C.E.DETWOLD is back at it, this time hauling uncut logs to some mill somewhere. Maybe the wood is destined to become newsprint.

The train gets off to a bad start and there may be a flat spot on those drivers now, but maybe not. The engineer restarts and off we go. I included a view in the conductors car this time.

I see you got underway! That chap in the conductor's car looks familiar....

Hey, I stumbled upon this picture the other day, from a B&O "Scenes Along the B&O" book at the Internet Archives... Think you might like to see it. On the old Philadelphia & Columbia, the "Artist's Train" enters the cut.

I saw this photo or one very much like it years ago. I've been looking for it ever since. Thank you.

Does this mean I need a Philadelphia & Columbia version too? I'm assuming this is a B&O train and not P&C.

I believe it is a B&O train, Frank, traversing the old P&C. This is a bit confusing to me, as I thought the P&C became part of the Pennsylvania. Maybe the Artist's train got trackage rights over the competition. :unknw:
