What's great to see is how the various cars are operating as though it "was yesteryear".
Today, due to a lack of maintenance, a lot of these old cars have been left to disintegrate.
Sad !

Did all of you catch that individual wearing his engineer outfit, on the platform of SL&U Observation 751 ?? It's none other than the late Vernon Sappers, King of the KEY !!

There were witnesses years ago who remember seeing Key System Wrecker # 1011 traveling at more than 40 mph on the defunct Richmond Shipyard Railway with those siderods just flying !
Must have been quite a sight.
