Old timers meet in Tarrytown

As if seeing an old New York Central unit wasn't enough, I had a great surprise as an old Pennsylvania Railroad unit came north to meet it. Here we are in Tarrytown, where we see Work Extra 543 (GP8 543/ex-NYC 5770) as it runs south lite engine on Track 2 so it can run around its train and head south to Mott Haven. Just as he is passing me, Work Extra 106 (GP35R 106/ex-PRR GP35 2310) makes some noise as it heads north on Track 1 with the President's Train, which is comprised of a pair of ex-EL Phoebe Snow observation cars and an ex-New York Central grill car. I consider this to be one of my better catches of the day. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on May 13th, 2009.

Nice catch! It's always good to see vintage Geeps still in action putting in a days work.

considering the caliper of intelligence of the average youtube foamer I deal with on here there's not much you can say that will make me feel like I miss anything......

I guess YouTube figured most people would be smart enough to read them when they made it an option when uploading your videos. Apparently, some people still don't realize that.

wait you mean we gotta read 'em now, when did they start doin that?

[FL92002]

Did I mention that I have a description? It kinda says that about all three cars.... lol
