Great train - but great video work too! New Jersey really only has one operating steam engine? They must mean for excursions, right? Well it sure is a beauty! Awesome video - LOVE the pacing!!

Thank you!

Soon there will be 2 when BR&W #60 comes back in spring 2012, and 3 when the #4039 returns to service at Whippany. Seems though that all the mainline trips have ended in NJ, the 142 only operates at Phillipsburg now. With NS getting back into steam, they should let the 142 on their tracks a few times. How about an excursion to Belvidere and return? Or, make a reverse move over to Easton, PA and back across and up the Washington Secondary to Hackettstown and return? Or on the main to Newark, NJ?
