Eric's Trains Video Blog - Episode 33 

that train ride looks awesome!

This is probably your best blog video.

Very cool vid. Thanks for sharing it.

Agreed nice video. I woul imagine that they have a collectors set of the train you were on.

Very Nice Present Eric

That was a nice anniversery present for you 2. Very senic and a little historic at the same time. I hope the engineer let you blow the horn a time or two!? Erick. HAHA...reminds me of the "zoo train ride from Saturday my GF and I took wile at the zoo for the fun of it (pales in comparrison thou. Glad you two enjoyed the journey.

Nice P3 on this unit! Sounds like an SP horn!

Nice video Eric, I always wanted to ride a Tourist Railroad. Besides Steamtown which is a bit of time away from me. Both geeps have nice Horns as well.

Eric, You'll need to come see the Tennessee Central Railway Museum in Nashville Tennessee!

Very nice! You have to come up to my railroad in ny! The adirondack scenic railroad- lots of good times being a trainman and working inside the cab is the best!

Thanks for sharing!

the lead unit has a beautiful P3, sounds like a New Cast

For your next Train Trip Eric....... 1-800-THE-TRAIN Williams, Arizona to the Grand Canyon, Arizona

Eric you should visit Essex steam train and riverboat, its the best

Great Video Eric, I enjoyed it very much, thanks for sharing!!! hudsontrainman

You have to pay extra to ride in the cab. They give the certificate to anyone who rides up in the cab, just for fun. They don't let you run the engine or anything like that. The engine is a rebuilt GP9, I believe.

Not that it matters much to me, but I like the Gold & Blue. Very close to MSU's maze & blue.

Awsome video eric

Yes the engine is a rebuilt GP9. I think engine is a GP9R.

Amazing ride on the train. Sounds like fun to ride in the cab. Last time on a train, rode in an ex-Alaska style full dome car and was a fun roundtrip on a holiday train on a railroad, on the Columbia River, over in Oregon. Often, I ride trains in all shapes and sizes, lots of times, during the past several years. Is the train a comfy ride to enjoy?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Eric! What a cool outing. How did you score the cab ride, extra coin? Thanks for sharing. .. Steve ..

i do some train rides in my country i ride the texas state railroad and grapevine railroad

That's actually a K5LA.

Pretty train trip. Thanks for sharing.

Eric,Great train ride,I have watched all of your train Blog's and most of your reviews and I have to say you do the best reviews I have ever seen,Your dedication to this hobby is amazing,Your layout is also amazing.I Sold my post war Lionel trains after 30 yrs.I kept one.have been out of the hobby for 10yrs now but after watching your videos it has sparked a new interest in running modern O scale Lionel trains,What sounds! Thanks for the Spark,Your train collection is just amazing. Thanks Fred

Great blog video Eric, that looked like a lot of fun! Cab rides are always nice. The Horn on that engine sounded great! Thanks for sharing!

I think it's either a gp9r or a gp38-2

Eric !! another great video. I think I'm gonna take my son and go for a ride. Where in Macon so we can make a weekend out of it. Did you spend the night ? Any suggestions ? Fred

Great stuff and happy anniversary Eric!!!! Your wife is AWESOME! Thanks bud!

Thanks for doing something different with your video blog this time, Eric.

Fabulous. I felt like I was there with you. Thanks.

Happy Anniversary Eric!

at 4:50 it looks like that train car was in a crash

Who is here 9 yrs later a finally found out where the famous profile picture came from

the model is a ex santa fe gp9m

I don't think that train can fit on your layout! Very nice video.

Nice video! How much is this anyways to go on the trip?

My bad! I should watch the vid the whole way through before I comment. :-P NERP!

It's a rebuild GP9, I believe.

That’s the same engine on your profile

Great Video Eric Best video I saw today

Eric, You should ride North Shore Scenic Railroad in Duluth, Saturdays are the stream locomotive the locomotive is a 2-8-0

L&N

I don/t know what you're "real job" is but you always do a good job in explaining stuff and in story telling; you also do a good job editing your postings. You could always get a job doing "industrials" or in journalism.

Do you know what horn was on the locomotive?

What is the locomotive model

How many cars, total, make up the train and how far does it go?

Gp20

I road this train

is this railway still in use?

I liked it ..But i think you could of told us more about the engine maybe some of us dont know much about what kind of engine you were on ..maybe even what the extra cost might be so if anyone wanted to do it we would have an idea of the cost ... one other thing was you got a certificate for what ! doing nothing but riding in the cab ,I didnt see no hands on assisting ...

What Railroad was this originally?

You have a good wife, like I tell my friends my train hobby is cheaper than divorce.

K5LA

where do you live in georgia?

I made a video of my ride on the Michigan Transit Mueseum railroad like this

Eric have u. ever been to STONE MTN PARK?

nice vid! i was wondering, is the line that this train runs on, is it a active main line or just used for this one train?

What type of locomotive did you ride in? I love EMD's locomotives, my favorite
