Welcome to this long-format Virginia & Truckee Railroad (V&TRR) video. It's about 16 minutes long if you include the drone returning to the shop from the depot. This video is drone footage but there is sound for most of the video. I used an Air 2S DJI drone and a Zoom H2n mic to get the sound.
We show the #29 coming out of the shop, coupling to the consist for the Candy Cane Express / Train O'Lights train, and backing up to the mainline. There they blow down the boiler, releasing huge clouds of steam!
From there the train heads up to the depot and we follow all the way along.
