Скачать или смотреть Virginia and Truckee Steam Locomotive Uphill from Eastgate to Tunnel 2

This is a quickly-whipped-out video to show some rough cuts of a cab ride on the Virginia and Truckee #29 steam locomotive, a 2-8-0. We start at Eastgate Siding (aka Dump Road) in Carson City, cross the bridge over highway 50, and run through Mound House up to tunnel 2. Along the way we get an overview of Mound House and Dayton.

I have not uploaded anything in a couple weeks, being busy with other projects. I just whipped this one out, there's no narration or titles. I have included some cuts from "the cutting room floor" that will not make it into a Blu-Ray project I am working on, the Unauthorized Biography of the Virginia and Truckee.

In the cab we see Engineer Jerry Hoover and Fireman Ed Gallegos, assisted by pilot-Fireman Jared. Ed, a seasoned fireman on this steam locomotive, is making his first run up the full tracks, so Jared is showing him the ins and outs of the government-sponsored reconstruction tracks from Carson City.
