EBT 14 is on the turntable waiting to be moved.
For the last time in at least the next 5 years, #14 & #15 are under steam together. #15 will take over pulling the weekends excursions as #14 goes in for repairs starting no earlier than 2009.
#15 and 14 lead the photgrapher's coal special past a few houses right off of Rte. 522.
EBT 14 sits for a few seconds, while the workers in the background get prepared to turn the "armstrong" turntable a few tracks to line up with 14's stall.
Passing a classic cast iron crossing sign, the fireman on 15 gives the chasers a wave as he enjoys the ride back to Orbisonia aboard the doubleheaded coal train.
Struggling on the wet rails, EBT 15 put on a great smoke show as it passes under a farmer's driveway bridge as it nears the top of McMullen's Summit.
As seen from the center of the Runk Rd. bridge over Aughwick Creek, EBT 15 is framed perfectly as it sails over the Long Fill on its way back to Orbisonia.
It's a gas-electric sandwich with EBT 17 displayed at left, and newly rebuilt EBT 15 sliding past the EBT's home built gas-electric M1.
With the rain coming down, EBT 2-8-2s 15 and 14 work up McMullen's Summit on the return trip to Orbisonia during the 2005 Fall Spectacular.
#14 leads the picnic train around the wye as York #163 waits for the train to clear.
#15 and #14 simmer in the roundhouse after the first day of the Fall Spectacular with 16-tonner M6 sandwiched between them.
Seldom photographed 2-8-2 #18 was facing the turntable rather than the inside of the roundhouse this year. Unused since 1956, EBT still keeps her inside the roundhouse.

#15 blasts through the Rockhill Yards with the passenger train about an hour before the next departure.
