What are those tank cars carrying?

[srr7312]

@forgetdogs They carry some sort of bio fuel.

[LycoValleyRRFan]

How many cars does Strasburg haul of freight a week? Are they for many different customers or mostly one?

[zdrewbie]

what happend to the halfhour train?!

[srr7312]

@zdrewbie Strasburg made the decision that for the month of July they will only be running the half hour train on the weekends. Half hour trains will run during the week in August though.

When will 90 be out??

[srr7312]

@trainfann1 Tomorrow, the 11th. I was told by Doc himself that they are test-running 90 tomorrow.

Why was 89 out, were they planning on using her and for some reason they didn't?

[CSX6000]

@modeltrainman12345 They will be doing two train ops on the weekends; she was probably out of the shop so they could paint #90 and not get any on #89. She and 475 (and Thomas) are the only engines in service currently at the RR. 90 will be done soon and 7312 hopefully by next year.

[CSX6000]

Here we go... some freight action on the Road to Paradise. Nice!!

[KyleVideoDesigns]

Awesome video!  Neating seeing some revenue freight action among the steamers.

[srr7312]

@KyleVideoDesigns Thanks!

[landicon]

what purpose does that new line they put in by the water tower that cuts through a small part of the parking lot?

[CSX6000]

@landicon More trans-loading I think.

[landicon]

@CSX6000 aahh ok i can see that, thankfully i live by strasburg so i can keep seeing what they're adding. Spekaing of adding from the look of it, it seems like theyre adding a walkway over the bridge as well as MAYBE adding on to the museum

[CSX6000]

@landicon They're putting in a climate control system so it's warmer in there in the winter, and cooler in the summer. It will also help preserve the equipment from the changing temperatures.

[landicon]

@CSX6000 ooohhhh ok thanks for correcting me :D but are they gonna add a walkway?
