Frisco 1630 Cab Ride!! Part 1 at the Illinois Railway Museum on August 27, 2023

After being invited in the cab of Frisco 1630 (my first ever steam locomotive cab ride), we are on our way for a run down the Illinois Railway Museum's mainline on August 27, 2023. The crew that day was student engineer Eric Hoyem at the throttle, engineer Chris Chasin, student fireman Matt Bressler, and fireman Conn McCarthy. Special thanks to Mr. Conn McCarthy for inviting me in the cab of 1630 and for making this video possible.
