I’m going to watch this show several times more. I never thought I’d be sentimental about the Jenks Blue era.

All those cabooses! F-units! Alco RS’s! GP 18s with Alco trucks! Tank cars with domes! All those fallen flags! Buzz saws everywhere! Friendly crews waving! Work trains with passenger cars!

That 3 tank cement car looked like an athearn flat car with a “load”.

Trailers on flat cars, which I never thought I’d be sentimental about, are a thing of the past.

What is that grey thing that flashes by for a milli second at 3:10? Looks like a tender with portholes added.
