Wish I was there...

But I'll tell you where I DO plan on being on May 10th, 2019: Promontory Summit, Utah. I expect that to be one heck of a celebration. We'll see...

[FastFlyingVirginian]

@randommagnum You're right, that should be something to see.

Thank you for sharing in this (plus ur other videos) of an incredible engineering achievement...when my father made us visit there on my way to school at PSU (many moons ago), I was annoyed until I realized looking at it what had to be involved and, historically, what it meant. W/out the Horseshoe, trillions (gazillions or whatever comes after) of tons of goods would never have made it out o' the East.

What's name of the back ground music ?

[PRRK4Lover]

@01type its something like behind k4's coming home,

[TheGreening1]

@01type

It was called "Coming Home" and was composed and performed by a well know jazz clarinetist born and raised in Altoona. .

[fafnir242]

Hell of a K5LA on that Catfish!!!!

[meccaturbo]

@fafnir242: now you don't know for certain that it was a K5LA because it was dark. It may sound similar, but you can't be absolutely sure without seeing the horn itself.

[RollThunProd]

@meccaturbo Evidence to the contrary: 1. It was a Dash 9 pulling the train. NS has only fitted those locos with K5 and K3LAs along with Nathan P5s. 2. This actually sounds like a K5LAR24 with it's B Major 6th chord. (thought it is slightly out of tune much like that of all the NS 9800 series. 3. I saw this loco in the daylight in another video of the same train, and it had a K5LAR24.

[meccaturbo]

@RollThunProd, NS doesn't use K3LA's on new locomotives...those are only holdovers from Conrail.

[TheGreening1]

@meccaturbo

It was a newly minted DASH 9 supplied by NS. I was a co producer of the event

[bigg3469]

WOW!!!!!!! Now that is awesome!!!!!!

[engineco46]

I am glad that i was there to see a piece of history turn 150 years old

[OhioRails]

AMAZING! I wish I was there! What did the people at the event think of the music,,, did they like it being there, would they have rather not had the music?

[FastFlyingVirginian]

Judging by the reactions, I don't think they minded at all. :) Here's hoping I'm still around for the 175th anniversary...
