it almost sounds like a car doing donuts at wide open throttle, the shitty kind where they just spin around on a dime and don't really travel in a circle maybe I just watch too many car videos
The shaky, out of focus chainlink POV shot makes me feel like some sort of voyeuristic railfan spying on trains while they’re getting ready
Here's another angle without the chain-link fence: https://www.facebook.com/lakeshoremodelrr/videos/524338578098189/
Oh my, she is already under steam. Has she moved on her own yet?
Not as far as I know.
Thats.....what donuts are. If you are sliding in a circle instead of pirohuetting on one tire you are drifting instead.

Yep, thats the clip! So nice to see 3985 doin what she was built for instead of lazing along in front of a coco diesel and an excursion train she barely even feels. And she pulled that hill with grace and ease, too. Absolutely love it. Why I think 4014 should do semi-regular solo revenue freight runs.
No. Both are donuts, and the distinction between them is exactly as I described
Friendly remnider that according to the ACE 3000 testing, even a passenger locomotive without a feedwater heater in the dead of winter will do greater work work than three new EMD's while costing less to operate than two of them. https://youtu.be/pl-QVxHIq6o Also fuck it, 1218 time.
