In a definite departure from normal procedure, the Reading & Northern's famous "Four and a quarter" undergoes morning servicing, literally in the back yards of residents of New Brown Street in Duryea, PA on the morning of June 26th of 2010. On this day, the 425 would be used to haul a special excursion for the National Railway Historical Society, which was having its annual convention in nearby Scranton. Rather than require attendees to journey all the way south to Port Clinton, where the locomotive normally resides, the railroad brought her and her excursion train to their Pittston Yard the day before, and elected to load the passengers at an improvised boarding location about a mile to the east, which was literally between New Brown Street and a residential neighborhood. In this scene, a member of the locomotive crew makes some adjustments on the engine's air pumps, while a resident takes in this very unusual scene.

In the parking area at the railroad York, Pa station. Believed it was PRR North Central Division trackage. Maps from the late 30's show an industry that appears to no longer exist today.

Had my camera because the kids would be singing on stage at church but caught this moment of a friend deeply engaged in worship on the Sunday before Christmas. Love the "all in" feel of worship in this image.

UP ONJBW 15 gallops west behind two NS thoroughbreds and their cab signal escort through the C&NW heritage littered corridor of Nelson on the Geneva Subdivision. The 107 empty oil cans from the east coast are headed for Wyoming to the Genesis Energy owned Pronghorn Terminal, a double loop track unit train loading facility north of Douglas. Over 20 years have passed since the Union Pacific merged with the Chicago & Northwestern in June of 1995 but the railroad scene in and around town here has remained untouched post-merger. Searchlight signals, code pole and a steam era coaling tower are still kicking it in present day 2015 serving as a reminder of what used be. Nelson is where the former C&NW north-south SI Line from Springfield, now Peoria Subdivision, feeds into the busy Chicago-Clinton, IA Geneva Sub and trains can enter or leave either mainline in either direction here.

NCS25P was a Volvo Ailsa B55-10 / Alexander AV Type H79F purchased new by A1 Service member Docherty of Irvine in August 1976 and it remained in the fleet until the end of operations in January 1995. It would see further service with Leisurelink on the south coast.
A1 members took eleven new Ailsa's between 1976 and 1979 and out of 716 built for the British market, 516 of these were supplied new to Scottish customers. If you add the second-hand ones that came to Scotland, most of them must have been here at one time or another. Fourteen of the fifty Ailsas built for WMPTE returned to to Scotland for further service after sale by London Transport - 4739/ 4744/ 4749/ 4752/ 4756 /4763 /4765 /4768 /4769 /4774 /4778/ 4779/ 4783/ 4784.
Members of the steam crew at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum perform some afternoon maintenance on their locomotive, after the conclusion of the day's passenger runs. The two gentlemen pictured are using something similar to an Alemite Grease Gun to "shoot" the rod bearings on WP 165, before putting her away for the day.
Oil-fired locomotives, such as this one, are a fair bit noisier than coal-burners as they sit like this in the yard. In addition to the dynamo whine and air pump activity that folks are used to with coal-burners, these engines have an atomizer, which uses steam to break the oil stream up into small droplets, so they can burn more readily. That atomizer makes a continuous rumbling noise, which makes the fire sound like it is roaring, to an even greater degree than it is. And of course, these locomotives also have to have their blower running continuously, in order to create a draft and keep the fire hot. Blower essentially shoots a stream of steam up through the smoke box and up the stack, creating a low-pressure area around the front tube sheet, which puts a draft on the firebox and keeps oxygen flowing in from below. When the fire is extinguished on an oil-burner, things suddenly get very quiet.
