Time for reflection - how fortunate we are that this gem of an operation has been fully restored after severe flooding from Hurricane Floyd and Tropical Storm Henri nearly 4 years ago, the likes o... (more)

To think this is how it all starts...

The sun acts like a spotlight highlighting the main drivers and cab WWRR 98 through the smoke of the two steam locomotives.

Over the river and through the woods....

The last train of the day behind #98 and #58 is seen crossing Bridge 8A over Red Clay Creek at Wooddale.

The doubleheader returns to the Greenbank station passing a local horse farm.

During the first of two Pufferbelly Days in the 2007 season, 4-4-0 98 and 0-6-0 58 reverse over the first bridge crossing of the Red Clay Creek, just outside Greenbank station.

A 4-4-0 classic. At one time this was the most popular wheel arrangement in the US assuming it's nickname - the American. This engine was originally built in 1909 for the Mississippi Central.

The first excursion of the day crosses the trestle just outside of the Greenbank station behind #98 & #58.

Wilmington & Western #98, a rare 4-4-0 survivor from Missisippi, snakes it's way through the woods and over the newly reconstructed Wooddale Bridge damaged a few years back during the big flood.

Happy Father's Day to all. WWRR 98 waits patiently on the main to be put away in the shop building/enginehouse as WWRR 114 (SW1) moves the coaches around.

Even with summer only three days away these flowers still stick around into June as #98 makes her way back to the shops to rest until next weekend's excursions. A special thanks goes out to my bro... (more)
