Viewing Album:  Wilmington & Western; Steam up the Red Clay Valley
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:10/13/2012 - 10/20/2012
Album Info:I revisited the W&W with Dad on October 13. We chased the first train (to Mt. Cuba) then rode the second train (The Hockessin Flyer, which runs the whole length of the line). I came back the following Saturday to get one walk-in photo of the Hockessin Train - the photo of #58 on the S-curve bridge in Yorklyn. This was my first time to see Baldwin 0-6-0 #58 operate. The W&W crosses the Red Clay Creek nine times as it meanders up the valley. Curves are frequent and sharp - it's "the route of the squealing flanges".
