They usually have 2 engines as this is the only freight train in the entire region due to low traffic demands so it would be harder to find extra power if one of the locomotives break down so they use 2 jest in case.
Gah, I still need to find time to edit my catches together. My biggest problem is balancing the audio between quiet times and train-in-your-face. That microphone (cameo at 3:46) is a blessing and a curse...
Well it must be pretty useful as the line is still holding up, and also lots of company for the crew as a descent amount of people usually come to see this train.
From what I believe since this line only sees a train once a week the rails have more time to rust which could weaken the crossing circuit. So to be safe they would stop at the crossing jest in case if the signals might randomly shut off.
Magnificent catches of the holiday train coming by and pass. I love it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the great work, my friend, i subbed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to Canada.
