ATSF 3415 at Enterprise
Coming east out of Abilene, the Abilene & Smoky Valley's mainline run ends at Enterprise, KS, just west of the BNSF diamond. Here, the ATSF Pacific no. 3415 pulls into town, recreating a view seen countless times during the steam era.
It's worth noting that the A&SV owns quite a bit of the ex-RI mainline east of Enterprise (11 miles to Woodbine, IIRC), but the BNSF will not let them reinstall the diamond that was there, so the runs are truncated here.
