We Found the Actual Brewster’s Millions Locomotive

Step inside the legendary locomotive from Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor and John Candy. We go inside this movie star for a full walkthrough, exploring the engine, trucks, air brakes, throttle and electrical cabinet, then we start it and pull it out of the barn. You'll see what USAF crews actually used every day, how these systems work, and what this locomotive looks like before we restore it back to its USAF livery. Filmed at the Southern California Railway Museum (SCRM).
