Eastern Railroad Discussion > Sun Before the Rain and New Power for the Perk TodayDate: 10/29/14 17:06 Sun Before the Rain and New Power for the Perk Today Author: RDG630 Weather forecast for pm rain today in eastern PA, which did happen, but before that I managed a few sunny photos of a sunny paint scheme. ESPN GP18 #1804 (former Susie Q power) made its first revenue run on the Perkiomen Branch today. The real bonus was some excellent fall foliage. The train came north from East Greenville with GP10 #7554 leading. Three photos at the run around track in Emmaus, Pa.

Next passing 6th Street in the borough Third in this set passing through Vera Cruz    Date: 10/29/14 17:17 Re: Sun Before the Rain and New Power for the Perk Toda Author: stevelv Very nice photos Dale. 6 and 7 are really nice. If they could paint that GP10 to match the NYSW unit that would be awesome.

Finally passing the old creamery at Palm The rain started soon after I headed home.   Date: 10/29/14 20:13 Re: Sun Before the Rain and New Power for the Perk Toda Author: Gonut1 Dale, Just love all the Perkiomen Branch shots! I went to Dillingersville to find the tunnel back around 1964. I made pencil sketches since posted on-line somewhere? The sun was dropping and my 1952 Ford Crestline convertible was dying from bad generator brushes. I made it home but the battery (Wow! 6 volts)was shot and the lights barely glowing when got there. Ah! What some people term the "Good Old Days". Maybe not tha good?

The photo of the hand sprayed "LOW BRIDGE" gave me a chuckle, but it probably gets more attention than your typical sign. MIke |
