One of the great things about the Altoona N Scale Weekend is its location deep in the heart of railroad country. The Everett provides a great addition to the mainline action on the Pittsburgh Line.
The Northern Central Railway & The Stewartstown, July 2019
My friend Steve is a relatively (8 months) new dad. So when he says “hey, I’m free for a Saturday, lets go railfanning”, you go! We decided to go shoot some fish in a barrel in Southern York County.
Jim Thorpe, Late Spring 2019
Our good friends have access to a place up in Jim Thorpe and after a very busy few months we were very lucky to get a few days there to hang out and relax. Of course, there happens to be a train ride there and my understanding friends went along with my plan to check it out.
A Sunny March Afternoon on the CSX Philly Sub
I had a chance to get out for a few hours in my backyard and got to enjoy a beautiful cloudless March day.
An afternoon in Indianapolis
Work recently took me to Indianapolis and my flight schedule meant I had a few hours to see the local sights. I saw quite a bit.
CSX in Hagerstown, February of 2019
It’s been a slow few months railfanning wise, but I recently got a chance to get out and grab some CSX action around a snowy Hagerstown.
Cresson, Gallitzin and Altoona. August of 2018.
The N Scale Weekend in Altoona is a great event and a good reason to head out to the east coast railfan Mecca. This weekend was also a good chance to play with my new Rebel T7i and try out its low light capabilities.
Half a GE 44 Tonner in Portland Maine
I just found this photo I took from four years ago (yikes!) of one of the weirdest diesels I’ve ever seen.
Quick Grab at Enola
I had some business up in Harrisburg which involved giving my dad a quick tour of the area. Of course we had to swing by The Iron Bridge.
April 2018 Lehigh Valley Branchlines
This spring brought a second trip to the Lehigh Valley. This time was focused on chasing the Cement Local and meeting a legend. Lunch with “Big Mike” Bednar was clearly the high point, but as far as this blog goes, there were no real photos of that.
