I have started a YouTube account. Click below for my first video.....the Mount Washington Cog Railway in New Hampshire.
Steam is being phased out at the Cog. I ask you to visit during the 2010 season if you want to be sure to see REAL coal-fired steam on the mountain. Someday soon, it will be gone. Go and see it while you can.
In this video, watch as engineer Joe Eggleston sees me from the cab, and points me out to an employee who's off-camera. At the very end of the video, you will get a brief glimpse of me and my son.
Check back for more videos to be added, including Edaville Railroad at South Carver Mass., December 1991, its final Christmas of operation before closing in 1992; also, a ride above Washington Street in Boston MA on the Orange Line "Elevated", one week before the closing of the "El" line in 1987. After closing on May 1st 1987, Boston's "El" was dismantled in 1987, 88, and 89. I took video in April 1987, one week before the end of operations.
You will also see a video of the final live steam meet to be held at the home of Charles A. "Carl" Purinton (founder of the Brotherhood of Live Steamers). It was held in 1992. He had a few private runs for friends after this, but this was the last "official one". I was there!
