Lol, I almost cried laughing when he talked about the 12 year old boy and said a little me I guess. He is as special as the engine.


For people without the time for the whole thing, do go to the end section whistle and just watch the engine run.

Wow, that was well worth watching...I grew up in Massachusetts and never knew such a facility existed...the man doing the show and tell obviously knows his stuff inside and out.

A wonderful video, even though there is much I saw that is at least somewhat negative that bothered me.

A truly unique situation that thank goodness some folks recognized and made the right moves. Now let's hope they keep moving forward and take care of those negative aspects such that the future of this marvelous machine will look brighter still!!!
