I remember last year doing this very same thing by hand up here at Cedar Point. Was quite a learning process as to what makes a railroad run. These pics are neat.

Excellent photos of a unique and critical operation that is too often overlooked by enthusiasts. These guys are railroaders, too, just as much as anyone in a locomotive cab!

Thanks for posting!

Nice work! Proof, that if you like playing with machines and railroading, you don't always have to be in train service. Plus, MOW gangs have weekends off!
