Pennsylvania Railroad 94
The 0-4-0 Switcher: A Compact Powerhouse
Class: A5s
Built: 1917 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Juniata Shops, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1956
Built to move railroad cars around, often assembling and disassembling trains, a switcher locomotive needed to be powerful, nimble, and compact. One of the heaviest 0-4-0’s ever built, No. 94 was capable of getting even hefty cars moving quickly – the result of the efficient 0-4-0 wheel arrangement that put all of the switcher’s weight on its drive wheels.
The tender paired here with No. 94 features the distinctive “slope-back” design, which allows for better visibility of the rear.
Fun Fact: Switchers have been described as the railroad version of the tugboat.

Day 94: Michele and I went to the Lavender Festival in Sequim this weekend. We have been meaning to go out there for a couple of years now but we always found an excuse to make other plans. This year we booked a campsite in February and planned ahead. The weather worked out great as it was gorgeous all weekend. This is a shot from the first day, on the first farm. I saw these girls cutting lavender, talking and really enjoying the moment. It seemed like a great poster shot for the festival so I took it. I like that the are both holding up lavender bouquets in plain site so you get an idea what they are cutting.
