Oh ya !  Coming past the NP semaphores ! Those were great !  Thanks . --Kelly

The passenger consist is very impressive.  Where did they get all those car decorated so similarly?  

Very nice. In addition to the loud steam loco, I love to see the motorized semaphore blades move. Darn! Look at all those dome cars! That must have been quite a ride.

None of those passenger cars belonged to the either the 700 group, nor the SP 4449 group, that was also "contracted" to pull that train set. That was a high-end passenger train tour group that was operating on the MRL for some time. The 700 was "contracted" to handle the train first, then some time later, the SP 4449 handled the train.

Really NICE and interesting video!
