That ambulance won't save you, it'll kill you at 2:07.

@rwhitenight I can tell you this, as a TVRM Volunteer who sometimes works these excursions. There are no turning facilities in Chickamauga, GA. where this train was headed. So unless they run with an engine on each end, they have to run long hood lead at some point. There is however a wye and a turntable on the line in Chattanooga, and a turntable in Summerville, GA.

Love seeing that GP30 looking that good after its restoration.
Long hood forward forever !!

Nice Video, Good Job.

@rwhitenight For one thing, there are no turning facilities in Chickamauga, which was this train's destination. If there was a turning facility, we would run the #2594 short hood forward both ways. Plus, most crews usually prefer to run long hood forward on the southbound run.

Thomas, I'll never understand the concept of long hood forward. That type of engine has a limited sight line, but to run long hood forward, really cuts down on the engineer's vision in front of the engine. What say you :-)?

I believe it offered better crew safety Richard at the price of visibility.
