to me, it is strange to see a Locomotive of the same design as one i have seen many times here in Queensland, Australia. AC16 221A is the one i know and i have ridden behind her alot. If i get over to the US I am definately seeking this machine out and giving it my full attention.
well, 221A is owned by Queensland Rail and they have a small fleet of restored steam locos so it runs infrequently and i'm not sure how often 218A runs as it is on a tourist railway in NSW
I was there for Railfan Weekend 2008. I never did get to see the video, because I spent almost the entire time taking pictures of the engine my great grandfather operated back in the 1930's & 40's: No. 12, the original Tweetsie engine. By the way, I would like to have this video, how could I get it?
Great work, Tim! Nice footage!
