There for of my favorite engines that Marquette Rail have

[@grrailfan]

I live down here in Grand Rapids too and we frequently chase the Marquette Rail and anything else that comes out of the Wyoming Yard. Nice to see that other people are getting content here too

That's the first time I've heard a locomotive play Jingle Bells. They must know you by name.

Love the late evening shot as they sing out effort coming up the rounded grade . Very nice🏆🏆

[@shawnpowell5876]

Awesome video TRRS, the local short line trains are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE and you've done a great job as always. Thanks for sharing this video and I'm viewing this from the 1st state of Delaware.

As. A welder by trade I would think ribbon ( weld) rail. Would eventually make. Smoother all the way around.Thank you for another. Fine production.

"The Marquette line isn't what it used to be". You can say that about a lot of things these days. Thanks for another fine video.

[@CombsTowerProductions]

I like the combo of the foliage with the autumn colors of the locomotives, great video!

[@shayfarley7253]

I think your UP series is my favorite so far. I enjoyed it a lot!

[@joedavis6069]

It's so nice to have this site back

[@KnightFlesh]

Must be an old UP locomotive leading that train? Interesting to see them be sold off then have the markings stripped off. Good video as usual and good commentary, I enjoy the stuff you guys put out. Keep up the good work.
