Hey folks!  Welcome once again to the thread you can't get enough of    Let's get it started...

These two photos of Steamtown's Baldwin Locomotive Works no. 26 were taken this past Sunday, November 3, as the train was rolling through the yard on the Nay Aug Gorge Limited train.  The fireman is at the switch, and getting ready to mount the engine as it pulls forward.  The sycamore trees in the background are a little past peak on the Fall foliage scale.

Not exactly sure of these trees, but they might be oaks, at their peak as the train pulls eastbound to Nay Aug Park in Scranton, PA.

Reading is Fundamental.  These FP7s sit outside the Steamtown museum area, bathed in the last bit of sunshine while the Moon rises in the East.

Two pictures from today.  Reading Company 4-8-4 no 2124 is in her new location for the time being at Steamtown.  While Union Pacific no. 4012 is undergoing asbestos abatement and other work, the 2124 takes up her display track.  We are in standard time now, with the above photo taken shortly after 4:00 PM and the lower photo taken around 5:15.  

Now, I invite you to share a photo or video of real world trains you might have encountered.  The thread is yours.  I look forward to seeing what you have found lately.  See you next week.

Went rail-fanning October 24, 2019 at Mayville Station, Mayville, Michigan.  The last passenger train left this station in 1962.  The station is now used as a Mayville Area Museum of History & Genealogy.

2124 looks stunning! Wonderful photos. Hopefully by Sunday, I'll have some photos of a certain sister engine to share with you. They won't technically be "midweek" photos, but hopefully they'll still be some you will enjoy!

Outtakes from my Rail-fanning trip at Mayville Station.

The station was closed & I have plans to go back in the spring of 2020.

This is some type of railroad cart, but not sure how it was used.

Firearm deer hunting season starts November 15th. and most small towns in Michigan have a Buck Pole.  Before the automobile deer hunters headed north via the railways of Michigan.
