I'll be holding off on more video, ala the "Chama Steam- Fall Madness" videos I did, as Peter from Highball Productions was with me most of the trip... I'll wait for him to release his before I'll put one up here.

Nice video. I am so glad that it went here instead of going to rust in front of the Grand Canyon depot.

Is that wheel slippage I hear from time to time? Who's at the throttle? Nice job indeed getting traction and keeping it hooked up!

@modeltrainman12345 it is numbered from the GCRY and in i think about 2007 they sold the 18 cause they retired the steam program on the GCRY

When did you shoot this?

[foroke1]

Do they haul freight for show or do they make money off it?

[modeltrainman12345]

could someone please confirm or deny that number is from the grand canyon railway

because i have heard yes and no

[CSX6000]
