"What's your favorite type of music? Classical? Rock? Hip-Hop? Country? Jazz? Pop?" "Oh, the low, wailing whistle of an approaching locomotive, and the steady drumbeat as it thunders along the tracks."
In Louisiana, close to New Orleans. Way back up in the forest in the cedar trees, there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood where there lived a country boy named Johnny Benjamin Goode. He never got to school to read or write so well, but he could play the guitar just like a ring from a bell. He used to carry his guitar in a gunnery sack and sit beneath the trees by the railroad track. The engineers would see him sitting in the shade where he was strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made. The people passing by, would often listen and say, "my my, what that little country boy could play"!? His Mama told him, "Someday you will be a great man and you will be the leader of a whoppin' band, with people coming to you from miles around, to hear you play your music when the sun goes down. Hey?...Maybe someday your name'll be in lights, saying.... "Johnny B. Goode tonight". Go Johnny! Go boy! GO! - And the rest was history! 👏😆
@@crabbinmoose8583 Indeed, a very good song by the late, great Chuck Berry. I will admit, though, that my own musical talent is somewhere close to zero.
@@garryferrington811 Indeed. My apologies if I point out the obvious, but that 4-beat tempo signifies the pistons making a full circuit (back and forth) and the wheels making one full revolution.
Been so long since I saw a complete freight train.This locomotive just keeps coming back.To all who worked on her.Getting her back in working order .I SALUTE YOU!!!!!!
Even if they are empty, 50 cars, that's like a full size freight train, so wouldn't this almost qualify as revenue service, even if it is just a test run?
If it's during a major trip like this, absolutely. 100%. If you're filming a freight train on a random Tuesday/Wednesday, and nobody else is there, then go for it. But if it's during a steam event/excursion, then definitely do NOT try it.
