Rail Explorer II RDC Excursion, April 15, 2023 - Photos by Kermit Geary Jr.
The T-1 Reborn-Photos by Kermit Geary Jr (left click on image for larger version, with caption if not on image).
Emerging from the RBMN shops in the spring, restored T-1 2102 thundered into the hearts and camera lenses of a multitude of railfans. Such movie star engines, even if lucky enough to be on home rails, are typically bound to excursion runs; but here we include some images of 2102 turning back the clock 70 years, staying limber and earning a living hauling revenue loads of coal!

Another season of color in the "coal regions". Railfan attention might have turned toward behemoth restorations such as Big Boy, the H6 Mallet, and several 4-8-4's, but graceful, high stepping Light Pacific No. 425 shows it can hold its own, thank you!

Here are some shots of the recent Chris Bost benefit special on the RBMN as the 113, a powerful and beefy looking 0-6-0 made imposing with its Wootten firebox, does the honors.

One must not take for granted the embarrassment of riches RBMN presents to the public on autumn weekends. What other railroad can turn out F units, steam, and RDC's at any time, much less on the same day? Kermit hitched a ride on the F units on November 14 and here are the results.
