Now, onto the photos. Railfest gave us plenty of photo opportunities.
A little respect is shown to freight railroading. We afde waiting for access to the other side of the single track.
The freight passes our Photo Special excursion.
Next stop to see this train is only a few steps away from the other. This is the Mattes Street Tower at Steamtown (built 1911) and the Cedar Ave bridge, built 1992.
Next photo location is Nay Aug Tunnel. Still in Scranton. About a mile or two away from Steamtown's boarding platform.
Artistic view of our train, on the opposite end of the tunnel.
Coming back forward, a shot of our train at the tunnel.
Various angles of the train and the tunnel.
Next, we backed down to another photo spot. Just East of the backing down location of the Scranton Limited. There is Baldwin Locomotive Works no. 26.
Now time for the photo train shots. This location is East University Crossing.
WE were all looking for unusual angles. This is one I captured by Jacobsen Hat Company.
Final photo location for this part of Railfest was at Bridge 60, as our train is met by another run of the Scranton Limited.
Mostly during the middle of the day, I worked the Limiteds, and was not able to shoot photos on the train.
As the day wound down, it was time to put the pieces away. Erie Lackawanna no. 2 was one of the first pieces to be relocated.
The late afternoon Sun shone down on us, and our two former excursion stars.... Canadian National no. 3254 and Canadian Pacific no. 2317. Both are outside for the first time since they last ran.. It was an interesting Railfest.
