"Believe it or not, a Reading T-1 once pulled excursions over these rails!" I'd like to have seen that! Maybe the New Hope and Ivyland will eventually get their NdeM #3028 4-8-4 running over it's former Reading New Hope branch. Cool shot, Jeff. With that in mind, the second car no longer seems too large for the line.

Mitch, there's a page on Facebook called Casshews where photos of Cass from its early inception all the way up to today are shown. I have seen photos on there of the Reading T-1 pulling excursions on the C&O line through there in the 70s. It was actually 2102 that pulled excursions through the C&O line before. Here's another interesting fact, if it weren't for the flood, C&O 1308 in Huntington, WV would have been restored to pull excursions on the C&O line.
