Disclaimer Railroad is not responsible if loco tries to ambush people by jumping out from behind various objects.
RIP Mr. Nielson. You made us all laugh, thanks. Godspeed.
Aside from that, that old GE sure had a nice EMD sound to it …

Nielsen was a truly fine Canadian-American comedic actor and those train scenes are classic "Nielsen " spoofs, who did the model crash scenes?
I recorded all episodes of the 1980’s sitcom 'Police Suqad" and I can recall never laughing so hard. Will have to view them again. Every role he played in fit just perfect.
And don’t forget “Forbidden Planet”!!!
