Great video ... I just had to laugh, however, when I heard the radio transmission of "drop the 3-step on 765."  Centering the reverser, and applying the brakes are two of the steps for 3 step.  Not sure where to find the Generator Field switch on a Lima 2-8-4, to do that third. ;-)

on the move south

the train exceeded the 12 hos limits ... are there 2 steam crews called to work with one relieving the outlawed steam crew ...

also does the NS crew that starts with the excursion work a full tour of duty or mark off after getting relieved at Lehighton ...

GREAT video!!
