Greetings! Wednesday is here once more, and another chance to celebrate our railroading spirit with the Midweek Photo thread.

Last week's thread featured Steamtown's Baldwin no. 26 on the Scranton Limited, which for the time being is a Friday and Saturday train. Sunday is when she is assigned the Caboose Experience train. This is a shorter trip. Maybe 10 minutes long, and is a chance to ride a different type of train. The caboose was built in Scranton, PA at the DL&W's Keyser Valley car shop.

A close up view of the piston rod, valve linkage and lubricator of this Baldwin 0-6-0.

Some of Steamtown's roundhouse is looking more sparkly as a result of a few one-day-only volunteers from a local company called MacTac adhesives. They washed off Grand Trunk Western 4-8-2 no. 6039 and Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 no. 759

This is what I have to offer for this spin around the week. Now, it is your turn to show us what ya got! Have a Happy Memorial Day this coming Monday.

Runaround - a CSX road engine is rolling down the main line to complete a runaround of its consist parked over on the adjacent track. In a few minutes it will couple on to the opposite end of cars and set out on a southbound journey.

The weather in the Northeast has finally improved and the world's second-most-famous G-scale trolley has been making the rounds at local ABC affiliate WNEP.

This custom painted LGB was introduced to viewers in February of 2017 as a promotion for the restoration of Scranton Transit trolley #505 at the Electric City Trolley Museum and received national exposure on HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

Contracts will be awarded for the next phase of work on #505 very shortly, and the first of four motors is being shipped out for a rebuild by the end of the month. We are hoping to have the platform woodwork completed by the fall. We have to raise approx. 150k to finish, and donations of any size are gladly accepted -stay tuned for updates!
