View a few clips of what its like riding the Durbin Rocket in Durbin West Virginia. The Durbin Rocket is known for its rare Climax Steam engine (engine #3). As of 2009 it was the only functioning locomotive of its type. (Cass Scenic Railway is currently in the process of rebuilding Climax engine #9). This video is a selection from my Train Vacation to Virginia via the Auto Train. More videos will be uploaded and linked in the near future. (C) Jared R. Davis
