At long last, after an hour and a half, we finally arrive at Milepost 7.5, which is the engine house in Barre.  Before arriving, we have a few more crossings to go over.  From here, the passengers will get off and explore the area around the engine house.  The station is just beyond, but the train couldn't access it.  Here, we are in the cab of WACR 804, which is an excursion train that was chartered by the Mass Bay RRE club.  Today's consist is Green Mountain GP9R 804 (hence the symbol name WACR 804), and 2 old Green Mountain coaches; 1312 (right behind the engine), and 1323 bringing up the markers.  In this video, we start at MP 7.2, which is on a curve just in front of a lot of businesses.  We also cross many of the crossings that enter town, and go behind a lot of houses.  The video ends with us pulling up to the engine house.  Enjoy the sound of the old cast K5LA and the slight rev of the 567C.  Unfortunately, track speed is 10 MPH, so we couldn't rev it up too much.  As a side note, the 804 was built in 1955 as N&W 13, and was then rebuilt in 1978 into a GP9R, where it had its high hood lowered on the short hood, and was converted into a short hood forward engine.  However, the control stand is still set up on the long hood forward side of the cab.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on April 4th, 2009.
