    Excellent video, Joe! For only 4 daylight trips, I think this video turned out very nicely at a nice length. This sure was a great weekend, and I’m glad to have been of assistance for the making of such a production. 🙂

    Not since the two Xmas versions of T.V.'s Petticoat Junction have I seen / 'felt' such a nostalgic Nighttime Holiday Light Train. Beautiful Video! It has such a cozy effect I could go back to sleep again :√)

    Beautiful video! Are they running push/pull? Just wondering why the diesels are in the consist?

  • @fuscoproductions

    @fuscoproductions

    2 жыл бұрын

    Yes, the diesels are there mostly because these trips do not run the whole length of the line and are push pull. I also wouldn’t doubt that they are being careful as the engine is still fresh out of an overhaul and these were the very first revenue runs.

    …in due time, that won’t be needed. :-) These we’re the first public runs plus they were push pull as they did not run the entire length of the line. I am fairly certain that once they (a) feel more confident with the engine and (b) do some track work to allow the engine to use the turntable, the diesels will disappear.
