You'd think that since all I have to do is pass 6 houses, turn right and turn left when I get there I'd be riding these trains more often!  Big Smile

 

 

Was in the valley last weekend checking the 6771/6777 duo at work.  I would suggest getting there to see them as soon as you can.  One volunteer told me the lash up would not last once the tour line got into full into its regular season.  I e-mailed the main office and they advised me they will be together for a while longer.

Two ALCo FPA-4's together, they looked great !

Kudos to the cvl on the rebuilding of the 6777. She looks great and I'm sure will sound great running Thur the valley. Got to appreciate any group that continues to run and support alco passenger power.  Thanks.
