I absolutely loved my adventure riding the Cass Scenic Railroad pulled by the #2 steamlocomotive! You brought back my past remembrances of that beautiful day spent back on July 11, 2016 with friends one of whom is no longer with us. Thank You for sharing John!
Have not been to the EBT since the late ‘60s and so happy to see it is back in operation. Great piece of history!

I was amazed that there was no bulkhead separating the engineer from the diesel engine. It would have made things a lot quieter.

The railroads had hybrids long before the Biden administration. Here in Canada the CNRy pioneered the use of these self propelled units and used them all over the branch-lines in Southern Ontario. I recall one that was painted blah boxcar red and during the 1960s, after having been gutted, was stored in the roundhouse in Toronto filled with cables and blocks, ready to be dragged out to any wreck sight.

A couple of years ago I was at the Nevada RR museum in Carson City. They have an operating McKeen motor car. I was very disappointed when i learned it had been repowered with a cobbled together diesel hydraulic system. Nice to see the M1 retain its original power plant.
@poowg26573 күн бұрын
I believe the McKeen cars were gas mechanical drive, somewhat dangerous and unreliable. A hydrostatic drive isn't period accurate but I can understand why they went with it.

I believe that's a generator. An early forerunner of diesel electric drives. Many of the old doodlebugs had one powered truck with a single traction motor using either chains or gears to drive the other axle.

Thank you! We currently have two operating, coal fired locomotives, RGS 20 and D&RGW 491. A third one, D&RGW 346, is at the Durango and Silverton, getting boiler work done. It is our intent to stay coal burning as long as possible.
