GSMR 1702 - Some Kudzu Coverage

Stomping its way up the line, Great Smokey Mountain Railroad 1702, a 2-8-0 consolidation type steam engine, passes by the many areas where kudzu has taken over, just right of the frame.
Kudzu is an invasive species in the US, ironically brought over to stop soil erosion, it’s now know as the “Vine That Ate the South!”

WMSR 561 - GE Thunder at Sunnyside

Western Maryland 561, a General Electric B32-8, wastes no time hauling is train around the curve at Sunnyside as it nears the road crossing at Woodcock Hallow.
The 12-cylinder diesel engine chugs aways as its glimmering red and white paint streaks through the snow cloaked mountainous Appalachian countryside

Union Pacific 4012 - Some TLC at Night

Tending to the giant, a crew of women carefully cleans the number board and headlight of Union Pacific “Big Boy” 4012. During World War II, scenes like this became increasingly common on the home front as women stepped into roles traditionally held by men who had gone overseas to serve. Their work became essential to keeping America’s railroads, transportation network, and industrial infrastructure operating, making them enduring symbols of the nation’s strength and resilience.

Taken during the Lerro 4014 + 4012 Big Boy Reunion photo session in cooperation with The Iron Horse Society and Steamtown National Historic Site.
