A very nice way to end 2016 - big steam power on a revenue freight run! It had been announced that on 12/28, Norfolk Southern was to bring multiple loads to the interchange at Leaman Place Junction, heavy enough to require the use of two locomotives. Strasburg opted to use 2-10-0 'Decapod' #90 and 4-8-0 'Mollie' #475 to do the honors, bringing a passenger consist along for customers to ride. They put on quite a show as they bark upgrade to get the heavy consist to East Strasburg.
Two days later, it had been announced Norfolk Southern would be making yet another delivery. A shorter consist this time of only three hoppers, but Strasburg still opted to use steam power. Locomotive #90 did the honors to bring an empty back and the three loads in, also carrying a small passenger consist. Note Fido chasing and attempting to bite 90's wheels at the runby at Carpenter's Crossing.
Please enjoy, and Happy New Year to everybody!
