Pennsy M1b No. 6755 (Altoona, 1930) is looking a bit forlorn without a sand dome, among other things. Hopefully, better days are ahead, with a new roundhouse in the planning stages, and funds ava... (more)

The NKP 587 and NW 1218 are doubleheading up the Southern Loops, on their way to Asheville, NC, during the 1989 NRHS Convention.

The brakeman is riding the front platform of an ex-Pennsy SW9 built in April, 1953 (PRR 8542) as it trundles into town off the Columbia Branch from Lancaster.

The 1218 is headed south to Lynchburg on a beautiful fall day, with its awesome "hoot" whistle sounding for a grade crossing. I've heard hoot whistles mounted on other locomotives such as the C&O... (more)

The Reading T-1 2102 is about to take on coal at the Blue Mountain & Reading's tourist line along the Pennsy's old Schuylkill Division. Note the close clearance to the concrete wall.

N&W Class J No. 611 at Groff's, gingerly testing the siding as it heads to Strasburg with its water car, tool car, and the Strasburg's Mogul No. 89 tacked on the hind end.

Two masterworks of American 1940s design- the N&W J-Class 611 and an Oliver 60 farm tractor. The twelve louvers of differing lengths on the Oliver's side panels are a nice touch. Scene set by th... (more)
