Riding the rails on the Awesome Elkins New Tygart Flyer. What a great
ride it was.
We'll start today's show with the Delightful Sounds of an EMD F Unit
then ride the rails on the back of our Parlor Car as we climb grade and
listen to the radio chatter from the train's conductor. On our stop
you'll see the High Falls of the Cheat. There I will show you some
cool track findings on the rail. We will end our excursion today again
riding on the back of the Parlor Car as we pull back into Elkins Depot
after crossing a really neat iron railroad bridge.
Link to see my good friend Ezekiel Knapp's You Tube Channel.
Ezekiel is a Senior Chief Operator for Sperry on their ultrasonic rail
testing trucks. He has several videos on his channel of the Cumberland Mine RR
along with some other pretty cool stuff including riding the rails in
his Sperry truck. Please check out his channel and give him a like and subscribe.

Wanted to tell you, when you see the cup of coke as we are riding in the
parlor car. The Pennsylvania Railroad would often have track inspectors
ride in cars after a section gang had worked a section of track. They would
fill up a glass of water, and if the water didn't spill when they went over that
section, the guys got a bonus. If the water spilled, the guys got a chewing out!
