Broad Top and the Barn or No. 16 Under Steam

Last Saturday, we visited the fabled East Broad Top in passing.

This was one stop in our quick pass through central Pennsylvania.

We waited along highway 522 for the northward EBT passenger train

In the 15 years since, I last made photographs along the line (, EBT has undergone tranformations.

This was my first opportunity to catch recently restored EBT Mikado No. 16 under steam.

Two Years Ago: Soo Mikado Photo Freight

On November 14, 2021, Kris and I were invited to participate in a Trains Magazine-sponsored photo freight with Soo Line 2-8-2 Mikado No. 1003.

The trip was organized by Angela Pusztai-Pasternak and hosted by Wisconsin & Southern.

Although we only joined the trip for a few of the scheduled run-bys, we had a wonderful time and made dozens of satisfying photos.

The trip was very special for me because it was the last time I saw Jim Wrinn—late Editor of Trains Magazine.
