Beautiful clear images, well videoed, but why in fake monochrome? would be so much better in natural colour.

@eaglerock999 Because that's how I wanted it. Plain and simple. I like the saturation and levels of grey that are obtainable with black and white.

Very Nice!!!

I still wish I knew what the frig is up with her whistle-it sounds completely different from the way it did '95-'08.

I'm gonna miss her. It got really sad at the end, all the workers taking off their hats and waving. She served Steamtown well and has well deserved her slumber. The day she returns, whenever it may be, you can be sure I'll be there to catch it!

So what happens to it now? They better not scrap it! Those Rat bastards at steam town.

[yourweathertodayHD]

@97trainman Uh, no. She's in storage until they have the funds and time to overhaul her....

B.C. O'Brien was apparently a former D&H road foreman; D&H 7312 was named after him. I don't know why he's seemingly so important though.

I was on the 12:45 Saturday run for one last time. Your video is a great farewell to this locomotive before its long sleep. Your video is a great tribute.

I would also like to know who "B.C. O'Brien" is too.

at about 9:10, the video becomes very sentimental. :(

I was the cab rider on the Sat 11:30 am ride. Good to see the show from the outside on that trip.

[bigjim4life]

who/what is B.C. O'Brien?

[jimbo2317]

@bigjim4life he's one of the D&H engineers who last ran steam on the D&H...he also has a D&H GP 38-2 named after him.

[Strasburg1991]

@bigjim4life his name is bernabe, last time i heard from another railfan

What a touching video, But there is a light at the end of this tunnel, someday she will return to steam.

Thanks for sharing this.
