Re: 41 video!

Thanks guys for all of your positive comments. It feels good when you guys enjoy are hard work. It also help show management that we are worth keeping. I feel very lucky to have this job, to work on and throttle two of three rare locos and one goose.

Steve Ill post video when I figure out how. Are railroad is mostly flat but it does have a slight grade around the back and most of us go slow then open the throttle up and just listen to her work.... a little.

We have been burning red colored farm grade diesel since 1952.(the goose uses the same fuel) It burns much cleaner. we can't run coal out here anyway.
Although we don't always have a clean stack,sometimes we ham it up, or get distracted.





Woody forgot the blower when they stoped!

Oh and yeah we have worked the locos against the brakes. Even with the timing being off it still sounds cool, when done right.
(fuel valve wide open, fire thumping out the firebox doors, engine rockin, clinker flying high) Its cool at night to watch the clinker flying out of the stack. Yeah we still get clinker on an oil burner.
