Eastern Railroad Discussion > Nice executive catch on dreary day in PA!Date: 10/24/04 08:18 Nice executive catch on dreary day in PA! Author: CentralVARR Original BN Executive SD70 9684 and a NS C39-8 leads Q217 west through Fairhope, PA yesterday. Decided yesterday to take a short day trip up to Cumberland and the Sandpatch grade.
Shannon Crabtree  Date: 10/24/04 08:21 Mance Blockage Author: CentralVARR Made excellent time from Fairhope to Mance since the Q217 had a helper. Was set up for a shot at Mance but here comes a unknown eastbound. So I made the best of the situation.
Shannon Crabtree Eley's Ford, VA  Date: 10/24/04 08:24 Sandpatch Author: CentralVARR Got to Sandpatch in time since he was setting off the helper. Several fans were in attendance. Busy day for fans and trains on the grade!

The "unknown eastbound" you saw at Mance was Q641-22, I got him at Manila. |
