The railroads, one story at a time. Every video takes one question and answers it properly: the locomotives, the people who ran them, and the decisions that got them scrapped. Researched from archives and primary sources before a word is written, with every photograph credited in the description. New videos publish at 7 AM Pacific. The narration is an AI voice. The research, writing and fact-checking are done by a person.
