That's super awesome Dan. I have also started to see video of around that time frame. Bought a projector at a yard sale with a burnt out bulb and just got the new one in. Lol caught my brother picking and eating out of the nose hahaha. It was Christmas at the house right there on Trimble Lane in Hermosa right next to the tracks.. Grandpa owned the little laundry mat between the house and the tracks.. Oh the cherry tree, make my belly hurt thinking about how many I ate. I'll have to post some videos on my youtube account.. of the train and not my brother lol.
