Happy 4th July! In today's American themed Guide Rail special, we're crossing the ocean with steam trains, deep diving into as many times when famous locomotives have travelled from the UK to the USA (and Canada!) You've probably heard of Flying Scotsman's world-travelling tours, or the LNER A4s that live there, but sending trains to parade at world exhibitions was happening nearly a century beforehand. Stay tuned for part 2 when we'll also take a look at a collection of more obscure engines that you'd never expect to have been found so far from home.
2:52 - How railroads reached America
4:43 - Chicago World Fair, 1893
7:07 - GWR King George V and North Star
10:11 - Royal Scot
14:11 - LMS Coronation
19:58 - The Flying Duchess
23:05 - Flying Scotsman
28:11 - Dwight. D. Eisenhower
30:20 - Dominion of Canada
34:58 - But that's not all...
