My Throttle Session with Canadian National 89 at the Strasburg Railroad

Today I had the privilege of operating ex-Canadian Nation mogul 89 on America's oldest short line. As always a wonderful trip to Strasburg, even as such a quick one, and I certainly enjoyed running this 2-6-0. It was extremely hot out and I wore jeans and long sleeves in the cab for safety reasons, but I didn't seem to care much with the breeze coming through the cab as 89 barked up grade. I don't think any tickets are left to run any of their locomotives this summer, but tickets are still available to at least fire two of their locomotives, 475 and 90, so get your tickets while you can, it's well worth it! If you only care after being the engineer, tickets are still available at the moment to operate their unique and historic motorcar. Only $100 too, not a bad deal. Special thanks to the crew as always.

That was fun yesterday! Caught me on the side at 3:32. Have a fun ride back up on Amtrak?

I nearly forgot this was still happening and didn’t know this like this morning and since this was a private event the virtual camera was moved so not show it to anyone who was watching the footage like me which pissed me off but it was their decision not mine

Even better when you get paid to do it, but nonetheless I want to run their engines!

Do you have any pictures or footage inside of 89’s cab?

[@JasonSchaedlerVideos]

Nope. Goes against Strasburg's rules to let any cameras inside the cab
