[@anselb2000]

Thanks, Scott! Looks to me as if a few cars have been added since the last Special train came through!

[@midwestrails8317]

Nice! Had I not been so tired from an overnighter I would've been at that last spot too. Great audio at that spot!

[@billwatkins276]

Really nice location selections!

[@mopac1957]

5:00 good angle-you can see the flames in the firebox.

Thanks for posting this so soon Scott! I heard it leaving town this morning from my house in the CWE… but I didn’t want to join the circus and chase. So I’m glad you did! 😂

[@yrunaked4]

I was at Carondelet, you got me in your shot, shooting from the opposite side of the bridge and tracks, lol. then Kimmswick and barely made it in time. Not sure how you managed so many locations, great job. I figured Desoto would be a complete zoo and after seeing how stupid the general public was, I didnt want to be bothered with it.

Great video, Scott! Thank you for your help with the radio frequencies too! You and I were close AGAIN! We were right across the tracks from you at Highway 47 on the large rocks! Looked like in that first video you were at McRee Avenue. We were at Shaw in the first one.

[@Frisco1522]

Excellent work Scott. You found some good spots. I think I know the guy sitting behind the fireman. Looks like they were sanding the flues on that last scene.

[@scottn940]

Hey - tell that guy sitting behind the fireman, if he gets tired of sitting there, I'd volunteer to keep that seat warm 😆 . Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@Robertmitchell2121]

[@BeeLineEast]

Awesome I wish I could see it run East into Pa. But I don't think that will ever happen.
