We need to get those cabooses running on the NWP for photo purposes. Who can I call to put in an order for a caboose train. Wouldn't that be nice for a NWP Christmas scene. Imagine #1922 with some freight cars and a caboose in the rear. Wouldn't that make a nice Christmas card for the website to sell.

Yes, another great video!  While I was watching I was saying to myself "10 cars?  I only see 9!" then the pickup of one car at Burdell!  It was great to capture that unusual movement on video!  May never see that again.  Was that car "bad ordered" and left there for reapirs on the last northbound movement?

 

Does anyone know whether the dwarf signals on the Burdell spring switches are working?

The next issue of The Northwesterner will have an article about the start-up of service on the NWP.  Motive power and rolling stock will be included.  However, you must be a member of the NWPRRHS to receive The Northwesterner.  You can join by pressing the NWPRRHS tab in the upper right corner of this page and following the link on becoming a member.

"There are at lease two ex SP cabeese in Schellville," least is the word I'm looking for here. Typo, my bad!

Steve-if he wasn't using it back in August, too, then it'd be a holiday horn! :-)

Charles-Good question! There are at lease two ex SP cabeese in Schellville, but I'm not sure who owns 'um. So far NWP hasn't run using cabooses, to the best of my knowledge.

Does the NWP own any cabooses? Do they ever run them if they do?

I prefer to think of it as a holiday horn!

In the very last scene, there is a horn noise that isn't coming from RJC. What might that be? Is that wanna-be NWP employee w/the vuvuzula back? Even if he tried to ruin your video, this is still one of the best yet, Steve!

After I started publishing the video, I realize that it is misleading, the train LEFT from Shellville, but the shot is about a mile north of hwy 37/Infineon raceway. In the few quiet moments while I was there, I could hear race cars from the track. Would have been nice to have gotten some of that!
