Norht Shore #2012 GP38 before and after. 2012 in blue was taken in the fall of 2011 and the EL inspired paint is form this past weekend.

 

 

Great start, guys! North Shore is going to have a locomotive at Steamtown's RailFest this Aug 31 & Sep 1. Perhaps 2012 is the locomotive they will send ?

This past Saturday I went with some friends to the Steam Into History excursion line.  Unfortunately, the York 17 was down and being worked on, but I still got to see it, and we still had a nice ride behind their diesel.  Here are some of my pix:

This depot had a nice cafe and a small museum inside.

 

These Cabin Cars were parked next to the depot in New Freedom.

 

 

 

On Sunday, before heading home, I snapped these pix of a PRR Cabin Car and the ex station in Ephrata, Lancaster County, PA:

Norfolk Southern Rockport Yard keeps digging up old cabooses to run on the end of their milk carton run to the manufacturing plant.

 

 

 

One of St. Louis' home road, the Terminal Railroad of St. Louis got rid of all their switch engines and now have a group of (I believe all are ex UP) GP38's in a nice red and white scheme.

Here a transfer from St. Louis is nearing the TRRA's Madison, IL yard with the Gateway Arch across the Mississippi River shimmering in the background.

I'm just back from a two week vacation, to a place my wife picked and was sure there were no trains.  WRONG!  We went to Hawaii.  While I mostly wanted to photo the lava and the craters, I knew there was a very small RR museum there.  It had one engine--the only engine left on the island.  It's a small Plymouth switcher once used to switch cars at a sugar factory.  The Hawaii Consolidated Railroad once had several medium sized steamers and track around the southeast quarter of the island.  They hauled passengers, general freight, and sugar/fruit.  A number of large bridges were knocked out from a 1946 tsunami and the railroad never recovered.  I would have loved to have seen it in operation!  I am checking into visiting Cuba to see if they have any sugar cane railroads still running.  It's tricky to go there and visit, but it can be done.  I'm always up for an adventure!  In addition to the little switcher there is also a wooden caboose and a box car.  This is about all that's left of the Hawaii Consolidated Railway.
