Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on July 10th, and had a good day operating my Lionel Southern Pacific Cab Forward #4294 and my usual manifest freight train but this time with 2 of my Lionel NS engines leading. This time around I decided to run the AC-12 with a coal drag, but this really was a coal drag as I set it to run at slow speed the entire day. Engine ran mostly great but it seemingly would randomly pop the breaker at the lift bridge, I suspect the caboose at the end was mostly at fault.
Yes I am fully aware that the Union Pacific caboose at the end is incorrect, don’t @ me... I will get an era correct caboose while the engine is out for a firmware re-flash.
Coal Train: Lionel Southern Pacific AC-12 Cab Forward #4294, 17 coal cars (that belong to the club), and an MTH Union Pacific Caboose (also belongs to the club)
All of the footage is in 1080p60. Some parts will be a bit dark, due to the FPS.
