That’s a great video, Matt… Looks like you have a super time and great weather for Southern Illinois… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)Love the NP passenger train.

Chicago to Seattle in a sleeper… In January… Ran 12 hours late because it was so cold in North Dakota and Montana, all the water fills were frozen… Even so, it was a wonderful trip through the Cascades with 3-4 feet of light fluffy snow on the ground. All you could see was the rails… Ties were completely snow covered then plowed…

Outstanding Cuz!

Who scored the NP passenger consist ? Great Trains (Ralph is dead man)??

We did Stan! I was a beautiful day. By the end of this day, we were all loaded up and heading home. And that’s when the storms rolled in. We timed it just right! I need to do a passenger excursion sometime. I was just a kid the last time I rode on one and it was just an hour or so trip. That was in French Lick, In.

Cuz, that’s my good buddy Aaron Fowler. He’s my brother from another mother. I think he is still waiting on the b-unit to get finished for it. It’s a super sharp train. (Who’s Ralph?)

Great video! Good looking consists.
