VALLEY RAILROAD STEAM TRAIN CHASE: Peak Foliage Steam Railfanning

Operating on Ex-New Haven Railroad trackage from Essex to Deep River CT, the Valley Railroad Company runs some of the few active steam locomotives on the east coast. This video documents the Valley's operations from a glimpse as we chase their 2-8-0 consolidation number 97, Miller Railfan's first steam locomotive! And of course, it is done in the only possible fashion: a chase! Both myself and @TheFerroequinologistChannel chased 97 up and down the line twice witnessing the beauty of the autumn season from countless angles. Also included is one of their diesel engines running their dinner train. Hop along for an epic journey of the Valley Railroad! Thanks for watching and please like and subscribe!!
