great video ! love the combo of everything,it was great,and that tower in the picture with the NS freights was owned by my fathers friend,but he passed away,and i think he also has some ownership in that little museum with the miniature train also,thanks for the post!!
@boberttrain831 yeah,he was really nice,and lucky he was part of the HI-Iron program,he ran some of the trips,i think the gold spike he was on but not running,and he ran some excursions with one of the Nickel Plate Berkshires ,maybe 614 and i think he ran one of steam towns G-5 Pacific's when they where running on the R&N .back in oh i dont know,maybe the 70's.he also was an employee at the BR&W with my father,but he was much older,and had been there longer,my father went when he was 18 i think.
@mike92586 If you don't mind me answering, 142 is owned by the NYS&W Technical and Historical Society. The railroad sold off all of its excursion equipment (including private cars and the two E8s) in 2008 after Walter Rich passed away. Not a very lucrative business for a freight railroad unfortunately. I do believe 142 was a donation from the railroad.
@GenesisSanctuary Thank you! I'm very glad that I finally had the opportunity to see her for myself. And lol, that was definitely a surprise. Pretty cool little museum they've got there.
What crossing in Three Bridges is the last shot taken at?

@boberttrain831 I swear that whistle is so common on locomotives in California. I even saw this whistle on a 90 ton shay.

@mike92586 21stCenturtLtd pretty much answered your question. Only Walter passed away in 2007, and Bel-Del has been around since 2004.
