Yup, I remember seeing this before! It is cool, but vandalism 💩 💩 "Crap!!!!!" 💩 💩 How could they make a video of this and not be caught? What happened to this loco? Did it come back to service like this? WOW!!!! Yes, the "Chessie" nose is better for posterity!!!!

Delay In Block Productions on YouTube is going to premiere a video of them chasing this train at 9pm Eastern tonight! This YouTube link will also take you to the video at any point in the future to watch it, so you don't need to watch it live:
