Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This is Hi8 video shot in late 2003 or early 2004. I was the engineer running train 407 Northward on the Neenah Subdivision, but I don't know what our engine number was. I'm thinking it was probably one of the WC 6000-(Former Algoma Central) series (SD-40, SD40-2) but I don't know for sure. I don't think it was an SD-45 because of the bell placement (annoyingly placed right above the cab-which didn't work half of the time!). This video starts out in Oshkosh, going over the old C&NW draw bridge in Oshkosh (which has now been replaced with a beautiful bascule bridge that allows 40 mph track speed) and shows the remains of a derailment just south of Dale, Wisconsin both on the Northward and Southward legs of our trip.
