Looks like it just left E.M.D.

Ya it's really clean, thank you for watching Arnold 😎👍

[@ACLTony]

Interesting on the sprayed "MAX SPEED 79 MPH" wording on the dashboard (time stamp 1:27) . I'm assuming that either the unit was geared down during an overhaul years back or management simply had that posted since 79mph is the stop speed on the majority of Class 1 track, outside of the NEC, in the USA.

[@EdWhizAviationTrains]

Ya & I don't think they would even get close to 79 MPH on the museum tracks. Thank you for stopping buy Tony 👍😎

How long is the ride and track?

[@EdWhizAviationTrains]

Hello Mike, it was approx. the length of a football field for the ride but of course the whole track is a lot longer. Thank you for watching 👍😎

[@GreenRC24]

That sounded terrible.

[@EdWhizAviationTrains]
