On display in downtown Mahoningtown, is this restored ex-Reading (?) caboose. It's interior is fully intact, right down to the cushions on the seats. |
 |
This is an Alco S2 diesel-switcher that's on display right next to UN Tower. It's painted in the colors of New England's Rutland Railroad... but it doesn't have a roadname on it! Not sure who owns it. |
 |
Side view of the Alco. The front cab door (on the walkway) is open. Too bad you can't see just how wet the front walkways got that weekend! |
 |
Cab-end of the Alco. Notice that the rear cab door is open. This engine was parked here just for display. No one could tell me if the 539 under the hood still cranked or not. This engine still has it's original friction-bearing trucks. |
 |
This is the the control stand in the Alco's cab. The large box on the floor is a heater. The lever (wearing the yellow tag) is the throttle, and the brake levers are directly to the right of it.On the left (under the throttle) rests a small electical cabinet with the gauges in it. |
 |
After sitting in the cab a bit, I walked out through the front cab door. This shot looks back at the cab. |
 |
We all rode in this restored ex-PRR N8 caboose. It was *very* crowded in there! |
 |
Another shot of the caboose. Notice the old Cadillac! |
 |
Did I mention it was crowded in there? Of course some people rode the front platform for a better view. I sure hope they all held on tight! |
 |
New Castle Industrial Railroad's EMD GP9 prepares to head out. Hearing a 567 engine under load is music to my ears! |
 |
This is the GP9 and caboose heading away from the tower. They went just a mile or so down the line, stopped, and came back. Then, they took off down the other way, past the mills, over the bridge, and past a dead RS11. |
