And it was an honor to ride behind 765 with you at the Throttle Rich. I rode the first of the Ashtabula trips.

@@samlivingston4130 Thanks very much, Sam. Glad you enjoyed this little bit of “Roundhouse Railroadin’.”

Another great program!!

Fantastic episode Zac! Hopefully one day I'll be able to see this Lima Berk strut her stuff, and Rich Melvin is a great storyteller as well! I do agree that we are in a transition era in the Steam community where we need younger volunteers and the support of the communities in order to keep these beasts alive. Keep Steaming Along the Line with this podcast!

Great episode, Zac! Really enjoyed Rich’s memories on the 765. I rode behind 765 on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic in 2021. Great locomotive!
