The first shot of the day catches an
M1 4-8-2 in charge of a string of empty hoppers running westbound,
eventually bound for the mines north of Cresson. On the eastbound
track is a local pulled by H10sb #8756. |
|
 |
We catch up to M1 #6811 again at
Jack's Run (below): |
|
 |
Waiting a few minutes we're rewarded
by the arrival of TT2, the eastbound TrucTrain behind a matched set
of GP9s (PRR class EFS17m). |
|
 |
TT2, normally a hotshot, must have
been held up somewhere along the line, because we were able to make
it eastward to Lewisport in time to see her blasting through town. |
|
 |
TT2 clears LEW Interlocking as a PRR
class L1s 2-8-2 running cabin light gets a clear signal to run
westbound through LEW. |
|
 |
The next day, westbound Train 33, the
St Louisan, passes an eastbound symbol freight at M Interlocking in
East Mifflin, PA. |
|
 |
Train 33 leans into the curve through
the cut and flies over US522 behind PRR Class EP-22 #5890 (an EMD
E8A). |
|
 |
The westbound St Louisan pulls away
from its station stop as a matched set of ALCO Class AF-15 (FA/B1)
freight cabs roll to a stop with a mixed freight. |
|
 |
A close-up of the ALCOs waiting for a
clear signal through LEW Interlocking to continue east to Enola
yard. |
|
 |
As the mainlines clear for the
moment, we have a chance to view H10sb 2-8-0 #8756 switch a PRR X29
Merchandise Service boxcar at the Lewisport freight station. |
|
 |
A parting shot... ...a gathering of
Pennsy steam. All were kitbashed from chassis and parts from other
engines. Left to right: H10sb #8756, L1s #762, and M1 #6811. |
