Great work all! There's so many great photos here I can't even narrow it down enough to compliment anyone individually! Today I took a break from repairing track (I'm getting really sick of that!) to treat myself operating a train over the newest repaired track. The locomotives wheels were all clean and it was a pleasure to operate, at least until I (operating the lead engines and pusher seperately, two-fisting it with a pair of UT4s) didn't compensate for the tight curve at the bottom of the grade, stringlined 6 cars onto somebody's lawn...[:-^]But then I managed to get the train over the summit (the hardest part; which has caused several severe wrecks even with two engineers concentrating on keeping the slack somewhere in the middle, rather than just me trying to operate both ends while filming!) without any problems. I shot this at a low angle with slow speeds, dubbing in audio afterwards. It really sounds like the locomotives are earning their keep slugging it out against the 4% grade!<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF6T7OG0-eU&feature=channel_page" id="video-short-title-MF6T7OG0-eU" title="Railfanning WRS Train 407" rel="nofollow">Railfanning WRS Train 407</a>Enjoy!
