I can't believe it was 2 years ago for this one westbound at New Brighton, Pa.  DrWayne and CNNutbar were beside me somewhere.

ED, that is one of the best looking steam locomotives there ever was. Almost as handsome as the PRR T-1

Ah ha, the carnival train....Those are great pictures. When are you coming back?  Mark the 10th of September on your calendar because this Yank is coming through your area.

Charlie, that shot really shows the sad state of railroading of that time. It's great to see but hard to look at. The railroads were on borrowed time, and unsure of what would come next.

Back in Aug. 2012,Doctor Wayne and I spent a few days with our good friend Charlie railfanning in and around his hometown.Certainly one of the highlights of the trip was catching Nickle Plate Berkshire 765 in her smoking glory but Charlie also treated us to some great railfanning over the next couple of days watching both NS and CSX in continuous action---here's some photos taken on 12/08/2012

Nice pictures Ed, It's great to get another point of view.  Here is one taken August 13, 1980 in Culver, Pa.     Charlie
