The Trains at Old Threshers, 2022 - Mount Pleasant, IA

Описание: In 2022 I made my annual trip to the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion for another year of classic trains and trolleys in action! Located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Old Threshers has been one of the most popular events in the Midwest for decades. It's also the home of two railroads: the Midwest Central Railroad, and Midwest Electric Railway. Both transport thousands of visitors back in time to the olden days of railroading, as they travel around the grounds to many different attractions. On the Midwest Central, we see the railroad's narrow gauge locomotives pulling trains around the main Old Threshers grounds, featuring 2-6-0 steam locomotive 6, and diesel-hydraulic switchers 14 and D-9. On Midwest Electric, four cars in their collection take passengers through the Old Threshers campgrounds and to the Log Village. Cars in operation include interurban 320, open-air car 1718, Italian streetcar 1945, and recently upgraded work car 1100.

This video summarizes the action seen throughout the first 4 days of the 2022 Reunion, as the trains and trolleys travel around the grounds, with rides on each line as well. Breaks in between feature other various Old Threshers attractions, including Printer's Hall, gas engines, the steam carousel, and more. A segment of the video also features Midwest Central's Shay locomotive 9 - although not operating at the 2022 Reunion, the locomotive is discussed and several run-bys are presented off the cutting room floor from last year's Old Threshers presentation (2021).
