The henryford museum has this whole area of model trains overseen by itley, i last went some kind white haired gents who were eager as all get out to answer questions. So my main question was, do you ever get on the tables and stop on these, like godzilla? But i wanted to preserve the mystery, so i didn't ask, when you are taking care of the locomotives here, which you have known personally since you were like six, what does that involve? Because the locomotive that you have forward are massive. What do you have to do to keep those up? Doyo, have to dust them. Or look at this great

Trains. Locomotives. Choochoos. Bullet trains. Hyperloops. Subways. How fast can they go? How did they change American history? Why do people love them? What should we do with all that abandoned track? Can you marry a train? What's it like to shovel coal into a steam engine?

Alie went off the rails at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan talking to an official ferroequinologist and curator Matt Anderson -- who confessed to some youthful railroad mischief, delivered a succinct slice of U.S. History, has train movie recommendations and discussed cars vs. trains in the great transportation debate. Also, why transporting isn't always about the trains.
