Be that as it may, let's get an early start on the weekend, dropping the weighty issues of the day, in favor of a photo.
Above is Rahway 15 at Steamtown in Scranton on a recent sunny morning. This is one of a couple Steamtown trains that remind me of the Cannonball, the one that ran between Hooterville and Pixley on a few TV series in the 60's and 70's. By the way, I read where the Cannonball still exists. While this one is significantly different, it does take you back.
The old Reading engine above really made my day. It was gleaming in the late springtime early morning sun. It was begging for a photo.
And, guess what? It's going to be a train-free weekend on the blog!
