Train is running westbound (railroad north) downgrade on the single track and onto track 1. Laurel Run to Dupont is double track.​

Great video.

Ed, I'm impressed at how much real estate you covered on the weekend.   You easilty beat the train from Laurel Run to Pittston and a whole lot more traveling besides. .  Gotta know the territory I guess.

I've been reading your signoff tag for years and finally get to see what it looks like!  Great video.

For information the Milw sold to the CN six Full Dome Lounges in 1964 in think. They became CN Jasper, Athabasca, Yellowhead,Fraser,QuAppelle, Columbia. I believe the cars pretty much operated west of Winnipeg until VIA retired them in 1982. So one of those cars is the car in the picture.  

Very interesting. If I can I will try and find out what number it was.
