765 on a Mixed Train | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

765 left ft. Wayne, IN this morning for the dead head run East. Fran P., a Washington DC Chapter Member and one of the weekend Dover Harbor crew, was there to capture this departure video. She gave me permission to link it to the OGR forum.

Great video, Fran! Long train, too, and NO diesel!

Not really a true "mixed train", as those gondolas contain the coal that will be required for all her trips further east. Note that the last gondola has the back-hoe which refuels the tender when the gons are spotted beside the tender.

Can't argue with hot water's railroad knowledge. He is correct that a true "mixed train" is hauling both freight and passengers for revenue.

Can I just say "mixed" in terms of freight cars and passenger cars?

The video gives me ideas for trains on the layout...steam locomotive, gons or hoppers of coal, include a front loader or back hoe, some passenger cars, and have the LCCA NS Veterans Box car with EOTD behind my O-gauge Dover Harbor! LOL!

I really can't wait to see her in person! (765 that is).

Did you notice the drone in the first part of the video?
