Metra F7 Cab Ride at IRM - Part 2

A cab ride aboard the Illinois Railway Museum's Metra F7A #308 (ex-C&NW 414). Filmed on Memorial Day, 2008 on IRM's demonstration railway in Union, IL. This is part 2 of 4. Part 2 takes us from IRM's Johnson Siding to the east end of the line, and back (in reverse) to the Schmidt siding near the east end of the line.

Под проводом надо ехать электротягой, а не тепловозом.

they really have a hell of an operation going. They even have thier own CTC system. But they rarly use the absolute signal at the johnson siding.  AKA the short double track area

[RedVoxVulpes]

Absolute blocks and power switches on a museum line? That's uh, interesting!

The track ends there until tey can afford to put in a bridge.

are these engine well maintained or are most of them all in rough shape and are able to run just because of their limited use with probably light loads all the time. I wonder when the last time this f7 got a engine rebuild

[strangledparrot]

does the track acually end there or is it just overgrown?
