After a crazy weekend of masking and painting, followed up by an
equally crazy Monday when we shot the last of the black paint on
the unit, affixed the handrails, lettering, etc and on Tuesday
they were assembled for the Big Adventure!
A quick trip behind two Delaware - Lackawanna RS-3's to the NS
interchange at Slateford , PA and then the wait for NS.
Successfully handed off to two NS Catfish, they continued their
trek to Allentown , PA where they await the RDG unit from URHS.
Also waiting for the Erie E-8 to show up before continuing to
Harrisburg , Roanoke , and on to Spencer , NC .
A set of matched A-B-A F3's in that beautiful DL&W paint
scheme is definitely a purty sight to see in 2014.
Hope to see y'all in Spencer , NC in a couple of weeks!!
Note: These locomotives are headed to the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC, for a special event called Streamliners at Spencer featuring 25 classic streamliner locomotives of the 1930s - 1950s. More information can be found at the following website:
