Great Video! Beautiful train!
Dang electronic crossing bell...
Two outta three ain't bad!

'Nice to see that the elevator wasn't on fire.  LOL.

Great scene, Alan.

Interesting. Great winter scene. Not much exhaust sound from the locomotive, and that whistle sounds like an N&W J class type.

Complete with Beebe-esque Burning of Rome Smoke Effects. Fortunately for you and the video, with the wind from the southwest blowing the smoke away from you. I missed it on the Santa trains last year, but am looking forward to seeing it (and, fingers crossed, maybe riding behind it) this year here in Michigan. I did not know about this special Lerro trip and didn't drive over to Owosso to see it - but hope you enjoyed it. Enjoyable video - thanks.

Wow!

Very nicely done!  Take out that truck trailer - and the crossing bell - and the scene could probably pass for 1950, especially with that matched train consist.
