and was probably there a half dozen times. It was always on my agenda of a place i will visit this year that seldom happened.

I went there for our 6th grade trip years ago. It was a fun experience to see that stuff they had there. I remember that beast of a train very well.

The C&O "Allegheny" type no. 1601 is a massive locomotive to observe & is one of the most powerful types of steam locomotives ever built. I would really like to visit this museum in order to observe the 1601 up close in heavy detail.

Hoping to bring back the Great Escape Weekend back to Henry Ford Museum like they did it back in 1983 to 1986, it was a popular event back then, but I don't know why they took it off. It features the 1890s, 1920s, 1940s and the 1950s as the selected decades for the Great Escape Weekends. I went to some events during the 4 years run, before moving to Bremerton Washington from Dearborn Michigan in the summer of 1986. In 1987, The Henry Ford no longer have the Great Escape Weekend event anymore.

What was called a rotary engine was actually a turbine engine, a type of jet engine that Chrysler experimented with in the 1960s.

I love that place! But I haven’t been there in a while.. It’s great there!

So surprised Lincoln's chair is not in the Ford's Theater museum or here in Springfield IL at our A Lincoln Museum. Strange place for it to be in Mich. in a car museum. "Good old Abraham Lincoln" ah-hem....President Abraham Lincoln. We need to get that taken to Ford's Theater where it belongs. Wonder what the back story is on that acquisition. That being said, vlog interesting but a bit disjointed. We were searching along with you. Thanks for the views.

Used to go here all the time with my parents, back in the late 50's-early 60's. Very cool place. Okay, I'll bite: who's Skip Smith?

That Stephensons Rocket is an official replica and is one of a few built in England.
