Another great NYS&W video; this time pulling a steep grade in the snow.
Thanks for posting.

Awesome sound!   A good place to get the carbon cleaned out.

Very Cool ! You knew right place to watch the show !

That was a great video!  Goes to show it's not just tractive effort and locomotive/grade statistics - it is also skill and technique from the crew!  

Why are we seeing the same train twice?   Marty

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he didn’t make the grade on the first attempt and had to back down and make another run at it.

Exactly. Note caption, "A few minutes later." I was running low on battery power and thought it best not to video the train heading back down the grade since I wanted to be sure to catch the second attempt.
