🚂😍 Let's ride the rails on an old logging steamie, the Durbin Rocket! Check out the cab! (Part 1)
17Hey Engineers! We found the Durbin Rocket! It's a super cool old Heisler steam locomotive and we get to talk with the engineer & conductor! Check out the cab and train with us! (Part 1)
Huge thanks to Conductor Julius (@americansteelveins) for making time for us to check out the Durbin Rocket and to Engineer Ross for showing us the Heisler!
In our WV train adventures, we stop at Durbin WV to check out the famous Durbin Rocket! It's a logging geared steam locomotive built by Heisler in 1929. It's been in service its whole life and we get an incredible tour of it from Engineer Ross and Conductor Julius. Durbin WV is just down the road from Cass Scenic Railway and is part of the Mountain Railway Heritage railroad.
