A friend of mine models the Susquehanna & New York in HO scale (a great model railroad to operate on). I e-mailed him Rufus's pics of the B&S and he sent me the youtube IRL. He is a collector of info on the short lines in Pa. and NY that went from the Middle of Nowhere through Forsaken Wilderness to the Back of Beyond.

John,
I found this interesting and intriguing because it is not something that many get to see.
Thank you for posting and thank your pilot friend for allowing us to see these photos.

A light snow often makes it easier to find old roadbeds.
I Recall an old narrow gauge right of way in Eastern Kentucky that was not very seeable
except in the winter when a little snow made it even better.

How come they are always the only ones laughing? Nobody else laughs, except for the occasional nefarious sidekick sumbich. Huh? HUh?

That's because with the Joker, the joke is always on you.....

Baltimore & Cumberland Valley RR 4-4-0 #9 at Chambersburg, PA

Looks like a big 4-4-0, any idea on the build date?

Nope. The Western Maryland experts might have an answer.

Wasn't it mainly Baldwin, who had the thing for three domes?

Extended smokebox and slide valves, I'm guessing twentieth century.
