Diesel assist my arse, let the purists say what they want but it didn't sound very diesel assisted to me..damn she was getting her legs stretched nice vid
The crew was pretty happy with this run. 51 mph was reached, just short of our planned goal of 60 mph! This festival was a week of first for our crew. 10 consecutive days in a row under steam, reached the highest speeds with a revenue earning train since the new river days, and crossed the mighty Missisippi River for the first time ever in 765's life!
@Kleman09 Where did you guys get to hit 51? Very cool that you got to do such a milestone of taking her across the big muddy! Hopefully the Quads will do this again as I missed it.Kudos to a GREAT show!
@Tedeboy999 Yeah, I lucked out on not having a boatload of people in my shot. Just ended up at the places where photo line courtesy was there for the most part.
@nkp765ful IMO this was better than her Owosso runs. I rode one of those trips and we did about 30mph max, I believe. It was pretty awesome pacing her at 50+ along Route 6...
Berkshire Steamers were great Locomotives, I remember them well. I use to throttle jerk Baldwin Steamers for ATSF 1948 to 1950. I miss them. Great 5***** video :-)
note the smoke rings coming out of the chimney at 0:35

Looks like you had the people filter on through most of this except that one clip where Bud Bundy comes in from the left. Nice job!
