Just saw the box fan sitting on top of 475's stack in this shot. Never really realized how large the stack is. Makes that fan look tiny.

Last I knew there were two Plymouths around Strasburg: the original Strasburg one, and the "green" one that supposedly showed up from Holtwood Dam in the 1980s (as I recall) and was supposedly converted to run on propane. Which one do we see here? |

Serious question for Kelly or anyone else in the Mechanical Department: How does the Strasburg Mechanical Department recruit/hire their crew? I'm in my early 30s and doing some genuine soul searching. Is there any sort of apprenticeship program? In my current job I could relatively easily transfer to the Lancaster area and work at the Railroad on my days off if it meant working towards actual employment. I'm a builder at heart with basic mechanical and machining skills. Unless I suddenly become qualified to be an astronaut or a race car driver, I can't think of another job I'd be satisfied doing for the rest of my life. I'm not above "paying my dues" as a car host, ticket agent, gift shop clerk, or janitor if that is what it takes. If this isn't an appropriate topic to discuss on the open forum, I can be contacted at brian(dot)wowak@gmail(dot)com. |

Well I can't just swing by, being in Tennessee, but I'm planning on visiting your humble railroad on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend (after riding behind #765 up the Curve on Saturday,) so maybe I'll have to ask about an application. ;) |
