I was the interviewee at the 6:45 mark. Thanks for including my comments in this video. My family has lived in Portola since the early 2000s, and we love our trains. My family used to go frequently to the famous railroad museum in Portola where Big Boy made his day-long stop. We would ride the cabooses around the loop in the yard, and I even took part in the museum’s famous Drive-A-Locomotive program. For special events, they would also bring out large model train sets. So to experience that all again many years later (not to mention another a steam engine pulled the cabooses this time) brought back a lot of nostalgia and memories. The last time I remember a steam train making a big appearance was in 2009 when UP’s No. 844 visited Portola.
Your interview was great. We appreciate you sharing with us and all who watch. Memories like yours are worth sharing. There is another episode that is all about the Western Pacific Museum that you might enjoy. Thanks again for the interview, for watching and for commenting!
Excellent video Kendall. I enjoyed meeting you at the WPRM event and exchanging cards. Your video is very well put together, and I like the interviews you included. Good taste in music too! Will look forward to watching more of your content.
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
