I've always said that it was impossible to take a bad shot of Burlington Bridge, but that ending was heartstopping. Bravo Joe! I really enjoyed seeing the Lackawanna and Nickel Plate Road engines--and also the Mexican one honoring their personnel. Another great one!

Finding an old Baltimore and Ohio gondola with "BO" call letters then showing the B&O heritage unit is a good idea. Also the Cumberland region looks so beautiful in the morning sunlight

Are the Cumberland sirens at 4:41 a test, or was there a real incident? Most municipalities test their sirens on a weekday, not Saturday. Around here (northern IL), it's 10 am on the first Tuesday of every month.

@ChessieCat65 27 күн бұрын

As a child, I lived in Middletown Maryland and the volunteer fire department did their testing of the siren at noon on Saturdays. And a special blast on New Years.

@jamesmckenzie3532 26 күн бұрын

That should be an emergency response. Most VF units now only blast once.

@nosenugget 17 күн бұрын

I did some googling as I was curious myself. Seems like it was likely an actual fire or EMS call, as Cumberland MD apparently still uses it to signal emergencies to the VFD as the hilly terrain in the area makes radio signals (pagers, radios, etc) somewhat problematic and unreliable.
