  1. The whole black smoke thing with America is purely the driver opening up vents to put on a show, they both burn similar types of coal and the American oil burning locomotives do it too, its purely a literal smoke show, and the reason is English don’t do it is purely a green peace issue, already steam locomotives are frowned upon by eco warriors, imagine them pluming black smoke into the atmosphere, it would only place another argument against steam locomotives

  2. 24:19 basically, in the early days of American diesel trains, the company sold cabless units that were called boosters ( more simply as just B units) and the ones that had cabs were called A units. So the lash up that scene here is 2 B units bracketed by an A unit at either end. This was described as An A+B+B+A Lashup

  3. 2:13:30 So this is a quote from the IOS book, which details the history of the Railway Series prior to the first book and of the engines and Sodor as a whole. The quote is said by The Fat Controller (Sir Topham Hatt) when he first sees Henry for the first time, because Topham wanted an Atlantic type engine, specifically a GCR 8B or a 8D/8E class.

  4. 19:08 They're doing it on purpose. American tourist railroads, whenever they do photographer's specials and stuff, will often deliberately over-fire the engine to make as much smoke as possible because it makes for more dramatic photos. Personally, I hate it – it just makes it look like the crew doesn't know what they're doing, and it wastes fuel. But I guess some people like it, because they keep on doing it.

  5. 35:25 All the not-Thomas thumbnails are of songs from the artist Yonkagor, I believe currently going by the name Yon. I would definitely suggest checking them out.

    Edit: 37:45 I have also been looking for this clip! I remember it was uploaded a while ago, then whoever owned SpongeBob copyright claimed it.

    58:40 this old house/ask this old house theme tune; decent show, if you like learning about contractor work (Wait was it really Home Depot)

    1:01:25 It's cuz the engines on the right were called Mohawks

    1:32:00 I wanted it to be what I thought ):
