Steam Encounters in the USA vol. 1: PRR and ATSF steam at Sandusky, Ohio
 

May 05, 2024

Jim Guerin photographs leased Santa Fe steam (and more) on the PRR at Sandusky, Ohio in 1956

They keep comin'! Here is the sixth video previewing the proposed Steam Encounters in the USA vol. 1.

This time, Jim Guerin encounters something VERY interesting: leased oil-burning ATSF 2-10-4 steam locomotives operating on the Pennsy at Sandusky, Ohio in 1956!


In our seventh video (above) our photographer catches a B&O "Big Six" blasting out of Willard, Ohio plus action on the Norfolk & Western at Blue Ridge, Virginia.
