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.5B4BA167-FABD-48CA-B243-340A85905E4F_1_201_a

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.  AECB29A9-1ED2-457F-AAB1-584E5AF09D0C

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. 277AA59C-A547-4764-8B4A-FD221130D1A9
