STEAM EXCURSION PART 2


Several dump trucks are lined up, ready to deliver coal to the 1645. The coal will be loaded into the 1645's tender by conveyor.



The excursion train arrives, led bySD40 3174. The train consists of ex- APRR stainless steel passenger cars. Since they still use steam heat instead of Head End Power, the 3174 has been rebuilt with a high short-hood to accomodate a steam generator. It usually operates with the excursion train when the steamers aren't being used.


A water truck is poised to fill the 1645's tender water tank. Soon, she'll be ready to go!
