Happy November, everyone! 10 months down, and 2 to go... Remember that our year in review thread will begin on the Wednesday between Christmas and New Year's Day. Time to start thinking of how you can summarize your year in pictures.
For now, let's begin the weekly thread.
Morning has broken. Every season has something really cool about it. The later sunrise in Autumn allows me to view the sunbeams coming through the roundhouse windows at Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. I thought this image was nice, and then I walked down the pathway a bit to find...
Right on the face of Canadian national Railways no. 3254! In the distance, Baldwin no. 26 is firing up, and that is creating the smoke which accents the sun rays.
The date now is October 22, 2017, and Steamtown has its excursion pulling up to the boarding platform.
The platform also allows the Electric City Trolley Station & Museum to board their passengers on their 5-mile run to Moosic, PA.
Second unit on the Steamtown train is CNJ no 1554, an RS3. On the point Eastbound is F3 no. 663.
Here we are at the arrival point of Cresco, PA. It appears the fall foliage is in peak, even though there is still green.
The train exits the station to prepare for the run-around. It will be back in about an hour.
On nice Sundays, there is a car show at the Cresco station. Some are hotrods, and some cars (from the 80s!!!) are way too new to be considered antiques in my eyes.
At the boarding platform, food is available for sale.
Bluegrass music was in the air, as Kelly Planer and her band sang for us.
This brass cash register is a "new" addition to the museum in the train station.
The train returned to Scranton, and it was time to put the locomotives away for the evening. 1554 was turned not he turntable to hand over to the Delaware Lackawanna RR for freight service on Monday.
Now, it is your turn. You know what you like. Post any and all photos you wish to share with us. have a great weekend!
