Les Jarrett and I included the Omaha Zoo RR in our first America By Rail video (The Heartland). The Austrian engine was the main engine, but they pulled the replica 119 out for us too.
They do a trial run in the morning, which they let us ride so we got our animal shots that way, then did some runby's and such after that. There is a steep grade right there by the engine house. It was good steam action and we both were impressed by this engines performance.
