Steam & Excursion > Last months #463 tripsDate: 09/28/14 16:19 Last months #463 trips Author: engine3420 Just now getting around to posting a few from the two day trip with CATS using their K27 #463.
Nothing great here just some random pictures using my old Canon Rebel XTi.    Date: 09/28/14 16:20 Re: Last months #463 trips Author: engine3420 Three more
   Date: 09/28/14 16:22 Re: Last months #463 trips Author: engine3420 Final three……..
   Date: 09/28/14 16:48 Re: Last months #463 trips Author: Mgoldman Just random great shots!
How typical was a consist as featured - 9 cars and a caboose with one engine on that part of the line? Did it happen? Often, or were trains typically much longer and /or had more then one engine? /Mitch Date: 09/28/14 17:08 Re: Last months #463 trips Author: engine3420 Mgoldman Wrote:

I was just curious, not knowing - were there such trains that ran that line - short 9 car single engine consists? Maybe worth separate discussion. /Mitch |
