A Step In The Mud

I am the first member of my family to ride this locomotive in over 70 years. The B&H railroad is a local railroad to me, which is 11's original shortline. On the weekends in the 1930s-40s 11 would pull excursions to Keuka lake, as highways and paved roads were not common at the time. My grandparents rode this very train back in the day, so 11 has a very personal connection to me.
As to the name of the video, a friend of mine lost his shoe in a mud pit on one of the run bys. They had to back the train up and throw him the shovel and a pick from the cab to help look for it. The shoe was never found...
Made for a fun day though, and a new running joke between friends.

Phenomenal work! May the shoe rest in peace... wherever in the ditch it is.

Another stunning video you've got here Kurt!

Thanks Julien!

Absolutely awesome video! I love how somebody spent the time and effort getting the details right. For instance the kerosene markers. They would have been displayed on the rear car night or day. Well done! And the vintage automobiles to provide a perfect scene. Looking forward to MORE of you, as this was fantastic!

[@KurtisHooey]

I really appreciate that :) thanks so much!
