Hey I attended the NRHS Railcamp at Steamtown in July, I thought these pictures might intrest you guys. PS an Adult Railcamp is also held. Heres 1361 kind of sad to see 1361s cab, outside on a flat car We got to tour the Amtrak Wilmington DE shops, on this mp-15 we emptied it's air tank blowing the horn for like an hour :oops: the MP-15 again (the shop manager looked embarressed when an employee would walk bye due to the horn blowing Heres the inside of the HP-8 ? outside of HP-8? wrecked and burned HP-8 Pantogragh man these are huge Outside of shops ex washington terminal switcher, Amtrak will try to sell the loco, but if not it will be scrapped. I asked the shop manager If I could buy the bell, but he said no Then we saw track work We had a presetation by amtrak on a train they were bought in, they were late (just like their trains!) to arive to the adutorium train and big boy privite amtrak car, we got to tour it and it is the nicest amtrak car Ive seen We then got a hand at fireing (or at least trying to fire) this beauty Cheers, Alex
