[steamtrain6000]

Did you use a flipcam for the music?

[metraF40PH163]

@steamtrain6000 Yeah, the intro, thanks

[Mr8704]

They have the crossing set up like a quiet zone crossing...

[metraF40PH163]

@Mr8704 Yeah they do. Thanks

I did not know Cedar Point has this. Yes it is a fantastic amusement park ride collection. Terrible what they did to Geauga Lake! They have a couple rides saved from Euclid Beach. Any tumblebug?

[metraF40PH163]

@gjhgjh Yes, they have a great network. Sadly I too was a fan of Geauge Lake. Nope, no tumble bug sadly

[JordanGray88]

@gjhgjh I believe this railroad has a station just outside of Mantis and Mellenium Force

[peterandben]

Nice, those are cool

[metraF40PH163]

@peterandben Yes they are! thanks!

[trainmandan05]

Those are ex D&RGW steamers. They used them to haul logs back in the day.

[metraF40PH163]

@trainmandan05 Not any of their engines. They all came from limestone quarrys & coal companies.

[trainmandan05]

You better read up on there actuall history then, I should no, I applied for a job to do this and got all the history on them.

[metraF40PH163]

@trainmandan05 um, it's on the CP&LE Railroads offical website. Their current fleet of the CP&LE RR never was used by the D&RGW at all. I know their history & I have talked to their employees including an engineer. They were never in log service just coal or limestone. Just google CP&LE railroad and go to their offical website. Nothing about their current fleet mentions a thing about the D&RGW

@metraF40PH163 also their first engine, the Maud L was traded to Disneyland for a larger Davenport locomotive. That Davenport first ran last week on a Wednesday as a 2nd train after Myron H. Judy was out of service for a boiler wash, and George R. was having problems, so they brought out their new Davenport, and I heard she ran pretty well, with a few bugs of course.

[metraF40PH163]

@Chris9017 Yeah I heard about that. I heard the throttle was "sticky" and the lead "pony truck" needs to swivle to take the curves better
