Galloping Goose was not supposed to work. Built from a discarded Buick and sent into the mountains, this strange railcar became the last lifeline of a bankrupt railroad during the Great Depression. Galloping Goose is the story of how desperation, improvisation, and raw necessity created one of the most unlikely survival machines in railroad history.
In this documentary, we explore the true story of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad and how the Galloping Goose railcars kept mail moving through the Colorado mountains when steam locomotives became too expensive to operate. From the financial collapse of the railroad to the radical engineering choices behind the Goose, this video breaks down the design, the risks, the short lived success, and the inevitable decline of a machine that bought time when time was everything.
This is not just a railroad story, but a lesson about innovation under pressure, survival engineering, and the hard limits of compromise in industrial history.
