My son and I take an amazing first cab ride on Southern 6133 EMD FP7. Engineer John is so informative. Super day.

Engineer John, making memories to last a life time. I worked with John a few days ago. Indeed a great fellow, one of the many awesome folks who keep history alive. I work with the train crew as conductor and brakeman. Thank you for sharing this great video with us. Come back and visit us again soon!

I paid for a cab ride on the Royal Gorge Route RR circa 2005. I forget the exact model, but an F7 I believe. Exciting. I was saddened by the death of a conductor many years later.

I run a GP7, GP10 and a 1920 060 coal fired steam engine at the HVSY in Nelsonville Ohio and it's a blast

Awesome video! The engineer is super nice! Met him when I rode on a cab ride in 2601, keep up the fantastic work man!

I loved that part. Did you see that truck with the locomotive sized air horns? I think that is my next big purchase.

If I can ask why did the enginemen leave his seat? If there was a safety control foot pedal the train would've stopped. 😕

Can you tell me what minute on the video that happened? I do not recall at any point when we were actually moving that he left his seat. There was a point where we switched back to forward from reverse...it may have been then, but we were at a full stop.
