It's Go Time! EMD GP-11 Throttle Time Operation - Clip #3

After simple instructions are given in basic operations of the Illinois Central 8733 diesel locomotive, Chuck Trabert is at the controls and starts his turn at Throttle Time.

First he heads down to the southern most end of the Monticello Railway Museum's mainline as far as he can go. He is not allowed to operate over any public crossings so we don't see the full extent of the museum's mainline in this adventure.

Monticello Railway Museum's website is http://www.mrym.org/
