NKP 765 Steam In The Valley 2015 

I recall vividly spending a week in the village of Ramsay, Ontario. My grandfather was station master. Amazing to see the huge CN and CP steam engines roaring through the village. Interesting way they did messages. Someone would stand beside the track with a big hoop on a long stick. As the train passed, the engineer would put his arm out the window, grab the message and drop the hoop. This was back about 1952. How times have changed. Alas, when the lumber company pulled out, Ramsay became a ghost town. I understand people still make the 20 mile trip from a main road with 4 x 4's into the area for the great fishing and to camp. Wonderful memories.

The 765 never fails to impress, nor does the FWRHS. Such a fine group of people.

Love that old steamtrains

Beautiful video! Definitely in my top 5 favorite videos of the 765!

I went to go see that engine and it was amazing.

Hey I see me at 13:54 at Jaite on the right side of the crossing! I was wearing my Chessie "C" blue shirt. Awesome video as always.

Thanks, and keep the videos coming.

Great video! I love it! This inspires me to start loving the NKP berkshires :D

Great video as always, lovely scenery and shots! What are the two cameras you're using?

What was that sound at 7:56 ?

Also pretty good for a 1944

Ay I think I saw young me

An outstanding video and audio production--as usual. Too bad the overall appearance of Engine 765 has been changed for the (much) worse by an addition to the coal compartment of her tender. Now the tail is wagging the dog, so to speak.

I see my dad's head...

6:26 what happened?

Mr. Fergson, I think your videos are fantastic. I especially liked the ones shot with the pole. I also know the locations you pick to shoot from are not easy to walk back into, which you get that one and can not catch up to the train. I would like to know more about the pole, such as ,can it be used with a variety of cameras. I looked into the computer, but have not seen any quit like the one you are using. I would love to learn how to use a drown, but can't use it in the park anyway, so the pole would be a cheap way to get some other angles. Talk to me. Larry Blanchard ( Trainmaster CVSR) 330 697 4004.
