Steamtown excursion at Ridge Row A Steamtown excursion train passes the University of Scranton campus and runs alongside Ridge Row. This is the start of the grade out of Scranton.

D&H #7312, The B.C. O'Brien This handsome unit was in Taylor Yard in early September. This unit was designated a CP Heritage Unit and will retain the classic "Lightning Stripe" paint scheme.

North Shore Railroad  A North Shore Railroad unit rests outside the enginehouse at Northumberland, PA. The road's headquarters is in the old DL&W freight house. Much of the trackage it serves is part of the DL&W Bloomsburg Line. The North Shore is a SEDA-COG railroad.

NS Units at Hazleton Yard Some Norfok Southern units laying over in Hazleton Yard. The yard is was a Lehigh Valley yard, built to service the mines and web of brach lines around Hazleton. Conrail became the owner after the LV. Now it is NS property.

RS3's at Alcofest Painted in the "old" D&H roadswitcher scheme, the D-L RS3's head back down the old D&H main. The train sort of caught me by surprise, as I was not expecting it for another 15 minutes.

CNJ F3's at Jim Thorpe The CNJ painted F3's are still at Jim Thorpe and look quite nice pulling a train, or parked near the quaint CNJ station.

D-L Locomotives on Bridge 60 D-L units are often parked on the former DL&W Bridge 60 near Steamtown.

LS in Hudson 35mm shots of the Luzerne and Susquehanna on ex D&H trackage in the Hudson section of Plains. Maybe two trains a week run on this trackage.

Old CP Geeps This is a local on a Thursday night drilling Taylor Yard. The first unit looks like a GP9u. The other unit I can't really tell but it does not look like and SD-40. Always something interesting.

Alco's Again !!! Digital shots of the Reading Technical and Historical Socitety and D-L Alcos at Steamtown, a few weeks after Alcofest. You can never have too many Alco's.

Steamtown Yard Shuttle This series of vidcaps is of the Steamtown Yard Shuttle. They take the tourists on a short tour of the yard.

Breslau Bridge Demolition Here are digital shots of the Breslau Bridge and the remaining spans of it. The truss has a unique design. By the end of summer, it should be gone.
