Nice compilation. Good to see her on a freight. She sounded good working hard. Very nice catch!!!

Nice! Good to see them use steam on these runs! Nice that they threw in the caboose as well!

Thanks! They got out of Strasburg around 6:45AM and returned about an hour later. I think they pick up cars Wednesday and Friday as of now.

[@Bigjimvideo]

WOW... You got some great pre-dawn light to work with...or was that more cloud cover than anything? You were able to get some great angles that way (better than what I had to work with). Great job!

Now thats the way to run a freight train!

This is SO cool!

You could say it's a ghost of Crab Orchard Egyptian RR early days.

Since they're doing steam freight now, when 7312 comes back next year, they will have a little steam switcher to shunt the cars in the yard.
