3 cheers for the middle of the week is here!
My offering of the Midweek thread returns us to an all day trip with New Hope & Ivyland number 40 and a photo freight.
Beginning at the turnaround point of the trip, Rushland, PA, we see 40 passing an ancient wood boxcar, overgrown on the side.
Then we backed up for a number of runs on this bridge, the highest and I would guess longest on the line
Nicely painted freight cars in the consist.
Another runby, another angle
Same bridge, these taken from the road.
Another stop, another bridge. The weather cleared up and it became hot around noon. This was our last location before the lunch break.
This is a unique car. A baggage car with windows cut in. The black plastic panels can be removed to make it a sight seeing car of sorts.
Back at the depot and shop so the train can be serviced and minor repairs made. The train of cars was shuffled around a bit, too.
Would you like a drink? It looks refreshing.
That is my collection for this week. I hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend. If you had an encounter with a train recently, we would all like to see it here. See you again in June!
