The Coolest Train Picture I Have Seen In A Long Time
Posted by wrawroacx on Friday, November 13, 2009 8:34 PM

This is probably the coolest train picture I have seen in a very long time http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=303927. Also, How many trains a day take this line and also what day of the week is it busiest on this line?

Here's another great picture from the same area accept on ground level http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=287160&nseq=1

This looks like a model, but it's not http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=285832&nseq=3

It's the fantasy train http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=279164&nseq=6

Here's another one http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=279139&nseq=7 

I'm going to have and get down here in Crookham Pennsylvania sometime. To me it's well worth the wait. I've never seen this anywhere else in the world before until now. These are best pictures I've seen a very long time.

All these pictures above, are not mine.

That one, the first one, and all the rest are really dramatic, clear and so different RR pic's.  Very unusual and really nice.

W&LE operates the former P&WV trackage.  When the P&WV was built, all the water level routes had been taken by other carriers, as a consequence the P&WV built along the ridge lines and had to build numerous high and long bridges to span the valleys.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Great, but I don't think I'd want to live in the house near the base of that bridge support!
