Crew Callouts...

Stewart was indeed the Pickup driver. He also appears briefly in the bushes as the train approaches MP8.

I'm Conductor on the passenger trains; brakeman on the freight. I'm the one talking to the head-end brakeman on the descent down to MP8 on the rear vestibule. (I didn't even realize I was being filmed, otherwise I would have chosen some different language/phrasing.)

I'm not sure if any other NGDF regulars appear on the video.


The train stopped just shy of the bridge, as shown in the video. The track on the bridge is not rated for passenger trains, yet. The rails are not spiked (they are held in-place by temporary steel gauge rods) as we are awaiting a sufficient amount of tie plates to be procured or constructed.
