Love this video. 29 was my favorite of the 3 steam locomotives that ran.

As a side note, was that your live steam operation that Coconino County was trying to shut down?

[riograndedude]

@rh36019 No... that was Robbie Diehl... No Relation, and the only Diehl I've ever met NOT related to me.

That was rude of the conductor to say " get a hobby "

[riograndedude]

@xxxDeath9572xxx You'll have to realize, that the fireman who yelled that out, was a coworker at the GCRY at the time with me, and himself is a railfan... it's all friendly sarcasm at friends...

Shame on them ditching the steamers. You just dont see them screaming by anymore like you do in this vid

I cant believe they stopped running steam!!! Hopefully the 29 and 4960 will find new and better homes.
