We are at the overhead walkway bridge near the engine terminal in Grafton. (bridge is long gone) A short local crosses the river, and enters the yard from the west with a caboose on the hind end. There is plenty power sitting at the terminal this day. The second train is about a mile out of town with a string of hoppers, and also has a caboose on the rear. Video was taken with a VHS camcorder on September 3, 1989. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294.5™...

  • Just a compliment on your technical skills. Great shootin', Jack! You were doing great catches with what you had to work with and your transfers to digital are amazing. So good after all these years... THANKS!

  • @ThLuckyOne Thanks Luckyone. We did the best we could! Still behind times though! Haven't gone HD yet. But may be coming soon. Only thing is that all the good stuff is gone. Thanks for watching...

  • I have no comment. I'm just totally enjoying your videos. Excellent Jack.

  • @iusetano Glad you are enjoy them, and thanks for watching...

  • Great shooting location. Too bad they took down the bridge.

  • @bluecomet390 I agree! It was a GREAT spot. It may have been getting to be a hazard, as the deck was wood, if I recall. Thanks for watching...

see all

  • NICE SHOT JACK

  • I miss cabooses.

  • @generationll Probably headed into the yard, then they will come back west to the point the video was made, and take the track that cuts off to the left and head south. Lots of mines where loading down that way. Thanks for watching...
