Wow, the echo of that whistle gave me goose bumps. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the D&S go so fast. I remember it plonking along at 25, that looked to be at least 35, if not 40?

It's their only k-37 so one of their biggest locomotives that they own. the k-37s were actually converted from some baldwin standard gauge 2-8-0s.

That's some beautiful video of the D&SNG in the snow. Between the winter wonderland and that double header and long, long train, you caught a rare opportunity.
