Another great video. A couple of questions.1) In a case like this, would a Rock Island crew take the train from start to finish? 2) On a short stint, say 50 miles from one junction to another junction where the train would get onto the Rock, and then back on home rails, would a CNW crew take the train over the Rock with a Rock Island pilot on board?

@@toddbehrends1373 - Detouring trains have the detouring railroads crew on board with a pilot from the owning railroad. This would apply to both of your questions. Thanks much for your comments! Mike

Amazing view of your amazing layout with a very long freight wow. The locomotives are quite impressive . Is the bell an electronic bell ? I do not know when they started to use one [in real life] Lots of great view along the layout such has the view over the bridge and Clear Lake Jct. Always a pleasure to see your video and layout in action.

The locomotive bell is a “gong” bell made by Western Railroad Supply. These bells are mechanical bells similar (same) as the bells on grade crossing flashers and gates. These bells were mounted on the nose of the locomotive and were unique to the C&NW and a few other railroads. Thank you for watching the video and I appreciate your comments. Mike

@@rimodeler7963 Thanks Mike. I noticed the bell on the nose but wasn't sure if it was "active" during that time. Thank you very much for the explanation. I appreciate it . Syl

Thanks for posting another Mike! Fantastic as always. I purchased the same IPhone microphone we talked about during my last visit as I hope to take videos of my layout in the near future. Do you use a gimble device when taking videos, or are you just holding the phone in your hand? The videos are really steady and smooth.

Hi John - I have a gimble device but haven't had much luck using it (most likely operator error). I use a tripod and do some free-handing, but mostly try to keep the camera fixed. Thanks for watching! Mike
