Another one of these videos.
While I was planning to head out to the IRM this weekend for Labor Day Weekend, I was informed that for the last Friday coach train of the summer, TTI 260 was going to be the power for the train, and given it's one of the engines the museum doesn't run a lot, I thought it would be a fun idea to go out and see it. And it was a good thing I did as the day's events were interesting to say the least.
For the third run of the coach train today, I made my way down to Seeman Rd to get them passing by and to get some good S5T action, only to see them stopped just before the west end of Johnson Siding and seeing some of the volunteers check her over, it was clear what happened, she broke down. I checked the cams to see if a rescue engine was coming and sure enough one was, in the form of BNSF 9400 which brought the train back to the station and pulled the fourth and final run of the day, facing west, which made for good shots lighting wise, and for a unique occurrence at the museum. All in all, this day was full of surprises, but we still got another day at the IRM coming soon. For now enjoy the sights and sounds of this old GE and the first SD70MAC, as well as a brief appearance from CTA 3142 on this hot and humid September day. Enjoy!
