We ran the passenger train one time around the Wye in Homestead. The Pacific and SW1200 had no problems with it but the heavy weight passenger cars did not like it with their 6 wheel trucks. After that we ran the train into the straight section of the Wye and just switched the loco to the other end.

Dave, not many jobs that we can love to go to work every day, AND GET PAID FOR HAVING ALL THAT FUN!!! I had a few options and had difficulty deciding which. Commercial electrical install and/or repair, Electric motor service and replacement, railroading, construction, or a couple other options. I was top of the food chain for motor control and service, so I went with that. In less than 3 years, the steel mills were shutting down, so whatever I chose was near the end of a high demand occupation. Sometimes I wish I would have chosen railroading.

It's unsafe to try and uncouple those lines when they have air pressure on them Mike. In order to uncouple manually, you have to stick something sharp like a screw driver in the rubber gasket to relieve the pressure and that can wear a hole in that gasket and you get an air leak. These glad hands are made to uncouple like you saw in the video. They are made like that in case of a car pull apart as the train is going down track.

L❤VE the video! A really excellent close-up view of the couplers at work. Loved when the hoses let loose, looked like snakes! So glad to know you're always working well with others as a team. The backbone of the rails are good workers, and the fact that the company is on board, working with you all on maintaining things, is wonderful! Working together. Just love it! May it always be so! Happy rails!

Thank you for the really nice comment Trena. Yes we are fortunate that most of us here work very well together as a team. We are dedicated to keeping trains running and running safely. People sometimes tend to get uptight when trains aren't running as you might imagine. Very much appreciate your taking the time to write in and also for watching the ride on #22 video my friend.

Nice VIDEOS super Dave.....It be so cool to run tourist trains PERHAPS using 2 Cabooses on rear of last Engines ..But We will settle for Super Dave "TAKING US ALL ALONG "

I bet you used to watch Lawrence Welk too, I used to walk to my grand mother's house and watch him on TV then listen to Tiger's baseball on her old portable AM radio, I still remember her remarking about a player named Wockenfuss one of her favorites.

Dave is having way too much fun!😊 My wifes home town, Cureo, Texas, UP has a track running through town that has a 97° turn. Lots of squealing as the railcars pass on those tracks. BTW, it's primarily for moving coal trains to the power plant south of the town about 40 miles. It infact goes through one more city before heading to the power plant. Thanks for sharing, Ken

Cool Dave that you showed the run around. I remember when we did that when i was a locomotive crane helper. Some of the spur tracks ran in different directions so we had to run around the cars so we could shove them in to unload or load them.
