Assembling the train that we were going to chase and some scenery at the shops. Late summer 1989. After the first road crossing, we ended up being the only chasers on the trip from Paris to Maysville.

Some more scenery for the non-steam fans.

I rode in that engine, #11, on the Reader many, many years ago. Does it still exist?

I remember chasing #11 on the Reading, on the way to Mexico for steam.

The green combination car was former NYC 290, owned by the late Ted and Sally Church of Erie, PA. Ted also owned the CHITTENANGO FALLS, MIRROR LAKE, and about a dozen passenger cars- many NYC. He was instrumental to getting GTW 2-8-2 4070 restored and moving it to NE Ohio and NW Pennsylvania.

Former Reader #11 is on display in Nicholasville, KY. in the RINEY B park after abandoned Kentucky shortline Richmond, Irvine, NIcholasville and Beattyville Railroad that once operated on this alignment in the park. Abandoned in the 1930s as a L&N branch.

Here's Reader 11 in better days (Jan. 1957) at the refinery in Waterloo, Arkansas, back before the Reader got "discovered" and started catering to railfans.
