The Everett RR ran 3 sold-out "Return to Steam" specials from Hollidaysburg to Brookes Mills, yesterday, 11/7/2015. Dozens of enthusiasts also chased at least 1 of the 3 runs. While the weather was cloudy/cold for the first 2 runs, the sun broke through for the 3:00 run, which made everybody happy.

She's came along way, baby!

 

Some photos when she was at the WMSRR.

I had high hopes at one time we would see

her run a double or two with 734 when done.

What a sweet little locomotive. In the videos,

I don't know how to say this, she looks like

she runs "free and easy" you know, as if

everything is set up to perfection. Also,

I love the "chuff"and her whistle. Would

that be a Baldwin three chime?

The whole Everett operation is professional, the restoration of the combine was also well-done and it was a comfortable car to ride.
One thing the WMSR could take a note from was the separate building for restrooms at the Hollidaysburg station, something that is badly needed at Frostburg, IMO.
I would like to say that the above post with photos/videos took over 3 hours to prepare and post.  Seems strange that I can't get any "likes".
The Hollidaysburg yard had another surprise I will post on Wednesday.
