To be clear, I don't work for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad.
They have a D-1 GE diesel switcher, it was used for years when #29, the steam locomotive, was down. That's what was used for ballast contracting. Tom Gray was going to use the steam locomotive for one ballast run just to get a photo, but he decided against it because of all the dust involved.
The #8 Feather River Shortline locomotive was fixed and returned, it now sits in Gold Hill on a spur.

After I made that comment, I noticed a message at the top of the screen that Youtube was still processing the video, and that quality might improve when processing was done. Thankfully, it did. Next I will upload a video in HD, which Youtube is currently experimenting with. Usually when I export HD files the audio and video are separate, I have to figure out a format where they are together.

I see now my last two uploaded videos did not fit the new widescreen display from YouTube, sorry for the black bars on the sides and top. I have not uploaded for a long time and my video compression did not lead to the best quality either. The original HD/Blu-Ray looks crisp, but at least you get the idea here on YouTube.
