street running in the cab of ITMZ 200

Cab ride in ITMZ 200 over fourteen hours before I made my first student brakeman run north for the "La Bella Donna" mothers day train
This is the run through Noblesville to fishers to pick up our Hamiltonian guests. The dinner on the diner guests are already on board and have begun their festivities

Did the elevator get service off the IMC or the CI? There are still some tracks and a few ties in the ground around the elevator from what i saw just the other day...

Looks like you're having too much fun Throttle Jerker, LOL. I haven't had to pull a rope for the since the Baldwin Steamers and the EMD F7s, an enjoyable ride from an old seat I use to set in.

It starts off "street running", but then it goes off onto the sidewalk. Kind of like a bicycle...

GREAT VIDEO!! I didn't know that there was video of ITMZ streetrunning in Noblesville. Somewhere in the part that's not in the street, there used to be a diamond for the Central Indiana Railway from Anderson to Brazil, IN via Noblesville and Lebanon. There is a Two span truss bridge back in some trees over what I believe is the white river. The only way I found out about it was through my Great Lakes Railroad atlas and the Google maps satellite view.

@SkyhawkACE123 The rails that went west from Noblesville was the old CI(Central Indiana), and connected to the Monon over in Carmel. Ripped out in 1986 or so.
