Re: Camino, Cable and Northern Youtube video

Thanks YOUNG Mike and Jerry,

Yeah, I remember the red and black paint, and the lettering that I put on it so that they looked good at the Pin Truss bridge for the camera shots. I guess the Plume car got new siding and the Tahoe car was rebuilt as well. They needed it.

I remember when snot nosed Jerry was running around trying to play conductor and young Mike was trying to learn how to fire a locomotive. I also remember the shelled wheels that the Plume Car came with and how it rattled like a tin can full of rocks when it rolled down the right of way. That was before we changed out the trucks.

There was a lot wrong with them when we got that equipment but they sure hauled a lot of passengers while we were upgrading them. It was nice to see the Yellow and Green disappear and to see that diesel get repainted as well. It's all still around, like us.... The worse for wear but still moving. Yeah, you too, Jerry....
