hey Jkelcy, I just want to say it is a great video of James E. Strates train, my family had been in business with him for years while I grew up on his show, and it has only gotten better since, and starting next year we are going back out with him and his show it has been almost 19 years since we have traveled with them but they remember us, and we will be traveling with them again come this February :)
Most of the blue passenger cars were retired after 2010, three left and now there are a few silver types replacing the blues. I think it was 2010 that one burned later in the season. Lately they have been running with semis between gigs so it's rare to see the train fully loaded. Guess the gigs are too close together to load and unload on the train for everything.
