The 4268

Talking about trains, oh wait, that was a while ago wasn't it?
Well, it was my intention to follow up this train post with this one.
But we all know what happened in the middle...

We were on vacation up in New Hampshire when we passed these railroad tracks,
this railroad trussell and a group of people with cameras.
I had no idea why they were there, 
or what was happening but because of my fear of missing out on anything, 
the hubs turned the car around and we went back.


Everyone was waiting for this newly restored 4268 train.
It took one year to restore the train, 
and
it made its public debut on April 24th of this year.
If you are intrigued by this story and train like I was,
  there is a fairly short but very interesting article about it here.



There were passengers in these train cars attached to the 4268.



It stopped at this station...and changed direction.



It attached to the 573 and switched direction.



In these pictures, the 4268 is the rear train.
The 573 is the lead train.


- it is never too late to be what you might have been -

    Hello Debbie,
    Cool train photos, the newly restored engine looks great. I like the cute train station too. I am glad your hubby turned the car around so you did not miss the train arriving. Take care, have a great day and happy new week!

    that bridge picture is so so good, I love it! It's ALSO good with the train cmoing through it! I hated to hear that y'all had been in a car wreck, Debbie! That is awful. How are you feeling? Hopefully home, resting, and recovering. I bet you are sore. GET WELL SOON!!

    How fun to turn around and find that you could photograph this beautifully restored train. My photos are stunning. My hubby and I have talked many times about taking a trip on a train. I do think it sounds fun.
    Big hugs to you!
