Although when I edit out 1943 in my head the consist looks better. I see that the steam foamers found the train. :) Date: 07/20/18 04:21 Re: It is out of the barn Author: bmarti7 Congrats Dan-great coverage.

However it gives ammo to the guys who say: "Behind every operating steam engine... is a Diesel." It is nice to see it (and others) run periodically without "protection" Date: 07/21/18 05:12 Re: It is out of the barn Author: HotWater dash944cw Wrote:

The diesel is required, in this case, for additional horsepower to haul such a heavy train over that terrain, and maintain the tight schedule. Also, the dynamic brake is VERY useful. Other steam operations, previously under Amtrak required the Amtrak diesel for Head End Power for the passenger cars. |
