Wednesday has returned, everyone. Time for another edition of the Midweek Photos, where the latest, the greatest or even the lamest photos of real world railroading are shared. You be the judge
This past weekend, the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society and the Reading & Northern Railroad teamed up for a special excursion of the rails of Northeastern Pennsylvania dubbed "The Vosburg Flyer"
The train boarded outside Pittston, PA in a small town called Duryea. The "exotic" power of 2 SD38 transfer locomotives was added to with the Reading & Northern's latest acquisition, a GP30, which is still in its Santa Fe markings.
The train had a mix of freight cars along with passenger coaches, open air cars and their former Milwaukee Road SuperDome 55.
Rounding the curve on former Lehigh Valley RR rails in Falls.
And the reason why Falls has its name.
The Northern turn-around part of the trip was the Vosburg Tunnel in Vosburg, PA, Wyoming County. This is the first known passenger train through the tunnel since 1961, when the Black Diamond last ran.
A Recently plowed field served as the ideal location for the first photo run-by of the day, near Ransom, PA.
LOL, and by popular request (or at least request of frequent Midweek poster Zephyr), this photo of the box lunch. Photo by Mike O'Malley.
While I gather more photos, feel free to take hold of the thread, and add to it some of the photos of your on-board lunches LOL.
