Took a boatload of pictures of D&RGW #346 while I was at the Museum this weekend. I spent 4 hours loading trains on Saturday, and 6 hours on Sunday doing other things.
here are some pictures that I grabbed while on fire watch over by the 4% grade coming out of the 3 way switch. we are getting all the track around the switch replaced, and the 3 way itself is being moved off the main line (as far as I heard) to the west, to connect to several other tracks that have no access right now to the main line
Grabbed these two while loading the train
at the end of the day, I stuck around to help the engine crew shut everything down
Backing up onto the turntable. As amazing as it seems, it can actually be pushed by a single person. I would not have believed it if I had not pushed it myself. The hard part is getting it started and stopped. You really have to dig your feet in
