MRSR 1996 event complete

When I first posted my analog footage of The Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad's 1996 Spring photo event ten years ago I had to split things up because at the time KZbin wouldn't allow posts to be over 15 minutes in length. Here's the full length all-in-one. My cam was a Sony 8mm cassette recorder so it ain't high quality by any means.

Brian Falzon I wish but while I’ve heard many different stories about what the plans are the only official answers I’ve gotten is there aren’t any

[@brianfalzon6739]

@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan When did you hear that?

[@BentraxVideos]

Thanks for posting!

This video testifies that, when once these machines were regarded less against the priority of keeping the industries moving, nowadays they are truly the stars of the show getting the recognition they long deserved. Regards, Samuel Farris.

[@nssteampunk4865]

Had an amazing Ashton 6 inch 3 chime whistle

[@nssteampunk4865]

That whistle would sound really nice on our #3.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Bring back the geared locomotives Climax 10, Shays 11 and 2, and Heisler 91

Why not find a good home for #5?

[@VT29steamtrain]

Would love to see her in steam again one day. Maybe the Oregon Coast Scenic or the Virginia and Truckee?

[@brianfalzon6739]

@@VT29steamtrain Yeah, or maybe the California Western or Niles Canyon or maybe Texas State Railroad.

@@brianfalzon6739 or maybe bring it down here to Australia! 🤣 (only joking, but for real that would be awesome)

[@VT29steamtrain]

@@brianfalzon6739 who cares, it will end up where it ends up (and likely not the Texas State RR)

[@brianfalzon6739]

@@VT29steamtrain Maybe there could be another chance that 5 deserves to run again.
