The American flag proudly displayed on your sleeve, a fire breathing beast in your control, a gloved hand waving to the fans as you speed by and two grandsons experiencing an event that will only grow in importance as they mature....well done Rich! TJ
So cool! A great, but probably an emotional time, also. I'm sure that I saw you a number of times over the years, when I caught 765 in action. It's always great listening to you explain the workings of steam on the OGR Magazine forum. I retired in April of 2023, after a nice career on the railroad. I only got a chance to run two steam engines in my life, one being BEDT 15, before it became Thomas The Tank Engine. Great memories, for sure.
Congrats! That was an awesome video-always love steam trains and most certainly the whistle :) , certainly couldn't ask for a better ending! Thanks for taking us along for the ride as well! On to the next great adventure!
Thanks Rich
