Post date: Jan 16, 2015 10:58:43 PM

With Richard Kamm home after the automobile accident in which he broke his neck, the Sue Line Group was back in action. Led by Ken Ellison (below with Train 48), himself recovering from right knee surgery, let's follow  some trains.

AMTRAK TRAIN 48

Following the Christmas Special, it was back to "usual" for Amtrak.

We first see Train 48 at the depot in Sue City (above).

Just south of Sue City, we see Train 48 at Crawley's Ridge.

Next we see Train 48 as it passes through Robert's Crossing.

Here we see Train 48 as it enters the tunnel just south of Leming.

After a brief stop at the depot in Maryville, Train 48 is ready to leave.

Train 48 is seen moving through North Park. Rail fans frequent this spot.

Train 48 passes through the woods north of Jeauxville.
