Railfest 2011 9/4/11 Part 2

Oh man, 663's A200 is ridiculously loud.

We open up this video with Nickel Plate Road GP9 514 pulling the yard train past Union Pacific Big Boy 4-8-8-4 4012. At the same time, Lackawanna Railroad F3A 663 pushes the Scranton Limited down towards the switches. After switching tracks, 663 pulls the train up the line.
Next, as we make our way towards Amtrak's 40th Anniversary Train, we encounter a Chevrolet Avalanche with three different horns mounted on it, including a Leslie S3L and a Hancock Air Whistle. We then get up close and personal with the Anniversary Train, sitting on the display track. P42DC 145, in Phase III paint, is on the point of the train.
After seeing the yard train again, we take a look at some of the visiting equipment in front of the roundhouse. First, we have NPCU 406 in its Phase III livery, along with two special cars. We also have a pair of Norfolk Southern units, RP-E4C Road Slug 727 and GP40-2 3005. Finally, we see as Canadian National 3245 pulls its train to the boarding platforms as its deparure time approaches.

I think that Avalanch is Karl Kapriske's. He has Oh Well Productions. Great vids. Good composition for free handing it.

it makes me laugh,they call them selfs "steamtown" but have just one steam locomotive operating,ha! they should give this name to strasburg,they actually deserve it,THEN they should re name this "steamtown but not really ,actually its mostly diesels"
