Speaking of trains, the farm had this road train, perhaps to entertain the kids, or perhaps just to get attention.

Wrong Bus, 1995 NRHS National Convention, Pocono Summit, PA, USA, 1995

This was....the wrong bus. No, actually that German tourist trying out the driver's seat was fiddling with the crank that changes the headboard. :-) This was actually the bus that was supposed to take us back to the hotel in Lancaster after the Milwaukee Road #261 trip during the 1995 NRHS Convention. That's why I've put a bus photo in my rail photo archives, and the only reason. :-)

As with all classic American train shows, the Steamtown Grand Reopening had to have a "Parade of Steam" featuring everything steam that could turn a wheel. Here's 261 doing its runby.

This shot is the best that I could get in this situation, unfortunately, as the crowding at the Grand Reopening of Steamtown was the largest that I had ever seen at a rail-related event up to that time, and still rivals anything that I've seen since. Even given that it was my best, I still ended up with a guy with a tripod. Notice that he's taking a video of a stationary object. Right.... I also had to crop this to hide a stain on the print that I scanned this from. Anyway, Reading, Blue Mountain, & Northern 425 is also visible in the background on the right.

Here's a final shot that I got of 261 as it departed Pocono Summit in a runby.
