Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on April 29th, and had a good day operating my MTH KCS SD70ACe and my MTH BNSF ES44AC with a 22 car manifest freight train. Both engines ran perfectly fine throughout the day with no issues other than occasional DCS signaling issues. The beginning of this video is a short recap from the last video followed by the engine departing with the train.
