1999 was a long long time ago, but I hope you enjoy this video of when I took a video camera with me to work, and recorded some of my trip.
Thanks for sharing, DJ. I very much enjoy the view up front and always looking for more. I've ridden in the cab on several museum and tourist railroads, and got to sit briefly in the engineer's seat on the Potomac River Scenic Railroad. Also rode in the cab up Royal Gorge. All incredible experiences.
Interesting seeing the trackside scenes. Some infrastructure was looking a bit tired and worn. Liked seeing that little blue steamer. Someone's version of Thomas? Or? I like small steam and critters.
