Peter's Corner is an important community on the Leetown Division.Located south/west of Leetown it is the first service facility for trains that have ascended the Stoney Creek incline and also the maintenance and fueling location for all east/west mainline trains and Gern Bowyer Mines switching locomotives.In this photo we see CNR Hudson #5702 taking on coal and water before continuing on her daily express passenger run to Beeton.

No rest today on the left bank of the Delaware. CNJ and L&NE visiting power flood in as SH&D crews are rushing to keep up with turning their own power plus the extra hogs.
A set of Jersey Central f's rush east past the roundhouse as an ancient 0-6-0 switches loads of sand trying to keep up with the demand of the additional workload.

Hey Ralph,
We went to Woostock for our 10th Anniversary on Memorial Day Weekend. It also happened to be the last day of operations for the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

Pulled out the airbrush, and got some painting done today in the form of some DL&W FT's and an Erie R-3.
