WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The prized possession soon following right behind. Its first official assignment on the railroad since it was donated in the 80s. It also takes the turn at Alpine. Seeing this come around the curve was next to surreal, especially after passing it several times in a decrepit condition on State Road 121 for years. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The "North Pole" is located in the middle of a field just south of Alpine. It is pretty much innacessible unless you are on the train so I decided to sit in Alpine to wait for the return. The return chase was obviously the most important, and I saved some shots I skipped out on with 25 to get with 709. Sure enough, about a half hour later the train came rumbling back north with WWVR 709 on the front end. The very first train it has pulled since the 1980s. |

The train crosses over Williams Creek north of Nulltown at 3 Mile Bridge. I had never actually gotten a shot right up at the bridge before. Turned out pretty well. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The train smokes up as it crosses 1st Street. The crossing on the left side of the road is a unique overhead cantilever dating back to NYC steam days with a "no right turn" blinker on the bottom. Unfortunately, it appears the crossing has stopped working as it was flagged both times the train crossed it. Hopefully it will not be replaced, but we shall see. |

The train arrives at the station, preparing to board the 5 PM riders. I went to the north side of the train to grab a shot of 709 with the station in the backdrop. |

The sole flash shot I took this trip. WWVR 709 follows close behind the 5 PM run of the Polar Express passing the Whitewater Campgrounds south of Connersville. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
A wide shot with the traffic on Western Avenue passing by. I have to say, this was definitely one of my better trips of the year. If you would have told me that I would go on a trip and see the only two operating Lima Diesels in the world on the same train a year ago I would have told you you were crazy. The 709 will be in regular operating circulation for the upcoming season, so if anyone wants to get a chance at documenting it, there should be plenty of chances. Shortly after everyone boarded the train went back to the shops and another year of operating along the canal came to an end. What a day! |
