After seeing Steve Carlson's photo of DL&W RS11 1804 at East Stroudsburg yesterday, I had to go check and see if I had uploaded all my shots from the two times I've gotten the RS11 on the Pocono Main. Here we have PT-98 cresting the grade at Pocono Summit in a splash of sunlight on a trying afternoon, with 1804 leading 3642, 3000 and 211.
After meeting the PO-84 at Winton, PO-74 runs east past Elmhurst with the 3007 leading two of the road's 6 axle MLW products.
DL PO-84 was sent out ahead of the PO-74 to pick up empties from the grain mill at Pocono Summit, and is returning west for Scranton at Elmhurst, PA. They'll soon meet the PO-74 at Winton, which will then come east for Slateford.
Delaware-Lackawanna's C636 3642 was pulling past the former Lackawanna tower in Tobyhanna while dealing with propane and propane accessories.
It's always a productive day on the Delaware-Lackawanna.
Under a plume of smoke the DL PO-74 departs Scranton with the usual trio of 6 axle Alco/MLW products hauling a decent train for points east.
DL PO-74 has arrived at Pocono Summit with a quintet of the companies ALCOs on the point. With mostly grain cars for Ardent Mills behind them & only a few hours left to work, the crew will take only the grains cars & work Ardent Mills before calling it a day.
Also having the companies 2 Erie Lackawanna C425s on the point was an added bonus since they would have ran on this line regularly back in the 60s & 70s. 10-19-21
PO74 heads up into the poconos with 3 MLWs viewed from the Erie Jessup Branch. They would make a pick up at Winton shortly after passing here and continue east to the Delaware Water Gap
