Twin Cities and Western's Glencoe Turn -Rare Daylight Run- 

Many thanks! I have a lot of that in the works, and some neat stuff with Progressive Rail. Stay tuned!

I can almost smell the burned up turbo from here :)

It sure is, and I wish they had PTC so they could lead into the Twin Cities. They sound so throaty when they're working!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Glad you like them, and enjoy watching! :D I am always striving to make the next video better then the last one.

Many thanks; glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! I am *always* looking for new ways, methods, and things to shoot, while keeping it interesting to watch.

Thanks for the info on the E-Bells; I didn't know that there many variants to them.

It truly is; the TC&W does an excellent job of attracting new business, and working with their customers.

Thank you so very much for the kind words, and watching!

Will do! I saw some pictures on FB yesterday, and it really seems to be coming along over there. Great to see more business coming to the TCWR.

Not that I know of...yet! I'm sure we'll find out in the near future though.

It boils down to knowing the right people, and staying up to date on various groups online. Fans of the Twin Cities and Western, and Minnesota Railroads are good places to start on FB.

Thank you for the clarification on this, and correction! Can you shed some light on how that is different from thermite welds?

@@SD457500 a thermite uses molds and molten steel like a casting. Flash butt welding is used with electricity that heats up the ends of the rail to being red hot. Then it squeezes them together. If you look at each side of the weld you can see the web of the rail is ground with a grinder. That is where the machine grabs the rail and electricity flows between the 2 rails.

I appreciate the explanation on this! It would be a neat operation and process to see happen sometime. Thank you again for the clarification.
