Bill Caloroso – Cal’s Classics
Talky Tuesday #45
In last week’s “WW #73”, S&NY #20 meets #21 at an unknown location, possibly Cabin Run or Long Valley. Some of the crew waiting “in the hole” relax in the shade of a derelict section house.
Talky Tuesday #13
Last week’s WW #41 is another shot from the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library, taken by the late Robert W. Richardson. This view shows the #119 leading a mixed train at Cabin Run on 13 September 1939. Per the caption, supplies are being loaded from combine #204 onto a canvas-topped Civilian Conservation Corps truck.
Note, review of the PA DCNR website reveals CCC camps at both Masten and Laquin along the S&NY, but none named at Cabin Run. I believe this shot may actually have been taken either at Masten or Laquin.
Of note is the 3-domed tank car near the front of the train, similar to one available in HO scale from Tangent Scale Models.
