- Rowdy, Chris and Craig ready the Polson 70 for another weekend of operations, this includes testing the rod pin bras that was resized at the beginning of the week. Our elusive and illustrious Roadmaster, Brian Wise, makes a split second cameo too!

70 is treated like Royalty, and for a good reason. Of all the steam engines of the collection, I'm glad it's the 70 that works because she's probably the most beautiful of the bunch since she's a Classic American Baldwin Logging locomotive, and she has a gorgeous whistle.
I hope she keeps lasting you many more years. :)
Great job capturing the feel of things.
The running gear really doesn't sound all that bad, guys. She'll hold for the next month without an issue.
You guys rock, watching from Melbourne Australia.
It does take abit of grit and determination to keep a Heritage Railway going, especially when your Broke AF and the equipment is flat clapped. I understand the challenges, doing just that myself.
Well done with your efforts, keep pushing forward and enjoy the journey - just like you are.
All the best,

Excellent you guys awesome job 😮 it was amazing to see the drivers move on the 70 I love it 😁 even my 40th birthday is coming up on 17th I hope and wish I can be up there I haven't got any volunteering update 😢
Oh shoot! We’ll check your email/app and see if we somehow missed something!
No more clanky-bang!
This a beautiful engine I am happy she running
Nice I can’t wait to see all the other engines running hopefully in the future
Fascinating viewpoint watching and hearing the knuckle work.
I thought those leaf springs were just for show, but they actually function!
17:24 bro disappeared 😭💀🤣
Rowdy’s working on being a shop ghost….
Nice job mission success 😊
Is your guys NP 7012A still in operation? I was able to have the honor of riding behind that classic EMD and I love the SL4T. I hope to see it in the near future ❤
24:37 was it intended for this part to have a calming feel? That’s what I was feeling at this timestamp.
Actually it was!
Do cool!
I know a BoB reference when I hear one
I remember the Railroad having an Alco S1 switch engine that was numbered 42 it was originally painted black with yellow safety stripes then repainted green to match some of the green painted passenger cars I’m wondering if you still have that locomotive
That is the ALCO S-1 in the videos. Several years ago it was renumbered back to the number it had while it was at Fort Lewis.
@@mtrainierrail very cool not only does it look different it has a different horn and different bell if I remember from when it was numbered 42 in the 1990s it it had a different horn and a different sounding pneumatic be very cool
I still say y'all shoulda hooked up the Ford Focus ditch lights lolol
We play with fire for a living but that's just asking for trouble...
@@mtrainierrail 😂
@@seymoarsalvagelol btw I like your pfp
Are bearing hard to replace?
Is there a greater chance of the pins and brass warming up with the engine under a heavier load? I would assume so but I’m unsure.
Yes, when they go out to test the work, they work the engine as hard as possible. The idea being if it's going to break, break it now.
Can we get the Engineer and Fireman headcams.
There are federal laws against that.
