In this series of clips I show the addition of railing on the MT trestle. The Mt Trestle was built in July of 1995 to by pass the 6% original grade down to Mirror Lake. With the operators getting older it was decided to add a railing to the tallest trestle on the railroad.

So nice to see an evening ride - looks like a lovely way to end the day🙂.
It was a fun ride. Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this. It's great!
Thanks for watching. I have many more videos of 7.5" gauge trains on my channel. Search for White Creek Railroad
Do you know the schedules of M326 and M327??
M327 is called at Grand Rapids at 4:00. Depending on crew availability and any track issues. M326 seems to very Depending on Barr Yard conditions. railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=39943&sid=9609ecf2befa3cfff95fb572fbb1a89f usually has good updates for train locations
@@steamlogger is the service still daily?
@NickVentures03 M327 is not running Sunday and M326 not Monday currently. CSX has been adjusting the schedule recently
@@steamlogger you are awesome thank you
Awesome video, Rob! Music to my ears, and I could also stand there and watch that monkey motion all day long!
It was fun to see. Thanks for watching
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
LOL!!! Well played! (Took me moment if I'm being honest.)
The edits were not as clean as I was hoping. Might have to try again sometime.
Ha, Ha, Ha. Very good Robert!
It helps to know the railroad with the four tunnels.
@@steamlogger yes, I know.
Hi Russ!
Hi Rus.......ty. 😀
Thats awesome! I too have done the "Tour of the Line", twice!, but never an invite into the cab! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
'Never heard of Buckley, MI, (after growing up MI for 23 years). Does anybody know if the, (former Chesapeake and Ohio / Pere Marquette) line still runs to Traverse City ??? My Family and I used to vacation in Northport back in the late 50's to late 60's and was just curious but I knew Clinch Park had a tourist Train, but never seemed to go there for reasons unknown. (P.S. I'm now in my 70's.)
I believe the C&O line form Manistee to Traverse City was removed in the 80s. Great Lake Central does go up there but they use the former PRR tracks from Cadillac. Some of the old C&O tracks are still used in town.
Interesting, an oscillating engine. Fun.
Not many engines used oscillating cylinders.
So fun to watch!!!
It is with the oscillating cylinders. I have a Mamod steam engine that runs on G track like that.
Nice video 👍😎
Thanks for watching
Cool video of the Spirit Of Traverse City. I got a lot of videos of the train on my channel. It a fun little train.
I saw your videos. Thanks for watching
Super video, thanks for sharing with the Extra Deer effect!
Thanks.
Filer and stowell 0-4-0 logging locomotive. Prototype was built in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Thanks Dan. I updated the title
@@steamlogger sounds good
what dose the air compressor do on those trains
The air compressor is for working brakes. Most are straight air. When there is air pressure the brakes are on. Real trains have air tanks on each car and a triple valve that sets the brakes when the train line air pressure drops. Which also sets emergency brakes when the cars separate.
WOW.... Thx for sharing, absolutely incredible !
I have many more videos from the White Creek Railroad on many channel. Thanks for watching
steamlogger I would like to know more about your engine where you got it from is it 12 or 24 V and I'd like to know more about the control system. If you like you could PM me on the other site.
@@GRHC5150 I will send you a message
Fantastic video, great power💪love it
Thanks.
Cool video, man. I wonder what kind of whistle it has?
I have no idea. Thanks for watching
Красивые мини поезда, это где находится?
This is near Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. A private 1:8 scale railroad with approximately 5 miles, 8 km, of track. I have many more clips on my channel.
Instead of a cow catcher, you need a dear catcher 🦌
I had another time two deer ran across the track less than 15 feet from me. I didn't see them until they were crossing due to terrain and vegetation. It started me.
Sounds like the Locomotive needs to go in the shop and be properly timed! But it’s a cute little thing!♥️🚂
I was thinking the same thing.
What magical place is this?!? I must go there. I want to be a mini train engineer. It’s now my life goal.
This is a private 7.5" gauge railroad near Grand Rapids Michigan. Search my channel for White Creek Railroad for many more videos.
How did ya like it, a bit smaller that white creek.
It was fun. Different than White Creek. You are never far away from the action.
@@steamlogger Yup
Thanks for sharing the video. Fantastic looking railroad and equipment. Hope to get back there some time. Any idea on who owns the CN GP9RM and the CN ballast hopper seen passing the train at 3:07 in the video?
People from Canada i believe
Thanks Adam
Great ride along thanks! I only wish there were more views of the locomotives being used!!!
I have more clips from trackside to be released in the future. Thanks for watching
Thank you for cutting out the three hours of Chicago traffic
Any time!
Where are you there yesterday?
Yes
@@steamlogger I wish we could have made it yesterday, but the wife was fighting. A really bad migraine! We are only about 45 minutes to an hour away from ILS! Hope you had a good time, and we will see you in September at WC.
Sorry you missed it.
Great to see ya today.
I had a fun time. It was neat to see somany people out. The first video has been uploaded.
Terrific video of the Approaching the peak of the grade!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Thanks for the great ride along! So much fun to see the Landscape!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Robert, is that Dan A on the lead unit?
No, my brother from Iowa.
They both look like something you might find on my railroad. lol
You should register for the September opps at the White Creek Railroad.
Maybe I'll get up there this year. The power car that's in front of the tender looks like it may have been built by using a Ride Trains MMC Chassis.
The last time I was up there I met a couple of guys who had a home built locomotive that was remote controlled they were from Jenison Michigan. I thought that they were geniuses because they came up with a handheld remote control lol
OK the lead engine if you could call it an engine is what? It looks like a steam engine tender behind a flat car with boxes. I would love to know more about that. I would also like to know more about the last engine on the train.
This video shows the lead locomotive. He is riding on the tender.. th-cam.com/video/3MJ-2aVCcFY/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/h86SKNhW8p0/w-d-xo.html Here is another video of the lead locomotive
Awesome 👏 video
Thanks. I am always looking for interesting new video locations.
Me and my dad went up that tower before they tore it down and that’s why we loved going down there it was lots of fun busier back then but it’s really not worth going down there anymore. It seems time stays still down there and nothing happens anymore but I do enjoy seeing the older videos from back then
Evenings were always busy at Plaster Creek. With up to three road trains leaving east, hostlers moving locomotives at the engine house and yard crews. I was down there recently, and I saw Y290, Y297, and M326 yarding their train not too bad.
Looks like it was a Hopping place at that time. It's ironic the first 10 seconds is the view you would have seen looking East from the hump Tower at the former Milwaukee Road yard in Milwaukee. Today it is all buried under 30 ft of dirt and is considered a Nature Center and part of a bike trail. I hope this area fared a bit better
The yard is still in use but much less activity. The Locomotive shop is no longer servicing engines. The yardmaster is now remote from Rougmere in Detroit.
Very nice! How fitting for the town name! I love seeing expansion and improvements on the White Creek Railroad! Awesome work guys!
Thanks. Yes it is good when things are added and repaired.
Magnificent!!!
Thanks for watching
Were y'all putting the cabooses to the museum on this run?
I don’t remember. This is all the video I have of this special move and it was 35 years ago. I didn’t remember the ride. I did remember going in the cab of the locomotive and someone asking “Where is the steering wheel.” Lol
Old CSX paint on a Spur Line with cabooses. A great way to spend the day. Watching the movement inside the coupler remind me of the sharp curve at the East End of the Milwaukee Depot when conventional 89ft piggyback Flats would almost separate then drop back down with a loud BANG. I don't think any ever came apart but it sure looked like they would
It is amazing to see how far couplers move up and down. And they do bang at times.
This is cute, wheverer it is. I love an old train. My house sits about a football fields length away from a CSX train track. I love hearing them go by.
This is near Grand Rapids, Michigan. I would love to love close to the track. I live about 1 mile away from the CSX Grand Rapids Subdivision
Russ said it was the town of Flushing. Mara came up with that.
You are correct. I don't know what I am doing.
@@steamlogger haha, one of the buildings does say tinkle though! Pretty clever idea since it is next to the sewage lagoons from the trailer park!
I couldn't find on the old map I have.
you know i like that idea where you guys put an wheeled blower mounted on one the carts i never thought of that idea ill keep that in mind
It works good out on the main line.
@@steamlogger oh ok cool be safe out there
I remember catching a Canadian Pacific train with two brand new Santa Fe GP 60 B's in the war bonnet scheme.
I have video of some of those also.
I did not realize it was the 40th anniversary. A couple of weeks ago I viewed some photos from the inaugural run.
I saw a photo of the first eastbound at New Buffalo. I remember when they started running to Grand Rapids, but it was before I started taking videos.
I wish the schedule for the pier Marquette was a little easier because I believe that’s the one that pulls out of CUS at midnight. Or maybe that’s the wolverine that leaves at midnight. Either way, it would be awesome to go and take a ride from Chicago up in the Michigan on the Pierre Marquette!
The Pere Marquette departs Chicago at 6:30 and arrives in Grand Rapids about 11:00 PM.
@@steamlogger so I could technically take the train to Grand Rapids and then walk the rest of the way to White Creek!
Going to need a brush cutter soon! So awesome, I feel like I’m there!
This summer the vegetation has been growing steadily. Thanks for watching
Wow! The passengers a 3x the size of the train lol!
When the trains are 1:8 full size. Thanks for watching
