Video Description

In this video, we have a look at how switching operations are done around the @coloradorailroadmuseum 's turntable. There's first person brakeman POV's, some shots of operating a gas-mechanical locomotive, and discourse about why the original patent of the Janney coupler is not brilliant in this day and age.
