If you stop by here on a regular basis, you know I like trains, especially diesels. The older and the rustier, the better. I spotted this gem recently at the Von Storch repair shop in Scranton.
It's tough to read, but it says Winchester & Western on the side. A Google search shows that railroad operates in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
It happens every time I see an old train. The song "City of New Orleans" plays in my head. I wonder how it got here, where it's been, what it's hauled, and what happens next.
Sadly, if it's at Von Storch, there's a good chance it will be salvaged for parts and scrap.
