It's another Wednesday! Time to roll out another edition of Midweek Photos! This past weekend saw a break-in run of streetcar 120. Originally Delaware Electric Power, it is believed to have been built in 1904. The car was restored in Buckingham, PA, and delivered to Scranton, PA's Electric City Trolley Station & Museum. I wasn't even aware of work going on in getting this car repaired to run… or even that this short piece of track leading to the trolley museum works!
This car rides on 4 wheels, much like a TYCO HO trolley. The run of track is only about a few hundred yards. It is disconnected from the main trolley route in Scranton.
This operation reminded me of this blast from the past on how electricity works: http://youtu.be/CLuPNThw0RE
Since last week, we entered the next season, Fall. In my neck of the woods, the leaves are already changing color, and framing Big Boy 4012 at Steamtown very nicely.
The thread is now in your hands. Any interesting part of railroading you have encountered is of interest. Main lines, Short lines, amusement park lines. All is good, as long as it's "real!" Have a great week!
