@:The LISABLU You'd give anything to ride on 4449? Well you're in luck!!!! I happen to know Doyle personally, He autographed an O gauge 4449 of mine and we talked for almost 2 hours and he gave me his Email address and cell phone number, I'm gonna show him your comment and see if he can set up a cab ride for you, Maybe he'll even let you sit in the engineer's seat & blow the whistle!!! How does that sound? This might take some time to set up, But I'll see that Doyle makes it happen for you.
Ahh, Durand yard! I go to Durand about twice a month. I belong to the model railroad club inside the depot. Nice shots! Surprised to see autoracks in the Durand yard.
Are they still running #6 brake, with all the newer equipment? I tried to watch very close, but couldn't tell for sure? I know that is what they had in the day!
LOL yea i try. ive been around this stuff since i was born gottta look proffesional like my dad there talkin to Doyle. yes i did meet Luke too hes nice

I love being up there, but when it's hot outside, it's blazing hot in there!

@darkhound891 It always feels great climbing up that ladder, even if it is slightly curved.

I take it that your dad works for the railroad? most people/railfans don't just walk into a railroad yard. especially with 4449 sitting in it.
