They should have sent it down the Stony Creek Branch. :)

Excellent footage Adam! It's interesting to see inspection vehicles like this in action. The horn on that thing sounds pretty cool too.

[CSX6000]

@GenesisSanctuary Thanks! The horn is probably a Leslie S-25, which fits just fine on a rail car.

Saw one of there Hi-Railers parked in Owego NY today on my way to work.

@critter7981 They're more common than the doodlebugs. Plus they like to use the doodlebugs on highspeed lines and more remote railroads.

@CSX6000 the body of a sperry car is a remodeled doodle bug

Cool video. Some of the best stuff is usually seen at night. Cool channel as well. I subbed.
