Some nice scenes featuring Southern steam engine number 722.
Sleek and dynamic engine brightens the scene.
She pulls a four car set thru the cut near Kimball Tennessee.
At a station stop in Kimball on schedule as usual.
Brakes are applied as she rounds one of the many curves of this scenic route.
Another view of this colorful engine outside Kimball.
She picks up speed as she enters another narrow cut along this beautiful route.

Nice shots, WKS. We hear that you folks are in for a massive pounding of snow starting tonight.
Let us know how that goes! Enjoying bike ride with temp in the '60's in El Paso. Looking forward to
a blazing hot summer and lots of swimming!
Here are some random photos of my friend Stan Ball, a retired music professor's layout featuring
Western Wyoming and some of the Front Range in Colorado.

We settle in a bucolic setting at Olear Farms near Frank Estates Tennessee
awaiting the arrival of a railfan excursion run with brilliant weather conditions.
Doing the honors today is Lima built Berkshire steam engine 1225.
She pulls a four car set filled with happy passengers enjoying the comfortable weather.
Two hundred mile roundtrip between here and Kensville Tennessee.
Scenic rolling hills with winding river views make for a delightful trip today.
She speeds ahead as we listen to her whistle sounds that echoes thru the valley.

Wonderful scenes Jeff. You are in the right place at the right time.
We see numerous increases in train service on the PGW Railroad system.
One of them is train 1776 named "The Sentinel" which is led by F40 unit 290 painted in PGW Railroad's striking patriotic colors.
Equally impressive are PGW Railroad's new pennliner fleet of passenger cars.
Climate control ventilation system with comfortable seats in corinthian leather upholstery.
Silver Spring parlor car from Baltimore and Ohio Railroad rounds out the set.
This car also features numerous luxury amenities for comfortable travel.
View taken from scenic overlook in Saylorsburg Pennsylvania.
Will reach Bergen Point New Jersey in under two hours.

An attractive set makes photography worthwhile.
PGW Railroad set number 72 The Red Diamond at the station in Schuylls Valley near Saylorsburg Pennsylvania.
What a graceful and attractive set that PGW Railroad operates in pristine condition.
The Frankford Repair Shops do excellent work to keep PGW equipment in excellent condition.
She departs for Bergen Point New Jersey and will arrive there in less than two hours.

Some photos last night in western Massachusetts.
The Minuteman Express ready to depart North Adams Massachusetts.
At a guard shanty approaching Hoosac Tunnel.
Six miles east a boxcar has uncoupled from a freight set!
A nearby railroad worker saw this and grabbed the lantern!
He frantically signals that a boxcar blocks the path to the approaching passenger train!
The Minuteman exits Hoosac Tunnel unaware of the danger two miles away!
The engineer notices the lantern light and applies the brakes. Danger averted by less than 30 yards.
