Current plans for this unit are to fix her crank shaft and get her back into operating status (during events she pulled and doesn't operate), then restore 4 Southern coaches including the 1211, RPO Car 49 and the 12-1 sleeper car McChesney, if the budget holds out, hopefully.

@amtraklover The one at the TVRM is the sister to this one, the one at TVRM is #6914, this one is #6900.

Wonderful video, thank you so much for posting.

yeah me too. last time I went to TVRM she was in the back being worked on. I would love to see 6901 run again too but I don't think her motors work or something

I'm ready to see the #6914 run again.

I had a ball driving an F7 in Portola....now, it looks like I need to go to Spencer and see the Crescent.

Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful seeing this classic EMD beauty running. Definetly sounds like EMD 567s under that carbody. Great that she's been preserved and will continue to run. Thank you for posting :)
