Phil & Martha's Infinite Road Trip - Day One

First stop - Steam town National Park - Scranton PA. The photo above is of a "Big B0y" the largest and most powerful steam locomotive built....both the leading and trailing sets of four wheels are articulated to accomadate its length.

I love old mechanisms and big and old are even better... Check out the scale of the gears for the crane above

There is plenty of rolling stock in various states of repair - including abut a half dozen being displayed as they are restored in the roundhouse including this one from NH.
A great shot of the roundhouse turntable. (Did i mention Martha took all these?)

I guess a fitting image to finish this post with is with the technolgy that spelled the end of steam power....
