SP 18 Cab Ride

Yesterday (Sept 10) the D&S ran SP18 for what will probably be the last time. The purpose of the run was so that Soundtraxx, the model train company in Durango, could record her sounds for their Tsunami system. You can see microphones mounted on the stack and running board. They completed their recordings at Rockwood and the D&S used her to pull a work train with three drop bottom gons of ballast and Caboose 0540 back to Durango. I was permitted to ride in the cab and recorded this video. The train stopped south of the 550 overpass to dump the ballast on the ROW. Was a great ride, thanks to Nick Breeden, Russell Heerdt, Dylan Rogers,Moe Rael, and D&S management an awesome experience.
