Great video Mitch! Some nice close-up action there. The parallel running today was a real bonus.

6029’s train appeared empty; no tickets sold?

[@video_mitch]

No, it was just empty cars. We weren't advised of the parallel running prior. I'm sure if advised when time of tickets when on sale, they could have filled both trains. 6029 returned with empty cars again on Monday as well, but no parallel running!

[@bruceblackmar9942]

I have one question: What steam locomotive was pulling the train you were in? The 6029 is one of my favorites.

[@video_mitch]

3526 was powering our train

[@barryphillips7098]

Great video, But it is more parallel running, they were NOT racing each other!!

[@video_mitch]

Hence "Racing" in inverted commas!
