Horseshoe Curve Steam...August 2012
#18
765 only gets her 74V power (from the MU) for the cab signals. I've got a photo of them light up, but I won't get any uploaded until next week (I have somewhere around 1000 pictures from the past 3 weeks). Having her cab signal equipped was a detail of much interest to the Control & Signals people on the Pittsburgh and Harrisburg excursions.

Ultimately, these trips have gone very well. Many happy employees, no safety problems, and no delays from mechanical failure.

For the Enola (Harrisburg) to Conway (Pitt) deadhead, we had an unusually tight schedule due to picking up Mr. Moorman & Co en route and dropping them off en route. My impression of the management of NS is very, very good. I wish I had some available money to invest, because they are good at what they do.

The bystanders sure were out en force on Monday. The Gallitzin and Latrobe crowds got particularly good deals, as the engine stopped at both of these points. Unfortunately, from leaving Altoona until past Gallitzin, my camera was misplaced...so I won't get those photos uploaded until I acquire a micro-USB connector.
