[@fallingup90]

Awesome video. It was a bit chilly yesterday but entirely worth staying around for the great catches

[@cedarvalleyrail8419]

It was very chilly indeed, steam at night is a whole different experience though

@@cedarvalleyrail8419 will they use the 8419 on the Christmas trains?

[@PositivelyNegativeOfficial]

@@rudycarlson8245Likely not. Although it would be really cool.

[@spencervaughn5906]

@@rudycarlson8245 We've talked about doing it. Water is the biggest hurdle. All of the water used in 8419 is softened and treated.

Glad 8419 is back in service after a long absence. @5:29 the Des Moines River looks really dry. It’s almost as bad as Louisiana

Nice video!

[@MatthewLappTrainGuy683]

Great video and how were you able to walk down to the high bridge?

[@rileysanesh5203]

Why is 8419 not doing tender first this time

[@trainking79]

any idea why they shoved back the trains on the first day of it being back? after watching all the videos i still dont know why

[@gretchenchadwick8343]

My special needs son and I have heard that it is because the switch at Fraser needs repairs.

[@PositivelyNegativeOfficial]

It’s the siding. No way to run the engines around the consist.

[@trainking79]

@@PositivelyNegativeOfficial do you know what happened to it?

[@spencervaughn5906]

@@trainking79 The Fraser passing track has been out of service for several years. There is flood damage on that track that has taken a low priority to main line repairs.
