Appropriately, for last week’s “WW #114” we have a nice broadside view of S&NY #114. I believe the location is around Towanda, given the background, but not 100% sure.

A handsome nearly-new S&NY 4-4-0 #113 glints in the sun in last week’s “Wordless Wednesday”, coincidentally “WW #113”. The #113 was purchased from Baldwin in 1907, and scrapped in 1934.

S&NY 2-8-0 #116 basks in the early spring sunshine at Towanda in last week’s “WW #112”. The time is a guess based on the sun angle and the bare trees, and I would guess the year is around 1940?

Last week’s “WW #111” offered something a little different. Reader Jim Anderson is re-creating the Elmira Branch in digital format, and sent along this view of Marsh Hill Junction and the PRR’s Bergan tower. The SNY’s junction track can be seen just beyond the bridge over Lycoming Creek.
If I had to start over, would I build a virtual digital version of the S&NY, instead of in real-space HO scale?
Good question…

Last week’s “WW#110” is photo of what is essentially a funeral train. In it, a train of gondola cars loaded with rails lifted from the S&NY roadbed heads for Newberry, where they will be re-laid at the ammunition plant being built at White Deer, PA or sent for scrap for the war effort.
