Good Wednesday morning, everyone. The sun is not yet up in Pennsylvania, where I am posting, so I hope this thread is like a welcome breakfast treat for you.
I took a Steamtown train to Moscow, PA on August 7, and this trip was led by Alco RS3 no 4118, lent from the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad.
There was a street fair in Moscow this trip, so the train parked a bit shy of the station so the passengers could cross the blacktopped tracks to reach the fair.
This opened a few photo opportunities that we don't normally get. The longer layover to accommodate the fair also meant that the train crew could pose at the engine before moving the train for the return to Scranton.
Some of the Interpretation staff also posed at the engine.
In Moscow, the overpass built by the railroad in 1910 has been decorated to pay tribute to the rail heritage of the town. It looks like Steamtown's Canadian National 3254 passing the station.
The full mural on the bridge.
And the train is now ready to return to Scranton. It was a great time. Now, time for you to add any photos you may have gathered of train trips or freights that crossed your path. How about a subway? Anything happening in the "real" world is a welcome relief to the day. Talk to ya later!
