Come along as we visit six operating steam locomotives and an operating locomotive crane. Locomotives vary in size from a 2-8-0 to a 4-8-8-4. Our show starts on the Iowa Interstate as 2-10-2 #6988 makes a visit to Illinois to pull a series of trips to benefit first responders. The weather varied from sunny to heavy rain during her visit, and our visit concludes with the locomotive making time on a deadhead freight run.

Part two of our Monticello segment looks at Bates & Rogers locomotive crane #11442, a 1944 product of the Industrial Brownhoist Corporation. Two cameras were mounted on board in addition to cameras on the ground.
Days after Railroad Days in Monticello, we were in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, for vie days of filming. During the first two days, 2-10-0 #90 was captu |
