Here's a link to a video with a map of the operation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3ywUal6flY

Location Northern Illinois. 3700 feet of track with about a 1 mile round trip. 2 foot gauge. 240 volt DC

The Birney has a great suspension. Mine is only 7 1/2 gauge but very exciting at speed on my rough track too. There is a video of a box motor derailed where they lever it up and onto the rails. The video says it is 1800 pounds!
