Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on March 5th, and had a good day operating my usual manifest freight train. This time the consist is 1 car short, the W.R. Grace & Company hopper car was omitted this time because it would make the whole consist barely fit in the reversing loop of the black line and I need to fix one of the detail pieces on the underside. I probably should have left it in for the added fear factor for the visitors of it possibly not completely fitting, but oh well. Next video will feature the same consist but lead by my CSX ES44AC instead.
