Some photo's for DV and DKS (aka Riding the Curve)

[seusscaboose]

soooooo..... what does it mean when I am going through Lewistown and all i think about is DV's HCD and DKS's scratchbuilt project?  i guess it means I need a life 

I wasn't even sure if it was this station, or some other one down the Branch... in any event... as I passed by, I have to admit, DV's original verison is "close enough" for me.

anyway.. I took a train ride yesterday (rode the deadhead from Conway to Enola)... and being the NKP freak I am... though some of you might enjoy my photographic efforts... 

please be patient and work your way through the show...

p.s. big props to  Trainbuff for not slipping the drivers AND executing a "turn the train" move including backing a 14 car passenger train OFF of Rockville Bridge and into Enola Yard (including crossovers).  Well done sir!

Here is the 765's home. (Just a few miles from my home, but somehow I've never visited.)

all i could think of... backing into Enola was... "wow... look at that overpass.... DV got it pretty darn close !!!" 


i need a life.

Can anyone share the 765's schedule for the next few days around Enola?  (I have Friday off this week!)  I saw it last night parked near 11/15, but it was behind trees and rolling stock that really limited photography.
