Good vid!

at the 1:36 mark it certainly sounds like the "I think I can, I think I can" steam train of children's stories chuff chuff chuffing along!

A double header also never hurts my feelings any!

Thanks, Ylrich!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Very nice, Ulrich. Had that grade near the middle continued another four km, I think those two would have been on their knees.  It was clear to me that their chuff cadence was falling off about one minute into the video.  But, that's real railroading...only place head end power that is needed for the highest demand unassisted.

Great video Ulrich! There aren't too many man made objects that create a more dramatic scene!
