Got the photo of Wayne immediately.... Gotta play stupid now... What the heck is that piece of equipment and what is its purpose?
Actually, I was talking about that long yellow beast with the water cannons on it...

Matt, It is located here: https://archive.org/details/kiski-valley-2003
There are 4 movies that cover the railroad from the beginning.
That is the railroad my grandfather visited. I thought there was turntables at each end. I can't remember when my grandfather was there but he was with a few of the guys from the live steam group, Independent Live Steamers. Thank you for sharing them with me.
Matt, there were turntables at both ends when it was completed. The first video is when it was being built. The later videos show them.

Charlie, glad to be back. The cancer operation went well, doing vestibular therapy to resolve some balance issues and working on getting my stamina back.
