Wednesday has returned, and with it, another chance to share some of our photos of the railroad world as we know it. Come along for the chase!
This past Saturday was the annual run of the Heritage Explorer Train, run between Scranton, PA and Carbondale, PA for the festival in Carbondale. This train has been diesel-led since it began running around 10 years ago. It was yet another beautiful summer day for a train ride.
Power for the train is C424 number 2403 from the Delaware Lackawanna Railroad. The colors she wears are from when she was on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad in New York.
Some of the interesting people waiting to board. The Victorian ladies are not part of an organization. They just dress like this for the day.
Pulling in to the station.
All Aboard!
Now, to back through the Steamtown yard to reach the old Delaware & Hudson Railroad mainline. With the train delayed, I could not get any chase photos in before going to my next work assignment. My next shots are of her return to Scranton.
Coming back to Scranton, the train runs through the Pine Brook section of town, just outside of the downtown. Here, she crosses Olive St.
Climbing up the Strawberry Hill line to connect with Steamtown. The D&H line is in the foreground.
Pushing the train back to the boarding platform.
We have arrived! Another successful trip complete!
I started to think he was living in a private RR car, he said no, the state could not afford extravagant lifestyles , it was just your average
