Heritage Park Brief Train Walkaround- December 31, 2011

This was mostly taken for YouTube user and trainbuff "happyhappycatt", but a quick video I did of the two train's out front of Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta. The diesel in the beginning I know little information on, but the final clip is of the Selkirk 2-10-4 T1c steam train, one of only two remaining in the world (the other, "5935" is on display in Quebec) If anyone knows anything about the Diesel, "7019", please let me know! Just to put the Selkirk into perspective, the main drive wheels are almost as tall as me, and I'm 6'3". 5931 is a HUGE chunk of metal! Sorry for the talking and "JEESUSS" during the Selkirk video, I was with my co-worker. Just to clear up any speculation, I was in no way, shape or form trespassing; at the time of the video being filmed (December 31, 2011) I was staff with Heritage Park and we were disconnecting the Christmas Lights on 7019's "cage". Just throwing that out there :P

@happyhappycatt Yes, it is a shame they're letting a rare train get run down like this, but the cost alone to fully restore it would probably put Heritage Park deep in the hole, money wise.

Good job,I see the paint has not been touched up,sad they are letting it rust like.
