Hot time in the old town
Title:  Hot time in the old town
Description:  The shot is kinda nuked, but I like the effect. When the Steamtown trains ran on the ex DLW to Kinglsey, the station area came alive with a lot more activity than youd expect for the size of the town. Several hundred riders were met by a crew of volunteers who opened the station, selling refreshments and souvenirs. It was quite a party. In this shot, we see 4-6-2 2317 along with a big crowd.

Foggy morning train
Title:  Foggy morning train
Description:  NYSW ran all kinds of excursions. Walter Rich was a railfan, and used the railroad to his advantage to show shippers the facilities, as well as running excursions. Not sure what this one was for. We see a pair of B 40s at the former DLW station at Kingsley, well hidden in the gray of morning fog.

Big crowd
Title:  Big crowd
Description:  Steamtown ran excursions on the ex DLW for several summers in the 1990s, and they were popular. This was due to two engines available, and the route. The DLW Cut Off toward Binghamton had the attractions of Factoryville tunnel, Martins Creek Viaduct, and the prize of Nicholson Bridge, the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world, that year marking its 75th anniversary. The crowd here on the second week of operation on the Cut Off watches as the crew goes through the paces of changing ends.

Since they were running the Steamtown trains, they wanted to make their image one the public would associate with that pleasant experience. Thus we have this D&H herald above the door to the restored DLW station at Kingsley.

Arriving at the DLW station
Title:  Arriving at the DLW station
Description:  One of the benefits of running Steamtown trains on the ex DLW was that the station at Kingsley needed minimal structural work to get it in shape-the DLW built everything on the cutoff for the ages. One of the weekend excursions from Scranton arrives at Kingsley on a September weekend. Sadly, the DLW didnt build for the vandals, and several years after the trains stopped coming here, the building had been so badly damaged it had to be torn down.
