I rode the ES&&NA and rode behind the 201, probably sparked my interests in railroading. I have always kinda hopped that railroad would make a turn around. not looking too good since reader has pulled their two locomotives from the property.

The recently bought a 25 ton critter to haul smaller trains. I think the ES&NA is OK. Maybe not thriving but not seeming to be dying..
