Sorry I haven't posted new videos for awhile. I've been busy and RR video has been waaayyy on the backburner. If some troll posts nasty comments I apologize if I don't delete them quickly.

very nice I cas sort of disapointed this year when I was in Virginia City I had full access to the V&T all day and they only had the diesel running I rode in the cab and had a good time but it was steam I was there for #29 was at the shop I saw it but it wasnt running

How long till we see a video of the 29 going through tunnel #2(?), the tracks are through it if I am not misstaken.

This should be happening this week! On October 15 the V&T is running an Engineer's special for all the government workers, construction people and engineering people who have their fingers in this project. Originally it was supposed to be 200 people invited by Ken Dorr's daughter, last week she said it would be about 100.

will the 29 continue running on the new line

What is the history of this engine? It has a really peculiar exhaust beat to it as if the valve gear was damaged/worn. I can't say I've ever heard such odd uneven chuff.

Hard Core!

what kind of whistle does 29 have on her now?

[gaycowboy31]

last time I saw a five chime as I recall I know I saw a 5 chime for that steamer out there #8 or #18 one of the two but i could be wrong I dont think its a 6 chime
