I was doing some exploring on the YouTube and found this 11 minute video of recently restored U.S. Sugar's Pacific 148. Cool! It sparkles like a diamond!
But not a black diamond, it's oil-fired.

Thanks for that Ornhoo! "The Jackie Gleason Show" was a Saturday night ritual for us when I was growing up. It was good seeing Frank Fontaine again too!
"From Miami Beach, the sun and fun capital of the world, it's The Jackie Gleason Show!"
Whose E units were those? And where was that little stretch of single track with white ballast but a single-note horn?
It doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter when, South Rampart Street Parade always makes me smile -- it was my father's favorite piece of Dixie and it's now mine.

The units that were seen at the opening of the Jackie Gleason clip were SAL units - it would appear that the train operated PRR - Washington - RF&P - Richmond - SAL to Miami.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
