Steamy Day at the Lake Shore Museum

 

Viscose No. 6 passes by a former New York Central GE locomotive built at the nearby Erie locomotive assembly plant on Saturday at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, Pa.

 

Last weekend was dubbed as “steam locomotive weekend” at the Lake Shore Railway Museum at North East, Pa.

Viscose Company No. 6 was featured with runs on the museum grounds along with other activities.

I drove out Saturday with my wife, Ursula. We arrived about 12:30 p.m. and already a good-size crowd was present.

Here is a sample of the photographs that I made during the steam day.
