Cool view Roger.  Have a couple of questions.  Why did this run happen.....break-in test or something like that?
Second what engine was it?

It was 489 on Friday the 12th of July. The school train on their first day after class and lunch.

I couldn't help but notice how thin the Eccentric Rod is from this perspective.
Seems like it could bend out of shape real easy!

Great video, as always, Thank you.

That make sense now.  The first day after classes they normally confine the running to the Chama Yard limits.
The next day they hit the road!

       That rod is not moving anything that 'should' be difficult to operate. Driving rods are much heavier of course.
