Not a good picture?
Title:  Not a good picture?
Description:  This picture has problems - blurred, overcast, etc. Yet there is something about it that draws me. It has soul. When I look at this outfit coming out of Spruce Creek valley and pouring on the power as it heads into Barre straight line, I think of trios of F-7s hauling a redball SW-10 through here in Pennsy days with consist bouncing over the railjoints and springs squealing; of the tuscan red varnish with E units, sharp sounding horns and melodious EMD engines and, even today, the raw surge of power and thrill of a passing freight train in a sense of urgency to reach its next destination. After it is gone, only the sound of a barking dog will disturb the silence of this rural town.

Fair weather friend at Forge
Title:  Fair weather friend at Forge
Description:  NS 9377 slips into Spruce Creek valley past a point that was once known as Forge interlocking. A block station was situated on the north (opposite) side of the tracks and here the narrow, triple-track segment through the valley expanded to a four-track main once more. Of course, now two mains are adequate for what business is left on this route.
