That shot with the sloshing water blowing the lid open on the saddle tank is quite the action shot.

The railroad station is located in Topton PA and was built by the Reading Railroad in 1884. It is now a restaurant and restored with plenty of Norfolk Southern action trackside. There is a passenger station in Kutztown PA which opened in 1869. I have some photos of it which I will post soon. Partial photo of it is shown in my opening photos. The distance between those stations is nearly five miles.

The tourist railroad runs four miles between the two areas on weekends. The line is service by diesel. They had special event with a steam engine that was on loan to them.
