Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This is Awesome! We are moving a 2-6-0 narrow gauge steam locomotive on a trial run over the rehabilitated and new track that we built here at the Greene County Historical Society. This narrow gauge locomotive #4 originally ran on the Waynesburg & Washington Railroad and was built in May of 1916 by American Locomotive Company - Cooke Works, Pittsburgh Pa. I had said in the video was going to put in clips of building the track out front, but changed my mind and those clips were on the last video here: https://youtu.be/t74dni_IrlU Second half of the video was taken by Barb Jones and used with permission. We are very grateful to Barb for allowing us to use her video and also for the countless hours and tireless volunteer effort Barb and her husband do here at the Society. See all the videos on the work we did here and the history of the W&W RR, and more about this locomotive on a playlist on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTyDYTDnT027XkAZCr5yodUru1pq_F0gn In this video I take you on a tour of #4 outside and in the cab and give some specs and history of this locomotive: https://youtu.be/ZdlnSLCUzP4 Consider making a contribution to help preserve this unique narrow gauge railroad - all contributions are tax deductible and are greatly appreciated!
