Are those MARC train cars open air?

Not to be too critical here, but that fireman doesn't seem to know what he's doing. He might as well be throwing the coal in piece by piece.

[baldwinloco12]

I think that was his first time working on a steam engine.

ROFL YES

@CSX6000 I don't see anything wrong with the way fireman does his job whats wrong wrong with it?

How far is the line? great video!! is that a hooter on her?

[baldwinloco12]

The line is 6 miles, 12 mile round trip. The first 3 weekends they were only going 3 miles and then returning. Yes that is a hooter, she travels with two, the hooter and the high pitched 3 chime. The railroads engineer usually decides which one to use, I prefer the 3 chime.

[2102FAN]

Ok i like the 3 chime 2. Thanks for sharing.

[AmtrakWPK]

I couldnt stand that hooter, thats why I kept using the 3 chime. I have my own but it was to heavy for this engine.

LOL I could not figure out where the diesel exhaust and air horn was coming from until 4:20.

[baldwinloco12]

Ya, the steam engine was there for 6 weekends, and after the third they decided to run the full line without the diesel. I have footage of that too which is much better. I will be posting that soon.

That's good to know. If a steam engine could not move 2 coaches without help, it's not up to much.
