Hoosier Valley charter freight 10-31-09

[JasonA]

We ran a charter photo freight yesterday from North Judson to LaCrosse.  Below is a video one of our guys took while I made the last runby of the day by the depot.  We had 11 cars plus the cab.  The plan is to try and get some paint on these cars by next summer, for more trips like this one.

Nice video. I noticed that the pinafore signal was working in the background as the train moved past the tower and crossing. I've been to your place earlier in the year when the steam engine was out and running. You guys do a bang up job and have a nice place there. I will be back.

Here is video of one of the run bys from an interesting perspective.

Was it the mouse's job to push the record button before it ran away?

[halcayon]

Somebody had to do it.

I need to check out one of these fan trips they look like they could be pretty interesting. How are they coming on their General Electric 95 Tonner? Are they still looking for more motive power?

[halcayon]

The 95 tonner is just about done except for paint.  I'm not the one to talk about motive power, but I think the answer is yes, we still need more.

I was one of the passengers no the HVRR photo frieght on Sat. Oct, 31. And I want to say Thanks! It was a great time and it was done well, including our nonsense of asking for a lot of horn over bridges. Also, love the set up you guys have up there.
