      @@JamieMakin I'm very happy for him and can' thank him enough for all he's done. I got to talk to him briefly last summer and expressed my gratitude. My wife and I rode behind 2102 in the mid 80s when he first bought it.

    Morning Jamie! Beautiful captures! You certainly put the miles in today, Jamie. I know it's a labor of love, but I appreciate your hard work. I think I like the sounds better than the visuals if I had to pick one. Those Estelle's and clanks and bells always get me. Hope you're having a great day, friend. See you down the tracks! 29:14

      Good morning, Dennis! Thanks for watching and for your kind words. The sounds of trains often go under appreciated by many, but I'm glad it's something you notice and enjoy. Hope you're doing well too, and I'll see you down the tracks you leave in the sand driving on the beach!

    Awesome video Jamie! Andy looked like he was having fun running 2102 to Tamaqua and then riding on top of the tender for the trip back to Port Clinton. Can’t wait to ride the Iron Horse Ramble next month from Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock in the Salisbury Beach.

He loves his food! Glad you were able to get out and catch this to share with us all who couldnt! Take care!
