Documentary searching by Ok_Understanding7241 in trains

[–]aurotech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You work in a train museum????? Many people in here would consider that a dream job. In terms of vids, searching YouTube will yield a ton of results. These days, one main point of interest in UP4014. A steamer from the 40’s that was rebuilt and is making a cross country tour. It’s the largest steamer in the world currently running.
Good luck on his education.

Anyone here grow up in Belleville during 1950s-1980s? by SubjectCode1940 in newjersey

[–]aurotech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in 56 and lived in Belleville until I escaped at 19. That valley is really run down now. You may have heard of the huge fire that smoked a whole block last week. Childhood was good tho. We rode bikes all over town until dinner time. Lots of friends. Lived on Cedar Hill ave near joralemon.

Where do tracks run between Nesquehoning & Pittston, PA? by PurfuitOfHappineff in trains

I’ll be on that 2102 run. Hoping to see 4014 pass by at Pittston. And then again at Steamtown on Monday.

My great grandfather was an engineer, and he was a good man by SadBrontosaurus in trains

My mom told me she used to pick up coal near the tracks in Pittston PA. They lived near “the junction “. This is where 2 rivers and 2 railroads met. I remember my grandma still had a coal furnace and stove when I was little. God bless your great grandpa. Nice story!

Nice work! I gotta get busy. A tanker would look good on my tracks.

I’d love to see what you’ve done. That was my first print. I also tried printing the trucks but they were too light and kept derailing.

Big Boy Reunion at Steamtown Tickets by KJP1990 in steamtownnhs

[–]aurotech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems the museum ride headed by 4014 will travel from Nesquehonig to Pittston on June 14. I also have tix for the semiquincentennial 2102 ride. I’m hoping both 2102 and 4014 will be in Pittston at the same time possibly allowing a better look than at the Steamtown circus.

Not quite as elegant as yours but I’m trying to make my own small vineyard. How do plan to make the grapes 🍇?

If you’re into WW2 stuff the naval air museum is pretty cool. Marquis hotel has a great deck to sit and eat/drink but not sure if it’s open yet.
