View from town
Title:  View from town
Description:  Its hard to get a shot of a train on the Nicholson bridge from a close angle due to its height at sheer size. This look, taken from the Pump & Pantry on US 11 shows the bridge pretty well, but its hard to see the train, just starting after a short stop on the bridge to let riders take in the view of Tunkhannock Creek and surrounding areas.

Hooking up
Title:  Hooking up
Description:  No, not that way!! CN 3254 couples to the south end of the Steamtown train as several riders watch the action. The coach, interestingly, is original DLW, one of the Boonton cars that lasted into the 70's in New Jersey commuter service.

Tiptoe thru the hoses
Title:  Tiptoe thru the hoses
Description:  CN 3254 rolls through Cayuga at restricted speed. A closer look at the track shows why. A pair of hoses are across track 1, and under track 2, where the 3254 is passing. At far left, the reason: a tipped over covered hopper is being relieved of its load of plastic pellets, which are being pneumatically pumped into the bulk trailer at right.

Friendly wave

In full cry
Title:  In full cry
Description:  Once the train got over the top at Clarks Summit, it would take off as the DLW engineering folks envisioned when they built the line in 1912. The trees have cut down the view some, but we still have a good looking train rolling north at Hop Bottom. The station, standing but in disrepair, is behind me.
