For this year's round of Polar Express train rides at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park, I was working out in the parking lot managing the CN crossing. I figured what better time to get some clips of freshly-painted CN 6520? I was giving the train roll-by inspections anyway, so... serendipity.
Just so happens that on the last two weekends, she was wearing a glorious sandcast K5H of PGE heritage. What a sound.
Apologies for the quality throughout - all filmed on my phone, which doesn't do well in direct sunlight or dark. The train only whistles for the crossing on its returns northbound, so all had to be filmed facing south... bleh.
ALWAYS PLAY SAFE WHILE RAILFANNING! Think... you don't stand on a runway to watch planes!
