OCTR at Oxford
The Octoraro Railway ran an excursion over the former Reading Wilmington & Northern branch from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania to Montchanin, Delaware and return. Once back in Chadds Ford, the mixed train traversed the connection to the former PRR Octoraro branch, and travelled the remaining length of the branch to the state line at Sylmar, Maryland, then returning to Chadds Ford. Here the power, two RS2’s from the Toledo, Peoria, & Western, has cut off from the train and enters a siding in Oxford, Pennsylvania. Talking to a crewman on the pilot is trip organizer Kermit Geary, Jr. (blue shirt).
