Wordless Wednesday #159

Talky Tuesday #113

This “Talky Tuesday ” will refer all the way back to “Wordless Wednesday #155” of May 02, 2018. How time flies! (Mostly due to family and work obligations.) Hopefully any future hiatus will not be so long. However, my supply of decent unscanned and unpublished S&NY photos is dwindling, so the “Wordless Wednesdays” will definitely be spaced out further, and future posts perforce will tend to be centered on the model S&NY.

Anyway, “WW #155” is a simple shot of #119 at rest in the Towanda engine facility, date unknown.

4-6-0 #119 leads a mixed freight in last week’s “WW #141”. 5 cars back is a mid-train helper. A number of photos show a helper engine multiple cars back in S&NY freights; I assume this was due to weight restrictions on bridges. Location of the photo is uncertain.

“WW #137” of a week ago shows us high-stepping #119 rolling a mixed freight along at track speed. The plume of steam above the boiler could be from the safety valves lifting, or from the whistle blasting for a grade crossing near the photographer. Combination car #206 carries the markers at the rear. Location is not known to me.

S&NY #119 smokes things up while departing North Towanda in last week’s “WW #92”. Timeframe is likely late spring, given the sunshine and the plow affixed to the pilot of the #119.
