Your Yardmaster, having enjoyed railfanning the B&A recently, headed out to the line again today. He filmed NYC RS3 no. 8109 - seen last week - with sister no. 8106 heading up the weekly beer train to Boston. That was fun, but seeing foreign power, like he saw on the B&M, was totally unexpected!
Believe it or not, it’s PRR’s Broadway Express, far away from it’s usual New York-Chicago route. The express is led by E6 Atlantic no. 1600. PRR’s Atlantics were among the heaviest of their type, handling trains pulled by light Pacifics on other roads.
This Saturday is even better because your Yardmaster is headed to a train show! This is the second of three shows in four weeks!

Love this, John, thanks for sharing. You have a very interesting looking model railroad, and the NY Central RS3 running in your video is also one of my favorite locomotives. The real thing ran on The Put.
And, the B&A is also one of my favorite railroads, having gone to Albany Law School, and married a lovely woman (married now for 45 years), originally from the Lansingberg section of Troy, NY in the Albany, NY area.
Here is a photo of my Lionel B&A Hudson:
