I've been home lately with Jen as she is recovering from surgery, and then we get popped with a nasty ice storm that turned the hilly roads of TN into dangerous downhill courses. 
So what's a guy to do? Well, here's what I did for fun... a Pere Marquette lash up and long freight service. I'm still not the best with this camera, but hopefully some of you guys up north can take your mind off of the snow for a while. 
If you use earphones, the sound is pretty amazing!

what the flip?

I didn't watch more than 5 seconds of it due to that horrific music.
Nice running session!
Love the music. Love the train. Thanks....

Just curious, why not make them watchable here?

I second the question
Now that's a good way to enjoy your bonus time at home.

I third the question. Sounds funny to me. Maybe just delete the post if you don't want people to see it, eh?

See, snow and ice are not so bad after all...
Nice video..
Really liked the perspective, especially the first one with the boxcars coming past on the left.

Hmmm. I didn't get that error...?? I selected allow embedding. ??
Hi Guys,
I double checked the video and it looks fine on my end...
I wonder why some could see it and some could not?
Here is the direct URL. Very odd indeed.
Oh, a note on the music: If you like American Bluegrass, you'll dig it. LOL
It's from a pro bono project I did for a friend of mine, aged 101... and he's the fiddler you hear in the music.
I apologize if I did it wrong!

It plays on the forum now.
Yep, it magically plays here now.
Nice video!! Lots more PM cars than I have.

It's an acquired taste. The genres within my music library are pretty diverse.
I liked it. Cool layout !! Is it permanent ?? I love bluegrass so the music was just right.

Thanks Jim! The layout is permanent, and spans 3 rooms and a hallway. Many an evening is spent running trains and enjoying a frosty beverage. I'm currently toying with adding a second mainline.
Love it all and thanks for the nostalgia of Grandpa fiddling on the porch of his Macon Georgia home back in the old days
Are you married ?? Curious because not too many women would tolerate a layout like that. Actually a good fiddle tune is perfect with a heavy hauler steam engine.

Yes I am. She is very supportive of my hobbies, and I hers.
But it helps to own a home and furnish it the way you like it before you get married or remarried.
