    I've always said that it was impossible to take a bad shot of Burlington Bridge, but that ending was heartstopping. Bravo Joe! I really enjoyed seeing the Lackawanna and Nickel Plate Road engines--and also the Mexican one honoring their personnel. Another great one!

    Are the Cumberland sirens at 4:41 a test, or was there a real incident? Most municipalities test their sirens on a weekday, not Saturday. Around here (northern IL), it's 10 am on the first Tuesday of every month.

      @nosenugget 7 дней назад +1

      I did some googling as I was curious myself. Seems like it was likely an actual fire or EMS call, as Cumberland MD apparently still uses it to signal emergencies to the VFD as the hilly terrain in the area makes radio signals (pagers, radios, etc) somewhat problematic and unreliable.
