Video taken at Ridge Live Steamers in Dundee, Florida on Saturday, February 26th, 2022 during their Winter Meet event.
Showing a round trip run from and back to the main station yard through a long tunnel, over bridges, tressels, past many yards and scenes, along the 7,000+ foot long main straight. There is a lot to see in this video so watching it on a big screen is highly recommended.
The steam locomotive on the point of this train is an Illinois Central Railroad, 2-8-2 Heavy Makado coal fired and fitted with an actual hooter type freight whistle which can be seen at the center along side the boiler at the end of the video. The coal used made for impressive smoke and the unmistakable aroma of soft bituminous.
The trip took just under 30 minutes and the weather could not have been better.
