Talky Tuesday #11

Last week’s WW #39 is a late spring scene along either Pleasant Stream or Schrader Creek. I do not believe this was taken on the PRR Elmira Branch, as the creek does not seem quite wide enough for Lycoming Creek.

Also, the identity of the locomotive is uncertain at this distance from the head-end, and the train is an interesting mix of pre-war freight cars.

Since most of the technical details are lost to time, let us simply sit back against the cushions, bask in the warmth from the spring sunshine shining through the cupola windows and the smell of fresh coffee wafting up from the caboose stove, and enjoy the trip…
