Sunday Afternoon Part I

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so I decided to do a photo safari and head down to a local park for some nature photography when I spied the I&O coming into town from Logan! Change plans and get some shots of the small six freight. So, off i go.

The first one on the right is of #3888 hauling its ducks into Lancaster. The tracks to the left are the old PRR line from Bremen.

Second photo is a going away shot as it crossed Maple Ave.

I then took off and went to Cenci Park to set up for the next shot.

I was wondering why it was taking it so long to get there, even at the

sedate pace it was taking. .

Photo three, here it comes, under the Rt. 33 overpass, but wait! Something is missing! So, that why it took so long, the crew dropped off the cars! I reminded me of when I am running my

model railroad, and the engine leaves some cars behind "unexpectedly" in that case.

Finally, (photo 4) the train continues to head north. It was

obviously heading up near the Anchor Distribution center where

I&O's "office" is located. Their day was done!

With part II of this post, I will show you some photos of the old

PC line through Lancaster.
