Valiant attempts are made to replace the knuckle pin on the 70. As (un)predicted, they encounter difficulties along the way.
In this episode in particular, Rowdy is cranky, cold, wet and fighting with equipment. Language is colorful. Life on the railroad, unvarnished.

"I will scrap you down to your f*cking axles you piece of sh*t if you do not f*cking start" Got a huge spit-take out of me. That is how you get those old pieces of crap to start.

I'm on a heritage railway, never start taking it apart until you've got time to rebuild it all 😂

@mtrainierrail 7 месяцев назад

Truth. Sometimes we *think* we've got time to rebuild it all, but fixing the 3 other things we need to do the original fix tends to mess with that timeline. But hey, job security?

"Before we fix one thing, you have to fix something completely and totally different around this railroad. That's the way we like to operate." sounds like a farm i once grew up on.

Can't wait for a detailed video(s) of what it's going to take to reopen the line to Eatonville, Ashland, and Morton. Also is the loop in Mineral still part of your right of way. As a matter of fact it would be cool to see detail of the big picture. All right of ways etc etc.

@@t.d.bowman9585 The property the loop was on was private property and the land was sold. The company that bought the land didn't want it so it was ripped up. The Morton Branch (Not including Park Jct. to Mineral) and to Eatonville is still there but will need work to get it back to be able to be run on again.

Alco moment... Idk about you guys but chucking crap at your center cab gives off the same feeling when it starts hissing at you for no reason

@BiggHoss 7 месяцев назад

4:36 reminds me of something a old timer once told me, and I'm paraphrasing a little.. "You treat a piece of machinery like a h*e it's whole life it will only respond to that and run like one, if you treat it like a high class gal she'll get spoiled and she won't run unless she's pampered, and she'll take advantage of you"

@gingerschatshow 7 месяцев назад

Well with any type of machine such as a steam locomotive things do break down or break up.

Very silly. You'd think with enough fruits and vegetables they'd stay out of the doctor's office.

@itsdad0c 7 месяцев назад

nice seeing some diesel coverage! do you guys have plans on bringing 7012A and 9120 back to life as well?

@mtrainierrail 7 месяцев назад

AHR still owns the 9120. We'll inevitably work on the 7012A but the engine needs a lot of help with low voltage wiring - which comes with an unfortunate price tag!
