A few weeks ago we had our big 70th anniversary for our f-3 trio. This was the first trip that we were able to take the "B" out on the main. It did rain a bit, but not enough to dampen the spirits of those who attended.  All went well and I have a few pics from the photo excursion that I was a part of.

One of our photo stops near Cobbs Mountain heading east on the ex-DL&W Pocono main.
   


Here is a shot of Mr. Richard Jahn who accompanied me in the cab for some of our trip. He is Vice president and Chief Mechanical officer of our historical society. He is the main reason these F's escaped the torch and are running today. 
   

Another photo stop, not sure of the name of this location.
   

A view of one of the photo lines near one of the 4 remaining Lackawanna's concrete towers between Scranton and the Delaware water gap. I believe we had about 160 passengers on this trip, about 75 of which were photographers.
   

The tail end of our train at the same location. On the right is Mr. Dave Monte Verde owner and president of the Delaware Lackawanna railroad that operates the trackage that we are running on today.  ( That's his private car, so I had to make extra sure that we did not have any F-unit breakdowns today )
