Love this footage captured in Greenville. I still live there and I am considering on doing a documentary about the railroads in Greenville, Michigan from the early days to the end as Electrolux left which led to the end of rails in Greenville. Would it be possible if we can work out a deal for me to use your footage for the potential documentary?

Thanks for that Christmas joy ride. Everything went perfect. No long walk back, or worst, with no one to help, what a long push, or pull, or stay there, i´ll pick you up in spring after thaw... Pretty long run with a snowplow clearing the track. With a snow blower, sort of when it´s finish, it snowed again. How big is the club ? (Ok read it 5 miles) Wish you a pleasant 2025 with many rides.

I broke down on the far side of the railroad before. It happened during a meet when everyone else went for dinner. It was a long walk back. Then, after dinner, I was able to get a ride out to my train and make temporary field repairs. Thanks for watching

@@steamloggerAbsolutely agree. Saw the stick before you hit it, thought "boy, I hope that doesn't derail him", then WHAM. It appeared from there to the end of the ride you were level or downhill, so you may not notice a loss of power until climbing the next day. One more thing....PLEASE mic yourself while narrating a ride. The trainset wheel noise is very low, but even cranking up the volume I can only understand your comments once in a while. Love the video!
