To me, that visual presentation exudes the sense of adventure and excitement that must have been intrinsic to those early days of travel by RR throughout the country.

Was a 3' narrow gauge line that ran between the 2 towns about 40-50 miles south of Pittsburgh; subsidiary of the PRR. Surprisingly not modeled much as compared to the EBT.

Thanks for that peek.

I always thought it was especially cool that folks were able to back horses, which were pulling carriages/wagons, into parking spaces. I would imagine it takes skill and guts, for both (!)

And well trained horses!

I watch the young Amish lads backing the wagon to load up stuff at my place and they make it look effortless by all parties.

I think they are inspiring when they are just standing there looking around, too.

Unfortunately it seems that most people like the big long later passenger trains. I prefer these smaller older trains.

While true to some extent, there is a large passionate narrow gauge segment of the hobby that sadly focuses in on just a few select lines.....and there were a host of narrow gauge lines and logging lines all over PA.

LWS once upon a time offered, or looked to offer, a kit for one of the W&W engines. I've never seen one in any condition.

That railroad might hve been the Washington and Waynesburgh or something like that.

It was the Waynesburg & Washington just as written on the card,

In Fort Washington...



In Westminster...

No idea where in Westminster that was taken...doesn't look familiar. Looks like the sign says "Brown's Shoes".

Asking around.

Odd font on that sign as well; looks like it was done by a left handed sign painter,
