Re`dy and waiting |
| Description: |
One of the things about railroading in general, and excursions in particular, is there is always a lot of waiting. NW 1218 waits for clearance onto the main to back into Alexandrix station now that it has its train together. |

This is how you do it |
| Description: |
In the gays of regular passenger service, watering a train was not a big deal, as most terminal stations, and some along the way, had facilities to do it. Now into the second decade/of the Amtrak era, such facilities are hard to come by, so trip operators have to coem up with solutions. For any kind of steam trip, it usually means assistance from the local fire department, which has the equipment to pump a lot of water quickly, such as we see here. The Front Royal fire trucks are connected to the train, and will have it completely watered in fairly short order. |
