Buffalo Line Operating Session

This is from a recent ops session where, as part of the 18 man crew, I got to operate one of the two yard engines at the "Enola" yard. Thanks to Steve Mallory for inviting me to join their monthly session. Enjoy!

Very nice

Great looking layout and equipment. Very nice job editing and adding graphics. 

I like to hear operators and the train sounds, rather than FOX football music, buts that just me. 

Looking forward to more.

Other Crew

Thanks for the clarification. Many don't get to an operating session and don't realize all the work that goes into and during a session. Sometimes we waited for a train to "double the hill" before arriving at the yard, and then we worked our butts off sorting and making up strings of cars for the in and outbounds seemingly arriving together. It's work, but a fun time - especially for an old railroader like me.

As for the music - not our choice as we didn't produce the video. (You can always turn down the sound.) Sometimes all the radio chatter and background noise is less desirable.

See you next session, Ron!

Love those trees

He needs to do an article on how to make those great looking trees.  Love those Pennsy signals too!

Thanks!
