    Holy cow, she is beautiful! Loved the images from inside and out. The GoPro, attached to the pilot, was an awesome view. Wish I lived closer. Love steam locomotives and she's a beauty!

    Very nice to see your final product come out, but I do have a couple minor corrections and comments.
    1392 was never owned by the Edmonton Radial Railway Society, she was initially a static display at Edmonton's Northlands exhibition grounds, before being acquired by the Alberta Pioneer Railway Association circa 1970. As the APRA was then located at the nearby Cromdale streetcar barn she was 'walked' across a parking lot on panel track, using compressed air to power her steam cylinders. The APRA is still the official legal name of the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Alberta Railway Museum.
    CN 50387 is a 250 ton capacity Industrial-Brownhoist wrecking crane, and was designed to pull 200+ ton locomotives out of the ditch after derailments.
    The black cat was named Jinx. After many, many attempts over the years he finally used up the last of his nine lives last summer.

      I dont know who I can blame for my commentary, i just recall details being a bit sketchy. :) The next one, we need a few safety meetings to discuss details!

    So as I understand it, they had trade students from a local school come and preform work for the rebuild for in class credit? If so, that’s an awesome concept and a great way to get younger (and very skilled) people involved!!

    I’m surprised that the Alberta pioneer railway association has only one passenger car in service. And how long is the trip

    • @meriachee

      Theres only the better part of a mile of track, which is really the unfortunate part of the deal.
