This is a very AWESOME video of two steam engines doubleheading for photo-ops throughout the day. I love seeing these old iron horses running in their full glory.

Now that's cool. Nice find! Something wrong with the one locomotive's whistle?

JoMiFu does outstanding work, been subbed to him on Youtube from the beginning. Those Berks look great in the morning and evening light. The Fort Wayne group does a great job with #765.


The Cumbres and Toltec regularly doublehead on passenger trains since the grade and train warrant it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AAaNx9_vA

Plus their "Chama Steam" event is outta this world:

Yes, beautiful. Triple header? Dang, I wish I could see just a single steamer out here. Amazing all the railfans that collect at the crossing. Train's full, too. Thanks for sharing! !!*ok*!!

Hmmm... Thinking aloud here...

That Pere Marquette Berkshire must be a reasonably simple reskin for the wonderful G-Trax NKP model...
