Mark, I added this to your playlist on my channel. I love the rare RS18. -Walt
Thank you Walt, i appreciate that. I am going to add all your releases to the Playlist I created on my channel for you. I have a lot more video that I will be adding to my channel.
Excellent! Thank you Mark.
I always watch these cab rides at 2x speed. I still get to see everything, but it's more like an express train instead of an excursion, lol.
Thank you for Watching and Commenting! Locomotive cab rides are enjoyable even if they are at slower speeds, I do this for a living.
@@markjl261 I've taken what was called a cab ride before, but it was actually sitting on a buckboard wagon seat mounted to the front of the tender of L&N #152 many years ago. If I sat straight up I could see the top of the cab and the stack and a dome, but I also tended to collect hot cinders in my hat & shirt, LOL! Never have gotten to ride in a diesel cab, although there's an RS-1 doing excursions in the next county over from me at the French Lick Scenic...Maybe I'll get to try it someday.
@@Rebel9668 I am actually a shortline locomotive railroad engineer in Texas. I get to ride in the locomotive cab every day Monday through Friday. A Alco RS-1 cab ride sounds like fun, I use to operate a Also S1 locomotive where I got my start in shortline railroading. Definitely ride aboard the RS-1 you will enjoy it! 👍
This is awesome!
Thank you, I appreciate the Compliment! I definitely have enjoyed recording railroad videos in the past and I plan on more into the future years ahead.
@@markjl261 Something I’m still amazed at is how you kept the tripod from vibrating when the train struck the jointed rail, especially in the first, off-train clip. Usually, that kind of jointed rail being hit at that speed makes the video very shaky.
@@BessemerLakeErie902 our camcorder was definitely a good one, it cost 4,000 dollars and our tripod was a heavy duty one that cost 200 dollars at the time. The Sony Camcorder had a very good steady shot feature. I have another E8 Cab Ride and train chase I will be working on posting from 1998.
@@markjl261 Oh wow! That’s cool.
Can't beat an ALCO / MLW. Great video.
Thank you, this is the video I put together for you MLWQC, I am happy you liked it. Not sure of what became of this locomotive or if it is still in service. I have a couple more videos to eventually put together on UA-cam featuring some in cab Alco footage.
@@markjl261 It is a great video indeed. Thanks for posting this . You just can't get enough of ALCO and MLW :) haha.Thanks again.
@@MLWQC you are welcome, I agree there is no such thing as too much MLW or Alco!
Amazing footage! This is a rare sight right here! The 1801 didn't live on the Falls Road for very long! I've only ever seen 1 photo of it out there! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I met Marty Phelps at a Batavia, New York train show years ago and he arranged the train ride and Museum tour. I recorded this video a little over 21 years ago. It is a definitely a favorite memory that i was able to record.
Where is the 1801 now?
@@andrewtreece3708 that is a good question, I haven't seen any photos or posts of that locomotive lately.
@@andrewtreece3708 It's on the Depew Lancaster & Western in Batavia, NY. Same paint and ownership.
Nice!
Thank you. I appreciate the Compliment!
All aboard
Where was the RS-11 or the RS-32
