Having spent parts of my summers in East Jordan for the 20 years I’ve been on this planet, that is so darn cool. Been trying to find some sort of footage or photos of the #6 doing it’s thing, as I drive by it every time I’m up there at least two or three times a day going places around town.

Footage of 6, much less good quality footage of it in operation is quite rare. I’ve never found any with original audio present either. This was a real gem that was brought to my attention, and from the impression I got is recently digitized film.

I bet you don't miss having to walk the loco like the guy did at 4:50 in that video. :wink:
