I love the prayer. Earl is the sweetest fellow you'll ever meet. Great video.

That big diesel at idle almost hear each stroke of the piston.

Wonderful! I love the old ALCo RS1, my favorite!

EARL!! The one and only...the BEST!!

So glad I finally got to make this trip here on youtube. I wonder how many of Earl's passengers know that he is local legend as a fiddle player and square dance caller? :)

We stayed one night in a hotel in Kingston NY. At 12 AM I heard some noise outside so I went to the window and was delighted to find a train. The railroad runs right in the backyard. I believe it was the Hampton Inn, if I remember correctly.

That Railroad doesn’t run freight if I’m correct so not sure what you were seeing

I've rode on the Catskill Mountain Railroad before couple of times in the past in Kingston NY

Wow this Alco was built in 1950 from the Catskill Mountain Railroad
