Good morning fellow switcher fans! Thanks JHZ 563 for getting us rolling this morning! Great pic, videos and info already this morning everyone! ... BRAVO!! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
Today on the FSJR a Pennsy A5 goes to work early this morning. Here it is taking on water at the tank.
After topping off the tank, engineer Lou Spence eased the o'l girl forward a bit. Here Lou and conductor Barney Lubber talk over the switch list for today. Fireman Jack Donnely sits on the left seat box in the cab and keeps a close eye on the gauges.
Lou's view from the engineer's seat box as the engine moves down the rails. Lou pulls the whistle cord just to give a warning to vehicles ... he gives two longs , a short, and a long of whistle blasts.
Heading east with several cars and a caboose in tow. g the
Rounding the bend at Todd's Junction.
Easing through a station as no one on the platform takes notice as if there is an elephant in the room.
With several freight cars in tow the A5 moves through the junction as she and her crew go about another day on the railroad.,
