I swear Wednesdays come around faster every week. Sorry to all the fans of Midweek Photos for the delayed start...

Saturday, July 14, Steamtown National Historic Site ran a train to Gouldsboro, PA for the Americana Freedom Train. this also featured a stop in Tobyhanna. Here are some scenes of the train upon its return to Scranton. Anthracite Railroads Historical Society's F3s in Lackawanna stripes led this passenger trip.

The train crew walks the train through the yard switches from the boarding platform to the storage track for the passenger cars.

Coming up to the switches on Bridge 60.

Shoving the cars onto the old hopper track, as the DL&W used to call it.

As the Fs backed to their own storage track, I snapped this side by side shot with Union Pacific Big Boy 4012.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Midweek thread. Keep up the good work! Enjoy your summer, and keep posting your photos of the real world.

Very cool, Swipesy! Even though the flank says BNSF, in our hearts this is Santa Fe, all the way!

Here's the Capitol Limited stopped at Cumberland on her westbound evening run

on account of a nasty incident at Hydman,on 7/10. No traffic is moving either direction.

Seems a young man, 21, tried to run across the tracks at Hyndman, tripped and fell in front of a CSX frieght train, and was killed.

A little CSX action 7/16 at Keyser WVA. All in about fifteen minutes.

Westbound manifest Q317 with nine engines and sixty or so cars

That's an ACE leading.

That's U813 with a string of West Virginia coal at 45 per thru Keyser.

And thar she goes!

AEM7 at speed north of Kingston, RI.

Boston, MA, where the F40 still reigns.

P&W rolls along at Old Lyme, Ct.

Acella slows for th curves at Rocky Neck.

Valley Railroad at work.

The P&W engine house at Worcester, Ma.

An SD60, the first 6 axle power for the P&W ever.

So, we have to go all the way to Palmer Mass to see a CR SD40.

Railfans view the Lakeshore at Palmer.
