Railtours & Specials in 2024 - Dry Spell Edition - Steam and Diesel Variety

Much like with 'The Year of the Veterans V' (2024), our annual end of the year railtours movie ended up being made and released a little later than anticipated due to being busy with other things in life. Although, the 2024 railtour season was a rather underwhelming one this time around due to the tours not starting for us in our local area until April 5th, 2024, and they concluded in September 2024, making this season of our least exciting ones to produce.

But other than that, we gotten at least over 20 railtours filmed between April and September, and several stock railtour moves including two Northern Belle examples, so we didn't do as bad as I thought we did.

Hopefully, 2025 will offer up a better railtour season for us, but until then, we hope you enjoy this late edition of our annual 'Railtours & Specials' series.
