    Very happy to have been the Virtual Railfan CamCon operator for this footage. Not often you get to see something like this. I've had a huge grin on my face all day.

    Just left there today myself. Been going here for 28 years now and I’ve seen a huge amount of changes with this railroad. I’m blown away how there is NO concern about the virus! 6 feet apart? Maybe 6 inches at best. Come on people, WAKE UP ! 👽

    At the beginning did they mean to say "diesel power" not "gasoline power"?

    • @LeftVegas
      @LeftVegas Před 3 lety +6

      Gasoline is correct. The 1926 Plymouth arrived with a gasoline engine, was SRC's sole motive power for 30+ years until SRC bought a steam loco. At least that's what SRC's website says. SRC's smaller Plymouth is also gas-fueled, though the SRC doodlebug was refitted with a diesel.

    • @K-Effect
      @K-Effect Před 3 lety +1

      ex- Vegan I thought Plymouth only built small gasoline switcher engines, nothing powerful enough to take routes away from steam engines
