Ah! Then car 803 should be called the Phoebe Snow Special!
Same me, different spelling!
KRM - I may have trains to climb on, but you have a fine collection of big-boy-toys to ride on.
I do !really like the paint scheme!
Wow that was a great video! Thanks Fife! Some times I think you east coast guys have it made then,,,, you do have a lot of up close trains and so many other things I can do without. But that is cool!

Yes sir!
Ah, somebody's got a P-26 in the works!
Thanks folks. Actually, the #803 "Open Air" car was designed by yours truly. It was fabricated out of a former Cincinnati commuter car. I spent 8 weeks in the summer of 2020 grinding, needle filing, and fabricating on it. It's gratifying to see folks enjoying it, and I like teasing the passengers who wear white while they're waiting to leave the station.
I know it hasn't been very long, but I just don't feel like I'll ever grow tired of watching 1309! That "excursion car" right behind the tender is quite unique!
Looks like a "Cupola Cam" is a handy thing to have, especially when it's raining!
Fun film! Thanks for posting it!
Here's how I spend my weekends these days...
