New RLMS: Making a Train

[kevin_standlee]

This month's Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories is another episode that was one of those Lisa envisioned from the beginning. We're talking this month about how you make a train; that is, what it takes to keep the pieces of a train coupled together.

Getting material for this episode was the main reason we went to the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City a couple of weeks ago, as we wanted pictures and video of their very rare Miller-coupler-equipped passenger car. There are only two other cars with this type of coupler left in preservation. The other two are at the Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, California (we've been there) and at a museum in Illinois that we haven't visited (yet).

I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying these videos. Dad's a bit of a rail geek, although not as much as you are, so I grew up with some interest. Well, that, and growing up in a town on the north-south mainline of the West Coast...

Thank you! I showed that to Lisa. She need lots of encouragement, as she's working very hard on writing and recording these videos. (I do the editing as well as being the "talent.")
