Awesome video indeed! I love the Shay with the 3 cabooses!
Great Video! Fantastic the Shay steam locomotive
Good Job. 👍🏼
Very nice, like
The shay got a new whistle! I got to be honest, the old whistle was better, but it's ok. Great video!
What happened to the portholes on the lead (Monon ?) E unit? The B and IC A units still have them. Interesting.
That's a BN E9Am. Rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen in the early 70s with a bunch of improvements, including new side panels. They didn't cut portholes in them during the rebuild process.
@@levans9911 Thank you for that interesting explanation of the E-9's rebuild by MK. Glad that at least some of these iconic first generation diesels have been preserved. In their day, the EMD E units were queens of the rails during the waning yet still golden days of American passenger rail service. I was fortunate enough to have ridden behind some beautiful E units from Quantico to Richmond and back during the summer of 1967 on the historic Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad. I'll always cherish the memory of that one day escape from the most challenging days of my life in Marine Corps Officer Candidate School!
