Thanks for the detailed coverage of our beloved Greenfield Village Railroad during Old Car Festival! I initially thought it would be diesel engine first, then Edison second, but it turned out it was the other way around. I was on the train when the unscheduled stop occurred between Susquehanna and Smith Creek. I left early afternoon so I could attend a friend's housewarming party and drive back to Kalamazoo, so I missed the unusual occurrence of Edison substituting for the diesel engine during that night. Hope you had fun!

WOW!!!!! That's awesome how a steam engine had to fill in for a diesel because the diesel was broken. Normally it's the other way around. LOL!!!

[@traingaming99]

Yeah i still can’t believe what happened yesterday lol. What a miracle

[@Chris9017]

@@traingaming99 That's rare, but quite a treat. Old Reliable saves the day, or night in this case. LOL!!! That's also some very beautiful whistle blowing they were doing on Edison. :)

[@nathanjackson7992]

Did the diesels really break down last night

[@traingaming99]

@@nathanjackson7992 well yes. While diesel was at Firestone. There was a geese on the tracks. And the diesel was trying to brake but it was not working. Luckily the geese got out the way. The staff did not have trust for the diesel so they brought out Edison again. So Edison did the night runs. Your welcome for this information.

Lol the railroad staff were going to park the steam locomotive so thay didn't have to stay after hours for machnince but Henry Ford's gost said no plus diesels are pieces of crap and in my opinion diesels are not real trains rail roading spirit is in steam locomotive steam machnince is just part of life on the railroad the round house mechanics just need to suck it up and do the machnince just like it was before diesel

[@nathanjackson7992]

Well the diesel was scheduled to run till 6 o'clock and Edison was scheduled to run till closing time Edison parked her coaches and took the diesels because the train was shorter and not so many people were riding the train then

[@traingaming99]

Because they probably needed to be on schedule so Edison took diesels cars for the night

[@brianwu2697]

Well as Edison was the first train yesterday, it was scheduled to run until 6:00 that evening but then a problem occurred with the second engine, the diesel engine, that forced Edison to pull the second train for the rest of the night. That is Edison pulled both the first train and second train that day.

I love how right when Edison goes in, the diesel dies, and they have to take Edison back out, lol
