The sound of the Alcos is great and while I did enjoy the different paint schemes on the engines, they look really sharp all matched.

I'm hoping to photo the PT98/97 in the near future.  I was semi-successful in August, but want to try again.  What time did the train roll through Cresco?

Was this shot with a drone?  I think it's an awesome use of a drone to give that perspective without seeming to be from a drone.

What time of day was this video taken?  Is this train still called on Saturdays for around 0800?

I posted this picture here four years ago. It's Cresco in 1958 and shows the Route 191 overpass from which the video was shot.
